There was a post not that long ago where someone was using that type of lock outside the supermarket. While he was shopping some ne’er-do-well just picked the bike up and walked of with it. Personally I’d bin it in favour of a lock that allows you to secure the bike to a fixed object.

Where do you get off insulting total strangers, your a 2hat my local Halfords have a competent mechanic who has been more than helpful in the past when I needed parts for a special build, not all branches are the same.

And here’s me, just brewed up and worried about where to put my used tea bag :p

From Halfords, I have a Bazingo MTB (analogy) and my sister has a Crossfuse with Bosch motor/electrics, Both are working fine. Ive no problem buying from Halfords but I do do my own maintenance ;)

How much o_O I made a few of these a while ago for some of my cycling buddies, the bits cost less than a fiver per unit. They fit nicely on the top tube for easy use while riding.

From the same article I quoted earlier. ”Several Samsung Galaxy Note 7 batteries caught on fire in 2016, and the investigation revealed the mechanism that lithium dendrites caused an internal short circuit”

I always change indoors at room temperature. In my early days of lithium battery use I read about “lithium dendrite growth” and the damage it causes. It’s still an issue ! “internal short circuits caused by lithium dendrite formation were one of the reasons for battery failure. A Li-ion battery...

Like you my car isn't type approved for towing (Picanto gt s) as I found out after buying the car.:( l contacted many companies only to find that some Picantos of my year would take a non towing towball but not my model :mad: I have a Halfords rear hatch mounted 4 bike carrier (£3 on eBay:) )...

A + for the idea, I’ve Been there and done that, the soft audible click gets louder the faster you go and the constant impacts will break stuff sooner rather than later. my zero impact pulley system worked well back in May 2019 https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/diy-mechanical-dongle.34683/

Yeah they should at £120.00 – £122.00 :p On a lot of cheap crank arms (£20ish) the chain ring is only pressed on ;)

I’ve been using it for years, mostly for planning/recording trips. I haven’t yet needed it for proper navigation but I’ve tried it while walking, I started the navigation on my phone, turned the screen off and put the phone in my top pocket, I then had audio instructions as I walked ;)

When I use to carry two motorcycles in a van I found old fashioned rope and ratchet straps worked fine

Thanks for that, I first spotted the spring wire thing a few years ago and at the time though it looked crap o_O with no lateral support your saddle would yaw and roll from left to right :eek: fully agree with your cheap sprung saddle, I don’t currently use one myself but I had one on my diy...

SW, How much damage can screws like this actually do ? yes that’s a £1 coin

Do you actually know how small 3mm screws are? The peak/visor is 2mm thick so the 3mm screw is only in the helmet by 1mm and if the visor gets “ripped off” the screws go with it. You managed not to mention the camera on your helmet that will be impacted into your forehead when you head butt a...

1mm dia x 3mm long ! Do you know how long 3mm actually is, get your ruler out and see what damage that can do :p That great lump of technology called a camera strapped to your helmet would do a lot more damage o_O

I see many people wearing a cycling cap underneath there helmet ! I have grafted a spare peak from one helmet onto another, this did mean using 2 extremely small/short screws, just enough to bite in the helmets outer shell (1mm dia x 3mm long) it’s been on for a couple of years now ;) It’s a...

I’ve never been to the tip on a bike but I’ve come back with a few ;) (that was many many years ago when you could buy scrap from them) In your position I would contact the council and get written confirmation of your rights. The next time I went to the tip and gotten challenged, I’d show the...

The OPer has lost his nerve and given up on the project (I ain't chancing it! o_O) so whatever anyone else w or wouldn’t do is now academic :p

Just spotted a Rubbee X on a local app, I don’t know the seller or anything about the product but I thought it may be of interest for someone. https://nextdoor.co.uk/for_sale_and_free/672fb9b9-e6ab-400a-b353-eb526f2a64ca?init_source=copy_link_share
