@pdlouche might as he was doing stickers for awhile there... https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/373804/

If you find it a few mm out, you could always raise the saddle holder-jobby (pentaclip?) as there's easily 5mm of adjustable height on the top of the seatpost

Someone previously suggested uberbike in this thread. I ordered some (shimano pads) but have yet to fit them so I can't comment on quality. Yours will be under here I guess?

Thanks but I'm regrettably not London/UK based any more...

It seems I managed to lose 3 of the 5 chainring bolts on my brompton, before the whole drivetrain came to a grinding halt. Could anyone tell me if there's anything specific about the Brompton chainring bolts before I try and source them from my non-Brompton-dealer lbs?

See the bikes for small people thread. Literally just mentioned this week...

Ah, sorry, @dadbike installed shifter AND deraileur so might not be in the same situation as you...

Perhaps support the forums own @Hulsroy with a very fetching bottle cage and bidon? https://www.stayercycles.com/product/hulsroy-bottle-cage/

Might be worth posting this in the cargo bike thread?

Thingiverse if you've got access to a 3D printer or want to use an online service...

@cake?

Kind of but it's painful as the underground root system seems so much wider... I've eradicated bamboo from the garden but bindweed just keeps reappearing because it comes in from my neighbour. Like JWestland, I dug all the roots out of my garden but the side of my garden that borders my neighbour just keeps getting more. I just pull it out at ground level and it stays in check...

While glyphosate is probably the way to go if you want chemicals, I have had lots of success in removing bamboo by just allowing it to shoot up and then cut it back to the ground before the leaves unfurl. The plant needs photosynthesis to survive and will die off in a year or so as it runs out of energy... Minimal effort and no potentially harmful chemicals to have to deal with. Obviously if you want to keep some part of it then this won't work as the underground network of roots will provide food to any offshoots.
There was also a video about this method posted in this thread not too long ago...

FWIW I brought petrol onboard in an MSR fuel tank without issue, just sitting in a normal bottle holder on the bike. Neither the Irish or French staff seemed to have any interest. This was last September. Maybe the UK port staff/brexit might take more interest though.

Can I ask what you did in the end? I'm in the same boat, multiple pensions in £ from my time in London but now live in Ireland. Had always assumed I'd just take the full sum when it comes time and transfer to € but I'd not factored in Brexit...

As expected, the ferries should be absolutely fine... We had no hassle taking a bullitt on board last year (Brittany Ferries).
I have no experience of trying to get a cargo bike on a train but trains and bikes in general are a pain in my experience of trying to take a touring bike on board. But there's always a way! For me it was using (slow) regional trains rather than high speed alternatives unless you're willing and able to dis-assemble and wrap/disguise the bike. I would guess that the smaller the cargo bike, the easier a time you will have but every train operation will have their own size limitations.

Not sure how that helpful all that is but I guess the tldr is that the internet is correct, do it!

SJS have up to £125 off last years C-line bikes if that's of help? It was enough to tempt me into finally getting one... I shudder to think about import fees to the states though as I got stung for almost €500 just to bring it into Ireland :'( fuck Brexit!

Worth posting in the kids/small frames thread? https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/334778/newest/

Need to get replacement feet for some bullit kickstands

Also @cake
I saw these from M_A_X's link on the previous page. I never even thought that people might be printing their own...

Any updates? The Puffin thread reminded me of your canal boat exploits...

The nearest I can think of is Skull where people are trying to out bid people but that has nothing to do with (general) knowledge.

I've been enjoying Josh Reids videos of his time on TCR this year. He's currently posted as far as CP3...

Frank is on the final parcour! Looks like he'll miss the start of the party but depending upon how Juris Skrebels (146) gets on, Frank might be in for a shot at last one in before midnight/end of the party. Go Frank!

.

Given the organisers are the ones limiting what can be used to cross into Bulgaria, you'd think they might tell the riders that one of their approved options is no longer viable!

Ugh, that's going to be an unpleasant surprise at 9 o clock at night with no ferry until the morning at one of the other locations
