Door stop on prop stand This is what it looks like and also shows the angle of lean.

My little mod has the advantage of not making the arm stick out any further from the bike centre line which I find useful.

Weird coincidence! I had only seen the couple of further breakages. So glad you are enjoying your Agattu. I get more attached to mine every day that goes by. It has just the right amount of shove to avoid getting breathless while never making one feel one is simply being propelled. And of...

My Agattu was delivered with a faulty prop stand, and although 50 cycles immediately sent me a new one I remained slightly dubious about the very obvious strain which it placed on both the frame and the prop. Now several others have suffered from broken prop stands, and my worries have...

If it's a change and a rest, Flecc, it is very well earned. Enjoy yourself and we will hope to see you again later.

Well folks spring really is coming - I can state if for a fact. In order to avoid a traffic roundabout in heavy traffic, I cheekily cut through a back route into a hotel car-park and round the hotel gardens. It was a bright sunny morning and I passed between two large beds of massed...

Useful if punctures could be coloured! :D

I had actually forgotten about it. Automation can be a pitfall!

Well I should say at once that I know nothing of commerce or finance and my gut feelings are just that - hunches. We HAVE to stop the carbon cycle. That is going to involve cutting down on car usage among much else. We don't have any options here - this has got to be done. One way to...

My offer was just that - not in any way a threat. I am of no importance but Flecc is vital. I've now had my say and shall say no more. Nobody has been hurt, nobody has lost money. Small things like a fire at Panasonic or Derby cycles could see people still waiting this time next year...

Possibly 50cycles too get fed up with exactly repeated moans and ignore them when nothing can be done. I have told of my own experience on here, which is one of fast efficient service, including the replacement of a faulty part without fuss on any sort. If people want smarmy salesmanship then...

None at all - the first time. It's when they blow off steam on here over and over again in exactly the same way that it gets irritating to say the least. And it does damage. It has already lost the forum one valued supplier. If steam has to be let off every thirty seconds over a matter which...

I'm a little loath to speak having got my Agattu almost as soon as I ordered it, but things have now come to such a pass that one feels bound to stand up and be counted. This constant bitching at 50cycles is now not so much bathos as absurdity. There is nothing 50cycles can do; people have GOT...

Despite having just bought an Agattu I kid myself that I can't afford anything - and that gives me freedom to knock everything under your proposed system! I agree with you!! I think!! Therefore I am - aren't I?? Maybe. :confused:

I had a suspicion that was so although with nothing but instinct to go by! Well there are plenty of Americans who love toys and I don't mean that to sound in any way derogatory. Nothing wrong with toys at all - as long as they are described as such. I love the Bush story! :p But I can't gloat...

A splendid philosophy and one to which I have always subscribed. Unfortunately since we have been retired "her indoors" has insisted on the occasional "sort out" which always involves flinging away priceless material long treasured away. Even "my" bit of the shed is no longer sacrosanct. Of...

I've been reading yet another news item about the Segway in America. Sorry I've lost the URL which I meant to post. Blame the clipboard. I've never liked the idea of this contraption although a lot of knowledgeable people do seem to have liked it. Has anyone here ridden one - or even seen one...

That is a splendid tip, Flecc, and I shall now certainly be on the lookout. I had been thinking of trying to fix reinforcing underneath the guard but this solution would be so much better. Unfortunately the Felixstowe Halford's has pretty well stopped stocking most bicycle stuff, I can't...
