    I tried returning a Wiggle order to the address listed at: https://help.wiggle.com/support/home
    I.e:
    Customer Returns,
    Unit A,
    Brook Park East,
    Shirebrook.
    NG20 8RY.
    But it was sent straight back, saying the Frasers Group bought the brand, but not the liabilities, and that they were not going to refund me 🙁
    Apparently not a lot I can do about that.  I wish they had made that clear on the web site before I went to the faff of paying for recorded deliery etc.

    Hi All, apologies if this is covered elsewhere, but what are the best online resources for interfacing third party apps, raspberry pis, controllers etc to one’s inverter ?

    Sounds similar to a Canyon Spectral 125. That’s a category 4 bike. Is the Wasp lower in category, so lighter etc ?

    You say “120mm 29er mountain bike from Yorkshire”. Alas, not a bike. Just frame and suspension. I was excited for a minute !

    I’ve stayed at Hotel L’Aubergade, and had good experiences there – friendly staff etc. As it was a while ago, it might be worth you checking recent reviews.

    I’ve a 16 km commute, with road, some steepish hills, and flowing (and often muddy) off-road. Been doing it for years, all weathers, with panniers and mudguards etc. My best solution (so far) is a rigid Al frame, with Gates belt drive and an Alfine hub. Zero transmision maintenance, except every 12 months for a hub relube. Before that, it was (in Winter), a chain clean, relube every couple of days. The belt drive is a tad slower, but if you want a commute bike to be utility, low maintenance thing, i can’t fault it – i won’t be going back to a chain for the commute. Best of luck !

    PS i’m using a Cube Hyde. Mudguards,rack mounts,disk brakes..

    My commute of choice is a Cube Hyde Pro belt drive. 8 speed Alfine hub. Part of my commute is offroad and can be muddy. I really appreciate the zero (and i mean zero) drivetrain maintenance through the Winter. Takes fat tyres, and i have medium coverage mudguards front and rear, plus rear rack mounts. Quite heavy, so might not meet your specs, but i do recommend that you do consider belt drive.

    Panaracer Smokes and Onza Porcupines – do they still make those ?! I do have some, but they are getting pretty old and sidewall crumbly. I was under the impression that things had moved on since 1990 (?!). Or have they not ?
