Re: A good ride from Sheffield into the peaks and back
The Strines Rd is indeed another good option, get to it via Burbage moor and Labybower as per the first suggestion above (it connects the a57 and the a628), then plot a loop through the numerous lanes eastwards of it via Bolsterstone / Bradfield / Dungworth. If it's reasonably dry, Wyming Brook Lane...

Re: A good ride from Sheffield into the peaks and back
A variation on the above, but presented in reverse order: Follow Abbeydale Rd to Millhouses and at some lights by a set back pub turn right up Whirlowdale Rd (no through road to cars so you cross a pavement). Up to the end then right onto Abbey Lane, left at end onto A625, plod up to the moors until...

Lower limit of a SRF3 hub
Currently I've got a bike set up with the above hub. To enable luggage carrying and use on Peak District hills the range is set up at roughly 36-48-64, but I've recently come across the efneo crank product which could potentially increase the range significantly. I'd be looking to set up with a low ...

Re: A question of priorities
Not really. The quantity of dog waste on pavements and public fields and the lack of any bleating culture in the media suggests fines aren't handed out that often. Up to £1000 doesn't add up to much if it's based on multiples of zero.

Re: Need a folder for the missus
The steering on old Raleigh 20s is OK, not that you'd come across many in France I wouldn't have thought. Braking in the rain is a different matter though ...

Re: MKS-GR9 Platform pedals
I think crudely prising them off is the only way, using an awl, fine screwdriver or corkscrew in the single small gap in the pedal body.

Re: saddle adjuster or lay back seatpost?
No idea what an account inch is, sorry about that - you let your mind wander for just a second and your phone starts making things up. Anyway, just to add that the spa products are worth a look. The nidd, at least the one I've got, isn't too hard at all even from new. It's an expensive solution if p...

Re: saddle adjuster or lay back seatpost?
A lot depends on how much layback your current post has. It might well already have 2cm or so, in which case you'd struggle to find one with enough extra to make up an account inch.

Re: Tea a relic of colonialism!!!
"It is better to just work with what people say, rather than presume this implication or that. If in doubt, you can always ask."
So you've checked with The Guardian that they really do prefer anything non-British to anything British have you Freddie?

"People are basically ready to raise fists over this," sez tea-baiter, and guess what, it turns out he's right. Isn't there a thread about stirring up wasps nests somewhere as well?

Re: Commuter Bike: a choice of 4 - any advice appreciated
I've just sold a day one with a dynamo hub after owning it for about a year. I think it's true role is the type of use you'd be putting it to (assuming decent security where you leave it all day) and think it would be a good bet. Having said that I found the Alfine setup to be decent but possibly no...

Re: Cycling 'safety' adverts
Not heard them but think it is worth complaining - there can be a fine line between adverts and lies but a cyclist - or anybody else - without hi viz is not invisible. It's basically dishonest to make this claim. Any ideas who made the ads?
