Do you remember when the examiner jumped out in front of you for the emergency stop. He should have been paid danger money for that.

Thank you for the sensible reply. My track pump does exactly as yours does. My new gauge measures a consistent 8psi lower at the valve, which is quite a percentage at 30 psi and lower. I can put an arbitrary amount of air in to suite my riding but wondered why there was such a difference in...

I’m obviously talking to the uneducated. Some professional riders including Pidcock and Van der Poel ride on 18 and 20psi. Never had a snakebite, if I had one or two I would go with inserts. Once saw a rattler in Utah but it didn’t bite.

Like you, I use MemoryMap and also OS maps for making routes and transferring the GPX files to my phone but I would be wary of making routes on Open Street Map as not all paths are public paths or bridleways. There are some dotted tracks locally that go through peoples gardens.

So it looks like we are all doing different types of riding. I run 2.5in tubeless tyres and ride many rocky tracks. At anything over 30psi I would be bouncing all over the place and the science is that it is quicker to roll over obstacles rather than bounce over them with the tyre conforming to...

Well my two pumps and a friends read slightly different and I can’t feel the difference between 23psi and 26 psi which I want.

How do you check your tyre pressure?

Having just bought the above gauge I tested it against two track pumps and a foot pump on four tubeless tyres with presta valves. It consistently read 8psi low on the presta valves but read ok on the car valves. With pressures around 22 to 25psi this is quite an error. There are a few historic...

I fail to see how seeing a speeding driver in my mirror would have any effect on how he passes me. I can hear cars approaching from behind and I’m usually about two feet from the kerb with nowhere to go other than up on the kerb. Even if I stopped he could still run over me. I try to avoid roads...

Just to balance things up a little: last week I was on a two week MTB holiday in Dumfries and Galloway. One morning we were taking the bikes by car to our starting point along a winding B road. I came upon a group of 9 road cyclists two in the front riding two abreast and the rest in single...

Not had time to look at the video yet but me and my partner have hidden AirTags on our bikes for over a year. No problems tracking them. Also got one on the cat’s collar. We got 4 in a pack.

It's the first time I've dipped into this thread but I see what you mean. Rather than diet, I think it may be a heart failure from reading my next energy bill that gets me. Or a nuclear explosion when the Ukraine situation gets warmed up.

A friend of mine is doing exactly what you are doing on the same bike. My Bosch 753 tool for Gen 2 motors took the guard and sprocket off but they were one piece. Replacement was £104. Two bike shops and Soundwave told me that to replace with a standard flat sprocket was either not doable or...

OK thank you

The bike is a 4.0 Hardsevern and it says Sduro on the chainstay. It has a Bosch CX motor. I have found a sprocket with a 3mm offset can this be used with an ordinary chain guard screwed up to the offsett collar? These are £15 and £24 and the guard can be re-used.

Whilst helping a friend remove the Bosch motor sprocket from his Haibike Hardseven Sduro we found that the chain guard ring was part of the sprocket. This part is very expensive but I don’t see why we can’t fit separates which will be much cheaper. Rather than a flat sprocket like I have on my...

Yes but when eventually approached by the police the seller just says that he bought it at a car boot sale. That was the case when mine was found in Cash Convertors.

As I understood the op, that facility was disabled, so—-

Two choices, keep away from the middle of nowhere or go tubeless.

You can just turn up in SYorks so long as you behave like a car with regard to queuing and parking BUT, there are cases of pedestrians walking everywhere across the entrances and cyclists riding in by the exit because “they are not a car”. A site in the south had pedestrians walking in from...
