I've got a flat bar folding lock and an old D lock plus a motorcycle cable lock. I'm going to swap bike rack tomorrow so may look at attaching them all to bike or rack. I don't really want to spend any money unless I have to as have enough locks and having read through posts I think 2 or more...

What about https://thebestbikelock.com/best-u-lock/litelok-x1-review/ X3 is a bit better but both take a few angle grinder discs to get through. British company as well. Still looking at around 5 mins protection, but would a thief find that all too difficult?

For those that are interested. I thought this is a good deal for £22. What we thinking. Bolt cut chain and throw bike in van. Would need to cut chain and angle grind frame lock to ride off. That would be about 2 mins. M-Wave Unisex Adult Ring Chain Frame Lock - Black, N/A https://amzn.eu/d/3hSIjRO

Frame lock you need to cut twice to allow wheel to turn. It's also difficult to get access with a grinder. I think a cheap £10 bike alarm as well helps. Probably take 1 min to cut lock twice and get a hammer on the bike alarm. That's probably the best your going to do unless you get something...

I park in security controlled enclosure mostly at work. I'd getaway with not locking but feel better with big cable lock which I leave on bike stand. I only ever lock bike away from work with £5 cable lock outside local shops on the way home, and I only ever park where I can see bike. Couple of...

I don't have the two holes for a frame lock but would like to fit one. With a plugin cable it's a perfect solution for me. Can't find anyone online that's fitted rivnuts or self tapping screws to secure lock. Not sure if I want to drill frame to fit one?

I put back my suspension post back on bike which I was originally struggling with, plus my crossbar is about 75mm below seat height so drop post would not work for me. Great bit of kit though.

This thread plus what I've been watching on YouTube has got me sorted. Things are alot better riding and getting on and off.. :D I've been getting off the saddle when I stop during rides. Raise the peddle ready to start off to thrust forward, then sit back on saddle to ride. Leaning bike to the...

Well I've been trying some different methods. Placing my left foot out wide and leaning bike over, then lifting right leg over to get on or off, while holding rear brake on seems to work well for me...

Dropper seat post. I'll look that up.

I'm not sure if it's age and I don't bend so well, or the rear rack with bags I've fitted catching my leg, but I'm struggling a bit to get on and off my mountain bike. I don't think it's helps I have a horizontal crossbar though. Next bike I buy could do with being a step through as that looks...

Stem is 150mm so short. I'll buy a goose neck at 220mm I think. Keep the handlebars. That will be higher and closer. Thanks all

22.2mm stem. It's stamped on. I adjusting to the maximum height today. Really need them closer rather than higher. I find I'm leaning forward too much. Original bars were chrome and I sprayed black but they seem to have a long reach

@sjpt Something like this? Raleigh - GNJ253 - Adjustable 110mm Handlebar Stem with 25.4mm Quill Fitting in Silver https://amzn.eu/d/4TXt3Bx

I need to raise the handlebars on my mountain bike. Well I'm thinking up and closer to me. Any advice please... They are as high as possible now. I was thinking of a raised bent set of handlebars? I plan to move the display to the centre as it's to the left side at the moment. That plays on some...

Well I've fitted old unused foam insert and been wearing wellies for last 3 hours. Been on a bike ride with my son and all good. £15 well spent. Can't say the same for the bacon bap and coffee X2 in town for £19.90. Was not nice.

Challenge pannier bags from Argos. They are ok. Cheap at £15. Not sure how bags attach with sliding clip so pulled off the clip and tried on. See below.. Side bag. Strapped on an old tool bag as my plastic box was too difficult to fit. Can be done but not now so I'll stick with bag...

I'll report on how it works out. I bought a size smaller as fitted nice vs flopping about. I'll be peddling not walking. Be interesting to find out if it works for me

I've bought the half height wellies. That will work
