The sign in question.
"Wheelchair user exercising dog", I'd say.

Might be worth including a price

If on the inside face it is unlikely to be for a dynamo or rack.
How about a photo?

Tangentially, what is the great attraction of USB lights? I prefer a bolt-on light with (rechargeable) AA batteries.

Steve

The usual advice is
1) find a quiet residential street with plenty of room where you won't inconvenience the residents (my preference, once did that for 2 weeks in Holyhead)
Or
2) look at options on Just Park website

Could get some chilly nights and mornings at that time of year, I seem to remember a few at -5C in October when we were there, though it was probably late October rather than early. Weather is usually pretty good, but can get foggy as the lake area is a big basin into which all the cold air settles.

Along with all this disposable tat, is that it gets harder to find cafes which offer a proper pot of tea! Does my head in.

My question is: what on God's green earth will it fit? I am at a loss. Any words of wisdom gratefully received. And if I'm being stupid, please let me down gently.

Crikey. Doesn't time fly. One day I'm using all the latest gear (well, some of it anyway), the next I'm a weird old fogey with components out of the ark!

I've acquired an old Blackburn frame-fit pump, and however careful I am to connect it to the valve (Presta), I find air always finds its way back out of the tube into the pump, so I can never get it near the required pressure.
Is there a valve in the pump itself, which could be faulty, or might there be another explanation?

Steve

And are the valves entirely separate from tyre and tape? Now I'm curious too.

Steve

Forgive me if this is one of the "usual methods" you've tried, but if it was me I'd head to a bookshop and try to get hold of a good local map(s), say at 1:50000, and work out some routes from that.

I've used this combination without any spacer at that end, is it possible that something else is missing from your cassette?

Does anyone know of somewher that I could leave the car for a period of up to 2 months at reasonable cost?

Might also need the same for port of tyne, Newcastle?

Considering campsites etc but has anyone done it and found anyone to be helpful?

thanks loads in advance

You could also look into caravan storage places, they should be suitable.

Steve

My comment would be: do not bin them, they look to have many miles left in them. Though for peace of mind, you might not want to use them for lejog.
Someone might well buy them, if you do want rid.

Steve

Now I see the problem. Also that Spa do list 46T available as a middle ring, which is obviously what the OP had ordered. I hadn't realised middle rings were made so big.
