Re: Mobile cycle mechanic costs.
Liability insurance is next to nothing, I just got quoted 350 p/a upto 10million van insurance is totally different, my quote was 1850 but that’s insuring tools upto 10000 , bike tooling doesn’t come anywhere near that even if you have a full set of park ,the other thing to look at Tony is when thin...

Re: Living a meagre existence so you dont have to work ?

Weirdly, over the years I think I've had more people tell me that they couldn't live my life than those who said they co...

If you do Facebook then head over to the Packrafting UK group. Not only will you find lots of hints ant tips, you'll find folk selling boats too. https://www.facebook.com/groups/PackraftingUK/ Don’t do any of that Facebook stuff or insta but my daughter does so will speak nicely to her to let me on

Re: Made me smile, plus EBB and Chain question
If your going to measure a chain with verniers you need to go center of pin to center of pin over 10 pins then divide by 9 , but you’ll need the original chain pitch to see how much is stretched , , maximum wear on lifting chains is 2% but on a bike chain I have no idea , the reason over 10 pins is ...
