Just a few words on Halfords 1600 LM rechargeable light. I’ve been an advocate of Chinese lights and separate battery packs for a long time but I’ve been getting fed up of not knowing the state of change without getting my multi meter out. The same goes for my lezyne lite drive 1000. So I...

I’ve already a good variety of gloves but with reynards I thought I’d give these ago https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UK-Mens-Electric-Rechargeable-Battery-Heated-Touchscreen-Winter-Hand-Warm-Gloves/362795792757?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=631949453650&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 they should...

You were unfortunate to get nabbed by the vat man, he was probably having a bad day. I usually keep my purchases under £22 without issue. If it’s any more than that with multiple items then I try to buy them individually

Here’s a thought for the permanently fixed lighting brigade, What happens when you are cycling in the dark on an unlit road and you get a puncture or anything else that requires your attention (chain or gear issues etc) and that’s just as likely to happen as a flat battery. I always have at...

IMO I think a lot of people new to ebikes tend to forget that under the dreaded cutoff there efforts are multiplied by 200/300 % and then all of a sudden it’s taken away and the reality of riding a 24kg bike with probably fat slow tyres hits home. Try riding with little or no assistance upto and...

The human race is adaptive, it will continue whatever the climate. I’ve no first hand experience of this but I’m lead to believe that Britain was once covered in ice and before that it was a sub tropical paradise. Go figure!

I wouldn’t give it screen time, mindless pap for the brain dead masses. Stick it with Britain’s got celebrity come dance-off on ice

Been doing it for years without a problem, someone has either had Some bad luck or been given some bad advice ;) :p

I’d rather have hubs on all my bikes but I recently parted with my only hub geared wheel in favour of a 9 speed cassette. purely for convenience mind, I now have two 9 speed bikes and 3 pairs of wheels and tyres that fit either and can be swapped in the blink of an eye (discs and cassettes...

He probably put it in the wash with a new red shirt ;) I did something similar last week but it was only an old work shirt that’s looking a bit pink now :D

I can ! I just press a little harder on the pedals for one stroke before easing off and changing gear and that not a theory, it’s a fact. simples :p

Just a quick look and I found this one for a full suspension bike that would work. (I’ve no idea of the price/value of such things because I would “engineer” my way around problems like this):p;)...

Artstu advice based on guess work can be confusing, 35mm rims ? The acid one has 700c rims with an inner width of 19mm. I do agree that 2” is still a big tyre. Medi, , putting too small a tube in is risky but a larger tube will fit a smaller tyre.

I have apples in both 2.1 & 2.25 and can’t tell them apart when riding. I recommend green guard for the best protection. A quick search and I found these...

I have a 27.2 post with a sleeve too bring it up to 30.9mm The link was just as an example ;) but shop around and you may find one for under £50. Just to confirm the seatpost diameter https://www.cube.eu/cz/2018/e-bikes/mountain/hardtail/acid/cube-acid-hybrid-one-500-29-blacknwhite-2018/

I have an acid one and if I lost it for any reason I’d probably buy the same again :p I have a NCX seatpost for my bad back and XLC trekking bars...

Hi gstheo, while reading through some older posts I found one this thread and I realised I may have what you were after. i have some “on one”/“Planet X” 29er carbon forks not being used (previously fitted to my last E-cube) and a “Taylor wheels” 700c rear wheel with a Shimano 8 speed hub...

I was just looking at them so still had my link open ;)...

Male bravado then, don’t do something sensible and just cable tie your “D”rings/carabiners in position on the handle bars and live with the consequences :p;):D
