On your Bike

[mickthemaverick]

New to the Gallery at No5....but its undoubtedly very easy for other members to add to the gallery with No 6...No7...No 8...etc.

Not Easy for me, I no longer have a bike!! (SWMBO banned two wheeled vehicles of any sort following my accident! )

Your pal in Paggers has a few. Photograph one next to a strut in a spring compressor next time you visit That would do nicely sir.

Two mountain bikes adding to the clutter in my spare room.
Eldest son brought them to replace youngest son's stolen ones but he has already replaced them, so I'll be stuck with them for the rest of the year I expect.

Steve's contributionfor No7 was abstract in original form, just tweaked a little more abstractness and colour for the gallery

My Wife's bike with the S Lanarkshire country side behind (Quothquan Law just over the bars, and Coulter fell in the background).

I have an (almost identical) bike as well - except I have recently converted hers to electric - you can see the battery on the rack. It's a rear drive motor, with pedal rotation sensor. Road legal as the motor is 250W nominal, but it puts out a lot more than that peak - as it's pedal sensor the motor engages if the pedals are rotating, even if there is no actual drive through the chain, so it will drive itself effectively if you pedal 'ight' - and on full boost mode it will climb the hill from our house (about 1:12) at 15mph with me on board on its own Next task is to increase the size of the chain ring as it's a bit low geared for road riding, and reduce the crank length as the 175 fitted is too long for her. This almost certainly means fitting a new bottom bracket as well, since the once on there is not a std square taper (thanks SRAM!).

That's excellent Richard, a bit of detail of how and the bits and pieces sourced and needed would make interesting reading for viewers of the thread, but yes excellent achievement and it looks the part. Already edited it into the gallery viewtopic.php?p=806804#p806804

Example of a start to finish conversion in a 6 minute video. Details/costs of kit at the end. No speaking, mute the repetitive soundtrack if preferred, all steps outlined by wording on the screen.

Clearly a man after my own heart with function over finesse but even I would have used black cable ties!!

Another one for the gallery Neil

Taken in one of the most quaintly named villages in Buckinghamshire...

It is a lovely little spot and only just in Bucks... Just down the road is the Bedfordshire border...

My other bike, and the S Lanarkshire countryside, and an excess of HiViz for Parkrun marshalling! Essential midge protection in waiting on the saddle
