@Readytoride Well done on the litter picking and glad that you got your bike sorted. I do something similar on our local cycle paths. The Council are not very good at maintaining these. So I have a pair of secateurs with me for trimming back the overgrown brambles and other vegetation that...

A quick ride out earlier today. Still very windy, but didn’t have to use Turbo today. DG…

Out riding early today, I saw many e-scooters being used. Mainly with two up, a mother and child on the way to school. Don’t know what the weight limits are, but it didn’t look safe. DG…

Hi @Prairie Dog I really like it and it seems to hold the charge very well. I use it in Day Flash mode and if I use it every day, I get about four days out of it. Garmin state that it has 16 hours of battery life. Another thing I like about it, is that it works well with my Garmin Epix watch...

Took a ride out to Milton Keynes today, to explore new areas. The weather was a bit cooler as of late, around 18oC ( 64oC). However, the wind was very strong, blowing at 24 mph (38 kph) and gusting at 44 mph (70.4 kph). Out of the wind wasn’t too bad, but in the head wind, I had to use Turbo...

Both Mrs DG and I have R&M Nevo3 GT Vario GX bikes. The belt drive and Enviolo hub makes them so easy to ride. Mrs DGs is still stock, but I’ve changed a few bits on mine; - Replacement pedals as I had started to wear down the moulded lugs on the VP- 538 pedals. Now using VPE-506 pedals. -...

The weather forecast this is a mixture of sunny spells and rain. Back to normal. I had a parcel to post, so went to the nearest Yodel drop off point, which is a garage about 6 miles away. Dropped off the parcel and then did a bit of a circular tour of the the local villages. DG…

I think the way to go is get a good light; Garmin, Moon Sport, Cygolite as they have a good mounting system. Then buy a suitable mount, similar to these shown and, as you thought, with a little bit of fettling and modifying, it will work. Happy hunting. DG…

You could use half a saddle mount and cable tie it to the underneath of the rear bar of the rack. Similar to this, albeit this is on the side. Both Moon Sport and Garmin do these types of mounts, plus their lights are good too. DG…

Had my step son and his friend over from Poland this week and haven’t been able to get out on the bike. Dropped them off at the airport this morning to get the first flight back. Back home and Mrs DG is at work, so went out on a leisurely bike ride. The hot weather has eased off a bit...

Most of our holidays are e-bike based. We find an area that we want to go and see and plan. Mainly National Parks, as Mrs DG, coming from Poland, hasn’t been to them. I then find traffic free cycling routes, where I can, print and laminate maps of these. Next is to find a cottage in the area...

We either use Acetone as recommended by the LBS, or a bike disc brakes cleaner, like this. DG…

I’m no expert, but that circuit board doesn’t look that well. DG…

@Nvreloader Vicious looking little blighters. Never heard of these, so may not get them in the UK Pleased you got your punctures sorted. DG…

What are these? DG…

I’m making a change to the trunk bag. Going to sell the Basil Sport Design, although it fits perfectly on the rack, the actual bag moves and bangs against the rack itself. On bumpy tracks this is quite irritating. The Basil bag is now on eBay and I’ve ordered an Ortlieb E-Trunk bag. This...

@Stefan Mikes I experienced the most classic Over-The-Bars! Glad that you’re OK. DG…

Yesterday, we went to one of our favourite places to ride, Grafham Water Reservoir and cycled round it three times. Again, the weather blistering hot for the UK in September with it being 27oC (80.6oF) when we started and 33oC (89.6oF) when we finished. This will be our last ride for a week...

That’s a very neat solution. I have the Nyon2 hub, which is fine. But do use a QuadLock mount for my iPhone. DG…

How did you get on at the LBS. Did they find the cause of the issue? DG…
