Bike insurance
Hi
Both me and the missus have just purchased some fairly nice bikes and need to think about insurance.
Any help on what people do in this regard? Add it on to home contents? Specialised policy?
I have had a quote from velosure but don't really have anything to compare it against etc..
Cheers
bike rack mounted on tow ball
Hi
New to site.
Is forum search available?
Looking for bike rack for 4 bikes to mount on tow ball.
If you can recommend any I would appreciate it.
Family guy - so will have kids bikes as well
Easy and quick install/removal would be good.
cost hope to get at <$200
looking at
- Thule 9708 - straps used to secure bikes
- Pacific A frame - velcro straps used to secure bikes
- Another A frame FX4T - screw down bike clamp - sold through Repco
Ideally liek to try a few but this is the next best option.
Only just started looking
Thanks in advance

Looks to be a pretty good special on this...
Chain quick connects
My chain broke again today while doing a Manly Dam loop, luckily i was on the last downhill stretch before crossing the dam when it happened. When I got home I went to repair my chain and noticed that I already had 2 quick connects (one was when i first bought the chain and the second was from a previous break 6 months ago which I repaired trackside).
As it stands now I have installed the third one (mainly to save cost of buying a new chain).
Sore shoulders while riding
Just went out and bought a Trek Remedy 9 and with all this weather i haven’t been out as much..... So i m not sure if my shoulders and neck are getting sore from not enough riding or poor bike setup??? Anyone have any idea what this may be and how to fix it? The LBS di a quick fit but not sure he really knew what he was doing.
Had the bike a couple of weeks now, should I go back to the LBS???
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Faulty Garmin ANT+ HRM?
Hey all,
When I went out for yesterday's ride I discovered the HRM wasn't working. This was a bit odd as it was working just fine 5 days earlier.
Can't blame the battery as I tried a new one later. Can't blame the Edge GPS as amusingly when another rider passed me it picked up their HR for just a second or so.
Has anyone else had a similar problem where the HRM just stopped working and been able to coax it back into life? I tried rescan on the Edge, tried changing batteries as discussed but suspect the simple answer is the HRM itself has just died for no good reason
