    Ive been using a biologic for a year now, its still the best Ive seen. You will need a ipone 4+ to get worthwhile battery life and the bar/stem clamp is a bit crappy but otherwise recommended.

    Does the 500 have a clock? I was set on a 200 until I read in the STW review it doesnt tell you the time of day, seems a bit of a shortcoming.

    My comment was actually about the whip, seems it would be a better test of man and beast were the man not hitting the beast with a stick.

    An act which also seems at odds with their love for the animal?!

    If you are married your property is jointly owned so registration doesnt matter and presuming your not 17 and shes 35 fronting isnt an issue either.

    Put theinsurance in your name one year hers the next to maintain / accrue ncd. Just take your bedt guess at main, named driver.

    Sony Bluray has been the choice for a year or two now. Plug in an ethernet and you have youtube, iplayer, 5od etc. They also have usb connections for playing video files.

    A recent update stops the software recognising avi or divx files but you can overcome this by renaming the extension mp4.

    The seatpost in this Hahanna was 26.8, the catalogues for Konas 1990 to present are all on line if you do a bit of searching.

    BTW the comparison to on ones is a good one, I went from the Hahanna to a Scandal they are very similar, On One slightly slacker.

    If someone sells you a can of coke (take away)for £1 they are taking the ****. Also afraid the volume thing doesnt stack up, bikes are mass produced components hung on degrees of mass produced frames.

    Globally Trek, Giant, etc have all the volume required to benefit from scale.

    Busineses do not like to leave any money on the table and in the UK there is still a lot of diposable income especially whilst MTB remains the new golf.

    After a recomendation from a friend I have now. been having a fruit smoothie for breakfast most mornings. I very simply use a hand blender and a tall bowl that came with it.
    Roughly cut some fruit an apple , pear banana etc inyo the bowl maybe chuck in a couple strawbs or grapes a small smount of juice or even water and squash then blend away and drink from the bowl which is pint glass shaped.

    Job done snd washed up in seconds .

    I,ve been really impressed with Motion GPX is excellent interface, loads of mapping options and you can export tthe files in various formats.

    Its also easy on the battery, I reckon it would be good for 10 hours+ tracking.

    I have used a flat blade file that happensto fit between two splines. Works perfect, you can file stuff with it too.
    Anything that can turn it is fine.

    The strategy for companies using aggregators is to have low basic premium to position them at the top of search results but high additional services such instalments,amendments, cancelation fees etc thats how they offset the low initial price.
    Excess is the bit your choosing to self insure companies like you to have some, it reduces claim frequency.

    people who insure comp are seen as more conscientious than non comp.

    the garage thing just isnt reflected in loss ratios, pretty much the same regardless of storage.

    The vicar is another risk, could have been additional risk plus probably an admin fee which are rising to offset low initial premiums which is tactic to get companies to the top of aggregator sites.

    If only they were “plucked out of the air” in reality the best acturial brains in the country (and often from abroad as well) combine any and all data they can get to generate a premium that’ll better reflect your risk than the next company. If anything the Insurance business is a death match between the best maths and marketing types we can muster.

    So the premiums are based on a combination of risk factors, postcode, age, driving history, credit score, car, occupation, driving experience, the list goes on try combining 30 or so variables.

    The bigger the company and hence the more data they hold and quality of analysts they employ the better they rate your risk, that doesnt mean the better premium you see in fact often the opposite as they are less likely to under estimate what you should pay but equally are more likely to correctly identify a better risk.

    All this is secondary to your profitability which may be different from your risk so a safe prospect with some risk may not be as profitable as high risk priced correctly if you can attract enough of them to spread the load. This may also be subject to a pricing layer in the pricing model.

    So motor insurance has actually become that complicated I suspect(know) many companies have lost control of every outcome from every risk factor which is what has probably happened to the op.

    Soon (few years)we all have blackboxs fitted which may not sound too appealing at first but at least our premiums then will be based on individuals not a mathmatical guess at someone like you.

    Cheers

    Trouble with singlespeed is that you do wear out the cogs quicker, recently Ive had gusset, surly and on one groove armada, all much the same. Groove armada at a pinch would get my vote.

    As a punter I may be tempted by 10% off incuding fitting and back up should there be s problem. Thats s reasonable value for £30 to me. Someone else who is less comfortable fitting cutting hoses may find the full £60 value.
