There is a great deal of sunshine forecast for the Pembrokeshire coast for the next week. Sadly, we will be in England tomorrow and home on Sunday.

I've been learning to play the riff from Whole Lotta Rosie.  It's not a very difficult one.

Audax / Re: Steady lights on on calendar events - resolution for AUK AGM

« Last post by bianchi boy01 on Today at 07:39:45 pm »

I have read the thread and two things appear to be clear.

1. Flashing lights are picked up earlier.

2. They are harder to judge the distance of.

The real question does not appear to have been asked.

Does this matter in the real world? Does the earlier notice reduce collisions? Or does the flashing and confusion of senses cause more?

All I know is that I have felt my brain getting muddled when in groups with multiple flashing lights and on a few occasions I have had to stop, let the group go and continue alone.

As a car driver as well I do not think the flashing lights help cyclists. Two good rear lights on steady is good and front flashing lights tend to cause confusion.

Also, what’s in the handbag that makes her so scared of it?  The OBR?  George Soros?  A camembert?

Lettuce.

Surely an attended Prime Minister represents a terrorist threat?

Khushi has bashed 53 off 31 deliveries and as I type he’s been caught at slip. Essex 62 for 1.

The Knowledge / Re: My linear-pull brake arm had jammed outboard bearing

« Last post by LittleWheelsandBig on Today at 06:41:54 pm »

Clearances are tighter with these pivots, so the brake arms don't rattle on the bosses. Dia-Compe 986 (back in the early '90s?) was about the first model of cantilever brake I became aware of that didn't pivot on the fork/ frame boss but no doubt there were earlier examples.

We have a wide range of Tektro mini-Vs here to compare. Cheap ones pivot on the boss (jam up quickly and rattle), medium models have plated steel pivots (take a little longer for dirt and corrosion to jam them) and the most expensive use SS pivots (still jam but rarely).

Well, despite fearing the worst, customer service got back to me - my keys should be mailed out next week.

I shall pause my urge to buy an angle grinder for now...
