Planes Bikes and Automobiles

don’t they make bendy bikes, like the buses used to be

One things for certain, the leccy ain’t goin through there!!

Lift it over?

Lift a leccy? that’s a big ask for a pensioner, and such remote locations are no place for a wobbly :grin:

Yeah you’re probably right. Best not to push your luck…or the bike.

Goin leccy today, to the park, easy riding.

Attach a longer mains lead to it then you can go further afield.

I have ample power Currently

Come across a design defect yesterday, with two carrera’s in the van, if the handlebars are at the same height and being so wide, they foul each other in the front of the van then, the rear mudguard on the pedal power one has the rear mudguard bracket on the saddle pillar, exactly where the restraint clip needs to be so, it’s one bike in one bike out at the moment, goin to do the swap now.
See the clip on the seat post is being prevented from sliding down by the mudguard bracket so the rail cannot engage at the side of the van.

Goin to raise the handlebars on the peddler by 100mm and raise the bracket keeps on the van by 50mm, job done.

the leccy is in a happy place pre the modification

Just got back from Sutton Park on the leccy, Sutton Park Is about 2400 acres (or 3.5 - 3.75 sq miles) with a perimeter of seven miles, right in the center of it was this abandoned

Who ever left that there would have had to walk a mile and a quarter to get out of the park :laughing:
and another thing, on yesterdays ride, there was a tunnel under a trunk Road to preserve the integrity of the public footpath, it is two to three miles from the nearest population center across farmland etc, so, who would have bothered bring aerosol paint tins here for a bit of graffiti?
Takes all sorts spose

Lets see where the old geezer goes tomorrow. :grin:

Van day today, taking Daughter to an appointment in the inner City, whilst she is there, doing a ride I have seen on Youtube, looked a bit iffy but, once in a while you have to experience the Urban.

Good weekend away in the Moho, only problem is when its pitch black, you have no idea what time it is. This arrived over the week end from China and should fix the problem.

A days stay at a site near Warwick costs £38.00 including leccy, toilets/showers etc for two people.
An on the day ticket to Warwick Castle is £39.00 per person.
Something is out of kilter.

Finally got round to sorting the bike support situation out for the different dimensions of the Kalkhoff and the Carerra’s. There are now two sets of supports now, and two support rods.

The seat pillars on the Carerra’s are 32mm diameter and the pillar on the Kalkhoff is 28mm diameter and I am using locking plastic clamps instead of the spring metal clips, here is the double support rod with the spring clips

Here is the same rod with the 32mm plastic clips

Here is the single rod for the Kalkhoff, note the clip is black because its a 28mm diameter

The set up is absolutely rigid now, no worrying about braking cornering and speed bumps

The new clock is in the Moho, probably won’t need it through the summer months.

Testing the throw on those dual servos is a nightmare if they aren’t synced. I messed up a gear set once doing that. Definitely make sure they aren’t fighting each other before you close the wing.

Blimey eliot88, long time since having to consider that one, three large planes still in the boxes in the loft.

Van day today, test run on the new restraint.
