Re: leather restoration
Does masking tape stick to canvas? Any tips on how to negotiate the many corners & bends?Braceby wrote: ↑7 Apr 2024, 11:37amUse masking tape then.simonineaston wrote: ↑3 Apr 2024, 12:10pm I think the problem with any liquid, oil-based treatment is that its use increases the likelihood of marking the canvas, which is quite light coloured. I've just come to that conclusion after a short-lived trial application of neatsfoot oil. Its almost impossible to apply solely to the leather, without straying onto canvas-land too...

If the mink 'involved' had been 100% escapees, I'd have no qualms, but I fur they aren't.

Re: leather restoration
I would hold my nose* and use mink oil, which is the most effective product of its kind I have used on leather.

Re: Is 250w enough power for modest speed up steep hills
Thanks all, that's helpful information. I'm looking at previous year models from the bigger brands rather than Chinese direct to consumer brands, and £1000-1200 or so, which should get her Momentum, Cannondale and so on at maybe 18kg +/- I hope.

Re: Is 250w enough power for modest speed up steep hills
Thanks. We're looking at a light (relatively) e bike for my wife for shortish (say up to 25-30 miles) rides. Would a 250Wh Battery be sufficient for a light rider over generally flat terrain? I'm keen to keep the bike as wieldy as possible as she will be moving away from a lightweight hybrid.Carlton green wrote: ↑29 Mar 2024, 4:04pmThe answer is yes; of course the bike’s power train, from motor shaft to driven wheel, needs to be appropriately geared.Bonefishblues wrote: ↑29 Mar 2024, 3:50pm 23 pages and some hundreds of posts later is the answer yes?

Re: Sweage Releases Into Rivers
Feargal has been crusading on this for years, as have I in my own very small way. OFWAT has failed in its Statutory Duty - that's the bare fact. As to why, then that gets murkier, like most outfalls from STWsPsamathe wrote: ↑28 Mar 2024, 1:23pmThames Water is getting interesting given their dividend payments, debt and not investors demanding a massive bill increase, in effect customers paying for their failings and dividends. Even where we are now (40% bill increase demand) is going to stir up a lot of ill-feeling through their region even though OFWAT has refused the increase. If it were my decision I'd be fining them for every illegal sewage release until they go bust, let the Gov. buy the company for £1 and keep it under public ownership. I'd be doing that for every water company. None of this "temporary nationalisation" the Gov. are mentioning as a possibility.
Feargal Sharkey was very good in his TV appearances yesterday - knew his stuff (facts), presented them in a clear balanced concise manner, allowed the "other party" to have their say un-interrupted and then countered it with clear, simple fact.
I feel like writing to the water company covering my area asking for the money I paid for sewage disposal to be refunded as they have not been doing what I've been paying them for. Every moderate rain and people have sewage in their gardens (not mine). Been happening since I've lived here (15+ years) and water company never investigates as tiny village into ditches into small river so no monitoring guages.
