Err, I said I had just bought three of them. The company has just emailed me to say that they are no longer allowed to ship "bladed products" to residential addresses, only business addresses! I have contacted my neighbour and asked if I can use his address as he runs a building services...

Before "SL" was a thing I had a carbon fibre Focus Jam2 with a Shimano e8000 motor and a 378 whr battery. It weighed 20.4kg (45 lbs, just like yours). The e8000 delivered 70Nm of torque, not the 60Nm or less that some SLs deliver. I sold it after 3200 trouble-free miles and bought a Merida...

The Wolverine folding saw here is excellent. I first bought this at what, after use, I thought was the fantastic price of £10. Here for the sale price of £3.95. I just bought three of them. I use them as slashers as well as saws, so I'm pretty hard on them...

According to the date on the box, it's 81 years old!

I believe that he refuses to fix Shimano motors because the circuit board is neither a serviceable nor replaceable item. It can fail at any time and he got fed up of customers complaining when the board failed a few weeks after he serviced the motor. It was costing him too much in money and...

Step Number One was to buy a branded bike from a reputable supplier. Step Number Two was not to dick about with faster chargers. Step Number Three was not to dick about with spoofing the motor or software to get a faster assist speed. After that I'm in the lap of the Gods. :unsure: The only...

In case you don't get the info you need, I would suggest you try Halfords. They have a huge range of paint colours and finishes and you will find something that is close enough to live with, if not a perfect match. Also hobby shops, nail varnish counters etc. I have had mixed success. An...

Yes, I should have said where it was. The whole area was coal mining. At one time you could count dozens of coal mines, now all gone. The last mine with the colliery hoist still in position, although it closed more than 20 years ago, was at Old Clipstone. The legacy is sparse. The slag heaps...

Ah yes, of course! Very droll. :D

Nice pics, good location. :) Here's mine. I made it in 1970, when I was a 2nd year mechanical engineering apprentice. So that makes it 53 years old. The two little holes in the handle area are where the brass rivets securing my name plate weakened and the plate disappeared. Original paint...

It has just occurred to me that I may have misunderstood your note. I can understand Ibuprofen and Volterol (completely different meds) when ingested may affect you and might mix badly with your other meds. But I was under the impression that applied to the skin they are much less reactive and...

Bummer! Healing vibes to you!

It's not as though it's your fault they don't have a frame available is it? If they have bikes in stock, they have a frame available, they should strip it and give it to you.

I hear you! Arthritic knees here too. The emtb is a life saver and no mistake, but to make absolutely certain, I use Volterol gel 2.32% on my knees at least 30 mins before riding, lasts for hours. Rub it in all round, start with a half inch diameter globule, shouldn't need more. Takes about...

Wet the bike with water from a watering can. I use water from the rainwater butt. Use a brush and a bucket of hot soapy water. I use cheap car wash shampoo (no wax). I scrub the tyres with a wooden backed bristle brush. I use Hope's Sh1t Shifter as a degreaser for the mech and ring if required...

Seeing as many of you like the "hand", here is one I made earlier (about six years ago). There are some high-priced bikes hanging from the hand (or so we thought of as high-priced at the time). Mine is hanging from the thumb and it was a Norco Sight 1. It cost me what I thought was a fortune...

Puddle in English = Pfütze in German. As in "a puddle of rainwater" = eine Pfütze Regenwasser But I believe that I may have missed your no doubt humorous point. :unsure:

No use for me as I live in the UK. But for those in the area, this looks like a once in a generation chance to make a lasting difference for you and those that follow. Once you get one area under use and the sky doesn't fall in, it can be used as an example to get other areas adopted. Get...

For years, I have been uploading my bike photos and details to Immobilise, the UK National property Register. (It's free!) https://www.immobilise.com/ Quick to set up, quick to edit. And you can upload anything, not just bikes.
