All valid points but when your travelling at the same speed as a headphone zombie, right up there ass with no space to pass and they still can’t hear your loudest voice, the question of who has the right of way isn’t on my mind. A cattle prod would be useful o_O;)

I’ve still got a sore throat 24 hours later after the loudest shouting I’ve done since being a child. Yesterday on a narrow towpath I came up behind a headphone zombie, bell not heard so I shouted “bike coming through” and again “BIKE” “BIKE” with my front wheel nearly touching here heal...

Cube acid one 2018 model are now selling for under £1200 . I have the same bike in the 500 flavour and if it was misplaced I’d buy the same again. https://www.twelve50bikes.com/7624/products/2018-cube-acid-hybrid-one-400-29-electric-mountain-bike-black.aspx

Charliefox what you need are pendulum pedals not cheap but they do allow you to keep a sensible saddle height

Forget “E” bikes and all the technical difficulties they may bring with them. As a member of a social cycling group, I’m amazed at the lack of knowledge about the most basic things from fixing a puncture to changing through the gears to suit conditions. On a recent ride, I saw a rider...

Who was that then ?

Just post a few inappropriate pictures and comments including swearing, I’m sure you’ll soon be history :eek:;)

If you can find a way of mounting it and have some 18650 cells There’s the Skyray range of torches, a very bright but a bit chunky torch. Take your pick https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2060353.m570.l1311.R1.TR5.TRC0.A0.H0.Xskyray.TRS0&_nkw=skyray+torch&_sacat=0

Railway tunnels are a unique cycling environment and most folks don’t know just how dark they are, the walls, ceiling and floor have the ability to absorb light rather than reflect it. I have both lights awol mentioned. The first is a good all round light, I use it as both a drl and to light my...

It’s not Halfords in general just certain branches, my local branch is staffed by competent bicycle mechanics (not that I need there services) I would recommend a formal complaint, not to the branch manager but online. Any complaints make the manager look bad and he is then likely to contact the...

There’s a formula for working out secondhand prices around here somewhere, it won’t be long before someone pops it up. In the mean time it’s worth considering the battery replacement costs as the capacity reduces not only with usage but also with age, also 400Wh was once top spec but not...

That’s exactly the response Bosch is looking for, they don’t want you (or anyone else for that matter) messing with there design and breaking the law. Simply self preservation as there’s plenty of law abiding citizens who will buy there products ;)

I’m not much help with all the tyre options as I’ve found my two favourites, and there both Schwalbes. 29x2.1” big apples on my analog cruiser, 29x2.25 smart sam double defence snakeskin on my analog MTB and for my Cube Acid one I have two prs of wheels, one with 2.35” Apple plus’s and the...

The Simple answer is yes. Like me you have 700c rims so you can fit any tyre width you like, 38mm is a bit skinny for my taste but they’ll fit no problem.

I look in every day or two and don’t see it that way, I just click on “what’s new” and choose a few subjects to read. Simples

According to the above article, all Bosch’s 2020 motors will be able to detect if a dongle is fitted and back off the assist and power, the motor will reset itself after an hour and work normally again (as long as there’s no dongle) but try dongling 3 time and the system shuts down completely ...

That makes good business sense, I wonder if Kia will do that with my car, this years model has more horse power than the one I brought last year :p

I assume you didn’t bother following the link I put up so hears another part from Sheldon’s tyre section, it’s worth a read and it may challenge some of your preconceptions Hydroplaning Car and truck tires need tread, because these vehicles are prone to a very dangerous condition called...

Here’s a quote from the famous Sheldon Brown “Bicycle tires for on-road use have no need of any sort of tread features; in fact, the best road tires are perfectly smooth, with no tread at all! Unfortunately, most people assume that a smooth tire will be slippery, so this type of tire is...

Clicking spokes don’t automatically mean you need to adjust the tension, check them by all means but I’m still using the wheels I mentioned earlier with no adjustments to spoke tension in over 1000 miles :cool:
