Cats like patterns... Pick the the thing up, drop a treat for it, and then put it down. It'll then tolerate being picked up because it remembers the happy finish. --- Top-loading carriers are best - pick the thing up, drop a treat into the carrier then put the cat in it - it'll be fixated on...

Have you seen these handlebar extensions? You can get gear shifters with the levers underneath the handlebar, rather than on top. You'd be able to "stack" them under the brake levers. If Tourney is an MTB derailleur then any MTB gear shifter should work (they have same "pull").

Fleabay - Brake lever barrel adjuster

Your one looks quite useful - especially for Chinese-built hub-motored wheels with heavy-gauge spokes: 5 IN 1 SPOKEY SPOKE BIKE TOOL ADJUSTER 13 GAUGE 14G, 15G NIPPLES + 2 SCREWDRIVER

I use a Spokey 3.25mm... Spa Cycles - Spokey 3.25/3.40 the circular hole is really useful for orientation (quarter-turn hole left, half-turn hole right, etc) You'll need to fathom which size to buy - depending on your existing spoke nipples.

Brilliant idea. Motorised chromalloy or alu/carbon "analogue"

Not really sure anyone is really trying to help you so far Have you tried using lower tyre pressures? Might help float through the sand. Tubeless tyres might be the answer.

There is a bullsh!t-baffles-brains thing going on here. My notes: Single-pistoned disc-brakes: 1. AVID BB7s are single-pistoned cable-disc-brakes (SJS GBP69.99) Cable Double-pistoned disc-brakes: 2. TRP Spyre are double-pistoned cable-disc-brakes for road bikes (short-pull brake levers)...

An ill-tempered response - excused - perhaps - by your recent hospital visit. What sort of headset/handlepost does your Argos folder have? Is it threaded - like a Dahon, or A-headset style like my Dawes? If an A-headset style then upgrading it with a standard-steerered 100mm fork would be...

Are you absolutely convinced that a front suspension fork is really required on a folder? Surely fitting a 50mm wide tyre - such as Swallow Big Apple or Swallow Big Ben - and perhaps running tubeless - would provide necessary shock absorption? Also - a carbon fork would remove some of the...

DAWES Jack. Note that this bicycle uses mostly standard bicycle parts - such as an A-Headset fork-steerer-tube and the handle-post uses an A-Headset clamp. (Unlike Dahon threaded fork-steerer.) The supplied chromoly fork had 74mm spacing. I bought an A-Headset carbon fork with 100mm spacing on...

I hand-built some wheels for my folder by fitting a carbon fork with 100 mm spacing and using MTB hubs along with wide rims and appropriate spokes (Halo BMX); I went 32 spokes on the front and 36 on the rear. This was to fit 10-speed instead of 7-speed and also use disk brakes. SJS - 20 inch...

You're probably right. However, the cyclist didn't practice good roadcraft, demonstrated by the clue-less and care-free pedestrians having to jump out of the way in every direction, in order to clear themselves from the rider's path. The IAM (Institute of Advanced Motoring) advises motorists...

Trident Triple Action personal Alarm - Noise, uv dye, stink GBP8.99

I wonder if it would be possible to make a diy heat-proof charging enclosure using a wire basket (shopping basket, trolley, etc) lined with fire bricks.

If two people walk into each other @ say 2.5 mph - they'll just bounce off each other and remain standing, no harm done, sorries all round. If two people run into each other @ say 5 mph - they'll bounce off each other and probably fall over and get bruised. Ouch. Footballers. If I cycle into a...

Looks like school going-home time. Younglings are concentrating on going home. Your bike is silent, they weren't aware of you. They were in the wrong but you were going too fast. You should have antipated the movement and been prepared to stop. Beep your horn at the wrong people and they'll...

Debunked - Lift Battery Fire Apparently happened in China during 2021. The battery got hot whilst charging in the man's flat. He was using the lift to go to the ground floor and take it outside to cool-down. I reckon he hadn't let it cool down enough before charging - an error people with...

Todmorden is a town in the Pennines. The enclosing hills have very steep slopes, however, most of the habitation of the town and surrounding townships/villages is on the flat. Really several machines are required: One for family duties - shopping, kindergarten, and errands - hub-driven...

Buy two SKS Veloflex 65 and use the second rear one on the front.
