Trying to find the quickest way to get a Woods/Dunlop valve in NW10/NW2, today if possible - I am assuming the sort of bike shop chains that are more likely open on Sundays (eg halfords) wouldn't tend to have these?
Thanks -
I think I’m being paged because of my MG5 which is a great car, very happy with it and we’ve managed it with 3 kids, which requires a bit of creativity to fit the right car seats, but possible (all in isofix).
We had space for all 5 of us plus camping kit for 2 weeks, and it was tight, but possible. The newer models have roof bars and bigger battery than ours but we’ve only rarely had issues with range… hope that’s an informative recommendation @inchpincher? -
Yes, exactly - should have clarified that! I've decided to try to bodge something from a Babboe rain tent which was on ebay for £39... will be too small, but I can figure something out to make it work I reckon

I'm looking for a raincover that will fit a bakfiets long - am I best off taking my chances on the customs, inevitable delays, etc ordering from Europe (is this Kidscab one legit?or is there somewhere in the UK to get reasonably? They are £442 from London Green Cycles, which seems a bit excessive!
Would be very happy for a used one, but they don't seem to come up on ebay... or a DIY job if it actually fits and is waterproof... -
Looking for one of these followme tandem trailers if anyone is selling (or willing to lend):

forgot about that thread! everyone needs a crankset to dispense their toilet roll right? ;P
I was thinking more on the practical angle though... maybe I am once again extending myself beyond my engineering knowledge!!@Rodolfo - still here, still cycling, but mostly just functional with 3 little ones... and I still have the GT EDGE Aero (3 house moves later!) waiting for the end of it's paint job... someday we'll all have that satisfaction!

Is there a thread/sub-forum for building non-bike things with bike parts?
I have done a few projects using bits from my spare parts bins, and I'm curious about what others have done. I have always felt like used bike bearings (from headsets, BBs, even wheels) are pretty good value large diameter bearings with decent tolerances for building simple machines. I'd love to see any inspiration for things like:- wood lathe (maybe even treadle or pedal powered?)
- etching press
- drum sander
- bandsaw
- Fruit crusher
I'm sure there are other projects/hacks that would be interesting too, just a few that came to mind!

Thanks - I guess I really should have checked the Halfords site more thoroughly first then!
