does it do the same thing if you pull on the cable directly (i.e. by hand at the shifter)?

No

"the shifter is doing something odd (like two upshifts for one push). "

That's exactly what it's doing. All components are 10 speed 105 current models

The change is delayed and then jumps two cogs suddenly and noisily with enough force to almost dislodge my foot from the pedal. Changing down one and up one gets into the skipped gear with no chain noise (one down to get into the missed gear and one up to put in clicks back in sync with the cassette). The lever appear to work OK, clicking once when the chain skips two.

This has appeared on numerous forums over the years but my 10 speed 105 (5701) derailleur skips over cogs on the cassette when moving up through the gears, left to right when seen from behind.

I've checked a lot of articles, forums, videos etc but no one seems to have answer.

To be clear the derailleur, shifters, cassette, chain and Teflon coated cables and sleeves are all new out of box, gear hanger is straight, checked with Park tool and rear end is straight. All cables are routed correctly.

Has anyone found a solution? Or is this a design / quality control issue?

Thanks, looks like a cheap replacement too

I've been given a set of tektro 539 calipers. The only problem with them is the the hex key recess on centering screw on the rear calipers is rounded. Does anyone know if these are available as a replacement part or the size of the screw?

It would be worth contacting the council again and asking what powers they exercised in widening the existing path. They don't have the right to extend a path with out reference to the law. From the look of the path it was created by increasing the width of an existing path. Section 65 and 66 of the 1980 highway act gives powers to alter levels of part of the highway, needed for the installation of the kerb line of the cycle path other sections can be used to exclude vehicles from parts of the highway (this may be under a different act, possibly RTA). These powers can be exercised by council officer under delegated powers and would not generate a tro. If a delegated decision has been made then the path is a cycle track (cycletrack orders are only needed for conversion of footpaths, without going into the difference between footway and path). Section 34 of the road traffic act makes it an offence to park on a cycle track. If there is no delegated decision demand to know why as the council has ac ted illegally by placing a structure in the highway

Try asking the council for a copy of the decision for the construction of the extension to the path, use a foi request if they try to fob you off, although any request for such a document should be regarded as an foi request.

Have look at LTN 2/04 and cycling England's Cycle Schemes and Legal Procedures report

Why should the horse rider be excused because he'd had a shock. Surly the main point of concern is that this person was sitting on a large, unpredictable animal he couldn't control? If this was any other class of highway user people would be calling for them to be banned as a danger to others. If Ford (other makers of tin boxes are available) were to introduce a car with an AI engine management system that randomly over rode the throttle and steering would it be allowed on the road?

I've got a rear set from the mid nineties. They've proved to be hard wearing. I usually use them with a rucksac liner or more lately with individual water proof bags.

I have changed the top clips to ortleib ql1s, needed to use bottle boss bolts to accommodate the extra depth but works well and they can be removed using one hand. They also fit racks with bigger tubes

The "forgotten" track alongside Durham Road in Sunderland isn't forgotten, it's just been rendered useless by changes to road junctions over the years. It could probably be made useable fairly easily but would still dump a user onto one is f the busiest roads in the city

I think not.

I think so - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/ ... olice.html

"Mr Goodwill reiterated guidance from 1999, when fixed penalties for cycling on pavements were first introduced, which states that the goal is not to penalise “responsible cyclists”."

Haven't successive home secretaries said that riding on a footway, while illegal, should be ignored unless an accident happens or the riding is dangerous or wreckless?

Anyone else read this?

It appears that Mapmechanics is a company providing gis logistical support and there's no mention of it on their website

At the time of typing I cannot find any other source than the mail

"The TSRGD only give effect to a prohibition on driving/riding a vehicle other than a pedal cycle in the lane. They don't prohibit parking there."

Section 12 (3) (a - e) gives the circumstances in which a vehicle may enter a mandatory cycle lane -

"(2) Subject to sub-paragraphs (3) to (5), the marking conveys the requirement that a vehicle, other than a pedal cycle, must not be driven, or ridden, in the cycle lane during the cycle lane’s hours of operation (which may be all the time).

(3) Sub-paragraph (2) does not prohibit a vehicle from crossing into the part of the carriageway reserved for pedal cycles, or straddling the marking, if it is safe and necessary to do so—

(a)in order to pass a stationary vehicle;

(b)to enable the vehicle to enter, from the side of the road on which it is proceeding, land or premises adjacent to the length of road on which the line is placed, or another road joining that road;

(c)due to circumstances outside the control of the driver;

(d)in order to avoid an accident; or

(e)for the purpose of complying with any direction of a constable in uniform or a traffic warden."

Anything not in this list is, therefore, an offence and that would include parking or stopping in a mandatory cycle lane
