I read somewhere, manufacturers store them (and ship them out) with a 40%-50% charge.

Is this latest one more of a liar than they usually are?

Fogstar wholesale is a UK seller selling genuine cells as are Wholesale 18650.UK. Both much cheaper then Nkon, Fogstar get good reviews for CS on vape sites. Cheers yes theirs are cheap. I had some legit AW IMR used in an ecig and they typically lasted 2 days, then they faded and started lasting 1 ...

OK cheers folks. What happens if you flip the wheel? Is the discrepancy reversed. It would be but I can't because it's got a disc brake. I was not suggesting it as a solution, rather as a means of diagnosis. No my apologies, I was being dumb thinking it just won't fit swapped around, when it will. ...

OK cheers folks.

STOP! Hold it right there 0.4mm you say? :shock: Serious AR,OC disorder alert :? . I was measuring it with individual sheets of paper, then measuring that with digital calipers :P Interesting fact: One sheet of normal printer paper is 0.1mm thick. I tightened them a little bit/backed off and it eve...

Assuming the spoke thread is the same on spokes across different brands and you have 32 spokes, let's say a wheel is already fully built and you want to pull the wheel to one side only a tiny amount (0.4mm in this case) to get it central, how much of a turn does each nipple need to do that? 1/16th? ...

Cheers tim-b it's appreciated. "Batteries labelled as 8.4V are incorrectly labelled, This is the full charge Voltage of the battery and should read 7.5V - They are both the same battery" No wonder I can never find any if some places call them 8.4v and some call them 7.5v. It's like that bi...

From what I have read, bike thieves fall into two categories. Those who nick bikes and have no idea what they are...and those who are quite savvy about their trade and recognise quality. They steal because they know quality components can be stripped off the bike, whatever the name. The sad thing i...

There's only one place in the world I trust sells genuine 18650 batteries online and that's nkon.nl in the Netherlands. They don't sell these 8.4v packs. I don't know anywhere that does apart from China and eBay. From past experience, eBay is actually worse than China for this sort of thing. At leas...

Very funny dude:

Or... sit on the coat if you do

FWIW there is (IME) no such thing as a light that will survive being mounted there on a mudguardless bike. Any (even apparently small) amount of winter water/crud thrown off the road will cause the light to fail, because said water/crud is liable to be super-corrosive in the wintertime. cheers Got ...

Folks cheers after looking around I found those Cateye ones. £10 for the mount and £15 for the light, crazy prices to me since I am used to buying from China lol... but Cateye are Japanese and are almost a legendary name in cycling so hopefully it's a keeper, with no faffing about.

Biscuit tin demoted.
