    depends?! depends on allot of things.. weather, drinks the night before, food eaten, ability to use baby wipes. me thinks you assume to much about nothing :mrgreen: it is possible to design out user error, thankfully they have been doing it for years in aviation.

    thru axle same chance of user error, yes but the thing is not about to exit the bike as easily as std QR ❓ as held captive “thru” the axle. me thinks you would still notice a loose wheel earlier and still live to fix it

    if things go missing without permission simply replace milk for something less pleasant (or old milk) catfood in meat sandwiches or lumpy bits in soup. that soon stops office squirrels. After a bit of office banter between to heads of department about the disappearance of their favorite cup said cup was held to ransom until work got done (?) which escalated into rivals cup appearing in a photo above the cistern displaying a loo brush flower 😆 within a few days we had more photo’s of rivals young urchin excitedly peeing into ransomed cup. it ended there.

    too many bikes in the world to get hung up on your ebay missed opportunity. god forbid you could always try gumtree (and how excellent I have to say has ebay made that “free” website) 👿 this one anygood for you? http://www.gumtree.com/p/bicycles/saracen-zen-ii-mans-mountain-bike/1104479690

    whatever, read the the standard. then test it using newton gauges and your own hand. standard QR belong on road bikes not rough riding mtb’s. you could snap it yes but then nobody is expected to carry a newton gauge in the pocket to do up the cam lock. Thus a thru axle is more secure than an open ended fork/ axle

    womp where the heck did you find that? in a bathroom chain store or a designer outlet…whats with the chrome finish? there’s some good suggestions here.

    if when closing the skewer it doesn’t hurt your hand to do up then your not applying enough pressure on the QR and it may come loose. Can you say that for every ride? thus the reason they have been binned on most high end bikes in order to reduce such chance

    the reverb is great but both mine have had to go back and been replaced under warranty? that’s 2 posts on 2 seperate bikes 😥 😕 if it’s still under warranty (2 years for sram stuff) then take it to the lbs and get them to send it back

    what I love most about drilling into brickwork is when you’re pressing on the back of the drill whilst stood on the last rung of the ladder and trying to keep the whole shebang square on to your markings and the drill suddenly finds the mortar join between two bricks and all of a sudden you’ve got a massive hole which doesn’t hold anything so you shove half a pack of matchsticks in there to hold the plug in place and hope the rest of the screws go in okay.

    or steel! as in the dam lintel that some 1970’s wacjob decided to use around all the windows..grrr

    five tens anyday, the impacts lasted 4 years in all sorts of garbage before finally splitting..still can’t bare to throw them away. Bought the vxi’s to replace, much lighter and better waterproofing – quick drying to boot.

    the wiggle item will take away the hap hazard guesswork of the the topeak item. I’ve got one of the sealey items (made by laser tools item number 3451) and works just dandy – provided you have the 3/8 sockets to match

    The British standard EN 14766 for closing force on a quick release mechanism is far greater than you think! not that anyone knows unless you look this up and then relate that to using a Newton gauge and your hand. In short it needs to exceed 60NM to pass. relate that to your hand and rather than a simple “impression” it physically hurts to clamp the thing!! different designs of handle/ lever will help but even the best require allot more effort than you think (don’t buy the skinny lever type for instance – a shimano has a nice fat handle for a reason). In short buy a new bike with thru axles if you ride any form of rough stuff…rough. Qwerty are those for road bikes? that where std QRM belong..

    Legally, the amount charged has to relate to a calculation of the loss to the landowner. They can claim for lost income if you occupy a space that someone else could have paid for and used, but only if the car park was full and there were no parking spaces left. For example, if parking cost £1 an hour and you have been issued with a parking charge notice for £30, you would need to have parked there for 30 hours to justify the charge

    from earlier. the coop car park is never full!! and even if it was the footfall through the place would be such that you would be extremely unlucky to find it full i.e. constant stream of cars in and out. And the cameras haven’t reappeared so how they expecting to enforce it?

    template letters on the cab website – follow link in earlier reply. but this is what CAB say
    If you get a ticket

    If you get a ticket on your windscreen or through the post, and you think that it is unfair because, for example:-

    you didn’t break the rules
    it wasn’t obvious what the rules were, either because the wording on a sign wasn’t clear or there were no clear and prominent signs about the car parking rules, particularly at the entrance to the car park
    the charge you are being asked to pay is too high. Legally, the amount charged has to relate to a calculation of the loss to the landowner. They can claim for lost income if you occupy a space that someone else could have paid for and used, but only if the car park was full and there were no parking spaces left. For example, if parking cost £1 an hour and you have been issued with a parking charge notice for £30, you would need to have parked there for 30 hours to justify the charge. If you challenge the ticket because the amount charged seems too high, you can also ask for a breakdown of how the landowner’s losses were calculated
    the ticket has been sent to you as the registered keeper of the car, but you were not the person who parked the car at the time the ticket was issued
    you had a good reason for breaking the rules, for example you may have stayed over the time you paid for in a hospital car park because your appointment overran

    the coop carpark opposite my work place has a 2hr stay with camera recognition. Both work colleagues have overstayed and ignored all letters, they didn’t pursue it beyond the usual rhetoric (letters more letters then …silence) last month they introduced “larger signs” ..but and get this.. removed the cameras? that was 4 weeks ago and the cameras haven’t returned? chancers..complete

    everything you need to know here
    http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/reclaim/private-parking-tickets
    couple of cases recently in the papers and on bbc news where defendants (you) went to court and the otherside didn’t bother to turn up. the judge then went through each case and said they were not enforceable for various reasons. also check out the cab website here http://www.adviceguide.org.uk/scotland/consumer_s/consumer_cars_and_other_vehicles_e/consumer_driving_and_parking_e/consumer_parking_tickets_s/parking_tickets_on_private_land_s.htm
    in anycase let them do the donkey work it’s up to them to prove any case
