    The brilliant (IMHO) Lidl saddles are back.

    On sale from Thursday at a ridiculous £7.99. Personally I have always found the middle width one of the three..think it's the trekking..to be by far the most comfortable. Got one on all my bikes..and a spare. I know I wasn't alone on the forum when they last came up in finding them really...

    Waterproofing Bosch System

    Have you managed to make it stick and stay on really well over all the awkward shapes in heavy rain GLJ? I tried once but not too successful. Maybe it was just cheap and nasty cling film I used.

    Waterproofing Bosch System

    Inventive ideas required for temporarily waterproofing intuvia display, control button and battery if caught in an unexpected torrential downpour with no hope of shelter. Must be easy and light to pack up and carry in saddlebag / backpack :) That's today's challenge.

    Wanted - Bosch de-restricting box

    Amazon warehouse deals have the badass 3.4 for £101. Think you'll be lucky to find anyone getting rid of a used one. Good luck anyway.

    Hi Kat I read through your other thread and I imagine you are totally bewildered by all the well meant responses. In my opinion with electric bikes as a rule of thumb you do get what you pay for, and when on a very tight budget there will always be considerable compromises to be made regarding...

    Electric bike advice, concern re Bosch CX?

    Thanks for that. Still a problem then if, like me, you don't have the specialist tools or the confidence, to do the job. And, as I understand it, bosch dealers don't stock the bearings.

    Electric bike advice, concern re Bosch CX?

    It's interesting to hear your take on the bearing situation. KTM said the following in a different thread - "Independent E Bike Technician" a week or two ago Replacing the bearing is a VERY simple job that any competent bike shop should be able to do. I know a good number of eBike riders who...

    Bosch 400wh frame battery

    Can anyone confirm that active and performance line use the same battery exactly. I feel sure they do. Many are advertised as specifically for active or specifically for performance. Seems to me the only difference is that those advertised as active are grey and the performance anthracite.

    Brooks saddles

    Second that. Got them on all three of my bikes ... and a new spare !! Find the middle width one by far the best. Think it's called trekking.
