Yesterday's cycle ride in pictures... in glorious sunshine started at Cadnam, through the northern edges of the New Forest towards Canada, where we first met a traffic jam as two mum's took their offspring out for a wander and root around. On through the Wellows, past Mottisfont and then a...

Hi Flecc, Thought is stood for Fix It Again Tony :)

Living in Bournemouth and regularly cycling along the long promenade from Sandbanks to Christchurch often with wind blowing sand about, on earlier bikes i had exactly your experience with wet lubes. After failing to find GT85 much use (my earlier post) I switched to dry lube, a I do find that...

Good luck if with 50cycles, don't seem receptive to that deal when I asked. Will sell you and fit MPs but watch the price, better deals from SJS Cycles or Chain Reaction Cycles on MPs and fit yourself.

To each his own i suspect. I religiously used GT85, very frequently on our original ProConnects. First chains needed replacement after 3,500 miles. Changed lubrication to a Dry Lube (Muc Off wax one) and my wife's bike is now at 11,000 miles, so twice the distance and only beginning now to show...

With quite a collection of bikes in a 'summer house' and shed, chairperson of the committee (mrs 'O') always bans any attempts for another shed - it'll only get filled with bikes she says :)

But 1/6 of Britain's worker do not have the fate of another 149 people in their hands when they slam them into a mountainside at 450 mph with the absolute certainty that all will die. You have to look at the job and consider the risk. Good post Dave.

Think they currently have a 18 month interest free deal on.

Do you get the feeling that YOU are the traffic calming especially ifyou cycle defensively by maintaining road position and not cycling in gutters. I know we have similar ones around Bournemouth and I feel like I'm being used as a moving traffic calming measure at times. Bournemouth also use...

Hi all, Just got Mrs 'O' a new Kalkhoff Tasman, which comes fitted with a 21 tooth sprocket and 38 tooth chain ring which gives her low gears she'll probably not use, and it would be better to have some higher gears to allow input at speeds over about 18mph e.g. When she's downhill with a...

Osho How did you get on having the links removed? How many did you get removed and where do the wheel nuts now sit in the dropout. I'm interested because I have just got my wife a Tasman, and compared with her ProConnect the gearing is a bit low with the as supplied 38 tooth front chainring and...

As John said, That explains it ! If 50cycles fitted the sprocket they should have done the chain as well!! As d8veh says it's not hard to remove links. I also noted that my wife's Tasman has a 'split' link fitted which is even easier, altho' I don't use them on my other bikes, just a continuous...

Osho Very recently I also purchased a Tasman for my wife which is ultimately to replace her 2008 ProConnect which has done 11,000 miles and still going well. Just had look at the Tasman and the wheel nuts are at the front end of the dropout, so there's PLENTY of adjustment available for when...

Cannot believe grease/paint between chain pins and rollers would contribute to the amount of stretch Osho is talking about. To suggest this could be a link's worth is unbelievable. Agree with JohnCade that the chain was too long to start with and if the wheel nuts were already as far back as...

Well done! Enjoy your new bike. I'm wating to hear back from pro-cycling-golla re panasonic controller. Did you just order direct on-line?

See your listing for rebuild has ended on eBay with a best offer accepted. Hope you got a good price for it. Best regards. Mike

Thanks Simon

Simon When you were rewiring the controller on your rebuild you posted...."I have also emailed the German parts suppliers so fingers crossed..... Many thanks." Can you let me have the email address of the German supplier (pro cycling golla I think) as I want to contact them regarding replacing...

Simon Can you let me have the email address of the German supplier (pro cycling golla I think) as I want to contact them regarding replacing the panasonic controller on my wife's 2008 Kalkhoff ProConnect. Thanks
