    broken cable help

    I’ve got to admire your persistence with this. However, looking at the photos showing the state of the rust around the rear wheel and shock, my concern would be that the frame or other component fails whilst being used.

    Highway code changes

    It‘s the same with H&S legislation, Approved Code of Practices (ACOPs) are not law, but similarly guidance. But can be used against you in the law courts.

    Sorry to hear about your sister. I too contracted Covid in the early days, April 2020, was hospitalised and it nearly killed me. You had some good help along the way and you’ve learnt a lot as well. As I said earlier, very pleased that you got the moped eventually working. Just keep it that...

    Everyone can have a say on the forum, that’s the point of it. However, this has become a saga, albeit an interesting one and it was very positive to see a conclusion to it with the moped working. But now things have moved on again into the broken down area and the saga continues…

    This is the problem when working on electrical circuits when you don’t know what you’re doing, particularly if someone else has been messing around with previously. An electrical engineer colleague of mine once stated that he liked working with steam engines as a hobby, because when something...

    I understand your frustration, but you did initially buy when it was basically a non-runner. With regard to the Ring doorbell, I just cannot comprehend how you see that as a good thing.

    I have read all your posts from day one. I am impressed that you have kept going with this project and kept throwing money into this project. I certainly would not have the patience to do this. I would have just cut my losses, sold it as a non-runner on eBay, moved on and purchased one from a...

    You had it working this morning. Now you’ve messed around again and, it’s not working. No surprise there. Otherwise we’ll have another three months or so of endless questions and you’ll end up spending more huge amounts of money trying to sort out the problems you’ve caused. Just put it back...

    Raleigh Motus Bar ends?

    As already suggested, go to a local bike shop with the bike. Let then review your riding position and then alter accordingly. Stem risers are easily fitted and stems can be adjustable giving you more range.

    Rear lights: which is best, continuous or flashing?

    Hopefully you were OK and the bike not to damaged. I had a similar experience in my car a few years ago at 0400 in the morning after coming back from Hospital. A Muntjac deer jumped into the front of the car from the hedgerow. No time to brake and it went underneath the car and caused nearly...
