guess so. the front light on my UA is a Spanninga Kendo XE 6V-36V. Quite a wide voltage range!

Ha! a few years ago I got so pissed off with a spate of punctures that I looked into solid tyres... however being the cheapscate I am, instead of spending big on Tannus I bought cheap chinese imports...
OMG, I rode about 5 yards up my street & gave up. The rolling resistance - it felt like my brakes were jambed on. Had to use a jack-saw to get the buggers off!

also, a long time ago but I recall @dicki mentioning that he never used cycling shorts even on 100mile rides ... so narrow tyres are not an issue if you have a concrete bottom

Kind of agree - with that in mind I used to use Schwalbe Lugano as they felt good, were cheap & particularly easy to get on/off the rim. I now use Schwalbe Durano Plus on fixed which ride pretty well, quite puncture resistant (tempting fate here & expect a visit from the puncture fairies soon) & only a bit of a struggle to get on!
NB. i use Pick-Up's on my cargo bike

NBB. Perhaps someone who knows more about this than I should start a thread on how easy/difficult some rims are for tyre change

Ouch!
Heel up soon squire...

Meanwhile, I made it to The Toucan 50 mins behind schedule. Shame weren't more of us but nice to catch up & the Guinness went down well. Cheers for the guin/coffee - haven't tried it yet.

Did about 45miles in total today & weather was sublime. Had a visit from the slow puncture fairy a mile from home so just rode almost flat.

Cheers for a good day Al

My Urban Arrow came with an Enviolo. First one lasted about 9 months, second was better (but not much). They come with a 2yr warranty. Now on the 4th one since 2019 (not under warranty). It's the latest HD version so I'm hoping it's better ... time will tell. I was prepared to fork out for a Rohloff but it was going to mean being without my work-bike for too long so it's fingers crossed

Could people not just walk round the side of where engaged bridge is? A few yards if that

Love the rolling bridge but can't work out why? I can't imagine it's purpose

Had good report of Fixlosophy 5 River Park Rd, London N22 7TB

Received the "original" Spinner suspension forks. Do all suspension forks come with this sort of label on? It was a bit dissapointing as similar label is on the £65 forks I bought a month ago. Maybe they're a weak as each other?

Ha! wasn't till I scrolled down I realised you weren't talking about the bar at the top of the tower at the Guinness Brewery...
thought the bit about a fair old climb on a bike from Dublin was a bit odd

A couple of years ago we had a fantastic long weekend in Dublin. Loved every minute except the Guinness tour which wasn't the brewery tour we were expecting but a museum... the pint at the end - in that bar I mentioned, was rather good tho

Solid, non-suspension fork?

Guess I did well lasting over 10k miles then

and get a tracker

Yeah I'm wary with bungees, this is very slack just to stop a tarp being blown off

Advice taken, cheers

BTW I just found a quick release one in stock & ordered it

Can't remember. They've gone out with the garbage 3 weeks ago

So what should I do? If direct replacement isn't available the only option is to spend £350 on updated version + new through-hub & wheelbuild. Just spent over £400 on replacement IGH & rebuild

So far so good but haven't carried any particularly heavy loads yet! Also I've adjusted the tension to half way

It just holds a tarpaulin on when parked up overnight (the box isn't 100% watertight)

talking of Urban Arrows, my front suspension forks were so loose they were knocking. Couldn't find a service/rebuild kit. After much trawling I found original replacement forks, but they were not available & no restock date. They did have a newer version with a through axle but that was about £350! I ended up buying a cheap 20" suspension hub for £70 & I'll keep my fingers crossed. Fitted fine except I had to use a Coke can shim with carbon assembly paste for the steering rod bracket

Hmm, three years in, seems I need to work on my technique. Cheers

If I adjust the saddle on my UA to the best position for me, my toes barely brush the ground, making it a bit sketchy if I stop with a heavy load/in the wind.... anyone used a dropper seatpost on a UA? I reckon it could work well but concerned that there'll be enough swivel to get the saddle straight - the seat-tube is at one hell of an angle on UAs

anyone on here serviced a Spinner 300 suspension fork on an Urban Arrow? Can't find a service/bushings kit online. Was wondering if there was another make I could use?

^^ blimey "bike parts"
do you think they'll be rifling through pockets in case someone has a bicycle dust cap?

I was wondering whether @c.h.e. was a unidextor?
