    Cycling question

    i converted my road bike to flat bars from drop bars as they do my back no good which I use to commute to work 10miles each way. having been an avid mountain biker for years, entering quite a few 12 and 24 hr team races and the odd endure more recently, i'd concentrate more on simply getting the...

    Really really bad Mpg

    and i'd time it up at 32 or 33 degrees nothing wrong with a 009 if you don't know where the vac hose goes on the carb its the one which is covered off usally with a short bit of pipe with a screw in it (in my experience) and if its not covered off then that's another on your list to fix!

    Single port performance

    I would think its splitting hairs when it comes to the difference between 1641 and 1679.. whilst you've got the heads off, I would get them a minor porting if you can, singleport heads respond well to being opened up a bit i'd also convert the cooler to a doghouse cooler to give some...

    recommendations for a new camping lantern

    well, the maplin lamp is impressive especially for the size - its about 20cm high and on high mode provides the same light as a 40w light bulb if not more. the two lower modes are actually much more pleasant and I like the ability to have different brightness. I doubt i'll ever need the usb...
