    easy use roof carrier for ebikes - wait , yes weight is the issue

    I saw a new (ist) carrier + LIFTER - which elegantly lifts the ebike onto the roof for easy carriage, no power: uses a hydraulic cyclinder/spring. The damper/spring takes all the weight. BUT a carry + ebike could be 42kg (30 bike, 12 carrier) each side, that is a large mass/stress on one...

    How to prevent suffocating to death on (e)mtb?

    I think you are correct about allergies becoming an issue at any time in life. But you may be more at risk from a broken bone and a major bleed out than the insects.

    Levo Gen 2 Kenevo / Levo GEN 2 - not powering up?

    update.... Following the insulating of the wires the bike worked for a while; but now will not run further than 10 foot! It still turns on OK :) The motor shuts off within 10 foot then displays an "motor error". Motor sounds fine, I assumed was an electrical error, maybe a...

    Levo Gen 2 Kenevo / Levo GEN 2 - not powering up?

    Press the on button and you get just a brief red flash. Sometimes I could unplug the battery cable, plug back in - repeat a few times and it would work. This got worse over time, especially following its weekly WASH!? But now its NO GO! So I did some searching and everyone was suggesting a...

    cycling and aggressive dogs!

    When we go to Greece there can be several dogs roaming lose and these can be aggressive and chase cyclists. Also, we have experienced dogs jumping at us - NOT ON LEADS - whilst cycling on cycle tracks, we have both been knocked off; who likes irresponsible dog owners?! How to deter the dogs? I...

    Battery inside

    Garages without heating, like mine, temperatures will go very low then up as the sun hits the roof. Bad news for damp/condensation. Take your battery inside. In winter mine lives under the kitchen table (just about tolerable by the misses, only as its hard to see).

    Brand X Ascend WIRELESS dropper

    Nice idea, but longevity will be an issue (more places for water to penetrate). Just bought a replacement for my old cable dropper, £99 for a Fox 150mm, reduced for black friday at Wiggle: https://www.wiggle.com/p/fox-suspension-transfer-performance-elite-dropper-seatpost-721298816 Bargain :-)
