I would start my search at one of the many online motor bike accessory dealers. Motor bike security is far more advanced than cycle security IMHO.

Clarification to OP. I’m looking for a ?% off next order type voucher as I’m about to spend 3K.

Cumbrianmonkey makes a very valid point.

+1 for the Bose ear buds. Unbeatable.

Where are you thinking of buying it from?

Thanks guys. VMT

Thanks Doug . Happy New Year.

Doug – many thanks for the review. What wheels would you recommend. I plan to build my own so hub/rim choice is open.
Rorschach – neither am I. 🙂

Both. Garmin’s Base Camp application lets you plan your own routes and search for other Garmin users routes world wide. There are also loads of sites on the net with downloadable routes.
I have recently moved to Israel and the Garmin has given me the ability and confidence to explore areas I would not have been able to do with out it.

Ed-O – read his review which is why the Meta made it to the top of my short list. VMT

The Edge 800 was one of my better ‘investments’ as far as cycling upgrades go. Although relatively expensive, the unit is purpose built for the job and fairly rugid and weather resistant especially with the rubber case. Maps can be expensive but the time saved by not having to stop every few minutes is a bonus.. The unit can give audio and visual direction advice depending on settings and when you get lost will point you in the right direction. Also, if and when you have a big mechanical or an accident, the unit will give you an accurate lat-long for your would be rescuers or the emergency services.

Interesting. Probably go and try some on first. Thanks for the help.

Good call carlos. I had avery similar problem and it turned out to br the mech hanger.

You will need to provide more information in order to get the advice you are looking for. Are you trying to bend tubular alloy or sheet alloy? How thick is the material and is it a stressed component. Bending alloy of any description is a complex evolution with or without heat and best left to the experts or not bothered with at all.

Hi perthmtb.
Thanks for the advice, it all helps. I’m emigrating to Israel in August. 🙂

Thanks to one and all. A pair of Ardents are on order. 🙂

Thanks for the advice. The Ardents were already on my short list. Any advice on tyre size?
