Allegedly there are tariffs only available to smart meter customers. Whether such a tariff would benefit you is anyone's guess or complex calculation.

I'm up to about £350 so far, but I'll be recycling brakes, mechs, shifters, tyres, tubes, saddle, front wheel, pedals, chain and cables from either an existing bike or the spares pile.

Probably another £50-75 to go.

Could have recycled a few more bits but we all want a bit of bling sometimes.

If the budget for a camera might be stretching things there's always the "beware of the camera" sign instead: https://passpixi.com/

No connection to the company, no knowledge of the effectiveness of the product beyond the manufacturer's own anecdotes.

Hmm. I haven't watched the video but is it because of the UCI's rather narrow definition of a bike?

Francesco Russo of Switzerland set a new World Record by covering 91.556 km (56.89 miles) in one hour at the DEKRA test track in Germany on 2 August 2011

A batch of older pictures have disappeared, 404 error.

Repeat of the 2016 update issue?

Whatever the reason, it only applies to a charities properties, so it has no relevance to the Cycling UK Gift Aid situation.

Indeed, tours of our Guildford HQ have never been on the list of member benefits.

The key measurement on the rim for finding suitable tyres is 18-590, an ISO marking which cuts through all the different ways wheel/tyre sizing has been measured down the decades.

The internal width of the rim where the tyre sits is 18mm (suitable for a range of tyre widths), the tyre bead seat diameter is 590mm (any replacement tyre must be the same bead seat diameter).

Your existing tyre is 28-590, the rim is marked 26"x 1 3/8" or to put in another way it will suit a tyre marked 35-590. Width wise anything from 28 to 35 should work so long as it's a 590 bead seat diameter.

Welcome to the forum.

At a guess you have unhooked rims, which may limit the scope for increasing the tyre width. Await further replies.
