NB. You can't do it if you live in the extreme North of Scotland either!

Whereas, Warwick Castle is quite a bit nearer to you than to me.

True

Hhhuuuuuumm. The nearest "exhibition" pub to me is 70 mile away according to google. Not sure I can do that and the other nine in 90 minutes, and keep to the speed limits.

Nice set of posts Bonniebird. Bounced right to the top of the tree.

How was the ride, first time back out?

Looks like you have to cut the back. See attached

From Haynes manual

I would have followed the red line. Were there any signs on the approach? Can you post a street view of the approach?

This is on my to do list hopefully this summer if we get one?

Then again if it gets warm we'll get bit to death by the swarms of mossy's so better it stayed somewhat cool, it's not a perfect world!!

Done those roads, not in one go, in a car and they are breathtaking.

Glad you and the bike survived. As Six30 says wait till the good weather and you can concentrate on the riding without worrying too much about the road surface.

I went out a week ago and the back moved enough for me to "clench" going round an island.

Went out today and the roads scruffy and I noticed I was being over cautious on islands and trickling round trying to keep the bike upright.

So stay off roads till they are dry and the temperature rises then you will soon get back in the swing of things.

Today's run out. Not as sunny as forecast suggested.

No alarms but can not be prised apart and bolt cropper can not be used. Could pair this with a movement alarm fitted under the seat so not affected by rain.

excellent its even better when its free

Who said its free

Put it on my tab

Sounds like a new chain is required. . Should be ok till the weekend. You need to find the tightest point and adjust there. If you adjust at the slickest point there is an outside chance if it is too tight at the tight spot it could break.

Some new goodies arrived!!!

Just waiting on the chain set

Also got another key cut yesterday

You may want to black out you address details.

If you are going to wear a cycle helmet I have seen lights which attach to the top of these. They are bright marker lamps though an would be in addition to the main running lights. They do make yo noticeable though and if you are worrying about rear lights theses would help.

I saw a bloke on his bike last week with no gloves

Crazy

Bit cold for no gloves. still when the frost bite sets in won't feel the road rash.

Well done and congrats

So , it's in and are the marigolds off?

Haynes Manual Translated...

Haynes: If not, you can fabricate your own special tool like this...

Translation: Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!

.

And yes I have had to do that a few times, welder and grinder put to good use

Although on the way home there was a clunking sound... had a check round and nothing obvious but I may be starting a new thread soon!

Fingers crossed you won't be

Note check it is a UNIVERSAL TUBE.

Gutted for you. Some scum bags about.

Wear rubber boots and rubber gloves, then when you have finished tackle the light fitting.

As a cyclist, motorcyclist and car driver it scares me when I see such arrogant idiocy by some of the cycling community.
