I said it was correct but then said, in a free text box, that I accepted it wasn’t in but that the driving was so bad that I felt it should be submitted. Thought they’d just refuse to accept it because of the incorrect timestamps, which are now correct.That’s a poor design on their website in that regard – it should offer the option to submit footage with incorrect times.

I’m not entirely sure what
I’m not entirely sure what the Cycliq app is doing as the UI isn’t the best and it just takes ages to get a bluetooth connection to the camera. In theory, the app should sync the time of the camera with the phone so I’m guessing that the cameras just drift out of sync with each other. I did encounter a bug whereby the app would set one of the cameras to be a few hours out of sync.
I like Cycliq’s products, but their software is awful.

I’ve spoken with an Avon &
I’ve spoken with an Avon & Somerset officer after submitting footage of me hitting the side of a van when the driver cut straight across a junction (I was able to scrub off most of my speed, so I didn’t come off or even get hurt) and he seemed straight up and honest about what they do. I haven’t got any actual evidence that they do what they say, but I also haven’t got any reason to think that they don’t.
I often have minor issues with timestamps as a run a Fly12 up front and a Fly6 on the rear and they don’t seem to like keeping in sync – they often differ by a couple of minutes or so. I think they’re more bothered about the date than the exact time.
That driving was abysmal though.

Take the police to small
Take the police to small claims court for the £100. If they are preventing you from receiving money owed to you, then they should be forced to pay it.

Good luck with the anchovies.
(I’ve also spent hours trying to inflate a wheel with poorly applied rim tape – I’ve since learnt that if it’s not working, strip off the tape and do it properly)

Two holes? How big are they
Two holes? How big are they as I’ve had a bigger cut (approx 5-10mm) in Schwalbe Pro-Ones that was too big for anchovies and I ended up binning the tyre (which was only a week old as well).

Never tried it, but I’d guess it’d be okay. I can recommend Caffélatex as my sealant of choice – buy a 1L bottle and it’s relatively cheap.
