Would probably be worth

Would probably be worth saying how much delivery is (assuming it’s not included) and where it ships from (for import duty / VAT). Unfortunately I don’t think it would be worth backing this if you’re outside the EU.

Jumping in on this one. How specific are jockey wheels on shimano mechs? I have a Sora 9 speed equipped bike on my turbo that needs new jockey wheels but I’m unsure which I need. Any suggestions?
 

The ones I bought have a list of what they’re compatible with, think 3400 and 3500 are Sora. Got them from Amazon:

I’m in a similar situation. I looked at prices and new jockey wheels were £11 and a new derailleur was £45, so I bought the jockey wheels. I have yet to fit them.

So did you manage to get a new derailleur for £21, and if so where?!?

A brief update – the first

A brief update – the first hearing was on Monday, I didn’t attend. I haven’t been told the outcome of the hearing yet, so I don’t know if I’ll be required to give evidence.

Emailed to ask what happened at the hearing, they said they’ll chase it up for me if I still haven’t heard anything in a couple of weeks. Trying to remain patient.

Thanks for the responses.

Thanks for the responses.

I’ll post an update when I find out what’s happening.

If you can find a cycling

If you can find a cycling event at a motor racing circuit, that’s probably your only chance to ride on smooth tarmac.

I’ve done the British Heart Foundation ride at Goodwood a few times, although it wasn’t on this year or last year.

My last helmet lasted 7 years. The foam pads started to deteriorate, so I replaced the helmet instead of trying to find replacement pads.

Maybe. What did you actually say or do?

There’s a big difference between “can I get through?” and “MOVE YOUR [expletive deleted] CAR, YOU [expletive deleted]”.

You can put whatever text and images you want on a hi-vis vest.

Quality was very good, although check the sizing carefully as it’s much bigger than you might expect.

Personally, I found that wearing it made very little difference to the number of close passes I was getting and I stopped wearing it when the evenings got brighter.

Hi Tom.

Did you get a response via their “old” system?

I’ve never had any response beyond “we got your submission” to any of my reports on any of Hampshire’s systems.

I have one of these, which is quite useful for getting a rough idea of what’s behind you.

Rubber strap seems to be holding up well so far, although I expect it will eventually snap.

There’s a hazard perception

There’s a hazard perception test here if you want to have a go – https://toptests.co.uk/practice-hazard-perception-test/

I mostly did OK, but I missed a couple and was a bit slow on some.
