Any question answered...

:)

That was a whinge.

"PARKLIFE!"

What windspeeds do people consider are unsafe for cycling?

The current 40mpg gusts are about my limit.

1000mph, definitely.

Depends on the direction

It's the smell that makes it unsafe.

40 is a pain on the high sided cargo bike.

Maybe one of them has discovered bit torrent?

Where would you go to hire a people carrier/mini bus for a week?

We are going away for 7 nights with 4 adults and two kids.

I have had a look on Enterprise which is coming up with £440 for 7days in a Seat Alhambra, but I feel like it might be missing a trick somewhere.

UK or Europe?

Sixt are pretty good on rates as well...

Pick up and drop off in London.
UK trip.

yes :)

...hope hub... and the end cap/reducers pass through the bearings...

This is the difference to your 9mm setup idea. You have the bearings sitting on the thru axle directly like the hope 20mm (which is stronger). But yes try it, Im interested in hearing if it works!

Me too.

Can't be too much worse than the rear where I've filed nearly an inch from the track ends so I can use the gear I want and slam dat wheel for a shorter wheelbase.

40 mpg gusts in my case...I ended up walking.

It's fine on a share cycle lane where blown about a bit doesn't get you crushed under the wheels of something, road not so much ;)

I took the sensible/cowards option of the Brompton and trains.

What are the 40 MPG that people are measuring these windy gusts in?

Sounds like more of a drinking problem than wind speed.

Miles per gust.

I've trawled the web and can't find a definitive answer, does anyone know off the top of their head what mounting system this bar bag would take? (Tilt head 90 degrees anti-clockwise for a more accurate representation)

I appear to have lost that plastic spacer that goes between the bolts that tighten a non-driveside hollowtech crank to the axle. What does it do? Do I need it?
