'course I do but I don't vent at my 'friends' and expect a result. I would rather rant at someone who is responsible (not the shop drone) or can do something. Hence the suggestion (by another that I agreed with) to use Halfords' feedback thing.
I note many of the later / better electric scooters (rather than electrically assisted cycles) come with bluetooth interfaces and you (well, not you obviously ...) can set those sorts of things with your smartphone.

Jim gets very irrational when he?s had a drink.
which is never.....
oh right
Apart from all those times that you?ve been photographed drinking, Jim. Thanks, Jim.
you mean when I posted my photographs of me drinking shandy on a sail in summer ? ,,,
Erm there is also one in Livvy. Isn't that were you live or am I thinking of someone else ?

Or you could go into Edinburgh (bit of a hike though), to Edinburgh Bicycle cooperative they do their fair share of multi thousand pound carbon jobs but depending on who you talk to (most of them ,like any 'enterprise you will meet snooty ones)you get someone who is knowledgeable and doesn't look down their nose at you.

( For some unaccountable reason I'm missing some of Jims's posts)
In addition to brake and gear cables and brake blocks for which spares also come in handy, Walk do pick n'mix bags of nut(s) screws washers and bolts of which they do quite a good selection so that if you ever happen to be passing one they can be worth a visit on that account alone,
Here's a comment you posted earlier
That was also all the fashion in the 50's and 60's, The outer went to a braze-on cup under the front end of the crossbar then it was bare wire to another braze on cup at the rear end of the crossbar. For people who didn't have frames with braze-ons (there were arguments as to whether this weakened the frame ) Campagnolo brought out distinctive sets of clips on shaped bands with the Globe trademark and their name on the top surface. Cheapo plain banded clips soon emerged at 1/5 the price. Presumably it was to save the weight of 2 ft of outer cable.

Er no. Running the brake cable inside an outer requires clips to keep it in place. If only the inner is run, then this is in tension and so doesn't require clips to keep it in place. Simples.

Sure, ?shandy?, Jim. Thanks, Jim.

Ah well back when I was 20 I drank the Four Crown as well...tee hee.....last time I was drunk was 1990 .....

That's an odd way of writing half past eight, Jim.
In what way is Cole's smoking related to your non-drinking drinking, Jim?
very funny...tee hee
how stupid that is
