    Yeah, planning to hang on, I think! Does feel like I’ve given them an interest free loan though….

    Yep, already paid for in full on my credit card. I did know it was a pre order with a 71 day lead time but that’s now up to over 100 days from order…

    There’s always section 75 to fall back on I guess

    I guess I was expecting it, still disappointing though.

    How long would you allow for delays before cancelling the order? Just trying to think about the potential of another email in a month’s time.

    Not particularly scratchy, doesn’t slide as easily as in the vids on their site as it grips on the tyre but found once you got it moving it does the job. No scratches to the rim.
    Suppose you could use a bit of the sealant on the bead so it has less friction.
    Lives in my seat pack now

    I’ve got a tyre glider for exactly the same setup after a aborted ride following a **** side wall tubeless puncture on my road bike. Took about an hour to get my tyre off, tube put in and tyre back on with levers. Tubeless sealant everywhere! How I didn’t pinch the tube getting the tyre back on was just sheer luck!
    Tyre glider thing took old tyre off easily and mounted the replacement pretty easily. No swearing at all! Can recommend!

    So??? Where did you get to? And was it a good move to go?

    IAAP with G3 which is the legally required qual required to work on unvented cylinders.
    Firstly, don’t adjust the pressure reducing valve, it’s part of the safety mechanisms to stop the whole tank going pop in a spectacular and destructive manner!
    The water hammer is most likely to a worn tap or valve seat, that WC float valve would be No.1 culprit in my eyes as a starter for 10.
    Multivalve replacement is straightforward but again it should be done by a G3 qualified plumber.valves aren’t cheap unfortunately. If could be accumulation of debris in the filter defecting that valve but I assume that was cleaned out when the plumber was there putting that random Flexi pipe in the hot water pipework!!
    Also the pressure in the expansion vessel should be the same as the static incoming mains pressure, so that may need adjusting.
    Try the WC float valve first though. Good luck

    Currently in Cairngorms for holiday period, no Xmas bull.
    camped at Rothiemurchas for the first five days with a mate,it even snowed yesterday so it’s stunning up here. dropping him at the station in Aviemore and spending the next few days on my own in my camper just free camping.
    So far we’ve done some walking, mountain biking and even had a dip in an icey cold Loch Morlich! Get to the Peak and spend a couple of days in the fresh air, bike, walk and chill, reset before the grind of work kicks back in, you won’t regret it.

    Bought one last week for the same problem. Windows cleared of condensation very quickly. That Vileda version looks like a good idea as it is trickier to vac up the bottom of the pane. It specifically tells you not to turn it on its side to vac as it leaks.
    Only streaky if too little or too much pressure used.
    No ceiling space on landing for a PIV unit. Have fitted them for a couple of customers and they just work.
    Nuaire fwiw

    There’s a bit of a following for the lefty’s someone would buy that from you.
    I’ve still got a jekyll 900 of that vintage! was wondering if a set of flared bars would make a half decent gravelly bike. Geo is adjustable and the titanium lefty and rear suspension both lockout.. rubbish idea??

    Having just re read the second link, that appears to be for approved driving instructors only. My interpretation is that the first guidance stands and it clearly states that in England we cannot take out family to practise their driving. Makes no sense at all!
    Where do we stand on the insurance front if it’s guidance as opposed to law

    How about putting inner tube under the self amalgamating tape? Tidier finish with the increase protection of the inner tube.

    Great idea Chips.
    Hi I’m Jaz, for my sin’s I’m a plumber based in Nottingham, cover all areas round and about. Have sorted jobs for STWers up to Lincoln and a few in-between. Self employed and am really only doing smaller jobs at the moment to keep me in customers houses for the least time possible and because materials are more difficult to get hold of at the moment.

    Cheers,
    Jaz

    CPAPs operational, approved & built, the ParaPacs are hitting the NHS, now the Penlon is approved with production up & running.

    At the very least we will now have ventilator capacity at the Nightingale’s for a subsequent second wave of infections.

    I would hope some of the cheaper offerings like the GTech, we didn’t end up approving, are still useful for the undeveloped world, especially as they were designed to run off-grid.

    So I’ve just pointed a contact at this thread, your reply in particular dants, to someone closely involved with the challenge ventilator project, his reply was initially unprintable!
    He then went into diplomatic mode and suggested that they had a limited use and may, just may have very limited use as a stopgap.none of them have any way of seriously preventing barotrauma to already seriously damaged diseased lungs. ‘it feels like a PR stunt’ their words not mine…
    The refusal to join the consortium sounds more and more like negligence. Idiology over doing the best for the public good

    Dan is a mate of mine and a top bloke. Refused all the offers of gofundme and other cash as he says he is well paid and it’s probably covered by his insurance. He been given a replacement and had offers from other generous folks and companies.
    He’s planning to auction off the gifted bike after the CV 19 calms down.
    I used to work at that hospital 20 years ago and bike thefts from the supposed secure compound were an issue then!
    He has also set up a Facebook page to try to match up bike donations with NHS workers who have had their bikes knicked or to use them for getting out on for their mental well being. Please visit the page, like, share and follow and of course if you need to n-1 for a great cause, please help out an NHS worker! #bikerescue4NHS
    Any thoughts on the page and thinking behind it always appreciated, I’m an admin on there. Thanks people!

    Nothing at all! Last few years I’ve menaged to convince the family to donate to Shelter, even my 14 yr old lad, that made me feel good! I have enough stuff, I think we all need to buy less stuff at xmas

    As an aside, has anyone seen a guy in a turban riding a motorbike or bicycle in the UK, ever?

    It’s not something that I’ve encountered.

    Yes, me! A bike rather than a motorbike that is, and I’m not even in that there London!

    IAAP.

    It’s well and truly buggered! It doesn’t look as though there was a grub screw, the collar you unscrews held the spout in. I guess yanking it at a slight ange would have broken it

    New tap required. Where are you?

    If you’re keen to replace yourself, any mono mixer tap designed for kitchen will fit. If the water. Pressure is good.

    If not, you will need one designed for low pressure otherwise the flow through a high pressure tap will be woeful!

    B&Q tell you what the taps are designed for. They usually come with flexible tap tails to make installation easier.

    Good luck

    The water in the store Is captive but it’s considered good practice to heat It to 60 degrees once once week with a time immersion heater to kill any legionella growth. Makes it safe for anyone working on the install (IAAP!)
