Within the last few years and decades, us first-worlders have racheted up our standards of living & comfort to levels never seen before in human history. It becomes ever more clear how unsustainable these standards have become. Alas, the rachet holds firm as few seem able adapt to more modest li...

Point noted. I'll remember this next time it happens.

In the meantime, if anyone needs to contact the seller about this, then please PM me and I will pass it on.

How does the transmission get on with all that power to deal with ?

The seller requested that it be removed from public view. I think he got a bit annoyed by some of the replies. The bike itself had a brazed on CR badge on the headtube ( I think, but it was only partially visible in one of the photos provided. ) I don't know why he didn't just provide a photo of that.

Reflective tape + warning cones + road-marking spray . . . . . .

Thanks for that ( all ) there are many solutions. My focus upon the JUNIOR sagging is merely a rationalisation for getting a new saddlebag. :oops: Some years ago I had a Bagman on test, ( thanks CJ ), and the result was a pert and well-uplifted saddlebag. However, I'll be sticking with the Carradice...

I've used a Carradice Junior saddlebag for many years. despite the SQR uplift it always seems a bit saggy, such that the mid-point at the bottom is only just clearing the mudguard. A couple of sample roof tiles, carried on one occasion, managed to abrade some holes in the canvas . . . Silly me. I've...

Using the lecky kettle is a very inefficient method of heating water for domestic hot water. That depends on lots of things, how much, how frequent and what you compare it too. I have an electric shower and can also use it to fill the Bathroom sink. I use the kettle for everything else. It's consid...

I think it would be highly desirable to charge ONLY for the amount of fuel used. The current Standing Charge would be bundled into the price per kWh. It would / should concentrate everyone's attention on efficient energy usage. High users would pay MORE. Low users would pay LESS. Average users would...

The siting of that pole is ridiculous and negligent. It reminds us all of UK car-culture myopia : - Everything for the convenience of the motorist and everything to protect them from doing the dumb things that they tend to do. . . . However, the difficult- to-position roadsign can just sit in the mi...

^ Checking the compatibility of the Lidl RIGID (front) light mount versus the flexy RUBBER light mount . . . . . This is not looking compatible. I wonder if anyone has both and can comment ? Hi, the width of the [RIGID] mount at the top section is approx 17.5mm and the length of the rail is approx 3...

I used my recently-purchased Lidl front for the first time yesterday. + Rather good light pattern + Sufficient light for anything except v.fast downhills - The rubber-band mount is a bit wobbly - seems secure enough, but light-beam jumping about on rough surfaces This is very much lighter than my LE...

The revival of this topic today 6th Nov 2019 - looks remarkably similar to the content of the original post.

Both authors providing their first post here. Well, what a coincidence !

It will be interesting to hear what Cliff's ( the O.P. ) professionals advise.

I hope that he comes back and lets us know.

I went to the NHS Pilates videos first, but found them a bit difficult to follow. . . . . exercises are often difficult to describe, even with videos alongside. https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/nhs-fitness-studio/pilates-for-beginners/ I've been attending local lessons for many months now, guided by an...
