    as a postie got to say that the majority of the people i work with try their best, at this time of year you can imagine it is very busy.
    as for not redelivering an item i know that when mail volumes are high we would rather get an attempted delivery on every item rather than re-delivering items. you can have item put for collection in a local post office for a small fee.
    we have heard that they are working out a way of having a locker drop system, where items are delivered to a 24 hour location i.e. supermarket, where the customer can collect whenever.
    finally as in all occupations you will get the odd bad apple.
    if you want to complain, don’t phone, put it in writting :D

    should imagine so, might be issue with jockey wheel width, but as long as the limit screws are adjusted correctly the indexing is done by the shifter

    Anyway, I get a bit of lower back pain from riding the HT. I am convinced it’s down to lack of strength in my lower back muscles, combined with lack of flexibility.

    check first, but remember being told the opposite, it’s lack of strength in abs making your back take the strain. an imbalance between your abs and back muscles, your back being stronger than your front, if you like

    Hum, not sure on the colour, would have to see one built before making my mind up.
    Someone said cheap internet? If cheap rides like a C456, then I’m happy to have saved a few quid and have a massive grin after every ride :D

    touch toes, after each climb until core strength improves, your back muscles are doing the work of your abs. also try a suspension seat post, I have a USE SX £40 ish, plus really helps on techy climbs, stops you getting kicked out of the saddle
