Same company I imagine though my link concerns a chain lube...whatever...it's a great product.

The stuff I now use has been developed for use on bikes and comes in a spray-on bottle. The same company have a lube for motorbike chains which is highly regarded. My experience is the same as yours in that even in very muddy conditions all parts sprayed with the lube remain free from muck and...

That's a really good tip so here's something in kind. When I was in the business of working on other people's bikes I became really frustrated at having to clean their transmissions before being able to do the job. Picking out a pound of grit from the rear cogs was not my idea of a good time...

Well... talk of being unduly optimistic... The EU already gives the UK funds using its "Less favourable area scheme" to subsidise UK agriculture. Scotland which has 85% of its agricultural land classified as "Less favourable" receives only 16% of this money.....so is it reasonable to suppose...

Most spokes which break do so because of fatigue and that is a result of not being properly tensioned. The spokes may have been brought up to the correct tension when the wheel was built but unless the spokes have been de-stressed when this was done inevitably some may loosen and in time break...

God help us.....such an attitude is responsible for us being in this shitty mess in the first place. Most people here have little concern with the issues which shape their lives and are ignorant of politics. This of course makes them vulnerable to all of the lies propagated by the UK press who...

Yes..............it's a pity that this was not recognised during the Scottish Independence Referendum when the BBC suppressed and distorted the news to favour the Unionist cause....even to the extent of stitching different videos together.

From the Miele website. "Miele Quality For more than 100 years it has been a proven adage that you can trust Miele and rely on our appliances. We are the only manufacturer in our branch of industry to test products such as our washing machines, tumble dryers, dishwashers and ovens to the...

Not sarcasm....self-deprecating humour.........why assume otherwise? You're not likely to see the built-in obsolescence but the thickness of the s/s used in the drum is calculated to give a life of 7/8 years. There is or was a website run by a pro repair man who gave a meticulous run-down on...

I have it on good authority that they were using this machine to launder concrete paving slabs. This had worked well for 24 years but then one hose developed a minor leak.....seriously.

Miele if you can afford it. Their appliances are designed to last twenty years as opposed to the built-in obsolescence of other makes.

I've used a mains-powered one from Aldi for years and it cost £14 at the time. It lasted many, many years and was used for many jobs....cutting s/s was one of them and it served to repair a huge number of bikes.

Not a clue Sweetpants.....have you googled it?

No....I don't believe that at all. There are places which teach Dowsing and they do say that anyone can do it though I've tried and failed miserably. That said my friend did attend one and was successful. He tells the story of visiting a friend who lived in a steep-sided Scottish Glen and...

No....people voted for it not from any logical reason or after any mature consideration of the facts. Their decision was was motivated by emotion...which is the case with most human beings....but in this case the emotion was engendered by misleading and inflammatory propaganda in the press...

I get so tired of hearing this as in Scotland we voted over 60% to remain and since then all protestations have been ignored. To make it worse the effects of Brexit are likely to be worse here than elsewhere given our export trade, however this is difficult to quantify as the conclusions of a...

Well.........having myself experienced a healer using dowsing to diagnose my injuries I have to disagree. After forbidding me to say a word he used a pendulum and correctly diagnosed injuries I had suffered in the Army thirty-odd years ago and without a word or question to me. I'm not a...

Errrrm..OK....... "Few industries face greater direct impact from Brexit than agriculture and Scottish farmers warn that their sector is already fragile. The net income from the agriculture industry in Scotland dropped from £837m in 2013 to an estimated £667m in 2015. Nearly three-quarters of...

Whatever makes dowsing possible....describing it as "magic" can only obscure rather than enlighten in my opinion.
