    Got a SWB T5 with a SCA pop top, bought it like that and no experience of others, but suggest you get what you pay for, independent gas struts for top and bed. to be able to walk about and cook is really good, can’t imagine not having it, good to sleep up there, lots of room, solid bed.

    Some pop tops you see don’t look too clever, but I’m sure were much cheaper.

    when my polar stuggles to read the HRM strap or transfer the IR to the PC, it’s time for a new watch battery. The magnet will make no difference, there may be an LED on the speed sensor that may illuminate.

    There may also be a jumper within the speed sensor to extend the range if you want to use it on the rear wheel.

    Hope that helps

    I run campag 10 speed ergos with road BB7 or 5s. Also run a shimano rear hub with a campag spaced Ambrosio 10 speed cassette, such as

    http://www.ukbikestore.co.uk/product/17/ambr317/ambrosio-10-speed-cassette.html

    Only moved to 10 speed because of this. Not sure if anyone does a 11 speed version

    This may work but no guarantees.

    Remote Control Programming (1997 ON)

    Procedure

    1. Switch Ignition ON and leave the key in the ignition.

    2. Mechanically lock the vehicle using the Drivers door using a second

    key.

    3. Using the remote control press the Unlock button once, and the horn

    will sound once.

    4. Wait 6 seconds and press the unlock button once to activate the coding

    procedure. The remote control will now be programmed.

    NOTE : When performing programming on additional remotes the procedure

    is the same, except you press the unlock button 2, 3 or 4 times for the

    different remote.

    For example : If programming 2 remotes press the unlock button twice with

    a 1 second interval between each press, repeat for 3 and 4 remotes.

    5. Switch Ignition OFF.

    6. Remove key from ignition and check for operation.

    7. The coding procedure can be repeated up to 4 times for additional remotes.

    8. The ignition must be switched OFF between programming each remote

    control.

    Remote Control Erasing (1997 ON)

    Procedure

    1. Switch Ignition ON and leave the key in the ignition.

    2. Mechanically lock the vehicle using the Drivers door using a second

    key.

    3. Press the remote control unlock button 5 times in 1 second intervals.

    A short horn will sound.

    4. Wait 6 seconds and press the unlock button once to activate memory

    erase.

    5. Switch ignition OFF, all remotes are now erased.

    In the family, I've got a Whitespider, Dogs Bolx and a K2, the K2 was £275 inc forks it was some time ago, don't get used much now, but really well made and rode well when they were my main bikes.

    I've never had any problems but knew someone that worked there.

    There are, it's where the West Drayton off road sportive starts on the 16th May.

    Heres a link to the previous route, http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/Bucks-Offroad-Classic-121k

    Some nice linky bits along the canal and some nice pubs. Theres some nice singletrack up and downs and a tunnel under the M25, if you follow the route and cut it short at Chenies on the A404, you'll have a good ride.

    I'm away or I'd offer to show you the route.

    Enjoy

    Cyclo ( halfords brand) works ok.

    It will even do the freewheel when fitted to a ENO eccentric hub if you pop the eccentric "flange" off with an allen key

    if you get a S type speed sensor, it has 2 small philips screws, you can open it up and change a jumper setting so it will work up to 1.1m.

    You can google it. Not sure about later sensors though, think my CS200 was a S type and I did the change, my S625X definately was.

    Hope that helps
