cyclemeter

never faulted and it records everything i need automatically, then i just scroll through or check logs for days, weeks, months, years etc....i like to know what miles i do, and this is more reliable than bike computers, though i run it with one.

cant believe how poor the weather has been....still wont stop me riding this bike though

thanks for that

how do you find it on the iPhone battery? mapmyride using the built in gps kills my iPhone within about 3 hours.
I have been looking at the Biologic cases with the rechargeable battery built in to charge the iPhone as you use it

i tend to make sure i dont use the phone much if its a long ride, just the odd photo opportunites.

it used about 25% charge today on a 3.5hr ride....on the epic lake district route i used about 70% in 7hrs!

Decided to buy a 203mm disc conversion because I was bored....just waiting on rear adaptor to finish.

rear adaptor came yesterday so whacked the rear disc on and took the bike on a local 15 mile loop....

i always encourage people to try it out, though its better in the right area, like a beach or rock garden etc.

had about 6 or 7 people taking pics of it today and had a few chats at the local market on newcastles quayside...always gets huge interest.

older ones still fetch good money, but i sold my 2012 one for £1,000 (was £1350 new) and one exactly the same but with a handful of miles was bought by a friend recently.....for £511 on ebay!!!!

even he couldnt believe it.

moonlanders are £2,000 complete.....but many start modding a few bits.

Just thought I'd make a note of the tires on this bike, currently the bike is at 713 miles (easily 500 road and pavement miles) and they still look pretty fresh.

I was concerned at first as I have a couple of bikes sitting idle but prefer cardio and local loops on this with the comfort being so good.

The BFL tires are not cheap at £90 each but I have worn £40 mtb tires out in well under 500 miles in the past.

I will be keeping an eye on them in the coming summer

Rear tire at 700 miles...

Front at same miles...
