Re: Cateye cycle speedo/computer adds stealth miles overnight?
Thanks all
I did check the max speed and that was ok.
And if I remove the computer head unit and bring it upstairs to the kitchen or living room overnight - the mileage stays put everytime.

I've always suspected the relatively new (10 years) not so great big actually, Worcester Bosch boiler to be a ne'er do well sly and shifty sort, always trying its best to upset me it is, mainly in other less mysterious waysrareposter wrote: ↑9 Mar 2024, 3:52pm My guess is your great big oil-fired boiler (or some of the systems within it like a pump) are setting up magnetic fields and it's triggering the readout.

Cateye cycle speedo/computer adds stealth miles overnight?
I keep 3 bikes in a substantial stone built, strongly locked 'shed' that also houses my property's oil fired CH boiler and a washing machine. I'm sure the bikes appreciate the warmth and security.
One of the bikes has a Cateye Strada Slim wireless cycle computer. Some days/nights the odometer adds mileages to itself. Never subtracts. This will be anywhere between 1 mile to 20 miles - but mostly towards the smaller amounts. It doesn't happen every night.
Why?

Re: Tudor Sport Plusses - Recommended??
I wore them and the Tudor "longs" for a decade-ish from 1990. I liked them. Always worn with clip on braces. They got a bit saggy and heavy when wet and being a cotton/nylon mix took ages to dry out - but because they kept you warm, it wasn't an issue for me personally.
Then I started wearing just the "plusses" (new modern ones - but just the same as the older ones x 2 pairs), with long socks, again from around 2010 until 2019. That would have been during Autumn, Winter and Spring, cycling daily and averaging at least 800 miles per month in all weathers. I just liked them. I did buy a pair of Goretex over trousers - but hated them and the clammy legs and noise and general feeling over dressed discomfort. And preferred to ride with wet, slightly saggy, slightly heavier Tudors. Which wasn't really noticeable until I got off the bike, to be honest. The essential (for me) clip on braces made a huge positive difference in comfort and fit. I would imagine they'd feel noticeably Nora Batty saggy when wet without?
I had size Small.
Always wore with a pair of padded short liners - the type which came with some German "Gonso" Palermo ¾ length summer "plusses"
Personally, never had any issue with the quality and no problems with sewing etc - that would have been around 19,000 miles for the latest ones.
What size are you? Happy to post you a used pair of my Small to try out for a month or so?

Re: Should electric bikes go faster
Why do bicycles need more speed?
Motor traffic is dangerous enough driven at any speed without due attention, why add more danger with potentially faster bicycles? What's the point of travelling faster? It certainly cannot be safety can it?
The issue about e-assist helping to keep up on 'club runs' is just a personal me me me wanna be in a certain type of gang.
The very efficient bicycle (including limited e-assist) as transport AND enjoyment AND responsible citizenship, is difficult to undispute, isn't it?
WE all know the problem - and it ain't bicycles ridden at reasonable bicycle speeds

Re: Should electric bikes go faster
No, I wouldn't sign it either.
Assist up to 15.5mph is more than fine and dandy for little old me cycling on the flat.
One of my e-Bikes has a Bosch Performance Line CX 85Nm motor, the acceleration from standstill in all modes apart from Eco is scary and potential dangerous, just the lightest pressure on the pedals for just half a stroke and you can be a very long way 'up the road'. I've set up a custom motor profile to dial that acceleration right back when I just use it for on road riding.
I guess it's easy to understand why folks might be disappointed when the assist cuts out, having got to 15mph with barely any effort - and then boof! it's like hitting a wall. But presumably they'd feel the same annoyance if the limit was 20mph?

Re: Thru axle wheel not wanting to drop out - SORTED
Totally agree, but to give the retailer their due, they did sort it pronto and amicably once it was brought to their attention and I was able to deal with the same reasonable person.PH wrote: ↑5 Jan 2024, 2:07pm Good result, but they look so significantly different, that IMO it ought to have been picked up long before it got to you. The fork manufacturer's quality control, bike assembly QC, and our last line of defence the PDI from the retailer, all seem to have either missed it or not cared.
Compare that to the 4 x £2000+ e-bikes which all had to be returned to Wiggle and eventually refunded AND the £2200 e-bike form Halfords that was refunded after a 'mechanic' damaged components whilst undertaking a 'repair' with the wrong replacement item. In those instances I had to 'deal with' bicycle ignorant people in remote Customer Care departments and continuously quoting the Consumers Rights Act 2015 at them, before any thing satisfactory occurred.
I'll happily deal with Freeborn Bikes again
