The 911 might have whistles the cayman isnt spec'd with but the foundations are the same. Maybe a fairer example is the cost of the coloured seat belts on the same model. I was into my porsches owned 4 of them its why I used the example. I met people at People Manthey (I had beers with Olaf...

Things are priced to what the market will bare. A cayman costs the same to make as 911 but the prices are set to give an impression of difference to what the market will bare. I knew a salesman who'd base estimates purely off of where the customer lived nothing to do with costs. Happens all the...

I'm the other end I like flats (started with BMX) I've used spd's and would like to run them again but found the twisting or up pull motion aggravates my knee. Its worth mentioning just like SPD's a good pair of shoes goes along way to how flats feel. Like most I started with using trainers/van...

Doesn't need sponsors just pop a lump of coal in his shorts and at the bottom he'll have a diamond ?

Rob 'fog horn' Warner has a channel fun to watch but he's so loud you have to keep adjusting the sound levels. I was watching his video last night, wasn't quite quick enough when he went full howler monkey and got moaned at by the misses :rolleyes...

I fall into the category "More dairy than legend" ?

I ride for fun and my own enjoyment. I found trying to be the 'best' sucks the enjoyment out of things for me. "Race car driving is like sex. All guys think they're good at it. Not necessarily true." -Jay Leno

any lower and it'll be a scooter ?

This is that Rob Warner video with the chain snap.

Has someone made a list of odd sized Emtb's? For example very tall riders or very short, suitable for heavy riders etc i.e. all the stuff that fall out of the average industry sizes or manufactures like trek/specialized who cater to wider markets in general? for example; Powerfly FS 4 500 - Max...

My son is just tall enough for one of these...

I think it comes down to which companies have the buying power to command stock or had their orders in earliest. The rest are just fighting for scraps. I think you'll see a bike at a slightly increase price, low volume of stock and spun together from parts they could sauce mostly to keep their...

Its a sacrificial part added to a more expensive part. Take the battery secured to the frame via a tapped tread in the frame if you strip the thread you will need to tap a larger hole and use a larger bolt or add a coil. This may or may not be possible and couldn't be done more than a hand fill...

These could be a solution They use them in cars loads anywhere a failure would be common or expensive.

Option to lock it. I dont think it'll stop street thieves a simple to screw driver to bust the whole lock (but remember when satnavs/radios were always stolen?). Its more to deter (errm how to say politely) dodgy acquaintances or shops from swapping their duff battery for yours. Of coarse this...

I remember working at Bonthrone bikes around 2000/1. I used to just be a junior mechanic mostly assembling bikes to be shipped out. Anyway the I remember having a peak at the mark-up on the bikes when the manager wasn't looking some bikes 50-60% (I think the Marins/Gary fishers). It shocked...

I think like most things in life they cater from an average. I know a friend who is 6'4" is saved up to buy this sports car but he'd only fit in it with the roof down he was truly crushed (no pun) made me thankful for being average. I'm also sympathetic to heavy riders I pipped at 110kg at my...

I will now have to describe my marital life as either acoustic, electric or triangle (mostly triangle). "Honey, would you like to do it acoustic tonight.."

I have a hope hub, I slow pedal up to people gives them a gentle tick tick reminder I'm there, or if I think they are a startle risk (horses/dogs) I'll pedal enough so there's no clicking with a sniff or a cough to alert them, if they ignore me I loop a few back pedals and if they completely in...

Doesn't matter what they call it as long as you know that they are talking about. Mtb/emtb is fine to type (because lets face it its going to take me at least 3 goes to write acoustic before auto-correct can guess what I'm on about and its just a matter of time before it auto-corrects to...
