Indeed yes, im so tight i squeak, or so ive been told countless times. and any savings can go towards a 2nd bike hitch attachment so both road bikes are ready to roll with cargo..

Having a late start to the day netflix in bed etc.. Its sunday and chilli outside and i was ebaying in the wee hours,, .. But will measure at some point, the ebay 2nd use homcom is @75 ish now inc delivery, my low ball bid got swept aside with the sunday morning shoppers.. and at the...

What measurements are of interest? i can post pics next to a meter rule if useful? Thats very good to know about the homcom.. ive put a cheeky ebay £50 bid on one thats come up for auction.. digits crossed.. You never know about hidden features with 2nd use kit,.. i can bite the bullet...

I see the crater now r 21 looks like it got a lil warm but the 113 on it tells us its 11000 or 11 kohm, so you can test that, above it T2 is the leg of the resistor and above that the crater and the unpopulated double box for R16, and to the right what i assume is the new 5v ldo which looks...

So I got one of these.. But currently have no trailer, my initial plan was to ebay a local kiddy trailer to rob the axel, wheels and tow bar from, having seen similar done in a utube vid some time ago.. Hell i just asked a neighbor who shops at aldi if he sees one and is up for it to pick me...

can you take more pics of the mystery item, it looks like a solderblob suspended in mid air or standing on 3 spider thin legs?? But the 2 not so clean solderpads just above to the right suggest its the underside of a component thats 'fallen' from there when overheated ???

its the extra length from the axle as a result from securing the supports to the forks not taken up by sufficient bending.. Unlike other traditional mudguard designs the supports can not be pushed back, there is wheel clearance at the front although my poor photography dose not indicate it.

indeed yes, i should have browsed up to see the green plug.. not a pcb..

any costs from legislation or regulation will come from the pockets of those paying for delivery and those doing the delivery, with the knock on effect of folk demanding a better quicker service in line with the extra cost and deliverers racing faster to make less money. And who benefits?

Isopropanol (IPA) 70-99% alcohol and a gentle toothbrush is a good way to clean pcb's clear nail polish can be a cheap waterproof coating to hamper future corrosion

Your bike looks as if its been down the trails i hope to follow @georgehenry, Yours is the second of the 'more common' styles i spotted and thanks for clarifying the need for a strap/support, as I was wondering how they didnt just fall out?? but for now i have cable tied on the 'spare'...

Cheers.. have pushed the button on one of those switch sets.. damn the cost!! as for relays, since i have a 5v2a rail from the psu i selected i will use 5v switching relays in modules aimed at the arduino diy ecosystem. and this will facilitate any 'smart' additions i finally add.. Cant...

can they afford the back hander to the PM thats generally required for scooter-ish wide spread approval? Price has probably skyrocketed since the last deal went through though, the current one isnt as desperate as the last sell out. I hope not at least..

Thanks @guerney but no thanks.. Rather than continue spending more and more without making any actual progress i think now its time to use what i have and replace with better when/if it fails, all i need is the 1 button interface with indicator switching, (more than 1 button..) and i can live...

cheers @guerney what i want is an easy to operate indicator switch and Stoopidly thought something sold as an aftermarket motorcycle spare part would at least be weatherproof?? silly me.. However a little ebay exploring and 'real' 2nd use motorcycle left side switchgear sell for a tenner +pnp...

Hmm perhaps the pop bottle variant can be saved for a very dry summer.. Cheapo P/R clips and salvaged full front mud guard from the rusty bottom of the garden bike it is..

Postie has delivered the last few bits n bobs and well im somewhat disappointed in the quality of some of the ultra cheap components i selected. primarily these handlebar buttons.. buttons1 and button2 Both will let any water in and are fitted with wires so thin.. if wired upto turn on...

Bagsy the next 2l pet or hdpe bottle, thanks for the template.. Though i may give @Raboa s suggestion a go first using non sports bike p clips however ;) as i have a mudguard that matches the one bodged on the rear already.. the lack of mounting h/w stumped me this afternoon. damn n blast U...

My essence is that of a cheap ol git so of course I would rather not buy one :) As long as its functional, if spending a couple of pints worth keeps me a tad dryer and keeps mud off my goggles..(i need em on the rd @soundwave i weep otherwise) then spend i shall.. Just wanted confirmation its...

Great looking bike, but whats the splash back like at 10mph through 3-4inches of water/mud? Granted £8 is better than 9.99 but its still just a thin sheet of whats filling my recycle bin, The proguard maxi in your 2nd link is more in line with my blind expectations.. perhaps i should have...
