Tim, if you are thinking about sending up a Pro Connect Xion 27 or 30G in the coming months, I'd certainly be interested in trying one. Jim

I've been using White Lightning on my Rose bike and on my wife's Freego Eagle since last summer and can't find fault with it. It may be that I lube more often than is strictly necessary so from that point of view it may be a bit more expensive. However doing it that way seems to keep things...

I can remember what a canoe is............:( Jim

Just logging in - Guinness for me :) Jim

I was once advised that the Chinese would manufacture to whatever quality the customer specified.

Rob - do you have a mirror fitted to the Rose and if so which one is it? I think I'm right in saying you have the same Ergon grips as fitted to mine. Jim

Made a far more successful adjustment today so it was obviously a case of getting used to the thing! It was fine on a 20 mile ride so I'm a lot happier with it. Jim

It's the Cycle Aware Reflex Helmet Mirror from Merlin Cycles. I can't really fault the mirror, it's more my inability to adjust it to my satisfaction. Off the bike I get it into what seems to be an ideal position, but once riding I find it's not quite right and it's almost impossible to tweak...

That one looks interesting. I'm trying to get used to one of the helmet-mounted mirrors at present but I'm not too happy with it. My bike is fitted with the Ergon GP3 grips which, as far as I can see, are not compatible with the usual bar-end type mirrors. The one shown might fit the bill...

Damn! I was hoping it was the Kalkhoff. I quite fancy one and was looking forward to your review if that had been your choice. Whatever it is, I hope you enjoy it!

Kalkhoff Pro Connect Xion X27?

Thanks for the pointer Rob. These sound ideal for carrying for emergency use and I mean to get them for my Rose and my wife's Freego Eagle. I appreciate Col's point above, however if the situation arose I think I would be ready to cut the punctured tube to get it out. I always have my...

Post changed, although I think you're being a bit paranoid.

You could try getting off on a technicality - I doubt if the address shown on the ticket exists ;)

I've been told I'm in my second childhood - does that count? (What was the question?)o_O Jim

I'm glad you got things sorted out. Looking forward to hearing how you get on with the bike. Hope you enjoy it. Jim

I posted a reply to this but for some reason it appeared under the "Cheating" thread - just in case anyone was confused..... I can only blame approaching senility or strong drink or a combination of both.:oops: Jim

Quite a lot of breaking wind involved :rolleyes:

Please don't waste money on something I'm sure you could do yourself. As you say everything is more or less assembled and what's left requires a minimum of technical knowledge and ability - this is coming from someone who is technically challenged!
