I have seen demo’s of Furniture hoists on the estate I manage, it works very well.

Assuming the balcony faces the right way.

Welcome

damn those mudrides are pricey!

I have had a lot of success with the Madison waterproof shorts

I use them daily on the commute.

Seal skin socks are pretty much a waste of time as your feet still get wet when your shoes fill up.

Invest in a shoe dryer, i have a clas olsen one and it is very good.

water proof gloves are a good idea though.

I have had a couple of chinese lights for a year or so and they are great.

Minor gripe is that the velcro straps for the battery holders could be better, although I have noted that some of my mates who have purchased more recently have ones with double straps.

As per above will be the wobbliest rubbish you’ve ever seen.

Chest mount or visor mount is the way forwards.

It’s supposed to displace some air through the tube.

I found it pretty straight forward to service.

The one I was working on was dropping and wouldn’t hold height.

I changed the oil and set the pressure and it was golden.

You will need a tool to remove the schrader core.

Does the cartridge need servicing?

The bushing grease up is very straight forward.

I advise not hopping about on your good foot as I have knackered the cartilage in mine from being bloody minded.

The Gusset R Blackjack def has no stitching and is a decent price.

secondhand 5tens?

very useful info boys and girls, i’m hoping to head over for christmas 2017.

they do work

I had the same

as per above go pro software.

If its a threaded type QR axle you can replace the axle with a fully threaded and then use normal tugs.

I’ve made a bodge up previously but just ordered the gear best ones.

Thanks for the link

I would go to a shop you like dealing with, haggle to get close to the best deal and take joy from:

– Keeping a shop going
– Friendly faces
– Physical shop to go to
– The likelihood of competent service.

Unless price is king then buy them online and bitch and moan every time there is an issue.

check the battery terminals are tight.

one at a time

Look for a BTR frame ?

They often have trade ins or buy backs

for the chest mount use a J mount rather than the standard, you get more range.

Curly bit at the top.

Trim a zip tie and stuff it in the back of the clip on the j mount to stop the clicking on the footage.

mount the go pro higher

Under the visor on a full face is a good one.

Like this

this is a pic with my old Faux pro

The naked frame works best for this type mount. a lens cover stops any mud issues, unless it’s pouring down.

I’ve regularly had issues with pretend stock. very annoying and no discount when they fess up

alternative

I use the furry side of some velcro, along with under the bottom bracket and wherever cables rub.

Much neater and does the job perfectly while only covering the surface required.

Ah the Ay-up website is useful, I have been strapping mine to the top tube but they show it on the down tube.
On my Saracen Ariel this is where all the cables route so that should give it some traction I will give that a go.

Thanks!

What shock length is it?

Are they painted on?

How do you guys carry your batteries on your bikes?

My Chinese Cree lights came with a bag with a velcro strap but it slides down the top tube during the ride which means the cables can sometimes get in the way.

Any obvious tips i’m missing?

always the same for me, if i have 4 days off the commute the second commute ride is rubbish

Crank the high stop out all the way and leave it.

And then leave it 6months and do a 1 x conversion with a taco

I have a very similar sounding issue which arose while I was cycling to and from work during the olympics.

I had started cycling to avoid the traffic in London, this meant I had gone from 0 miles to 32 miles a day.

I hadn’t done a lot of road riding at this stage and my experience of riding techniques was poor, i figured to go faster you keep cranking up the resistance.

I was pushing a harder gear than normal and this is what did the damage.

If you are not already, always try to keep your cadence high in an easier gear.

Ensure your seat position is the best it can be, cycle slowly around and have someone take a photo of you side on to get an idea of where you are situated on the bike.

Too low a saddle
Too high a saddle
Saddle too far back
Saddle too far forward
Stem too long
Stem too short
Stem too high
Stem too low

These can all contribute to putting additional strain on your knees etc.

There are lots of articles on bike fit which you can either try to measure up accurately or try to mimic in your own way.

Through changing my riding style and fitting my bike to me I have considerably reduced the amount this issue affects me.

I can comfortably do a 50-60mile ride. I did the Ride 100 and that hurt but a lot of that was due to me crawling up hills alongside my partner who is a pedal masher!

Summary
Pedal mash bad.

Dig,
I moved in to my place 3 years ago, had a couple of shoots in our lawn from next door, we mowed them for a bit.
I googled the shizz out of how to get rid of it, the only way is to dig it up and put in a physical barrier to any remaining plant, this means concrete or steel.

We ended up having to dig up about 8m² of the neighbours garden and about 3-4m² of ours to get rid of it.

This has resolved the issues now.

It’s crap but you are gonna have to get physical.

Anything you leave in the ground will re-grow.

get a 20″ wheeled bike with 1 or 3 speeds they are way more comfortable than bromptons, especially given the roads in LDN

Are they in line with your forks?

No not him.

Tony Doyle the laid back chilled mtb coach man.

He has video blogs, have a shufti.

Ive had bel airs for about 6 years they normally get torn in a crash way before they ever wear out.

Always aim high.

I moved 3 years ago from a £29,950 Salary and took £35k to move, then found out that others in the same role recruited later were earning 40k, had an uplift to match.

A couple of developments in the role later and i’m on 50k with minimal lift in responsibility.

Always aim high.
