I had missed the little peg. Re-routed the cable round the peg and now all good.

Thank you.

In the second group. Close racing, but managed to dodge some poor weather approaching Cape Horn and now just north of the Falklands with STWanchor chasing me.

RetroEighty

I’m in – ‘RetroEighty’

I’ve a 2015 Passat with a vibration between 1500 and 2000rpm when the engine was up to temp and under load and thanks to this thread I fixed it today. Heater pipes behind the dash going into the matrix were rubbing on a square edged piece of plastic they went under. Ended up wedging a piece of rubber in the gap.

I used a dumb trainer and an old ant+ garmin HRM/speed/cadence connected to my ipad pro via bluetooth using one of these

There was an issue earlier in the year but Zwift sorted it and it’s been fine since.

I did have a ant+ dongle in a macbook pro but the the mac was a bit old and it was very slow.  Viiiva HR with ipad has been great.

I broke mine quite bad a couple of years ago.  There was a couple of days between A&E and seeing the specialist. At first I didnt want it pinned but after a couple of days I wanted it done as I just wanted it to heal quicker.  The specialist said he couldnt pin it as the break was too close to the joint and they’d have to remove the pins at a later date as it would be it weaker in the long term.  It was in five bits and the doc said the empty space would just fill with new bone. I was able to use my arm to an extent after a few weeks and I was back on the bike (gently) after a month and a half. Made sure I followed the physio’s regime and I’ve been fine since.  Looking at the x rays I couldn’t see how it would fix itself, but it did.

Thanks. I’ve found a tektro 30mm integrated clamp/stop

I thought about drilling the brake bridge and fitting one of these

rear brake hanger

Its an old Genesis Day One Cross I want to run cantis on

your right! the post is 27.2 the clamp is more like 30mm. I’ve a 31.8 and it’s too big.

Looks like a nice job you’re doing there. Keep up the good work!

This is my 80 on the Wayfarer this summer.

Thanks. Planning on going tomorrow, only time I’ve got this week.

Both stories about leftover cockpit green and the use of leftover aluminium have been proven as untrue by the chief engineer who turned up in Australia a few years ago.

Neds Atomic Dustbin

Ford Ranger?

Who’s going to clear up the mess when it falls into the sea? Especially if it happens in 50 years time when they’re dead.

I’m on 3. I’ve a good signal but no 3G all day.

thanks SBH

Cheers. Will try the eraser (not the baby oil or peanut butter!). Sounds like hard work – there’s a lot of plastic!

Just a little pull on the nose of the saddle whilst pressing the lever. Not too much of an issue as it’s to raise the saddle after technical/fast stuff is over and there’s pedalling to do. It won’t lower without weight on the saddle.

I’ve an RSP one. Bought it because it’s 27.2 and cheap – wanted to see what the fuss is about. So far so good. Sometimes need a helping hand to pop up from the lowest position. No play yet but the cable is very short so I’ve changed that which is easy and there are instructions. Decided I really like having a dropper so might look at the Thomson post in the future as I’m a bit of a tart and the RSP one with that rubber boot is ugly.

My boys have had about six Islabikes between them. When my eldest outgrew his Beinn 24 I decided to build him a ‘proper’ mountain bike. I bought a 14″ Scott women’s hardtail frame and built it up from there. Trying to keep it as light as possible on a budget. Fitted a slammed 40mm stem (upside down), and flat bars to keep the bars as low as possible. When he outgrows this I can move the parts across to a larger frame. Also much easier to change/replace parts as they break or wear out than with a lot of the Islabikes specific parts. Cheaper than a Craig 26 too.

Rolex every time. They are like having some savings but you get to wear the savings, enjoy the savings, but still have the savings.

On the VFM front, I’ve worn my stainless steel GMT Master II every day for twenty years. It was £2,200 then. I had it valued for insurance purposes before Christmas and it’s now worth £3,500.

a good way of doing this is to all choose in identical car and pick a track, then post lap times.

Mine arrived this morning. Will save it to read over the weekend.

Don’t know why you live Stoner but April 6th there’s an autojumble at Newbury. I bought everything to convert a softtop 90 to a station wagon there one year. Loads of people selling panels, trim etc.. Always worth a tip.

Just put a set of Boost alloys (235/85’s) on my Mum’s 90. Looks much better than the 205’s on SWB rims it had before.

I had some 265’s on my 110, but I’d go for 235’s now.

8 spokes and modulars are nice but you get alot of muck and spray up the side of the motor compared to std rims. I use 130 rims on my 80″ which look better than SWB rims but look the part.

Chandler’s Nutty Toad Shagger

My Dad driving in the ’96 National Rally. 16 years after being left paralised from the waist down doing the same thing.

My eldest son (10( is obsessed. He plays it on the Mac, PS3, iPhone and his Kindle Fire. Spends loads of time watching youtube tutorials too. We’ve had to limit the amount of time he can play.

I don’t get it though. To me it looks tedious.

Black Grouse or if you’re in Shropshire, Tanners Peaty Craig

Me trialing :-)

I did this. You can go back and shorten the ride in Strava.

I had a 101. Great fun and the ambulance body or radio body version would make an excellent camper, but I’d do it with an ambulance bodied Wolf.

Victoria Cross this summer. I’m on the SS

After finding out my wife was pregnant, one of my neighbours (who I’d had little contact with) said, ‘so you do, do more than wash bikes then!’

I always struggled. When I started watching films etc. with subtitles my wife started nagging me and I went to the docs. I now have hearing aids. I still watch some stuff with subtitles though :|
