I've been considering a trike with full suspension, and I love the weather protection of a full fairing so likewise the thought is, why not go the whole hog and buy a velomobile. It could possibly sit on the driveway or in the front garden with a ground anchor to secure it. OTOH there's the cost and...

If you want good punct*re protection and a good width at a reasonable price then 40mm Marathon greenguard is hard to beat. Perhaps, but if the design of the 20" (406?) tyre is like the 622 then the best compromise for on-road use is probably the 37mm See:- https://www.bicyclerollingresistance....

....... The EU is an inward looking protectionist club with a political price for membership. Protectionist I'll agree without question it's the whole idea of a 'club' Inward looking and with political price for membership needs explaining. Inward looking and protectionist are tautological. Politic...

I just love the way so many Remainers characterise Leavers. In reality that and the ludicrous assertions of Jo Swinson says shedloads about them. Al The Remainers didn't, it was the LSE. It also won't characterise individual Leavers. And it doesn't make you a "settler", necessarily. What ...

I prefer Marathon GG to M+ because they are a lot easier to fit and remove,

Maxxis DTH is a high spec tyre which I find to be light and comfortable. I found a bit difference in feel between the 38mm and 49mm versions. The narrower felt much quicker with less lateral scrub.

If you are 6'1" then a Metabikes should be straight forward to ride. There's a very wide range of adjustment on the seat. But it's a very rigid frame with no suspension but will take wider tyres. It's one of the top climbers. I had the 20/26 version,

Gotta love a LWB! Why did you change to the 20" front wheel? When you said they no longer make them I had to take a look at the Rans site to see what they do still make and I see two Stratus models still listed, the XP and the LE. Are they set for the chop? Having the 20" wheel reduces tr...

I like the Twizy, but I need to be able to carry an electric wheelchair, which limits the size of a car that I can have. The other thing that was an issue was battery cost.I pay less on fuel for my small KIa, than I was being asked for battery hire for the Twizy I've given serious thought to the Tw...

My RANS Stratus XP with Windwrap WERX fairing and 20" front wheel fitted to the 26" fork.The fairing improves the aerodynamics and keeps the rain and wind off. The power side of the chain runs straight from ring to sprocket, the bottom bracket is well braced and the rear end has lateral st...

Yes, I got caught in rain wearing a BAM top whilst touring in Holland in June and it certainly held a lot of water and I got very cold. Nice to wear in the dry though.
