    Bought a replacement for my HP Pavillion from Ninja batt about a year ago still happy with it.
    Not the cheapest, not original price but enough in between to be worth the cost

    I like to string them along too, Last ‘Have you had an accident in the last five years?’
    ‘yes, coming out of Tesco’s car park last week, I thought it was a fart but it was more. How much can I claim?’
    Silence then line goes dead.

    Putoline
    Works
    Cheap as chips
    Easier than cleaning grinding paste off the drive chain, waiting for it to dry, then re-lube after every ride.

    Check reviews on dealers, a good dealer will be worth the increased cost over private sale. Like these videos link

    I agree with you. If one of yours is hit by a speeding motorist, how can you complain if you have aided them in speeding by warning them of speed traps. If they get caught, next time they might stick to speed limit and it could save a life. Maybe one of yours.

    Measure available space, go to B&M/Wilkos get one to fit, attach self adhesive velcro to base and tray. Fanny’s your Aunt job done

    Made the shift two years ago won’t go back.
    First ebike Giant E+1. Yamaha great natural feeling motor, only fault was chain stay too long.
    newer Giants suffering from damp issues in wiring connectors.
    Second ebike Cube stereo tm, very punchy motor, some people can’t get on with the free clutch rattle. Lot less noise than a hope rear hub I think, so not a problem for me.
    The biggest thing, I think, is the extra weight pushing through turns. Took a few weeks to get used to new braking points on tech DH.

    Used to like it in the 70’s but now it seems like 90 minuets of blokes running around pretending to be hurt. The world cup has turned into a silly haircut competition.
    A mate’s daughter is in the welsh squad, watched a televised game, what a relief to see a game played without all the acting. It was football and not an episode of casualty complete with bad acting. Maybe it is because there is not all the money in their sport.

    The Christians stole it from the pagans, and now retail has stolen it from the Christians.

    I used to get the same, just ask for the vehicle reg number.
    Every time they ask a question just ask for reg number, they hang up after three or four repeats, haven’t had a phone call for a couple of months now.

    I haven’t bleed guide brakes, but my XO trails are as you say solid on the 10 compression and snap back. That is if I keep pressure on the lever syringe. If I don’t keep pressure on, the lever doesn’t really snap back. But don’t get a lot of fluid lose when replacing bleed port screw and lever is fine after wheel is back on.
    Might be teaching you too suck eggs, but is the bleed port at the highest point and your using a good bleed brake block in the caliper. A non rigid block will push back pistons when the syringe is removed.
    Failing that I can only think there is still air in the system.
    Last time I had that, I removed the whole brake from the bike and hung the lever off a nail with the caliper dangling, left overnight and any air will migrate to lever. Attach to old set of handlebars and bleed like that.

    Turn bike upside down, cycle chain to smallest cog/chain ring . chain should just run clear of the jockey wheels. If it runs on top of jockey wheels it is too long

    Air bleeding into negative spring and not returning.
    The air chamber has a small indent in the wall, couple of inches from bottom, to allow pressure to equalize between Pos and Neg air springs.
    This can get gummed up. Disassemble as if your servicing and give it a clean with cotton bud and solvent, then wipe with lint free cloth.

    They didn’t offer that , just turn up in patrol van to tell me what I needed then said wait for recovery. By the time recovery turned up, three hours later, motor factors were at home having tea, unlike me.
    RAC where more interested in getting me going the easy way. Get the part needed, help me fix it, and wave goodbye. Got to be cheaper than a recovery truck for a 6+ meter, 3.5 ton motorhome.
    If it can’t be fixed by roadside, happy to wait but if I can fix it in under an hour with basic tool kit I’d rather be able to do that.

    RAC ever since AA refused me.
    They will always send a van first due to roadside waiting times. once the van has been there is no rush to send recovery, because they have responded to callout.
    Last time I had to callout RAC, motorhome was leaking fuel from fuel filter. quarter tank 10 miles. I had filter out and in bits before he turned up. told him what I needed. He took me to Crewe Euro car parts, back to motorway services and let me use his vice to reassemble filter, waited to see if it was fixed, followed me to next junction then peeled off to next job.
    This was the type of reason the AA refused me, I’d tell them what I needed then had too wait four hours for recovery. Was told we are not a parts service. I told them they were a poor service when they would mess about with recovery all for the sake of a part you can get from motor factor and fit by roadside. Was when I was told go elsewhere. So I did. No regrets

    G-Tech very good, and the G-Tech multi is very good for car/motorhome cleaning.
    You need to rinse the filter every month or so (depending on use).
    I add some zoflora disinfectant to the rinse water. When you vacuum it’s like using air freshener, plus when smell stops being pronounced, it’s time to clean filter again.

    If you burp air with fork fully extended at full travel the air build up in the fork lowers can pop the dust seal out.
    If you have to burb air try it at half fork travel, see how that works.
    My pikes sit 5-10mm into travel, as I set sag at 25-30% it takes that into account so will only ever see full stanchion when airborne, so not really looking.

    buy it back shop around for quotes and use settlement to do majority of repairs.
    Cousin did this and was £50 up and had his car back. sourced second hand panels, plenty of online spare suppliers. Local garage fitted for labour costs. If your lucky enough to get same colour as your van no re spray cost
