Thanks – that’d work but is
Thanks – that’d work but is only half the solution and 3d printing isn’t cheap, so I’d prefer something moulded instead. I’ve found a Cycliq accessory pack on EBay that’s cheaper then buying from Cycliq and most importantly doesn’t have a £25 postage charge.

I can’t see that link though
I can’t see that link though I know the kind of thing you mean. Fly6ce uses a one eighth turn fitting. The 3d printed one used that kind of thing – a saddle rail bracket with a 3 prong action cam connector and then a Cycliq to action cam connector.

I remember the old Fly6 bracket – it was rubbish.

Helicopter tape, I reckon.

They’re cute, but full grown cats are just pure evil.

I’m categorically denying that anyone warned me against creating another thread.

Also, my one had a squirrel pic.

A MacGuffin

I thought a MacGuffin is a plot device, similar to Checkhov’s Pistol

mixing shimano and campagnolo would be bad as I understand they use different brake fluid.

Campag levers would be compatible with sram calipers I believe

As long as the parts aren’t used, would there be any difference in performance if you used different hydraulic fluid? (Not going to do it, but just curious on whether there’s any practical reason that you couldn’t run Campag on Shimano fluid and vice versa)

Wtjs – can you upload the videos to YouTube (or video hosting site of your choice) and then post a link to them. That’d be the easiest way for us to see them.

That looks encouraging

Earlier this year, the Government announced that it would halt the destruction of former railway lines and bridges in the hope that they can be repurposed to get more people walking and cycling.

Despite being located deep in south Wales, the tunnel is actually owned and controlled by Highways England.

Grant Shapps, the Transport Secretary, has now said he will hand over control to Welsh ownership so that the cycle lane project can continue.

Mr Shapps said: “I would be happy to transfer it to a local group, the Welsh Government or the local council, with money for the purpose.”

I wonder if Grant had to smack together some heads at Highways England to stop them from sabotaging it

Highways England has previously caused outrage by filling in Victorian railway bridges with concrete rather than repairing and maintaining them.

In the summer, a 159-year-old bridge in Great Musgrave, Cumbria, had its arch filled with concrete, angering engineers and restoration experts, who said it could have been saved with just £5,000 of repairs.
