Thanks for the heads up.
Birthday in a couple of weeks , that's one present sorted ! Ordered direct from the states I believe, free shipping ... £36 including a battery, shipped.. code FLEX10 worked.

Edit Typical ... they appear to have a Black Friday sale with 20% off ... code BF20 should work.

There's a known issue with the T5 2ltr TDI 180HP engines around that time, I think it was something to do with high oil use due to a fault with cooler, which often appears after 45,000 miles. We had a deposit on one a few years ago and walked after some research. We ended up with a 2013 140HP versi...

Good work bud !

Cheers for the company guys :-bd Godivatrailrider good luck with your son, my son has managed to lose a fair bit since the summer and apparently is now at 12stone at 16yo, large frame like me. Nearly killed me for a while trying to go to the village gym with him as I'm just not so physically able a...

last year was a stonking year on the bike, topping just over 6000 miles.

if more riding means a bit of weight loss, all good then.

WOW !!! I'm really pleased with my 2040 Shropshire miles ... 3 times that is incredible

As ever , weight sneaks up over winter ... and doesn't seem to drop much in the summer Hit a bit of a high after Christmas :oops: 15st 10.5lb /220 lb / 100kg :sad: Haven't had any alcohol so far this year, though might be forced into having one tonight, will try to swerve it..

I went to that Japanese import site out of idle curiosity, and now have a hankering for a Honda C50. I'm with you! I've been noodling with that hankering for a while. I have a full bike licence, had various big bike, GT750, GSX750F, RF900, Buell.....but quite fancy a little scooter .... might be us...

Latest update on the Smartshift..... from the Alpkit designer... "I have just had the first draft of a compatible frame drawings through from our factory today, they’re not 100% so I’ve gone back with revisions. The Smart shift system adds £550 to the cost of the pinion system. " Now I hav...

I've driven the 2.5 176bhp Sportline for 5 years, then got the 180bhp 2.0L sportline T5.1 and had that 9 years. Neither gave many issues, were a pleasure to drive. Avoid the 180 biturbo engine. Ok up to 100k then they seem to start drinking oil and that's going to get very expensive to fix. I got ri...

HNY. As ever get some weight off. I've snuck back up again ... not happy. Ride 2024 miles. This was a great target in 2023 ( I did 2040 in the end, 2023 wasn't a good year for weather) about 40 miles a week which for me in south Shropshire is a perfect baseline. Start my stretching regimen again. WR...

Nothing new to offer ... I ride a 29+ Rooster for most of by bikepacking and it's superb. But I like a rigid bike. The Jones spaceframe/truss fork combo has had a number of iterations... 29 ( looks too skinny to me), 29 rear, 3" fat front ( looks odder but work pretty well, but that front is he...

Thought it was going to heavy but it's not, quite Wodehouse in places.

dropped a 't' .... not my bag tbh

It was one of you on here (who are you?) who brought Kae Tempest to my attention a couple of years ago. "Being Kae Tempest" is on BBC iPlayer now, have just started watching it. I saw that on Red Bull TV a while back, incredible surfing footage. The wave at Nazare is jaw-dropping. This fe...

Quality.

Anyone know if the frame mounting of the smart.shift unit is the same as the 'old' ones? Speaking to Alpkit just.... The Broken Road Pinion with Smart Shift is some way off as they think the gearbox may be slightly different, so a redesign, testing, fine tuning and production could be a while. I th...

Have you tried switching it off and back on again? ; ) Too much Guinness, Sir? *grins* In all honesty...it's more likely your device and its updates munging things than the website code. Reboot it. Browser caches also suck - as per PaulB2's comment, dump your caches; I say dump them often. Oh yeah ...

... only on here... I have no cursor. It's ok until I make a (frequent) mistake... any ideas how to get it back?
