    Gotta love a pair of 601’s!

    Get some 604’s then you don’t need to hide the cables.

    so many saints on this thread.

    People have illogical double standards when dealing with cyclists.

    Scoot across a set of lights and you get all sorts of shit, despite clear view and no oncoming traffic.

    (80
    Toucan crossings. These are light-controlled crossings which allow cyclists and pedestrians to share crossing space and cross at the same time. They are push-button operated. Pedestrians and cyclists will see the green signal together. Cyclists are permitted to ride across.)

    Pedestrian does it no one bats an eyelid, why does that make sense?

    There is no law against jay walking but they are advised: At traffic lights. There may be special signals for pedestrians. You should only start to cross the road when the green figure shows. If you have started to cross the road and the green figure goes out, you should still have time to reach the other side, but do not delay. If no pedestrian signals have been provided, watch carefully and do not cross until the traffic lights are red and the traffic has stopped. Keep looking and check for traffic that may be turning the corner. Remember that traffic lights may let traffic move in some lanes while traffic in other lanes has stopped.

    Allegedly Essex police managed to write them all off through crashing or not maintaining the tappets.

    It’s quite a headache for residential blocks as they will have to up their incoming supply on the worst case scenario that at some point the car park is full of EV’s all wanting to charge.

    Think about it from a ratings perspective and also a low cost ingredients list.

    Imaging they came home asking for Persian Saffron or chateaubriand.

    In terms of ratings, shit cookery lessons won’t get you a bad score on an Offsted report, they channel their efforts into visible results from the core subjects.

    buy them 4 x memory cards and make sure they change them each week, that way if they lose one or corrupt one then they only lose a week.

    I have a wireless keyboard and mouse and then prop the laptop on something.

    I have a couple of Dell 23″ screens at work which costs about £140 don’t need to go mad.

    Consider if you need cellular if you have a decent limit on your phone, the tethering is good for apple devices and will save two lots of line rental.

    The question that all the research will lead to is: “would you pay more on the off chance you could repair the device or would you rather pay less ?”.

    I’ve made the mistake of being flexible with my WFH days before and this now means its a day off in her eyes.
    Some days this is fine but it is tricky to balance.

    Cancelling the claim was an odd move and will rule in their favour.

    The MOT would only be a concern if a failure of the vehicle was the cause of the accident which it clearly wasn’t it was driver error, one of the drivers anyway.

    Again contact the above and ask for their design input.

    I’m sure they would provide a site survey which at the very least will confirm viability.

    You will need to consider drainage and erosion both from weather and use.

    Not a light undertaking.

    I have seen pumptracks suffer very quickly, not least from popularity, and often from smaller children using scooters on there which destroys lips etc.

    I have had some DHX and AMX wheels for years, I am harsh on them and they have been true without issue.

    That said any customer service I have had has been pretty shit.

    The CS contact seems to take everything as a personal insult.

    I would approach the pump track builders and ask them for tips, have you been to any others you like etc?

    I prefer the concave nature of the Vaults as well as the extra width.

    I may be wrong but I think they are thinner too so less pedal strikes.

    I have vaults on two bikes.

    Plastic v12’s or whatever they are called on my commuter.

    DMR fanboy!

    I couldn’t move that far away, my family live within an hour and I see them once a month if i’m lucky.
    We see the in-laws all the time as they live within 2 miles.

    Best of luck with your decision.

    If the bike needs to be left somewhere or locked up then I take the commuter.

    The good bike only goes out when I am on it the whole time.

    Also, use two locks one D-lock you leave at work and then one decent cable lock for the front wheel and helmet or a quick stop on the way home.

    Not carrying around a D-lock changed my life, rattly heavy things can stay away from my bike!

    If you want to go one better get a combination D-lock, I have a decent Kryptonite one and then you don’t even have to carry keys. Winning.

    I test rode a Brompton and decided to buy a Kansi in the end, the ride on 20″ wheels was worth the minor increase in bulk.

    They do a single a 3 speed and a 9 speed. and a BMX look alike.

    Forget anything other than a hero 7 they are untouchable by other cams in this field.

    you’ll only end up upgrading later and you will get about £2.50 for whatever else you buy when you come to sell it.

    I’d wait and see, a fella near me rides the same 25ft jumps etc with a stump wedged into a bar end and the bars, I reckon with some adaptation you could make a brace to ride the mtb.

    I would get it done by a mechanic, they will know how much force to apply.

    Takes about 15mins of their time.
