    Don't assume your chain and cassette are worn if the chain skips!

    I have tried every thing. New cogs (twice) New chain (twice, New derailleur, new wire. Nothing works.

    Don't assume your chain and cassette are worn if the chain skips!

    My problem is that even a brand new 11 tooth cog and chain skips. I have tried everything to stop it. I am now seriously wondering whether it is the cog itself slipping on the splines.

    Tour de France,stitch up?

    Some of the Tour tactics can be likened to top class snooker, where evenly matched opponents strive to force each other to make a mistake. Brilliant safety shots leaving the ball balked, equally brilliant escape shots again leaving the ball in balk. You might complain that neither is actually...

    Tour de France,stitch up?

    It is after all called the Tour of France, not race around France and I think that the point is for the riders to remain fresh until the end, not fall out half way around.

    Registering an ebike in Northern Ireland

    Seeing what Flecc has written, I would suggest writing directly to the RSVRD and challenging their interpretation of the law and inviting their comments. It has to be understood that the ONLY body that can actually determine the law is a court. Lawyers can give a qualified opinion as to the...

    News: Electric bikes considered ‘motorbikes’ on Northern Ireland’s roads, says BA

    One might sat 'Typical!' The RoI got the summertime regulations messed up so that RoI standard time is the same as BST, so they 'take an hour off' in the winter to conform to GMT, having Irish Wintertime.

    Grenfell Tower

    Personally I have given up on poor Tom. He obviously has a hard left life style that is important to him and is unable to look beyond it. He thinks that a Conservative Government is Fascist!, clearly unaware that Fascism was a Marxist heresy and Mussolini was praised by Lenin. Still, each to his...

    Well said Planemo, ignore Croxden, he is just another one of Lenin's 'Willing Army of naïve fools.'

    Grenfell Tower

    Having struggled to light more than a few barbecues in my time I suspect that this foam is similar in that it does not readily ignite, but once it gets going there is little that can stop it.

    Grenfell Tower

    Another point that will have to be explored is just what did the Fire Brigade see on arrival. Some accounts say that they entered the flat that was on fire, extinguished the blaze and were preparing to leave before the external fire was noticed. Obviously, in future high rise fires, the first...

    Grenfell Tower

    Well, seeing the political hysteria being generated, I am reassured that only one council have over-reacted. Not being in London, I am of course at a disadvantage as to the latest news

    Grenfell Tower

    I am not too sure that the council could have acted in any other way. We have had politicians tramping all around this tragedy from day one trying to make political capital out of it. We have 'investigative' reporters filing all sorts of things. Imagine the headlines screaming, 'Council knows of...

    Are battery covers worth it?

    Can a battery suffer wind chill? It does not perspire so I would not expect it to experience wind chill.

    Grenfell Tower

    It is just that many Welsh have Italian connections. My late wife looked Italian as do her sisters and brother, but she did not know of any ancestry, even though her father looked like a Mafia Godfather! Visiting Italian restaurants, the Italian waitresses would look at her and assume that she...

    Relax, The Welsh are well able to take care of themselves and find the English PC attitudes rather patronising. (Anyway Flecc, do you have Welsh, or Welsh Italian connections?)

    Yes, there is no reason not to publish the number of people currently reported to the Police as missing.
