    sorry i should have been clearer, I am not currently a print/online subscriber and was wondering when in relation to a magazine publication date can I access the archived version if I become a premier user

    considering going premier, how many weeks after publication does a current issue go into the archive?

    It is already in the highway code as guidance. This will make precisely zero difference.

    the fact that if it became law rather than guidance would mean people could be prosecuted when observed by police.
    surely you cant object to that

    you can use any old presta valve cut from an old tube and use pliers to tighten it. just carry something you can undo it with in the unlikely event you need to put a tube in. I just unseat part of the tyre if i need to top up sealant.

    had a 2wd freetop for a couple of years now and found it brilliant,mine was lowered so has stiffer suspension and therefore doesn't suffer from high winds and fits under 2m barriers.very reliable, will cruise at 90 all day long if you want and will surprise you with its power and acceleration.It will run on straight veg oil with no conversion-so when/if the price drops its a good option, luckily I bought a few thousand litres @56p/litre :mrgreen:
    If you drive it fast you wont get amazing consumption after all its 2 ton vehicle with a biggish engine not a small car,but I have got about 40 mpg when driving at a steady 65.Another option here is to increase the wheel size so the effective gearing is a bit higher- my next project
    lots of genuine low mileage ones around I picked mine up for £3.5k with 60k miles, you could get 3 or 4 for the price of a similar vw with less powererful engine look on bongofury.com for lots of info

    I got my 60,000 mile auto freetop for £3.5k and I love it,its got a kitchen you would pay maybe 3 or 4 times that for a similar vw.will cruise all day at 90, sleep 4, if you drive normally you will get 30 mpg. There is nothing that is anywhere near it in terms of price and performance and reliability.
    The bongo forum has some stories of cracked heads/ overheating but thats what happens if you don’t check your vehicle and fluids regurlarly- what you should be doing with any older vehicle anyway

    they are a nice set of wheels, i have been running a pair for about 3 years on one of my bikes and had no reliability issues, i’ve been running them super ghetto this years and they wrk well, they aren’t stupidly light btw around 1800 grams for the pair- my recent disc wheel build of 1290 grams is stupidly light 🙄
    they are a good solid nice looking set of wheels though and I would be happy to pay £100 for a set if I was in the market

    I’d go for the giant or look around for more 2nd hand bargains you will get a lot more( and lighter) bike for your money

    get drop bars you will get used to them and appreciate love that they allow so many hand positions, honking up hills will get you fit in no time, this involves holding the lever hoods- not really the same with flat bar and bar ends.
    If you want relaxed buy a tourer 🙂 if you want brilliant handling, speed and responsiveness buy a road bike

    not any personal experience yet, but when my quart of stans runs out I will be using one of these recipes

    buy some 1/2 inch du bushings (if its a Fox) from a bearing supplier- about £1.50 each and fit use a socket to push out the old one then push in a new one, a vice helps here, I’m not aware of a cheap supplier for top hats tho but betd do steel one if you want long lasting

    i have with great success on a few sets of wheels still going strong after 6 months, i used duct tape and electrical tape and a valve cut from an old tube see here

    i never had to use washing up liquid, so from my experience he tyre rim combo has the most bearing on this stans and various contis were very easy for me

    by bidding you were agreeing to his postage charges and you already knew this was £20, it doesn’t matter if you can find a cheaper courier or not, the only one being difficult is you trying to back out of paying what is due.
    If by any chance he doesn’t send the goods or you dont get them after paying paypal ALWAYS side with the buyer.

    well if the splines dont fit in the middle like a cassette then maaybe its and even older freewheel, I think the older ones have two kind of notches that you would need another tool for
