Quite right i am trying to wangle a trip to Gairloch at the start of November , a Halloween party etc but bike would be coming as well. . Have a couple of concerts beforehand so may be pushing it but the wife is coming to one of them so fingers crossed.

You lads should start singing that Beach boys song Neil , I Get Around.

Take wheels off and battery out. I can lift up and do it but an extra hand ( the wife )is a good help to shut the clamp.

What ever is the cheapest within reason does for me.

I don't have in mine . Just a 8 mm allan bolt . Or am I wrong 🤔. Couldn't get pedal of 2 weeks ago to change chainring so took crank of instead . Edit Just read another post so I must have caps but obviously I've taken crank off with the caps on . So Does it matter leaving the caps in ????

All in all I've had a good innings. Few ribs 3 years ago was my worst injury that's not bad for all the years I've been at it . If I haven't got the hang of it by now I never will. Ebike was another learning curve I must admit.

Even riding with other folks more experienced helps. I ride with some folk their seat is way too low , and they motor up the hills in too high a gear . A lot of folk though they have cycled for many years soon find they are doing a lot more miles and technical stuff with a Ebike. Just the...

I've discovered in the past year or so that I don't need to go as fast as I used to like doing , and i still get the same buzz . Took a long time to discover that one out . I'm solo most of the time and go in strange places , it's too easy to crash.

155 hope cranks. I probably only strike on really uphill technical stuff to be honest . Air shock that came with bike , to be honest I don't play about with air pressure etc I'm easily pleased . Getting on in years but still loving it .

Said it before I have fell off ebike more in the first 6 months since I got Ebike than I had in over 30 years of Mtb . I changed to shorter cranks a few months ago not nearly so many pedal strikes. I'm over 15 stone so that doesn't help either.

Yes I notice if I try emailing pics the limit is easily reached. But no problem on what's app

Reminds me on the if it takes a fly a week to take Reminds me on the one about the Fly crossing the syrup tin .

Cheers mate

Can't help you there I'm afraid my posts are never what they should be.

Is that the Outdoorleisure map thingy your using Neil ?. I have Memory map your supposed to be able to track on that but I can't figure it out. Drummond uses Outdoor leisure and it looks like yours. Still getting out plenty I see , great stuff .

Exploring Clashindarroch woods today , big area. So many tracks you spend a lot of time checking where your going. Caravan Ben Fogle seemingly slept in when he visited Jake the recluse in his tv series., believe it if you like. A lot of the small paths we used won't be there much longer with...

Old story if I knew then what I know now the wee camper van would have been made a lot more bike friendly.

Getting to be the hardest part of my ride that. I take battery out but mostly I take wheels off and put it in van.

Be the houses of ill repute I imagine .

We could probably start a ugliest mudguard competition , there are some crackers out there .
