    errr… 2wheels1guy

    I don’t know any GP surgeries which do not have at least one ECG machine. I haven’t heard of anyone being sent up to a hospital by a GP for an ECG for about 20 years

    Pretty standard practice here.
    Our ECG dept takes multiple GP referrals every day.
    We also have a rapid acces clinic.
    I don’t know what the exact resources of every GP surgery is, but the standard practice is for the GP to get a 999 anbulance to take them to hospital if there is an acute concern, otherwise give them an ECG appointment or ask them to attend A&E.
    The main reason for this being maintainence & calibration of the machine & training of staff.

    But anyway, Ton has lived with this for some time and so knows the deal.
    I would recommend A&E if he feels unwell, if not, then ask for an urgent GP appointment who will possibly anti-coagulate, arrange ECG and refer to his cardiologist.

    A&E if you fancy a wait.
    Or ask your GP for an appointment for the ECG dept at the hospital.
    Some GP surgeries have an ECG machine that the practice nurse can use so check with them.
    It’s pretty common for AF to come back after the first ablation.
    Success rate jumps up a lot after second.

    I guy at work was waiting for the new iPhone but decided to go for the samsung.
    He is more than happy with it.
    Says the voice thingy is awesome.
    I’m getting the new iPhone though, dunno why, brand loyalty? Familiarity?

    The eThirteen xcx guide & single ring bolts arrived today.
    Got it all sorted pretty easily.
    Gears weren’t as smooth as I’d hoped so the nice chaps at The Bike Chain had a quick look.
    Turns out my mech hanger is bent.
    Got it straight enough to work until a new one arrives.
    Really liking the 1×9 feel & look.

    Your Chainset (the cassette is the group of cogs at the back) has 3 rings.
    Usually 22tooth 32tooth and 44tooth.
    A lot of people are taking the big ring off & putting a bashguard in it’s place so only having 2 rings, 22t & 32t.
    A bashguard is a hard plastic or metal ring with no teeth.
    If you find you miss the big ring and can’t go fast enough then you can change the 32tooth ring for a bigger one, often 36t.

    Here’s a chainset with 2 rings & a bash.

    I’m going 1×9 on my commuter.
    Just ordered an eThirteen XCX from CRC £35.

    Also some Single ring bolts from Charlie the Bike Monger.

    I’m going to keep the middle 32t ring until it’s time to change the cassette & chain, then i’ll go 34t or 36t front with 11-34 rear.

    most of the p7’s have 140mm for will 120mm work ?

    I started with 100mm Reba which was horrible!
    The BB was too low – lots of pedal strikes & mashed big ring.
    Got 150mm Revelations and it is a dream now.
    120mm will probably work ok, but around 140mm is the optimum.

    Just got some Endura Superlite. I really like them.
    Looked at the Altura Attack as well but didn’t fancy them.
    The Endura had an elastic waist which is good for not faffing with zips & buttons when wet.
    They come to just below the knees, really comfy.

    Looks great & kept it’s looks, paint good, level indicators good.
    Clamp still perfect.
    Mine is in an orange p7 frame with a hope qr clamp.
    It does creak if not kept really clean, greased & super tight.
    I do really like it though & would get it again.

    I used to use them from Edinburgh – Inverness.
    I stopped using them after a lad behind me projectile vomited over my seat, sailed over my head and landed in my lap.
    Kinda spoiled the experience for me.
