Magishine monteer on the bars. Great light let down by a cable that melts where it enters the lamp unit. Have had to shorten the cable and re-solder it a couple of times now as the outer gets hot and goes brittle which falls off and causes intermittent shorting. After years of a helmet mounted...

Try this. Rotate the lever on bars so the reservoir is horizontal. Remeve cap and screw in the fluid bleed cup. Pour in some fluid and remove the pin from the cup. Then use a stro g rubber band or a cable tie to pull the lever to the bars. Then go to bed. In the morning remove in reverse order...

I had to change this cable. And yes you do need to cut the end off the brake hose to get the cable gland off in order to thread the new cable through first. Maker sure you have a new olive and barb before starting. It's a right pita job. I also ended up dropping forks and removing battery to...

I'd happliy host a weekend of camping here on my farm in the middle of the Black Mountains with some tours of the best emtb rides if there was enough interest.

Cracking ride this evening in the northern Blacks. Bit warm in valley but lovely breeze up high. Trails running mint

Done them both several times on both analogue and Ebikes. Both will require some hike abike unless you are Danny Mac. Snowdon is also under volutary restriction in summer so you either have to ride it very early doors or late evening or wate till autumn. Most of it is not that hard to be fair...

Broken collarbone 9 weeks before a trip tothe Alps. Treated conservatively and managed to make and enjoy the trip. Last October managed to wash out at speed on a carpet of acorns and fractured my thumb. Had to have 2 pins inserted while it healed, which it did quite quickly. Then fell off and...

And do not unfer estimate the power of aesthetics. The form factor of the 800wh avinox battery vs the bosch one is so much more pleasing on the eye. And looks play a real role in the sale of high end bikes Edit. Beaten to it by seconds lol

Nice to see the jump footage was filmed about 3 miles from me! Wonder when that was?

Interesting. I have always suffered much higher battery consumption that any of the others I ride with, even those of similar size (person and battery). I just changed out the standard 38 ring for a 36 and for the first ride ever I came back with more battery than the others. It also felt better...

Out today The steaks were high

Had a great group ride round the central Bannau the other evening. Absolutely perfect conditions...

I had one for years and would say it is not possible to have a row of rear seats and leave wheels on the bike. Was possible in my mates lwb but not my swb. I ended up with just a single seat in the back so the bikes would fit up the side of it. Efectively a 3 seater van. My Sprinter doesn#t have...

Also on my 4 in about a year and a half. I am now buying 2 packs of Deore RDs for £27 each so as to always have a spare in the riding pack. Latest one went last week.
