Several points here, there's no granny ring, i have a 7 speed hub with a 23t cog and a 41t chain-wheel. This setup has me using 1st to 3rd in the woods and up to 6th on open trails (10/12mph) 7th comes into its own on the open road. The change in gearing should bring the overall ratio down by...

Finally got out on my Agattu after removing the rack & mudguards and adding a pr of 2.1" smart sam tyres. The rain stopped, the sun came out and I was off. A mile or so of Tarmac before the trail starts and the smart sam tyres are rolling as freely as the city conti's I've just taken off ...

Why we are talking suspension forks, can anyone recommend a replacement set for my Agattu. The originals (900 miles) work OK but I'd like more travel now I'm only trail riding it. like me the trails I'm on are slow and lumpy, so I don't need high end forks. Like a lot of folks, I'd prefer not...

I'll second that, my post is an earlier model SP5? NCX I think. Brought from a German site, the best £35 cycling purchase I've made.

No longer for sale as I've put some knobblys on & stripped it back for off road riding ;o)

Like in an earlier post I to found the site by accident. The term "pedelec" meant nothing to me, all I knew was electric bikes and nothing of the different flavours. Now I own a Kalkhoff, I find people ask me about my "electric bike" and if I try to explain it's a "pedelec" they become...

No but seriously why not give it a go, we can all learn from your experiences. Just one question ? As your looking to spend big money £200 plus by the time you've paid taxes etc Why not just buy your friend a bike:D

Out of all my irons I use the weller's the most, 40watt for general wireing & lipos, 75watt when doing XT60's And the big ****** at the top 250watt is good for roof flashing & soldering patches on rusty petrol tanks :rolleyes:

I think its a flawed concept, it's not just the seat tube but the whole frame was not designed for those type of stresses. And then there's the law. CARRYING PEOPLE & THINGS According to the Road Traffic Act, two people are not allowed to ride a single bike (a ‘backie’ for instance, or carrying...

Sorry folks I forgot the £5.40 postage ! Still cheaper than the UK :cool:

A couple of thoughts ! Having spent the day with nothing better to do than surf the net for a pr of tyres for my Agattu to use off road (suffering from man flu lol) I've read a lot of reviews and puncture protection tubes don't do well. In the end I decided, the extra I would have spent on...

Your both spot on. My fault, I wasn't clear in my first post:o The post modern seatpost gave up or I should say seized up and I now use a vastly superior suntour scx post, one post swaped between two bikes as required. flecc has summed it up nicely, take off all that's not needed and fit some...

Thanks for all the responce, I didn't realise there's so many late nighters out there and here's me getting up at 5 o'clock :D Several points but the main one is not about buying a new bike but what to do with the one I've got already. It's not about more power, it's how it's delivered. Quite a...

Well D8veh, I know what your saying but I was asking what to do with my Agattu as no one wants to buy it. I'm down to £600 for a 900mile bike, that must be a fair price ?

OK so before the bike there's me :) Arthritis in my knees mean that I can't put all my weight into peddling, effectively that means I can't get off the saddle to peddle, I use the shortest mountain bike gears on steep hills and really spin those peddles, going up hill at 2 to 3 mph :o This...

Hi Kirstin I have a little used dynamite lipo wall charger, it came with a RC car. It's shown here on page 8 http://www.horizonhobby.com/pdf/VTR03000_Manual_EN.pdf I believe its the same as the IMAX B3 charger you've seen on the bay IMAX b3 | eBay As you can expect, to post this here in the UK...

My 10 pence worth I cycle for pleasure only these days, weather permitting I'll try to get 2 or more 20mile rides in a week in my hi-vis. There's one chap I see regularly (or not lol) going the other way on country roads with overhanging trees, he chooses to ride a mat black racer with black...

Just filled in the 50cycle form:rolleyes: What I'm seeing here are speed related views of riders mixing it with fast moving traffic. No one has mentioned shared cycle paths. Is it safe to let anyone ride these higher speed bikes (20mph has been suggested) We've all seen the mother with...

Looks a bit like one of these @ £1.64 add a couple of zip ties and your away:) TELESCOPIC INSPECTION MIRROR EXTENDING INSPECTION MIRROR SWIVEL POCKET CLIP NEW | eBay I was going to say "I may be large around the middle but I don't need a mirror to see my helmet just yet" but that would be bad...

There's no such thig as a fair deal when gambling, there will always be a lot more losers than winners. That's how bookies make a killing (living) You can't watch the tv anymore without multiple adds trying to brainwash folks into thinking gambling is a fun social thing. The reality is most...
