its way longer than it should be tho i guess it is because it fits all frame sizes.

it just looks so much better and less cluttered when the rest will be removed.

at least now i will be able to put my stem on the right way round not that it makes much difference tbh as it is flat anyway just the screen mount will not fit other wise.

tho first time i opened the box and seen the cable out should have been at the top

Wrap/coil the spare cable up at the motor end and cable tie it together.

Don't be tempted to just push it into the frame and leave it, as sooner or later it will work it's way out.

Interesting tip regarding wrapping the cable around the bars.. Mine is done like this and I have found it mildly annoying when trying to clip the 2 hope lights onto the bars by getting the mounts under the cable..
Now I know why it is done this way I shall be more appreciative of it!!

i can get it that sort of position just i will have to cut the seat post clamp in half and use some cable ties to hold it on and drill 4 holes in it 4 them.

tho tbh i dont like any rear mud guards

If you were marooned on a desert island with your bike, and you could have one more thing what would it be?
A bag of Cable Ties?

I'm not working on Wednesday and was half thinking of venturing back down to the S/D, but as you say the clay there plays havoc.

Not sure that even I want a repeat of this, which as you know is pretty typical of riding there when things get wet and sticky. This was also the day that I decided that my SD guided tours idea was never going to work.

Pretty much how my last ride up there ended, ripped off one of my mucky nutz clone guards and made a total mees of both sets of pads.

Now there is a very familiar tale. I recall that on this Wiggle ride on the SD, that many riders were busy just throwing mudguards away.

Not on the above occasion, but I'm another that has had a mudguard ripped off the bike.

I still can't decide whether to head down there or not tomorrow. My knee still actually isn't that great, so I might just potter around my local playground for an hour or so, and just save my self for the mtb ride to Eastbourne on New Years Day.

The Lord Croft was not at home for visitors



The furthest hill is Wapley Hill and Fort, weather permitting that will be my next trip



360 degree view from the top of Croft Ambrey. The post features in the next three photos, it is an impressive view. Clear as a bell today



Spring is on the way

[D8ve]

Nelson?

 

[Trevormonty]

Nelson, I wish.

Wellington harbour, taken from Mt KauKau.

At this time of year the photo should be of KauKau from boat, while catching snapper. Luckily I now have Cube to ride while waiting for better boating weather.

Would you advise a mechanical nomdeplume to try it?
