    E-bike rider insurance & e-bike insurance views are appreciated

    I switched my house insurance to Bradford & Bingley who cover my ebike even when away from home, as a specified item.

    First confrontation.

    If electric bikes are cheating, then non electric cyclists are cheating by having gears, low rolling resistance tyres, lightweight frames... What exactly can it be cheating at?

    Winter Riding

    I don't put much faith in Hi-Viz clothing. Nowadays theres so much of it about, it tends to just blend in with the city background. I wear it regardless, but I never assume that I'm visible to anyone.

    Cleaning and detailing

    Well car detailing is the maticulous cleaning and polish/waxing of cars, including machine polishing. Perhaps the exact opposite of using that team of dodgy looking lads cleaning cars at what was once your local petrol station

    Front fork air pressure?

    Thanks for the link, which informs me the air pressures should be printed on the back of my forks. I shall have a look in the morning.

    Front fork air pressure?

    I can’t see me needing to adjust them often once I’ve got them set right, which kind of makes the shock pump a bit of a wasted tool once set. Unless they are known to lose pressure over time?

    Front fork air pressure?

    Whats the rule of thumb when setting the correct pressure in my Rox Shocks forks on my Cube Race ebike? Am I right in saying that when sat on the bike there should be about 30% travel? Ive just bought a Rock Shop High Pressure fork pump and noticed when fastening it to my fork valve the...

    Purchased a 2018 Cube Reaction Race 500

    I bought mine direct from Badass in Germany via their website. No issues supplying to UK. Easy to fit, easily removable and has totally transformed my ride as the 15mph cut off was really annoying me.

    Purchased a 2018 Cube Reaction Race 500

    I’m still happy with mine and I commute on it nearly every day. This bike is great for my shortish commute by road, but also great for going off road on my days off work. Would I buy it again - Yes. When I bought my 2018 model in October 2017 they had only just become available , but only in...

    Trek Powerfly 7 2018 hardtail

    Thats a great idea, only I don't like fish pie. It would have to be a tray from a lasagna, or chicken korma :D

    Trek Powerfly 7 2018 hardtail

    Nice bike. And that definitely looks like a Topeak rack.

    Purchased a 2018 Cube Reaction Race 500

    Im not sure if they appear on Cube website? I ended up fitting the SKS Beavertail mudguard to the rear of my Race 500 (Halfords £15) which fit perfect under my Topeak rack.
