Beamers – thanks for ‘AlpineQuest’.

I now have a large, free 1:25,000 OS map stored on the memory card of my HTC Widlfire.

Those symptoms are exactly like mine.

I tried the BG gloves and they worked for a while, but I think I may have squeezed too hard and the pads in the gloves moved apart and became less effective.

I tried swept-back bars (Humpert "Trackers") and they helped:-

I can ride or hours without numbness now (it's my knees that give up).

I use a Brompton in my lunchbreak, it has straight bars and I still get the numbness after less than an hour.

When I did this I drew a line (making a note of the vertices so that I could recognise them in a text file), exported it as a dxf file then wrote the program to recreate this file with the new vertices. Then I repeated the process for circles, text etc until I had a library of routines.

Yes, ballsofcottonwool, it’s a foot brake (8mm spanner and a Avid BB7).

Do the internal gears have to be in the REAR hub?
