Never understand councils, where I lived before years ago the local council decided to close the local tip on Sundays (busiest day) and employed an outside security company to keep people away? No doubt costing more than the previous council workers. Then all the rubbish was dumped further up...

Hm.... I got ripped off then, bought mine for £70!

yes I have noticed that on a few occasions from "classic cars".

reminds me of when someone was complaining at work of a number two left in the toilet, a colleague replied to him "was it your reflection!" ;)

I can agree, shock load. When long ago removing the rear hub from a metro car I tightened up the extractor gave it a tap and the whole lot shot across the garage hitting the wall. Again at work trying to separate a large fiber glass mould and component all attempts to separate with wedges...

Quite agree. There was a place I used to practice when I competed in motor cycle trials. I came past one day in the car to see a guy laying on the ground I turned around to investigate and found him on his own lying there with a second knee joint halfway down his shin. I had to call for the...

annoyingly think I should have one but am going to give it a miss. ;)

I think they call that a qd................

Once bitten twice shy, surely. Unfortunate to learn the hard way. I count myself "lucky" I came to this website 3 months before I bought anything and in that time I learnt a lot from the long term members here and those as unfortunate as the op.

..........done 10,000 fair weather miles with one of those. I`d hazard a guess the mother in law will be a fair weather rider as well. I`ll add that my next mile stone is 12,427.424 miles just to keep the enthusiasm going.

Comparison chart wrong then. That sort of thing drives me nuts.

I`ve now done 10,000 miles with my DNP freewheel (hub motor). As saneagle says oil it. I had to do the same with the sturmey archer 3 speed on my Raleigh twenty when that became stuck.

forks look shite, never seen painted stanchions before and paint worn off and never been anywhere!

There`s a sign on the shed saying "cycle squad" can`t read the rest. Probably where they put all the confiscated or stolen bikes. Looks like maybe official paper work in the zip tied plastic bags. Also noticed some bikes with police written on the front forks. who knows........

Yes some assistance on all the time as am 73 now and it gets me back to where I was about 15 years ago. But I rarely use the higher assist levels and never the highest even up the 17% hill on my return home. All leisure miles. Hub is a Woosh Bafang SWX02 code 16? 48v. Bought Nov 2019? (I think)...

9,830 miles so far with mine (hub motor) by feeding copious amounts of 3-in One oil à la saneagle.

Reminds me of an amusing story?! Many years ago at work I had a visitor to see how I was getting on with his project. On meeting me he said "I know I know I have no Eye brows" in an embarrased tone, then proceeded to tell me of his struggle to light his BBQ. He said he squirted more BBQ fuel...

Did the mirror actually hit you? I only do leisure riding and have over time found local routes that avoid those type of roads as above. I'm too frighten to do that sort anymore. But I'm still amazed at how many near misses drivers are prepared to take on the roads/lanes I use.
