What twaddle! Ride any distance sitting up, into a headwind, then with drop handlebars. End slab is 2 or 3 times your frontal body area. My built in resistance calculator tells me that, no fancy instruments needed. Silly me, I forgot, a pound of feathers is heavier than a pound of steel! It's...

It's votebait for the 160k tory members (Tory -from the gaelic for outlaw, bandit, robber), who are choosing our new PM and the direction the country will go, for us. Sunak, Truss and their acolytes are leapfrogging each other to the right with loony ideas to glean gammon votes. My local FB page...

Yes, that's the one, I have one for free in my box of spare bits. I'd prefer a longer cylindrical spring if I can find one.

Exactly so. I'm pondering one of those door buffer springs that screw onto the skirting board. I have bamboo canes, there is also some growing in a local wood, however it wouldn't survive any better than the GRP, just snap off where it enters the trailer frame.

I use Google maps, now has more for cyclists. The black screen/white text could be selected using night mode?

Would it be more aerodynamic to tow this the other way round, rather than shifting air with the slab front? Would 1.5mm Ali sheet with some struts not be lighter than ply? Possibly insulated with foil bubble insulation? Covered with nice flock wallpaper obvs.

You should be able to release the brake cable enough by popping it out of the adjustment screw at the lever end. Screw the adjuster fully in, line up the slot, put brake hard on, as you release pull the cable out and out of the slot in the adjuster. Presuming you have rim brakes.

My IKEA trailer is great, however, when empty or running light it has flipped over hitting a bump with one wheel, this has snapped the grp flagpole. It's 6mm dia. Inserted into the rear frame. Snapped where it enters the frame. My thoughts are that I need some sort of spring and a metal...

I do what you are aiming for with a bbs01b, 42t front cog, 13/34 X 7 rear block. Tow a trailer sometimes, often fully loaded panniers. I'm a stone or so heavier than you too.

Does it come with a water pump integral? Presumably has some sort of assisted lift mechanism. It will sneak by the planning regs though, wasn't a small cycle shed in a small front garden knocked back by planned regs?

Mips cycle helmet with wrap around sunglasses. I was given a pair of Puma RX05 with 3 sets of lenses in good nick, now looking to source the prescription lenses that fit behind.

What a great trip. It would be great to go and see my li'l bro in the south of Spain with a set up like yours. Would the solar gain outstrip the usage in serious sunshine?

I took my Brompton into Woodlesford Co-op last week, left it folded, tucked in by the end of the tills while I shopped. No problem. I don't think anyone noticed. It's best to seek forgiveness than permission in this situation.

Vigilantism would be more akin to finding where the offending driver lives and going round with a mob, pitchforks and gallows. That'll learn em. (Apologies to those who are averse, for quoting a Badger)

On android, press and hold on image, then Search with Google lens from the menu. Click the link.

I have a hybrid with bbs01b, 42t front cog, works ok on bridleways around me, some steep sections. Easy to play with settings, using programming cable and Speeed Android App, eg upping the power to 350w/18a can be done while you are out riding in the private grounds of your mansion;). I have...

I have a solar system on my narrowboat, capable of charging the bike. There is also a wealth of info on boaty forums about systems, batteries etc, eg https://www.canalworld.net/forums . The system on a live aboard boat is likely to be bigger than needed for charging an ebike, but all grist...

Be careful with your search terms for that one (shocked emoji)

Wonder what's different about an ebike helmet, speed and consequences aren't really any different. The cynic in me says a sticker and more beer tokens lost. Wouldn't a mips helmet be a better safer spend anyway?
