    I have had a Wisper for over 2 years now and it has always had a squeaky back brake, I have found it quite beneficial as it seems to work better than a bell for alerting pedestrians.

    It appears the Puch Pic-nic had the smaller 406 wheels due to it being a folder.

    converting old shopper bike (Puch Promenade)

    I agree if the tyre says 451 that is what it is, the same as vfr 400 says, I am just a bit surprised. Either way I look forward to seeing the conversion which I hope you will detail.

    converting old shopper bike (Puch Promenade)

    I had a Puch Pic-nic folder earlier in the year and that had the 406 tyres on it, as far as I know only the Raleigh 20s and its various incarnations had the larger 451 rims fitted which are nearly 2" bigger than the Puch wheels.

    Riding illegal bikes can lead to being charged with driving offences.

    If it had been a driver in a car with no licence, no insurance,no mot and no tax (which is effectively the same as riding a dongled/illegal ebike) who had killed a cyclist on an ebike, you would all be up in arms about it, hypocrisy seems rife here....

    Riding illegal bikes can lead to being charged with driving offences.

    Agreed, however the majority of the ones seem to revel in the fact they can do 30 mph on a cycle path as demonstrated by certain people on this website.

    Riding illegal bikes can lead to being charged with driving offences.

    In that case thousands of people are riding illegally, are you as liberal about thousands of drunk drivers?

    The Apprentice

    What is scary is the fact they are so clueless about everything, and as for the red bike hells bells no sane buyer from a bike chain would have ordered that, they obviously decided to be kind by pretending to order so there could be a show.
