    Spare Inner Tube Advice

    Just wanted to thank you for posting, I put an order in today. Your price was very good at £8.99 with free P&P. The tube was £4 more expensive elsewhere.

    I fully expect to be doing that as well! :eek::oops: So a robust mirror may be useful.

    Have I missed anything?

    Ah, so that's what you call a track pump. I saw one of those in Go Outdoors the other day. We have an inflatable Sevylor kayak and use a similar style pump to blow that up (different valve of course). No, hubby isn't a big lad, 5ft 8" and 12 stone in fact, so we're thinking 60psi should be OK...

    Have I missed anything?

    We are used to checking tyres regularly, and before every ride from when we rode motorbikes, where it's equally as important, but thanks for the heads up anyway. Not sure what a track pump is but with both bikes having schrader valves, we can pump them up with a car pump which has a gauge and...

    Have I missed anything?

    Just to complete this saga that I have subjected you all to (!!:rolleyes:), I have now had my first short ride on the Juicy Classic, with my husband on his Vita Uno-26. We rode up that 3 mile hill that I've been worried about and both bikes took it with no trouble at all. On Juicy Lucy I...

    Cycle Mirror

    Those look really neat ehomer but they would only be any good for hubby's flat handlebarred Vita Uno. I'll need more adjustment joints for my Juicy Classic and I'm hoping the recommended Mirrycle will do us both. Juicy have got back and their mirror is not convex so I'm going to leave that...

    Thanks for that, I'm sorry to read about your wife. I had an accident skiing and also lost confidence. Hope she's ok now.

    Cycle Mirror

    I have decided to buy just one Mirrycle mirror for hubby's straight handlebikes and check it out for mine when we get it. It's free P&P so no loss doing it that way. There is a decent video here about that mirror: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GGCEEIqJLM I have also made enquiries at Juicy...

    Cycle Mirror

    Thanks guys, I've added the Mirrycle to my ebay Watch list. Having looked at some more mirrors I appreciate what you are saying about the convex mirrors. Would that mirror suit both the Vite Uno/Kudos Cobra mtb, AND my dutch step through Juicy Classic do you think? I'm thinking specifically...

    Cycle Mirror

    Having had our first short ride on our new acquisitions we find the need for some cycle mirrors. It's mainly for pulling out for parked cars, but also to keep a check on whichever cyclist is behind the other. I have seen these on eBay...

    Hope you're not in a rush for them - they have to come from Hong Kong!

    Does spending £300 more make a difference?

    Good of you to take the trouble Bob. I hope Jefner gives the bike a try, but even if not, someone up in Scotland will see it and fall in love with it no doubt!

    Spare Inner Tube Advice

    Sounds like mending a puncture rather than changing the inner tube is the way to go of we possibly can get away with that. That's what we call the royal we in our house - it actually means hubby will mend the puncture, not me (cos i'm a mere girly). I'll carry a Gaadi tube as spare for if we...

    Spare Inner Tube Advice

    Is the need to remove the motor wheel in an emergency, the reason why the Gaadi seems so popular for ebike owners? There seems to be a trend!

    Have you ever used these VictoryV? Googling them, they are sold in Europe rather than the UK.

    Spare Inner Tube Advice

    We want to carry a spare 26" inner tube with us when we ride, in case of punctures. Are the slime self healing tubes worth getting? Are they less compact to carry? If not a slime tube, is there any make that is better than others? We currently have Kenda puncture resistant tyres on both bikes...
