Great Pics Paul !
Tell me about your water bottle mod on the Torq Paul.
It look great and looks like you can drink it from the tube coming off the bottle whilst riding?

Oh im a bit thick Paul.
Penny dropped.
The other end does look like a water bottle with a tube on it though.
How loud is it?
Does it scare dogs and old people?

PS on image 0576, I can see your child trailer.

Its 115 db and scares the crap out of anything you use it on. I only use the bell when passing the elderly as I dont want a connery on my hands. If you are going to commute on busy roads and rip along at around 20mph you will need something better than a bell and this is perfect. you lift the red trigger up and put air in through a normal shrader valve with your pump.

Didnt notice the trailer in the background. I only picked it up last week. £38 on ebay from a guy round the corner. my daughter was very wary at first so i've put in the garden for her to get used to the idea. she uses it as a wendy house on wheels. am going to hook it up on Sat. its a tight fit on the torq with this model and there is not much clearance between the tyre and the front bar of the trailer. might be a tad better when I put the marathon on the back.

Just dont press the horn when she's asleep in the back of the trailer.
She'll wake up in the night screaming for the next 2 weeks. LOL

Forgot to ask Paul.
How many honks do you get before you have to recharge it with the pump?

It was average 50 for my Airzound, but I never kept count.

The rise in heart failure cases for your area should indicate how many.

WOW that really high. I thought the answer would be 4 or 6.
Its an efficient little unit then!

When they first arrived here they were £24.99, so any price below that is good now!

I cant remeber what it said on the box but i'm sure it was about 40. I've not put any air in since i got it and its still fine.

Just picked up a co2 pump too which is a nice gadget.

tyreinflators.co.uk - a fair bit cheaper than the likes of evans etc
