I stand corrected, my stepdaughter bought me a tdf book. Just found out when went to her house.

Sadly I can no longer say "it's too wet, I'll get the bike dirty."

M in L paid for some mudguards, but I had to go and get them; but then again she is 92.


I was like a big kid testing them yesterday. Swerving all over the road from puddle to puddle.

It's like when you got yer first pair of wellies.

2 x bibbed bottoms
1x planetx jacket.

Plus other bits.
Nice thing about having son's who are keen cyclist is they do most of their shopping in cycling shops.

Mrs S got me one of these. I'm now trying to work out which bike to put it on. The uber-macho carbon speed machine doesn't seem appropriate somehow .

Whichever bike I put it on, I'm having a terrible premonition that I may not tighten the nut enough and it will "accidentally" fall off and get lost somewhere along the way....

Altura night vision evo jacket (got if for £30 thanks to @outlash ), base layer top and tights
SolarStorm cree 5000 Lm lights for the mtb and Lezyne micro drive lights for the hybrid
2 Syncros saddle bags

I went out for a little 10 mile ride earlier to test the Altura wear and the Lezyne lights, very impressed. Now looking forward to it getting dark so I can test the SolarStorm up the woods

Check the heating elements, if it is electric. Those can be replaced.

Long-standing forum members may get the CycleChat-related reference in this present:

Looks like jerry's having a bad day. He'd better drop his landing gear and get his white handkerchief ready, because he's not getting much farther in that one. Nor gaining enough altitude for a bailout.

And a more serious answer. If you know the make and model number of your oven you can get a§ new element for around £12 and fit it yourself. There's tutorials on youtube.

Been there twice in the past ten years.

I already replaced the thermostat , a new element is around £30 for my model and i can get a oven for £120

reviews.
