[quote][/quoteMy feelings as well when getting an Orbea Gain for help on some hills. I've countered this by keeping split records of every ride - miles with and without the motor. There's a case for saying that the non-motor miles are worth more than those done on the pre-motor bikes - they weren't ...

I went over the hill last wek - there's planning permission being sought for a land fill site with the proposed entrance opposite the Wiggin Tree or whatever its now called - 7 local parish councils are opposed to the planning permission but I expect it'll go through now the Gov are about to deregul...

I readily agree with Mick F regarding the merits of tackling (struggling) up hills under ones own power, and can understand his point of view, however for many people this is not attainable and so e-bikes fulfil a need. Speed or Effort though is relative , and probably more down to the limitations o...

I have a iphone 8 plus and use the quadlock system - both types :a handle bar mount on one cycle and the stem mount on another. The system works well. Also got a mount in the Campervan. You have a case that fits on to the back of the phone with the quad lock on it that clips into the mount, there is...

Thanks everyone the recommended seatpost seems to be the ideal solution to sort the problem - I will order one today.

I think mersetravel now have a "Walrus Card" that you load with a saveaway ticket that can be used on the ferry and not incur the high 'tourist fares of the ferries.

The Saveaway can be used on Trains buses and ferries for use after 0930 hrs

The box they come in should suffice - perhaps wrapped in a plastic bag -JIC - Works for me.

Just back - I would recommend the road the Seafood Temple is on - looked fine to me and fairly quiet. Just follow signs for ferry and go past the turn, follow the road and parking is on the right - you can't miss it.

Bad news is the Midges are out I'm afraid.

Thanks for the replies - my measurement of the Hewitt top tube is 580mm

so would only (perhaps) need a 10mm longer stem ?

Stu

Just wondering if anyone could give me some advise with regards sizing on a Salsa Vaya 3 - Firstly I have a 58cm Hewitt which fits fine and i love it - However I have been considering buying a Salsa Vaya 3 - I can get hold of a 57cm which according to Salsa are for people upto 185cm - I am 185 cm. s...

Thanks - the attachment was great

I may be getting a Surly Disc Trucker and was thinking of putting a slicker set of tyres on it - but I may wait and see how I get on with it first.

Thanks everyone - as usual a wonderful response

Thanks again

Stu

Oh - having read that a 1.75 and a 1 and 3/4 were different cycle tyre sizes I thought it was more complicated.

Thanks for such a speedy response

Cheers
