  • From: David (laid-back@etc) on 20 March 2008
    • I've had a look online and it's another great issue.
    Hub gear article. Tandem recumbency. Pedersen. It's all there!
    Great work.

    • Apologies for the delay - Easter happened! - but I hope to be mailing Issue 29 out tomorrow (Thursday). UK copies will go first class so will I hope reach most readers by first thing next week if not before.

    • Cracking gloves Gromit, and welcome to the front cover!


  • From: Enid (Enid@the.nurses.home.con) on 31 March 2008
    • Usual high standard with interesting and entertaining content.


  • From: Peter Eland (peter at velovision) on 2 April 2008
    • ERRATA: The price for the SRAM i-Light D7 hub dynamo on page 43 (110 Euros) is incorrect. It should be around 85 Euros, making it officialy cheaper than Shimano's 3N80, instead of more expensive as stated (though the street prices at German online retailers do seem to be broadly similar). Apologies to SRAM for the error.
