splitting the ride eh? if @|³|MA3K was alive today he'd be spinning in his grave
-
no idea. that part was £11.50, duty was .19p and VAT was £35.33! that's over 24%!
-
incidentally, if anyone on here is interested in buying a PowUnity tracker, you may get a shock (like I did) when two weeks after delivery you get an invoice from UPS for £47.02, apparently for VAT, Disbursement & Duty. So it actually costs £191.92!

great pics. looks like this fella's schlepping a load of suitcases https://www.flickr.com/photos/funny_cyclist/52002135824/in/album-72177720298040846/

recently fitted a PowUnity tracker after recommendation on here. It does seem to work - every time I move off the alarm goes off in my pocket because i've forgotten to turn it off

Won't actually commit to this one as it's out wedding anniversary but it's on my doorstep so seems silly not to join in. Maybe I can talk mrs conkr into an anniversary tandem spin?

Good stuff. I only use my van about once a month. Should get rid of it really. I only use it to move my big ladders (though I could shift them using a trailer - if I had the pluck). Sothe van sits on my driveway as a storage container

Lovely day out. Cheers to @notoriousBMT for reestablishing this London classic (Oops) Cobblemonster. Was nice to see a few faces from a few years back. Cheers to @skülly and @hoefla for the good company.
-
Hmm, was aiming for 9am start but it's best part of hour & a half so...
-
so what time are people thinking of setting off. Would be nice to meet some old faces during the ride rather than at the end. Also, anyone planning on a lunch visit to the Dog & Bell in Deptford? - one of the highlights for me
-
^ scrub that! Used the link on the "Register" page for Evelina Hosp
-
Seems to be an issue (or is it me?) with the online donations page. Jumps to Virgin Money page explaining how they gave up on the charity bit in November ;-(
-
It's a bit of a schlep to the start for me so I don't mind what time, just need to plan journey. One year I seemed to be the last one out!
-
will be good to be back. Missed this. What time are any meanderers thinking of starting?
-
Also haven't (tempting providence here) had a puncture on my UA. I've had the rear wheel out when I had to swap the Enviolo hub (the 2nd one) so know how to do it. When I bought the UA the fella in the shop recommended getting a Gaddi tube to just tuck in, in situ. Haven'te tried it yet but looks more difficult than removing the wheel!
-
Bit of an "off piste" question, any recommendations for a waterproof saddle cover that is actually waterproof?
-
I'll try & contact the dealer (they won't answer the phone these days - email only!). If no good I'll try Performance Line Bearings.
Thanks for your advice -
anyone have experience of Bosch CX noises ? When I'm pedalling, sometimes it sounds like there's something swinging round and hitting the casing every few pedal revolutions. Doesn't seem to matter much about speed/weight.

re gear cables/enviolo
cheers all for the advice. all worked out ok but took about 40mins. reckon the next time will take about 15! -
would love to but friday night's are not good for me #redseapedestrian
-
Gear cable snapped on my UA yesterday. After looking through YouTube videos I've ordered replacement inner wires & a cable end gadget. Fingers crossed; it's as easy as it looks. Anyone here have any advice?
-
You are right. It surely must be possible to make them non-slip. Some of them have tarmac on them

cheers all for a reminder of how lovely it is to ride the city at night. cheers too to the forumonger who's near encyclopaedic road knowledge got us from Tower bridge to half way. Also, I think, his idea to stop at Lowlander. Crap pics her but best I can do with shaky riding & crap camera
