Sounds good, I'd probably be doing the same but I'm running two sets of wheels & two cassettes ( different ratios ) Now I've put the second wheels on (off road tyres) the cassette has only 300 miles on it, the part worn chain won't do the new cassette any favours. I'm just trying to get the...

As in the title, my Bosch powered Cube has only covered 1400 miles, mostly on dry roads. I recently checked the chain and it's just worn enough to need replacing without changing the cassette. I went for a straight like for like swap (KMC 9 spd) but even after degreasing & re-oiling with light...

Liberal Fascism if you ask me,. What happened to the man who just wants to have fun Lights ! I don't go out in the dark Helmets ! Tell me to wear one & I'll tell you where to put it

I'm only guessing here but I think your getting bias answers. There's a mixed bag of members but maybe the regular reader is a leisure orientated bike technology enthusiast who likes to keep a eye on things. There's a lot of folks out there using there bikes as transport, they don't care about...

100% leisure :)

I also have barends fitted but I still have access to the inside of the bars. I fitted a zefal cyclop barend mirror with the first part of the bracket pointing down like this. Whilst riding it doesn't get in the way of my hand at all, when I put my bike away the mirror folds neatly under the...

I did consider getting my cycling jacket printed with "Cheating & loving it"

I always get mixed reviews although the unexpected "that's cheating" dost get my goat. These days I try very hard not to rise to the comments, after all they only ever come from those with limited imagination.

I think I heard what they thought they said but I'm not sure they said what I thought they meant, or something like it

Several things spring to mind here, first up is in all my years of collecting punctures, I've always been able to see what caused them. if your tyres go down quickly, you could be looking at a pinch puncture from bumping curbs or stones with to low a tyre pressure. Or do they go down slowly, I...

I'm still loving my Bosch powered Cube. I suppose all Bosch equipped bikes will perform pretty much the same. After my initial test ride I knew I wanted a Bosch motor so the decision on which one to buy was based on 1. Looks (I'll be seeing this bike every day, I needed to like how it...

If in doubt ask Sheldon Brown http://sheldonbrown.com/free-k7.html

I'd say NO as that's a constant current power supply you have there, designed to drive LED lighting. A lipo charger monitors the state of the battery and reduces the charge current the nearer the battery gets to full.

I had the same problem and went for 3" mtb riser handlebars & fitted a short reach stem

On the iplayer or BBC's website. Left me speechless.

It also has cleaner lines from the down tube to the bottom bracket. That's the one & only thing about my Cube that disappoints me, I'm reluctant to ride over fallen trees and the like because the plastic motor case would be the first thing to get whacked :mad: And yes before you ask, fallen...

Horses for courses really. I've opted out of the helmet club but if I had to choose ? 1/. A military helmet, designed against impact from things traveling around 2000 mph. (Shrapnel from a dynamite explosion) 2/. A cycle helmet, designed against you traveling around 10 mph and hitting the ground.

Cheers Martin, now I know the difference I'm happy :)

I haven't seen it yet and would like to. I've been up & down your posts and can't find it :( A link would be nice (please)

Bulging cells = soon to be dead cells. I've been using RC lipos for years and when they puff up its a sign there on there last legs, chemically breaking down. Caused by either to high a discharge rate or physical damage. I'd send pictures to Hobbyking ASAP requesting a replacement and asking...
