    Front Mudhugger ( extra long )

    Unable to find what I want I came up with a crude but hopefully an effective solution. Bendy plastic from a A4 folder and a few cable ties. Fits with one large and two small Velcro ties

    Charging indoors is always favourite, the battery chemistry dosent like charging in the cold, especially as the winter is almost upon us. You will also get better milage if you only put the battery on the bike just before your ride rather than leaving it on the bike in the cold.

    Front Mudhugger ( extra long )

    As do my beaver tails and mounting isn't a problem as I can make brackets. I was kinda hoping that instead of just making brackets for my beaver tails, I could not only to keep the worst off the muck off of me and the down tube (beaver tails do this) but also keep the muck away from the fork...

    Thanks but that's mudguard mounting 101, I was looking for an alternative guard. " I could come up with some sort of bracket but just maybe somebody knows of a decent length hugger style front mudguard"

    Front Mudhugger ( extra long )

    Nice find, I'll see if I can find a decent picture at the right angle to see how much lower protection it gives ;) Today a part of my 25 mile circuit was 200yards of unavoidable cow slurry, without any front guard it meant bike, clothes and shoes covered in it :eek: the bike gets the hose but...

    Front Mudhugger ( extra long )

    so ive fitted my new Rockshox air forks (supper smooth) but there's no hole in the cross-brace to fit my SKS beaver tail mudguard. I could come up with some sort of bracket but just maybe somebody knows of a decent length hugger style front mudguard, ( and I mean long, my beaver tail has a 6"...

    Forking bad luck

    Update 1/ For the forks I brought a headset with a decent stack, to help compensate for the shorter axle to crown height. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Uberbike-44-56-Headtube-Tapered-Headset-Ceramic-Bearings-Green/152694628842?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649 Wow, supper...

    Forking bad luck

    It started a few weeks ago asking for my key code half way through the night while charging and more recently shutting down while I was calling someone or just surfing, it was taking longer to restart each time. I was advertised to update the software (which I did last night), it then worked...

    Forking bad luck

    As to owning apple products, my only Internet access is via the iPad 2 I've had from new and that keeps plodding along, admittedly it's slowing down and can't quite download my dash cam footage but it's ok for this forum stuff and buying tat from the bay. With the phone I think I just got a bad...

    Forking bad luck

    I'm told if I make an appointment at a big Apple Store (25 miles away) if they can't fix it there and then, then it will be replaced as its only 2 months old. So much for my first venture into smartphones, I've grafted the nano sim back into a big sim and I'm back with my old clamshell :(

    Forking bad luck

    not a problem I can't overcome but what a day ! Earlier this week I'd decided to upgrade the forks on my cube acid one, i thought I'd gone about it the right way by checking the manufacturers spec. OEM headset = FSA Orbit 1.5B ZS-R, Top Zero-Stack 1 1/8" (OD 44mm), Bottom Zero-Stack 1 1/2" (OD...
