    “seems unlikely”
    “seems unlikely”
    but the whole scenario of a judge making such a ruling is unlikely, regardless of the correctness.

    As is the case with these sorts of headlines, there is never enough detail for those not there to make a judgement.

    Never stopped using them though I use cleated shoes for the most part. There are some definite advantages over TC&S, disc brakes do not have anything like the advantages over rim brakes. Rim braking could have been developed further but manufacturers simply wanted to exploit an avenue to generate sales/increase profit.


    I was thinking more of the marketing aspect of the OP, 2 sets of pedals , 3 or 4 pairs of shoes, replacing cleats etc.

    Have a look around the area yourself to see what CCTV may possibly have caught this scumbag and an approx time for the vehicle to have passed it.

    I thought it was standard procedure now to go around asking for cctv as the police can’t be bothered.

    Managed to get a larger core

    Managed to get a larger core in by taking the tyre off and pulling it through – still leaks though.

    Another tyre coming tomorrow (not Michelin Pro4 Service Course – sorry nniff although the mavics come out well in the bike tyre test https://www.bicyclerollingresistance.com/ ). Already ordered some Stan’s NoTubes (sorry Team EPO) and have got a dynaplug mini on the way.

     

    I’ll try the neoprene glue on the space hopper !

    Thanks for the comments. The smaller core fitted but was pushed out. I’ve burnt through those ones, so I can’t try lower pressure. The bigger one would not fit. Hadn’t thought about an inside patch, will try that. Hope I have more success than with the space hopper !

    try cutting down a larger noodle or two small ones, are you using any glue?


    It was hard enough getting them free of the plastic, let alone trying to trim one!
    Used a bit of glue – maybe not enough then.
