    The end of BionX? - An interesting post on ES by Justin Lemire-Elmore

    I am not surprised that BionX have gone. My second ebike was a Rose bike with the BionX system and it proved to be a disaster. The bike itself was superb however I had repeated faults with the BionX system which led to the bike being returned to Germany several times to be put right - all at...

    Thule Bike Ramp

    I've got one. I think I used it once then realised I could load the bikes just as easily without it. Jim

    A random thread for things too unimportant for their own thread...

    That's not a confession - it's something to be proud of! I had to endure football matches as part of my long-forgotten occupation however I never went to one in my private life, even though, many years ago when Dunfermline won the Scottish cup, I lived within a stone's throw of the stadium. Jim

    I'm in an agricultural area so cow s**t is a fairly common hazard. Jim

    non pneumatic tyres - good investment?

    I think you have misunderstood rich_r's post - I'm sure no sarcasm was intended. Linear tubes ("sausage" if you like) are carried by several members, myself included, to make repairs on the road more quickly. Jim

    Dowsing for Water

    25 years ago, at our previous house with a large gravel parking area, we needed the South of Scotland Electricity Board to carry out out some upgrades. They accurately located the underground cable by dowsing using 2 lengths of fence wire bent at right angles. When we expressed our surprise at...

    Interesting holiday idea?

    This guy could probably do with a conversion kit at the very least; and why does he have a rucksack on his back when his shed is right behind him? Jim

    Central Scotland Dealer

    Edinburgh Cycle Company - I bought my first KTM there and was very pleased with the service. Unfortunately they were unable to supply the KTM's replacement which I bought over the phone from OnBike whom I can thoroughly recommend. I have had no trouble with the bike but am confident that if I...

    Happy new year :)

    All crank drive as far as I can see. Does this mean you have given up the Panasonic hub drive? If so this would be disappointing as I really like my EStreetP (not that I'm thinking about a replacement - yet....;)) Jim

    Removing real wheel from Carrera Crossfire E

    Have a look at Gaadi linear tubes. Several members, including me, carry them for just the scenario you describe. Jim

    Unwanted avatars

    Thanks Dave; I thought I'd seen the photo before. It doesn't explain why it appears as the avatar for every forum though :( Jim
