    the Nano in your own car for security reasons.

    easily. There's a three-metre cable so you can easily hardwire it, but the charging lead is a rather cheap moulded 12v unit rather than the USB style that we think is a much better option and means you can still use your 12v socket for charging a phone or similar. As for the footage, during
  • Review: Mio Cyclo 210 bike computer (productReview)
    . So what doesn’t the Mio Cyclo 210 do? There’s no ANT+ connection so you can’t connect it to a heart rate monitor, nor is there Bluetooth.

  • Review: Nonda Zus smart car charger (productReview)
    It's not the most exciting of designs, although there's not much you can do with a USB charger, but the fact both USB ports are reversible, in other words there's no 'wrong' way to put in a USB lead, is handy when you're trying to plug something in when it's dark.

    the leading link front suspension featured on earlier Cubs in favour of a telescopic fork.
