But it's ok for you to "wish" his chain would fall off , possibly resulting in serious injury

So therefore probably ok for me to suggest I hope someone kicks you in the pie for videoing their wife, which could be interpreted as stalking or sexual harassment !!

Tut tut Alan ...Ahaaaa

Probably best to avoid engaging with perthshirebell.

I might have asked this before, apologies if so, but what is the best way to keep your brushes clean after cleaning your bike? Mine get covered in dirt and other gunk after cleaning my bike and I usually just give them a blast of hot water but it doesn't seem to be great at getting rid of all the muck off of them.

Ta.

Try using a de- greasing spray on them . That should do the trick

Had a disaster this morning, the key to my Abus Buffalo D Lock snapped inside the lock. Anyone any suggestions as to how I can get a replacement key or is it buy a new lock?

Have you tried getting the broken part of the key out using a strong magnet?

If all else fails, find someone who has an angle grinder :huh:

The bike isnt locked to anything apart from the lock being locked shut on the bike. I can remove the lock mount on the bike and that will take the lock off the bike. The key might be able to be pulled out with tweezers but it is my only key. I guess unless I can get a replacement key from somewhere the lock goes in the bin?

Cheers. I've got the day off on Friday and, provided it remains dry, I intend on giving the bike a good clean before the bad weather hits (if it does).

Abus locks should have a card that comes with them. You can send the card away for a new key.

Not sure what's going on with the site. Yesterday it was telling folk to pre-register then someone told me entries were open but by the time I got there the Challenge ride was full.

Pricing is high too - 5000 people paying £65 each means someone's coining it in.

£65 for a sportive is bloody ridiculous to be honest.

The organisers of these events are making them far too commercial for what in theory is meant to be a "fun" ride
