Any cycle infrastructure on the A584 at all? There is a shared path from preston upto the A584/583 junction, but from the traffic lights there is just a white line at the edge of the road all the way to Freckleton/Lytham. There are some intermittent footpaths but otherwise the only way is to figure...

My other gotcha to be avoided is forgetting your password for the GWR tickets site and not being able to reset it when the temp' password included a symbol I couldn't find on my phone. Ended up booking by phoning Cross-country. I think you can request more than once for a "reset" password...

A couple of jubilee clips should fix it.

Me too.

Age thing. Mind you, some older people get a sweeter tooth as they get older.

any shimano MTB chainset with HTII type BB can work on a 73mm wide BSC threaded BB shell.
cheers

I presume that square taper chainsets and cartridge BB's are still available if preferred ?

If I remember Mick you don't like Garmin's - "Connect" program. I use it as a base for recording, storing rides and other parameters such as heart rate etc. I have it linked to Strava which other people, who I choose , can see my rides. But as Paulatic says you just lock it for your own us...

I had one similar but it was actually fitted on the teeth of the ring.
Never realised what it was for. Just thought it was some form of protection.

Oh well! Thanks for the replies.
Have to keep taking the tablets then.

If you have an athletic heart would that lead to high blood pressure ?
Read through the links but not found an answer.

Is the BB shell threaded ? If it isn't threaded then it is a "press fit" type. You can measure across the faces of the shell and there are generally two sizes. 68mm - which is now the standard road size. 73mm - meant for MTB chainsets. Both have different chainlines and can effect which ch...

From Facebook:- A guy parked his bike at Rye, East Sussex, and went for a walk. When he returned to his bike he noticed something taped under the bike. It was a small tracker. He took the tracker to his local police station in Eastbourne. The police said its a gang from Lithuania who find high value...

Is it just the bars are too low?
If they were higher would that help?

I must confess to feeling sorry for any unfortunate soul who agonizes over how far they might or might not have travelled, as I also feel sorry for anyone who downloads after rides or who updates to a new version of whatever software they are using on whatever goddamn fangled device they might have...

I used the free Openstreet map downloaded from their website with guidance from the DCrainmaker site. There is also "Talkytoaster" who can supply free maps or they sell preloaded SD cards suitable for Garmins:- https://talkytoaster.me.uk Help from Talkytoaster on this page:- https://talkyt...

Is there a way of re-calibrating to account for wheel size ?
