Thanks. Some good choice/prices at Rose by all accounts but I'm rather put off by the £7+ shipping charge to the UK (even though the total might come in below the £20). Just surprises me that these are so hard to find at a reasonable price from within the UK.

About 550mm?

Yes. I'd seen those but am looking for a set which is closer to the "standard" width.

Well, I was hoping to get them under £20, including any P&P

Apologies if this is in wrong part of the forum - but couldnt find anywhere where this sort of request would easily sit (is the Forum missing something? - or is it just me?!). Anyway, I'm trying to track down a set of North Road handlebars - but in black. Didn't think it would be a problem but...

OK. Many thanks. Yes, I have the Big Bear - the one with the "crossbar", just like yours. I would like to find some that are black though, rather than the chrome/silver

Probably too early to get feedback on whether the ones you ordered from eBay have fitted OK, but could you let me know which ones you ordered - there are so many different ones listed on eBay!. Thanks

What about this one? https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/handlebars/humpert-ewg-handlebar-254mm-clamp-chrome-550mm/

Thi This sort of thing? http://www.jakesbikes.co.uk/content/776.php#.V8RgMzWuqZg or like this? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Humpert-EWG-Upright-Swept-Back-Handlebars-Dutch-Style-RETRO-Ape-Hanger-esque-/201334193620?var=&hash=item2ee073fdd4:m:mxF5jDCzTAgluNqlG2b_C3w I'm thinking of changing to...

OK. Thanks. I would be very interested to know how you get on with fitting the replacement handlebars. Mine came with the straight handlebars - see pic (hopefully):

Where did you order the handlebars from? I have had a Big Bear for about two years. Very happy with it but the handlebars are, more or less, straight. I quite fancy some along the lines in your picture (although I will have to make sure my technical/mechanical abilities would be up to...

I'm intrigued about the traction issue. I've used a Big Bear for a couple of years now but not really had any traction issues. I'm not particularly heavy (11 stone) - if that's relevant. The only hint of a traction problem is if I go up to setting 4 when tackling a hill, especially if I kick it...

Welcome back d8veh! (OK, OK - I give in....but I've got my Mio Cyclo now!)

Well, each to his own. Personally, I'm quite happy to pay a bit extra to get a device which is dedicated to the ability to navigate/follow a cycle route. I know there are advantages and disadvantages to each system but, for me, I want to avoid the potential problems of using a smartphone which...

See later for my agreement re a Mio Cyclo. In my experience, the Cycle Sat Navs don't come with cycling routes already installed - just the maps (but showing not just roads. For example, the Mio Cyclo also shows footpaths and tracks). Its just a matter then of downloading cycling routes onto the...

I'd certainly recommend a Cyclo Mio. I have the 300. Now been superceded but I'm not sure the new models offer that much more. When I last looked around, one of these can be bought new for about £150. (Also works as a SatNav for your too!)

Depends what you mean by "a good price". I know they can be bought for around £150 (see, for example, on eBay - new, free postage, from Germany).

Many thanks. The whole thing is getting rather complicated - with different advice from different people. Clearly I will have to discuss with Woosh but, at the moment I'm trying to find ways of definitely testing the battery before going through the complications/trouble of getting it sent back

Many thanks. I will explore the Tuffnells option. I have got a label (see attached) which I understood would be the correct one to put on the packaging. The "correct carton" looks like a useful option. Could you send me information re the charge etc for getting one of those to me please? Looks...

I need to send the battery from a Woosh Big Bear back to Woosh. They have suggested InterlinkDirect but, looking online, the cost is going to be over £20 (to include enough insurance to cover the value of the battery). I'd like to shop around. Does anyone know of other companies that will...
