    We found some stick down panels for our van. Went with as many as the roof could fit, 200w. the flexible ones are less effective than the solid panels but they don’t stick out into the air flow or make the van higher than it was.

    Never met and b-biker who was fit.
    Perhaps Singletrack is advised to have a ebike issue and keep Single track magazine as an effort only publication. I’m not interested in one and it appears its dividing opinion too.
    I’m happy without thanks

    I had one which sank a matter of months after a full service. Couldn’t do more for it so I removed it and lived without. I don’t need something like that in my life, it just complicates stuff.

    We had a microchip cat flap and a word of warning. During the winter last year it stopped working with the cat outside on a freezing snowy day. If the neighbours hadn’t stepped in to help him I dread to think what would have happened. no warning lights, not battery low indication, just dead. Changed it very quickly.

    I’ve just sent a pair back, quality was great the 365’s were really nicely made. The sizing height wise was ideal. but a 32 waist they were not and didn’t really sit around my middle as good as other shorts.

    I heard someone directed the fish towards a German satellite and although the commentary was in Klingon the race was fine.

    I used a screwdriver to remove the outer and the inner ring from the hub.
    This three part adaptor to hub interface has a small third ring betweeen the 9mm qr and the fixer hub pressed ring. But the new 15mm version’s in between ring is threaded. The original version isn’t. More confused then before.

    The black cover over the bearing looks like it’s driven out by the bearing. Nothing to get it out with. Thanks fo the help.

    I’ve found from painful experience that formatting the card is less damaging to each file than deleting each one by one.

    Bollocks. When you read threads like throne that began this story you find yourself thinking ‘could I be the man he is if I was diagnosed?’ I think the answer is very clear.
    No.

    It’s such a sad day – I met Chris when he helped me build my lights. He was a great man and a fantasiuc guy to talk to. I’m do very sorry for his family.

    To revive this thread did anyone post a link to the correct sized O ring? I found lots at 1 mm but nothing as close as the found. Any suggestions, and yes, I have googled for it.

    Jerry: thanks I’ll give him a miss even if he turns up in a old car borrowed off his Brother that goes like a bomb.

    Last time there was a series of images from the landing some days after the event.  really hoping for a video this time.  The technology is fantastical and the risk of year/decades of work all being for nothing if it went wrong.

    could it be salt coming out of the plaster?  Would a layer of pva or brick sealer stop the paint being bubbled?

    Can’t imagine anyone has not suggested this, we stumbled on it getting lost over the golden gate bridge, didn’t know if we needed change to cross the bridge back in the hire car.  Imagine my surprise reading the words Nuclear missile battery.

    The tl tubeless ones I had were horrid and I managed to damage a rim getting the on. Cut them off in the end. Never got them to work tubeless.

    We had in put on our van and it transformed spending time inside. Unless you build the cooker in the floor you shouldn’t be cooking in your knees. Having the space and ventilation is fantastic for extended periods away.

    Depends on age of the van – it’s a lot of money on an individual bus if it’ll let you down in a few years.

    Plus net are just fine but we too suffer occasional drop outs. Obviously it’s not something the helpline has even heard of happening before so we’ve lived with it. They’re all crap* pick the cheapest.

    After our break in I too pleasure in imagining the disappointment oh the buggers face when he realised the router he ran off with was wrecked!

    I hope he wasted time trying to fence it.

    From the quote I got it breaks down as 1/3 parts 2/3 labour or profit. The calculated payback time is mostly paying for the install. I can’t see the industury continuing in the same form.

    Currently I’m experimenting with a single panel and micro inverter. We think it’s cut the bills in half during the day we export a small amount but import nothing. It’s not there to make money just to see what could be done with what.  Worth it even without the fit. Most commercially installed systems are excessive. But you’d do well if you heated your water on solar alone.

    I’d like our van repainting but it’s not the gun that would be the problem. It’s where to put the van while your painting it. Huge garage dust free space with air extraction and lighting is my major problem.

    By all means have the fabric protection done. But by an indipendent elsewhere. It’s cheap stuff and the dealer makes a huge mark up.

    We have two. One on a small car a Thule express which is light and mainly for road bikes. Mountain bikes go on the van mainly due to nose weight concerns. Both swan neck type. Wouldn’t go back to much else

    I have oakley’s but stopped short of they’re own reactions lenses as my wallet reacted to the price. I had the lenses made to fit and work just fine at night as they’re virtually totally clear.

    I’d have waitied for them to scan the lot, pack it into bags. Then decided I didn’t want it and left. unexpected item in the depacking-it-yourself isle.

    Guessing that is why ours has gone missing, they clearly have a lack of practice.

    I had a Honda which shut itself down under high boost periods. Turned out it was under fueling due to a blocked fuel filter.
