    Unwanted avatars

    Over the last two or three weeks, when I open the Pedelecs site from my bookmarks in Firefox, the top of the head of the person in the attached photo appears as the avatar for all forums. When I open any of the forums normal avatars appear. I have no idea who this individual is and the photo did...

    Very disappointing start....

    In the interests of accuracy (and being a pedant) I think it was Bambi's mum that was shot :) Jim

    Pet hates?

    Agreed. That was my era but I'm sure I didn't use "like" (not like that anyway) - I'm sure I had plenty other annoying habits though :oops: Jim

    Pet hates?

    The use of "parking up" instead of simply "parking". Likewise with "heading up" when used to describe "heading" an organisation or similar body. TV weather forecasters who continually insert "the course of" during their forecasts, e.g. during "the course of" the day/afternoon or whatever. I...

    Battery charging questions

    A couple of questions about battery charging: 1. Does it matter if there is a break in the battery charging period, or is it advisable to charge to full in one continuous charge? I usually do a continuous charge however on the odd occasion, a greater power decides that some sort of excursion...

    Looking for affordable step-through to commute up-hill

    Hi Linnea, If it's of any help to you, I live in Cupar and have a KTM EStreetP (hub motor and not step-through) which you would be more than welcome to try to help you decide what you want. It might be out of your price range but would give you an idea of what's available. St Andrews is on one...

    Brake pads

    A few weeks ago the front brake on my KTM started squealing and heavy braking didn't cure it. I gave the bike a good clean using Muc Off all over including brake discs and fittings. After a thorough rinse and dry the squeal had disappeared and has not returned. Jim

    Growbags or pots

    bike carriers

    I have used a Thule Europower tow-ball rack for several years and can recommend it. Before going down the tow-ball rack route I had intended to use a Hollywood 2-bike rear door type rack which I already owned for non-electric bike transport. I was a bit unsure about this so I contacted Hollywood...

    Self sealing inner tube saves the day :)

    I posted recently about a very similar incident involving punctures from hawthorn trimmings. Fortunately my tube was "slimed" so I made the 5 mile run home without having to tackle a repair with arthritic fingers in the encroaching darkness. It transpired that there were three separate punctures...

    Alien, Phylion battery connectors - Source?

    Just for info - I'm sure that's the bike Alien sold as the "Typhoon" model . I think all their bikes had "Synergie" on them. It was my first ebike, see pic Sorry I can't help with the battery. Jim
