    charging from a 12v inverter - some details

    Thanks. I did wonder about that aspect. in reality I only plan to charge up during a lunch break, so the 50% level shouldn't typically be transgressed. Don't see my ride buddies eating pies for more than an hour. on the test run I wanted to see the limits. for my limited ambition it's already a...

    Does anyone use a car inverter to charge their battery on-the-go?

    https://www.emtbforums.com/community/threads/charging-from-a-12v-inverter-some-details.20268/ see above thread. I should probably have posted here, but this one was getting very mathematical. Just wanted to simply state what I have done and how well it works.

    charging from a 12v inverter - some details

    Hi All I've wondered for a while about charging the my Whyte E160 from a car battery via an inverter. I've seen a few posts discussing, but nothing really about whether it has been successful or not, except for those who are lucky enough to have full on RV set-ups. I just wanted to be able on...

    An E-160s v1 - should i do it!?

    Well you don't pay an energy penalty for carrying the extra travel back up the hill. I mostly ride Forest of Dean which is similar to Surrey Hills and 160 is fine - even a bit over-biked. On the S spec I have to say the basic Zeb fork has been brilliant. I just added one token. The drivetrain...

    One year on...

    i invisi-framed the BB but it is no match for rock strikes. Went for the rockguarz in the end. Seems effective, but it ain't pretty:( I've been sticking a bit more air in the shock over the last few weeks, in an attempt to gain a few mm, but the sag stays the same no matter what the pressure...

    Mobile Charging Solution

    Hi only a year late to the party, but did anyone try any of the above? I just bought a 300w pure sine wave innverter. i thought it was going to be a bit on the limit for the Bosch 230V x 1,5A charger. When it arrived the literature was suggesting having a power output 3 x what you believe you...

    Just bought the Thule XT Easyfold for my Sportage and Ebike - Brilliant! [video]

    actually neither. I've never carried bikes on the roof, because if I did I know I would forget about them at the wrong time. I have a friend who used to race back in the 70s with his brother. they were coming back from a race with their bikes upside down on the homemade roof rack of their...

    Cold feet

    these days I swap pedals for cold rides and wear shimano mw goretex. had them decades and they are great. However, if you really want to stick to flats I can propose a trick i picked up from Mr Steve Jones back in the day. Wellies. they are ace and grippy on flats. You can wear loads of socks...
