I know somebody who has a legitimate health-related reason not to wear a mask and received an exemption card from and for his place of work. He has travelled cross country on different regional railways unmasked and displaying the card on a lanyard and not had an issue as yet despite the fact that i...

“Remove a sharp bend” ... with an even sharper one

What about a cable from an auxiliary circuit in the car (cigarette lighter, tow bar, rear light circuit)? Pop a consumer into the wire circuit and if it is disturbed it should trigger the car alarm.

Sorry for the long post. I didn't even say what I meant to say. There's no way if knowing the truth in article like those from clickbait local rags. Don't you just hate local rags and their websites that when you get to the page and find it's mostly adverts and the text repeats itself to pad things...

Don’t know if Centaur brackets were ever made for 73mm wide shells but could this be the problem?

Except there's a lot of the North coast that's now hollow whereas ic clay country they just dug big holes and then piled it back up again. Just up the road from me is the deepest vertical shaft in the county; 3000ft. I recounted this fact to my son as we drove down the A30 one day. I asked him to i...

With a few minutes drilling and filing on the workbench this would probably do the job clamped round the stem shaft.
Bit pricey though.

do let us know how you get on. I have always suspected that the cable fittings will need to articulate in the rocker to an unacceptable degree every time the brake is applied. But I have not used one of these in anger so maybe there is more to this than meets the eye. FWIW there are various (stiffe...

Just thinking about this .................. Park somewhere quiet, and put the hazards on, and walk away and around. It could be possible to see how the indicators perform out to the sides and away away as a cyclist might see them. For a total realistic scenario you would need someone in the car to ...

I have one of the headset thread mounted steel hangers shown above on my everyday bike. I find it makes the brakes a bit mushy so I am shortly to replace it with a Tektro Power Hanger which takes an outer cable casing on one side and does away with a centre hanger. 28147130-931C-4BFE-B3C9-3C2133E255...

Agree with the above and would add that telephone orders are usually accompanied by requests for recommendations, advice and details of the product and also time consuming tales from the enquirer. The member of staff dealing with this may well have no product knowledge or cycling experience.

Or were they?....

Down tubes are loaded in tension and in torsion, so a sudden collapse is unlikely but it will probably crack quite soon. Bin it. They are also subject to compressive bending loads during heavy braking and impacts on the move such as potholes and ridges. The same, though lesser, than they would when...

It's necessary to read all three links to get the whole story . Indeed. A reflection on the style of online news reporting. So often these stories are an incomplete, jumbled assembly of occurrences that only tell part of the story. Information is repeated two or three times and the article is chopp...

Does the frame have a plastic gear guide under the bracket that is riveted or screwed on? This may be protruding too far inside and preventing the bracket from going in square.
