Any question answered...

Look up the safety sunglasses from people like bolle. Definite uva/b protection, high impact shatter resistance and get one that stops light coming in from the side so fits your face well to reduce eye fatigue.

These safety are supposed to be meet quite high standards of clear vision and no distortion. The website is shite on the phone.

Genuine question, why?

I need a set of replacement hoods for this Sram groupset. I believe it's Rival 1x cable. But I can't find anything online with this group listed.

Can someone point me in the right direction? thanks!

Check the model number, should be on the body under the hoods, might have a pair in the spares box for a tenner if the numbers are correct.

Genuine question, why?

Well surely they have procedures in place for sorting out cloned plates - going direct to the org responsible for the database with a crime reference number might be a good idea.

A pricy solution would be a new personalised plate. Can you request brand new non-personalised plates from the DVLA?

10 What to do if your vehicle has
been ‘cloned’

If you are being contacted about fines or charges which you are not responsible for because someone else is using the registration number for your vehicle, your vehicle
might have been cloned.
Cloning involves copying the identity of a similar (nonstolen) vehicle already on the road. Criminals find an exact make, model and colour of the car they have stolen, then
use the same registration number on their stolen vehicle to make it look legal.
If you suspect your vehicle has been cloned, the following points will help you avoid becoming a victim of further crime.

What you need to do

Contact the police so they can try to trace and prosecute the
culprit to prevent this illegal activity from continuing. 

Return any fines or letters to whoever issued them, along with any
evidence you have to prove your case. 

Write to us at DVLA, Swansea, SA99 1ZZ, giving us the crime
reference number the police gave you. We will keep a record of the
matter for future reference.

You have a sensible idea, but this I'd DVLA we are talking about. They used to be better when they had offices you could go to speak to people who were helpful.

You still get the fines through as DVLA will pass on the details. It is up to you to prove it wasn't you.

@jellybaby so DVLA won't help in the situation and with no legal requirement why would you?

Experience from having car and motorbike plates nicked, and cars plates cloned. It is a police reference number and get them to prove it was you.

My plates were on many other vehicles and DVLA still sent the fine to the registered keeper even though details of the car didn't match

Is it possible to self certify sick for 3 days before asking a doctor for 2 weeks medical leave?

You self-certify for up to 7 days initially.

There was a Campag version. I don't fancy your chances of finding one short of buying a complete hub.

What language is this and how do I type it on my iPhone?

What language is this

Some more context would help, individual orthography can be idiosyncratic.
Are you sure it's not Dutch? The Dutch digraph is U+0132 (upper) U+0133 (lower)
Uijkaij seems to be a Latynka rendering of a word in the Dakota language having the meaning "and"

Kazakh? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kazakh_alphabets

Kazakh?

Could you explain why you think that?

Some of the chars look a bit Cyrillic and the K made me think of Kazakh. Maybe the last character is a handwritten Cyrillic D? I'm not an expert on these things.

How about Serbian? Google translate says that uд'кад is 'when' in Serbian.

Some of the chars look a bit Cyrillic

Well, the UKA look like ИКА allowing for its being hand writing rather than printing, but those are the least useful clues. It's the ij (or lj if Serbian) digraph which is most likely to narrow the field, since UKA occur in most Latin based alphabets and ИКА occur in most Cyrillic alphabets

How about Serbian? Google translate says that uд'кад is 'when' in Serbian.

I've never seen Cyrillic D rendered that way. In Latin Serbian, Uljkalj gets one Google hit
