Don't worry about that - many years crime fighting in this country in a former job has left me with right wing views that would make the Daily Mail seem like the Socialist Worker! My old colleagues were all the same whether black, white, yellow, working, middle or upper class, and all...

LOL, yes I guess the story has it all for "leftys" - the ethnic roots (man), the eco angle, the ethical local "non Tesco" producer dynamic. If only I had Levi Roots' dreadlocks and could speak rasta and play guitar I would have it sorted. The story is definitely not Daily Mail material for the...

The local rag published the story of me and my Chilli-Sauce powered Kalkhoff (or is it the other way around?!). If you need help with insomnia, click here to download the issue then page down to page 24 to read: http://www.timesfreepapers.co.uk/HT372.pdf

Fitted this one to my PC in minutes, and it is great, little vibration and good vision plus it folds in when you are garaging etc. Prize out the end cap below the little cowhorns and shove it in, easy: Mirrycle "Mountain Mirrycle" Bicycle Bar End Mirror: Amazon.co.uk: Sports & Leisure

Well done Russ. We shall have to form the first "Norfolk Pro-Connect Disc 8 Owners Club"! Maybe we can meet up this summer, since when my factory standard chain and cogs start to wear out I shall be interested to test a souped up beast like yours with faster gearing, with a view to replacing my...

Maybe weight of the bike won't help either. I was thinking of buying a sealant puncture repair spray - does anyone have any tips or recommendations for the best brand for price/weight/effectiveness? I have continental top contact tyres which supposedly have super-duper puncture protection...

Hi Scott Thanks, will do! May the Sauce be with you Glyn

Great work/site, thanks. I have bookmarked it as I can see it is going to be very useful for self-servicing post warranty expiry, down the road.

Thanks! Glad you like it, hope you will still like it if I have a warranty issue :) Meanwhile, I am always looking for a barcode sponsor if you wish to sponsor my next x thousand barcode labels, which I slap on the back of every bottle - they could say something like: "This sauce has been...

I see, interesting way your nickname has developed, I guess it is lucky you were not banished to the shi**ouse :D

Negative. A co**up. I added a bigger one for you so you can feast your eyes on the beauty!

Wow, your hardware has just blown my lightweight effort into the weeds, very impressed! Although one of the reasons I opted for a child trailer is so I can drag out my 2 munchkins for leisure trips, while they are still small enough to fit in it (they love it). Is there a thread on your...

:D Now that's got me excited! Move over DHL, there will be a UK wide hub network of thousands of electric bike delivery persons delivering thousands of things each year, albeit slowly. It is years since I lived in London but no doubt there are already pedelec couriers anyway. Meanwhile...

Dear All I took delivery of a 2011 kalkhoff Pro-Connect Disc a few weeks back and have been aboslutely delighted with every aspect of it so far. As a middle-aged returnee to cycling, in a hilly part of North Norfolk (with strong coastal winds) it has been a great way to ease back into...

I took delivery of my Pro Connect disc a couple of weeks back, up here in North Norfolk, and absolutely love it. Best thing I ever bought, it has helped me get back into cycling at the age of 46, unfit and overweight - I am getting fitter and have lost a few pounds already after some decent...
