    Camera in your pocket thread.

    After reading through a recent thread in which the subject of dedicated cameras and smart phone cameras arose, and the interest in them, I figured that we could have a camera in your pocket thread to post up photos of anything and everything as you take them. I'm not really intending to add a...

    2016 What a sad year! R.I.P Billy the battery

    It is with great sorrow and sadness that I have to announce another death in 2016. After nearly three years of use, and many thousands of miles in my company, Billy the battery is sadly no more. Billy died in a tragic off road accident, in which he decided to play in the spokes of the front...

    Ignore function for threads

    I realise that we already have an ignore function to use in respect of blocking forum members, and any threads that might happen to start, but is there a way of blocking particular threads so that they don't show?

    Commuting to work on an EAPC. Sweat free and effortless!

    Who ever said that? :D It certainly wasn't my take on things at just after 7.00am this morning when it was raining hard, with wet long grass brushing along the side of my bare legs, and mud being flung everywhere. I'm enjoying every second of turning a two mile drive, into roughly a ten mile...

    Chasing elevation gain and gradient, plus general ride achievements.

    Motivation, goals and targets. First my ramblings... A post by Woodsy in relation to riding up Snowdon and a comment a short time ago by NealH in relation to elevation gain during my recent Swiss trip, has further fuelled my interest in elevation gain of rides. Since returning from...

    Just been put onto an interesting route app.

    Just a bit of fun I guess, but it adds a new dimension to a ride. :) I like that you can also move the view around by dragging the mouse. This one shows my very off piste route up to Birg. http://doarama.com/view/904919 .

    Aircraft memorabila

    Helping to clear out the belongs of someone who sadly recently passed away, I came across an article that left me saying wow! I'll let you read the inscription, but I have a question for those that might hold an interest in this kind of thing. The item which I presume is a copy of the handle...

    Getting ready for the 2016 Swiss Alps trip.

    Well that's the carry with me kit all sorted for this years Swiss trip. :) The next week of waiting to head off, is going to seem very long. :( Unless I decide to play with the gearing, the sprocket won't be required. I'll also only carry one of the chain lubes for each ride depending upon...

    Find me a Connex 15t sprocket

    Possibly one for you here SW. As you know, Connex is my brand of choice when it comes to front sprockets for the Bosch motor system, but I can't currently find any 15t sprockets. All the usual purchasing haunts in Germany seem to be out of stock. I've just bought two Connex 16t sprockets from...

    Tyre time again

    I figured that I had best get my backside into gear and get the Macina Race onto a tubeless set up. I've ordered up a set of Hutchinson Toro Enduro Tubeless Ready Hardskin RR Folding Tyres http://www.hutchinsontires.com/en/mtb/8-toro.html to replace the OE Schwalbe Rocket Rons. If the Toros...

    One bike, for one day.

    Just as a bit of fun and to lighten things up a bit, if you could choose just one bike to keep and ride for a day, what would it be? This was quite a tough one for me to answer, as there are actually two, but keeping to within my own rules for the thread, my one choice would be a B4 Bikes...

    Any forum members close to Sowerby Bridge

    Just a bit of a long shot with this one. I am thinking of bidding a pedal cycle on Ebay which is located at Sowerby Bridge, but the sale is collection only. Subject to me bidding and winning the cycle, are there any forum members close to the area, that might be willing to collect the bike...

    Forum Layout. Any thoughts on why I can only see the forum as laid out in the attached photos. I'm only guessing that this might have worked.

    Cleaning and detailing

    This is my basic guide to cleaning and detailing of an e-mtb. Feel free to add your own method, and any tips or tricks. After removal of the battery and console, and assuming that you have access to a hose pipe or portable 12volt washer, quickly rinse off any large lumps of mud etc, avoiding...
