No direct experience with fitting a front derailleur, but could if be that the chainring is too far out and thus increasing the chain angle?
True. Your weight could go up or down depending on a number of things, for a start the gravitational changes as you move and as time passesAnd (according to Einstein) how fast you’re going…!
If you’re going to get all relativistic, then you’d have more mass at the top of a hill (due to potential energy) than the bottom. However, you may have less weight as the hill-top will probably have slightly lower gravity.

Of course he was a prophet. Wikipedia, smart phones, viruses spread by dirty office equipment. He also understood the human condition as well as Shakespeare – the wearing of digital watches and movement of money as a facsimile of happiness, for example.I particularly like his prediction of Trump:
The President in particular is very much a figurehead — he wields no real power whatsoever. He is apparently chosen by the government, but the qualities he is required to display are not those of leadership but those of finely judged outrage. For this reason the President is always a controversial choice, always an infuriating but fascinating character. His job is not to wield power but to draw attention away from it. On those criteria Zaphod Beeblebrox is one of the most successful Presidents the Galaxy has ever had — he has already spent two of his ten presidential years in prison for fraud.

Was that one of those slot-head pins? When I got one of those seized, I took it to a bike shop and they used a dremel to cut a new head into the pin and then remove it.
When you get it out, replace it with a hex-head pin instead – they’re much better.
Probably. Maybe he should
Probably. Maybe he should have worn clown shoes to go along with his behaviour.

Well, I haven’t heard much from him recently.

Especially seeing that Arks A and C got wiped out by a disease contracted from a dirty phone. Douglas Adams should be rebranded as a prophet.
Buy Hunt wheels or some random ones on Amazon as then at least you get some return rightsI’ve never had any issues with returning Wiggle stuff and I haven’t wanted to return my Prime wheels. I did get a bike shop to replace the rear wheel bearings a while ago, but they’d had lots of use in wet weather so I don’t think it’s much of an issue with those bearings specifically.

Di2 gears don’t take much juice so I reckon I can use a solar charger in a pinch.

Great that cycling in general has gone up, public transport can be a spreader.
But aren’t the handlebar grips on the City Bikes as likely to transmit the virus as lift buttons, handrails on escalators and grab-handles on tube trains.
Not if people are wearing gloves and there’s likely to be less face touching whilst cycling.
Most of the stuff by John
Most of the stuff by John Wyndham is fairly apocalyptic. I’d recommend The Kraken Wakes for a good rising sea level kind of apocalyse or The Chrysalids for a post-apocalyptic world. Of course, Day of the Triffids is a good breakdown of society jaunt.
