New years day, and what a fab day after all the wet doom and gloom. An earlyish night left the other half and myself, up pretty early and able to take advantage of the wall to wall sun, so stuck my KTM Bosch battery and my wifes Juicy Bike conversion battery on charge, while I headed up the road...

.....and there I was , reading the whole of this war-and-peace saga, hoping to find out just how good (or bad ) was the bike alarm and pager.... ...I want my money back.....but 2013 looks to be spicey

maybe they have all inexpensively flown with their 7kg bikes for warm weather training in the Canaries???

that tether line to the lamp post doesn't look too secure....but maybe you have something through the rear wheel too??? I think that I would opt for something like this Abus Granit Xplus Lock Review - BikeRadar the rule of thumb is to spend 10% of the bike...

I did consider all the other brands Ian, but the KTM had better kit for the price, and if I was going to have to buy mail order from the UK, then a I may as well do the same from Europe at a good exchange rate... and I was finally convinced by the price offered and the speed of contact by...

Ian...my wife has a Garry Fisher with a front hub Juicy Bike conversion, plus throttle, and it has been excellent...she now very rarely uses the throttle as the cadence sensor in the pedelec provides just enough extra oomph, BUT it is nothing like as user friendly as the Bosch torque sensor...

no throttle on my new KTM Race Ian....no need for one, as its just a case of clicking the left hand remote control to Turbo and hang on tight, as the first pedal stroke is a powerful one cheers barryc

the chain wear measuring tool that I have been using for years is a Rohloff Caliber...excellent kit CALIBER 2: www.rohloff.de cheers barryc

that sounds pretty good Dave, but what is the delivery time??

No, I didn't choose the 29er, as, after reviewing the online comments, it just confirmed that I am not a potential down-hill rough stuff champ., nor (as far as I know) "a tragic attention seeking old man", although the last bit might be getting a bit close for comfort....as far as I can see, the...

nice one Jerry.... your experiences show how a bit of exercise and fresh air, plus a traffic free commute can really be a daily delight... and electric assist can ease a doubting person into the joys of 2 wheels cheers barryc.

an interesting piece from the Independant today The cycle path to happiness - Features - Health & Families - The Independent confirms what we already knew

your so right Robf.....I live in hope that just reading this stuff, one day I will awake to a bright new dawn where amps/volts and watts will light that bulb above my head... or alternatively, accept the conclusions arrived at by the latest A to B mag, e.g "that blokes on websites that revel in...

you are spoilt for choice Barclay, and you should be relieved that Eddie is in India everybody has their own personal axe to grind, and wishes for their own personal preference to rise to the top....which really just reflects our individuality and differing needs, as well as the brain fag and...

looks like they are a rip off copy of these.... Wiggle | Ergon GP3 (Formerly GR2) Handlebar Grips | Bar Grips

Just realised............no Eddie (thanks Indalo) ....so in his much missed absence, I would say that you make sure that you get yourself a 2013 jobbie Barclay, as technology seems to move on

In the light of having just done 35miles on my new KTM KTM Macina Race 26” – 9 XT BOSCH anthrazit 2013 | Radsport Brucki and the display still showing range of 60 miles, I can thoroughly recommend this machine... the secret must be the new Bosch 11ah battery, as it is still on 4 of its 5 bars...

AND Dave Brubeck on the piano....................

...........or maybe she was talking about the KTM Machina Race, in relation to the Haibike Enduro.....!

the 'thing' that I remember about Mandy R-D., was that she was supposed to be..."twice as nice, for half the price"....but maybe that is just my memory!
