Should work to attach any handlebar mounted lamp.
Or take a piece of PVC pipe the right diameter and drill a hole in it, bolt this to the rack and put your light on the pipe.

I took your advice on the PVC pipe, but instead of PVC pipe I cut a length of broom handle and drilled a hole through it to attach to the hoop.

Thanks

Hi folks, I hope someone can help me. I am looking for a light that will bolt on to the top on my Tortec Expedition rack. It has a plate at the top of the hoop with a hole (as you can see in the pic) for attaching a reflector, I think. but I would like to attach a light instead. I don't have room on the bars due to my bar bag.

Thanks George

It is relatively slow as you have to take care under some bridges as well as negotiating the dog walkers. It does trak the a6 so you can always join the traffic for a bit at any stage. From car forth it heads through undulating limestone country before crossing the Kendal drumlins field. These are very picturesque but more testing than blasting along the a6. Personally I like the NCR but lejoggers would tend to opt for the a6 which is not overly busy on this stretch.

I was on the inaugural cycle ride from Lancaster to Kendal back in 2001 (have cycled it a few times since) - Canal towpath is hard gravel, well worth the effort.

I think one could reasonably call it a 'single lane dual carriageway'. As such, the speed limit is 70mph.

I was under the impression that the speed limit on a dual carriageway was 60mph unless otherwise stated - at least that was the correct response when I passed my driving test in 1992.

At one of the hotels I used to work I met Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman - she used the leisure club attached to the hotel in the Lakes.
At another hotel where Iworked I met Brian Clough, Gazza, the Liverpool Team (1989). Ray Reardon, John Virgo and all the cast of Eastenders (I lived in Borehamwood at the time).

Question for you. When did you buy the set?

Under the 'sale of goods act' goods supplied must be as described and fit for purpose, therefore you are entitled to a replacement or refund as the goods are not fit for purpose.

I thought that the contractors/farmers/council have a legal obligation to ensure that the road is swept and cleared of debris after hedge trimming etc.

I bought mine here: http://www.cyclo-randonnee.fr/porte-bag ... r-890.html

There are detail pics further down the page.

I would think that SJS have made a mistake on the price. Up to you if you want to take advantage of it or put in a query to them first.

I was looking for a new rack and have just taken advantage of this offer from SJS. At £15.20 including p+p it was too good an offer to refuse.

I work as a receptionist in an hotel and the silliest question I recieved was from an actress from London, when she was up here in the Lake District filming for an episode of Poirot. She asked me if she needed to dial the international code to phone London.
