He certainly seems to be the cause of rather a lot of digital ink being spilt. He's a bit of a T**T but, unfortunately for us, there are those epsilon-semi morons that take what he says as a green light for dangerous and unreasonable behaviour whilst driving, he knows it and cares nothing. I think the only thing that may change his opinions and attitude is if one of his children or his wife were injured by one of his idiot motoring "disciples".

What a twit!

SQUIRT LUBE does it for me. All through the last lot of weather my chain is fine, no rust and still running smoothly. A bit of prior preparation required if you want a long lasting solution to the perrenial lube problem, not an issue if fitting new chain, simply degrease fully. I've commuted through the worst of the weather with Squirt Lube on my chain, guards and studded tyres, the chain is fine and doesn't appear to require any cleaning. When it does then a low pressure hose wash will suffice, superb! I'm a comparitively recent convert to this lube but it's been a Damascene conversion for me. Try it you'll never use owt else!

Happy trails

I bought a Dawes Sardar at a very good price on Ebay (why the derogatory term?) from someone with little feedback 200 miles from where I live and a Dawes 1 Down for my son this was some 150 miles from where I live. Why is it that you're all so sceptical/cynical about buying secondhand bikes? It's always a case of CAVEAT EMPTOR wherever you buy unless it's from a someone you know or a retailer. If you want to avoid bike theft be more proactive with security measures, don't skimp on your locks and be diligent when using them, that way your bike won't end up on Ebay.
