In my world Cowell would be charged with gross incompetence and in the future not allowed out without adult supervision :D

From my room temp say 20 degrees to airing cupboard for an hour probably 25 degrees, I think I’ll be ok

I went out a few days ago on one of my usual routes and I was wearing my cold wet weather gear as it was 3 degrees, a little misty and a light wind. As the ride progressed the wind picked up and the mist turned to drizzle. Riding in sport mode this 25 mile route would normally use 3 of the 5...

That bike, Really! What with only a front rim brake and no gears or any easy way to fit them (because that bike has a single speed frame) you’ll be knee deep in problems before you get started.

My 10pence worth I ride with a daytime flashing light and on my travels I see many other cyclists with lights, as i approach them some are dim and only noticeable when they are really close while occasionally some are so bright they glare and obscure the surrounding area. The most noticeable...

I’m an average mid drive rider, average heigh, average weight, average shoe size and i average about 2000 miles a year (rain or shine)

Not all Bosch cranks are the same. I had a bike with a the original active line motor (2014) I’d shortened the crank arms and I brought some cheap isis arms for when I sold it. I kept the shortened arms for my next bike (2018 active line plus) but found that the 2014 ISIS arms didn’t fit the...

Burke and Hare ride again

Definitely reduced range in the cold, I have a Bosch ALP at the moment, this is my third ebike over the last 12 years and all 3 have given less range during each winter only to get back to normal each spring/summer. It’s not a lot but definitely noticeable. you use to be able to buy a neoprene...

So I’ve just looked at Halfords website for the spec on your bike (Shimano Hydraulic BL-M315) and by copying This info and adding the word pads, I did a google search and got this results...

I’d been looking for a crank forward for some time, the only one I’d seen was 3hrs drive away and the auction started at £750 ! Converting a bike I already had only cost my workshop time!, £30 for welding and another £70 when I get it powder coated :cool: ive probably done 50miles since the...

an alternative to dedicate cycling shoes For summer/dry conditions I use cheap fell running shoes, the soles have an exaggerated tread pattern that grips the pedals well and for cold/wet/winter conditions I use Lidl’s waterproof walking boots.

coincidentally as this stretching and back pain thread has been resurrected ;)my current analog project is just back from the welders. I’ve stretched the frame of my spare parts bike to get a bolt upright and flat foot riding position, now I can get both feet flat on the ground while seated...

.. Totally money waste, a bit of tape on vulnerable areas is all you need. put it in perspective, I’m building a bike and just yesterday I stopped off at my local powder coaters for a quote, shot blasted and two part candy over metal flake £70 or a single plain colour £50. You could wreck your...

Ouch, Jon you have my sympathy, I've had a few bumps myself. my big one (RTA) left me with one arm shorter than the other (they couldn’t find all the bone to put it back together) That was over 25 years ago, I’m 59 now and still love the trails but I don’t ride as hard/fast as I could because...

You and me both o_O ;) ive been using Enzos buttonhole cream for a few years now, unlike most other chamois creams it has numbing properties:cool: unfortunately I ran out a couple of months ago and couldn’t find any more in the uk ( plenty state side but shipping doubles the price) I’ve now...
