    Carrera crossfire died after 2 days [emoji22]

    “For the want of a nail the shoe was lost, For the want of a shoe the horse was lost, For the want of a horse the rider was lost, For the want of a rider the battle was lost, For the want of a battle the kingdom was lost, And all for the want of a horseshoe-nail.” All that trouble fixed by a...

    I see your cheating then!

    Oh no! A pedaling peddler. :rolleyes:

    Why is that a problem? Just assume that we're all being watched, all of the time. Which, unless you pull the plug out of the wall, is pretty much the strength of it. :)

    Hi

    The V-Brakes were triple compound, 25% longer type. Pretty good kit. But, even so, their stopping distance was still considerably longer than disc brakes on the same bike. Otherwise they'd still be on it. :)

    Hi

    Just the one disc brake fitted for the second part of the brake test video. About 3 to 4 feet difference in the dry. Enough to avoid hitting something.

    Hi

    About 3-4 ft @ 20 mph. Not an unrealistic speed on any ebike. :)

    You see, that's what I have a problem with. Being restricted in discussion matter and topic. It makes the place a kindergarten. :rolleyes:

    Well, they don't seem to be having a problem talking about them right now. :) https://www.facebook.com/groups/1744092975911526/

    Facebook.. I can never work out why people gets lots of 'likes' for a still pic, but often zero likes for an informative video. Then there's the fb admins who assume that they're the referee of all things. They have a tendency to lock and close threads that are being robustly discussed. I...

    All of your pics look good Ed, with or without accessories. :p I must take my rear mudhugger off and make a no mudguard video soon. It's been so effective, I want to see what it's like without one. I fear that it won't go well. :)

    Some work is just for the good and benefit of yourself and others. I've been working, snipping overgrown dog trails in our area. Unpaid of course. DIY is sometimes easier than just living with it.

    Almost immaculate. :) T'is a shame what they did to your trails though Ed.

    They probably will snap as some are made of a brittle type of plastic. Mine did. I've cable tied the remainder of one onto the front wheel. It works. :) Mudhuggers can be bent almost in two and not snap, they're made of a flexible type of rubberised plastic.

    Camera's

    4k resolution uses massive amounts of data, saps battery life and takes forever to convert or upload / download. I'm using 2k on a 30" screen, which is plenty at that size. On a bike, as a traffic cam, it's a bit overkill. However, if you're into video editing and movie making, it might be worth...

    I'm not buying it guys. Correctly fitted, fit for purpose mudguards are no real inconvenience. The evidence shows that Eddie has cleared more MTB trails than most of us put together. He went berserk when those trails were wrecked and mud was then churned up and clearly evident. Obviously knowing...

    Camera's

    I wouldn't pay an excessive amount for a bike cam (£100 max for me). You've all seen my vids and, as d8veh mentioned, youtube does a max of 1080p resolution. 30 fps (frames per second) is plenty for smooth play to the human eye. My current bike cams cost 80 quid when new out. They went down to...

    Is there an argument against keeping yourself, your bike, including the electrical components, a bit drier and a bit less mud spattered? What's the argument? Aesthetics? When I go cross country, I don't expect to stay clean or dry. I'd just rather not get soaked to the bone with a dripping wet...
