    OK mick your'e on...i'll join you in the shorty, after all when we did the peaks ride we climbed 2 hills both over 1000ft so i guess this shorty can't be all that bad and i'm already better at climbing now than i was then.

    I wonder if anyone else in our group would fancy doing it ??

    Cue people.........?????

    Yeah thats he one, its cheap and does the job. Some people have had problems with them and the chargers. My charger stopped working so I had to order another charger from a site in the US but I ordered a spare battery at the same time so I could have enough battery to last a 24hr race. Batterys last about 3hrs on full :D
