Neil - some good ones there - there's something similiar to My Bill for UK customers that I might have to try. Those run statistics look impressive - might have to see if there's something similiar for cycling. iDisk is good but so slow! Agree about Skype - it's just like you're using the normal...

Wizer I've had numerous PDAs then Phone/PDAs and only recently have they managed to work well as both a phone and a PDA. The latest iPhone really does work very well as both - even better than my old HTC Touch Pro (which was actually pretty good). Cheers Gidon

Ah forgot Shazam - very clever. No decent equivalent to Shop Savvy on the iPhone unfortunately. Tony - haven't got any of those did look at the OED but too pricey for me - use the free Dictionary.com which is ok even though it's American. Cheers Gidon

Well since I'm not getting a lot of time woodworking anyone with an iPhone? What are you favourite apps? I'll start with ones related to woodworking ;): Decibel - I have nothing to measure its accuracy but seems pretty good to me. Rulerphone - I love this - place a credit card or such like on...

Thanks Steve! Wearing them under something else sounds like a good plan! Cheers Gidon

Well finally made my decision: Specialized Allez Sport 2009 model - got the last 09 model for £734 - the 10 model is £800 and is identical apart from colour. Bought it from Certini Saltash (The Specialized Concept Store) - rather reluctatnly they chucked in and installed a Cateye cycle...

Doh - I wasn't connecting the bit on trainers and cycle computers! I thought it's because you like doing wheelies! IB - you like trainers then ;)! Boardman seems to be the favourite. Wiggle do assemble the bikes as far I can see - I just need to put the pedals on. Think I'd like to go with...

Thanks Steve - really appreciate your help. Why not the Wiggle one? I'm not impressed with my local Halfords - they really don't seem to know what they are talking about and just know I'd either have to tinker with the bike myself or take it to the LBS. I have no time to do the former and am...

I have the Rexon and it's a good morticer - swapped the chisel for a Axminster Japanse one as soon as I got it. Think I paid £200 for it (in red). Cheers Gidon

OK well I've had a good look into this and narrowed it down to a few that I like / can get easily: Specialized Allez Sport 2009 (£734) / Specialized Allez Elite 2010 (£799) - exact same back different colours. Shimano Tiagra. (The basic Allez is nice too but the 2009 one is hard to get hold of...

Love the way it's described as a "gardening essential"!! Sorry Wizer have no idea but have to say if you can get a Bosch one for a similiar price albeit less powerful I'd probably go for that. I know some stuff can be pretty decent from Lidl but not sure I'd trust any non-branded chainsaw...

We have two of these - one at top, one at bottom. We had little choice since we have very narrow stairs. They can be operated one-handed although they are a bit fiddly and more annoyingly operated one handed they are noisy when the children are asleep! But they don't get in the way when open and...

Calpol Have a look at my write-up on the T7 versus the Scheppach models: https://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/forums/view ... 979#261979 Cheers Gidon

I do like the Specialized bikes - have found Big Peaks in Ashburton which does Trek and others so will take a look soon if I find the time. Good to get praise of Wiggle - they don't seem to do Giant any more though ... My wife won't allow me to get all that clothing! Yes Hot Pursuit - good shop...

I have the older one. It is cumbersome - if you hinge the visor up and turn suddenly in a cramped workshop you can really hurt your neck! But wouldn't be without it - easy to take on and off, I find it comfortable to wear - I don't really notice the buzzing but then I tend to be using it with...

Sorry for replying so late to this ... Thanks a lot for the helpful advice. I've got nothing against local bike shops - quite the opposite - it's just the two near me I'm not keen on. I went to one in Totnes yesterday which has been around for ages and does Specialized and Scott. They had the...

Hi I know there are some keen cyclists here so am hoping for some advice. I've always been a keen cyclist but am recently getting a little more into it. I have a Saracen lowish range mountain bike about 16 years old (!) which has been fine and I still need for towing the children around on in a...

You can get an excellent edge with those waterstones and aside from sandpaper it's probably the cheapest way to get a superb edge. You do need to be diligent with waterstones and having running water in the workshop would be a real help. Another option on the waterstone front would these Norton...

Thanks Tony - my oldest is four too - could freeze all their ages! Cheers Gidon
