I have always broken in new brake pads on my car and also do on my bike..... I had a KTM e-bike which was my first bike with hydraulic Disc brakes and I found the brakes amazing. I have just bought a new Cube e-bike and on my first ride I thought the brakes were poor... However having broken in...

Well if the Gtech adverts don't get bums off sofas and onto saddles as Basicasic suggests... it might get them vacuuming the house or mowing the lawn! They must have an almost endless advertising budget..... always on TV and full colour page ads in many Sunday supplements.

I was near their factory and popped in for a test ride on their excellent track. I have a knee waiting replacement but found it rode well on the flat, I struggled to do a hill start but to be honest at 18.5 stone with two knackered knees I wasn't surprised. If I wasn't the size I am, didn't live...

Think you went for the sensible option.... we are so used to watched being waterproof these days.

Fitbit now say their unit isn't waterproof.

It charges very quickly... pop it on charge while you do your "morning ablutions"... you need to take it off while you shower anyway.... it keeps it topped up.

I put one on the front on the KTM I had. It made a huge difference... it kept the muck off the Bosch motor. It was so good I have one ordered for my Cube when it arrives. I don't see why it won't fit the rear guard.

I'm looking for some advice about a camera for my bike. I believe, in the main, you get what you pay for, but it looks as if you can get a well known make such as Panasonic for <£100 or go to >£400 for something like a GoPro. I just want something to log an incident when some nugget cuts me out...

Apologies.... I must have had a day when my sense of humour was stuck in one of the aforementioned bear traps! ...... or was it stuck one of the very large potholes which seem to be plaguing our roads today?

Ok this sometimes does happen and I don't think it's only in the North East. There are hundreds of miles of first class cycle tracks in the North East with excellent scenery. I realise the OP is making a point but please don't judge the North East solely on these photos ( or the other recent...

re your mudflap issue.... I have used the SKS Spoiler XXL from Tredz - at £2.99 (delivered) they are superb value!

Great quality..... what make of camera were these vids taken on?

It should arrive on Friday.. I'm suffering from withdrawal symptoms! I will write a report on it after I have given it a good trial.

Cheers Andy.... so glad it went to someone who'll really appreciate it! Happy cycling.

Last time I looked at government ministers we had a "May" and a "Hammond" ..... how's about getting a "Clarkson" ?

It seems to me that RH is an adrenaline junkie. I think it's about time he thought a bit more about his family rather than behaving like an overgrown schoolboy.

I realise this conversation has gone on a long way from the advice given in your posting.... This was never explained to me when I got my last Bosch powered KTM (The dealer has now given up selling bikes) .... I will certainly try it when I'm next out... at least I know know what cadence means...

I heartily agree with Gubbins. I find this works well once you get through on the phone. Regarding "getting through on the phone" I'm in great danger of wearing out the redial button........ When I need to phone for an appointment, I ring before the surgery opens and once I get the pre-recorded...

Sold to forum member Andy.... I'll be sad to see it go...

Yes the bike my wife has ordered is a step through! ..... so I'll be much more stable getting on an off!
