Wow what a fantastic video. Thank you thank you thank you. The kids are incredible, what a clever goat making 3 lovely little things. I understand the fears about going out on the bike. I still have the dog fears (still no cash ) my new bike has a cassette 11 to 43 plus the e aid if I need it. I ride 40 k per day using the assistance over the last 5 k because I am knackered and it's all up hill around 11 % . I hope you can over come the fear. It is difficult but you have a great bike. Perhaps change the rear cassette to 11 to 34. I did it on my Trek Domaine and it made all the difference . Just that extra 2 teeth. It cost me 36€ on intersport fitting was easy. Anyway enough of my crap, thank you again for the entertainment.

Thanks Pedro. The length of the cable will depend upon where you want to put the extender battery. I think I cut mine at 40cm but you will need to measure this yourself depending on the size of your bike. There are two thin cables and two larger cables. You can ignore the thin ones and connect the larger ones. From memory, I think they were red and black, so polarity was obvious. Hope this helps!

Having spent 35 years treating cows with acetonaemia (ketosis) I find it strange that there is now a weight loss diet for humans that presumably results in ketone bodies in the blood. I am diabetic (type 2) and when I was first diagnosed 20 years ago they thought I was ketotic and was admitted to hospital rather quickly however the hospital decided that my GPs urine testing kit was up the creek and sent me home. I know these diets are very popular and KZbin certainly bombards one with ads extolling their virtues but I presume that once the kg. have fallen off there is a less drastic maintenance regimen to follow. Good luck and best wishes Gareth.

I have found before that limiting/removing carbohydrates from my diet and forcing the body to utilise stored fats through exercise rather than using the otherwise immediately available glucose from ‘normal’ dietary intake does lead to weight loss…whether this process has been mis-labelled Mark is certainly one for the more scientific amongst us!
