  Ha! There were some deep lesions but worst of it was 1 severed tendon & several severed nerves. Interestingly I discovered,if you go to a walk-in centre with a towel wrapped around your hand with blood dripping from it, you get through triage immediately!

  anyone on here use a PowUnity tracker? It seems it's the small battery in mine that has stopped working so the alarm only works if the bike is switched on! PowUnity say they're going to send me a replacement. Don't know how long it'll take or how much it'll cost

  could be worse... On 1st Dec last year (date is etched into my memory) I nearly cut all the fingers off my right hand with a table saw. Three months later I could work & ride again

  yeah that was all ok. Such a long time since I'd had the wheel out & I stupidly took the retaining nut off that holds the cable attachment piece - tried several positions but nothing worked. However Flying Dutchman Bikes sorted it out ;-D

  Enviolo/UA issue:
  can anyone on here imagine what I've done wrong please? Put back wheel back in after a puncture & now the gears won't shift. Work (stiffly) when the axle nuts are loose & can't get into highest gear ratios. I've replaced the cables just now too but didn't help

  ah, these are Pick-up tyres. Tread looks pretty good still but thinking about it they must have done about 7k miles!

  anyone else had this fail?
  Working in a road with no drop kerbs, so at the end of the day I bounced the fully loaded UA down onto the road a bit too quickly and ....... pop!
  Thought I'd given the back tyre a flat but turned out the tyre popped off of the rim. So easy fix!

  well life would still go on without a frame lock but it is useful. I only rely on the frame lock if I'm nipping into a shop & can keep my eye on the bike and having bent a spoke or two forgetting about it, I have trained myself into the habit of spinning the pedals while it's still on the stand. Anyway, it's looking increasingly like i'll have to carry a third key :(

  Thought you'd found the answer. Unfortunately t I need the older key type, "T82 Asymmetric" apparently & they don't have them in stock :-(
