  Garmin 800 - new battery/old case -for parts

  Hello, before I post on the classifieds - does anyone need an old Garmin 800.

  Has a new battery!

  It is only for parts as I managed to snap the power button, so you'll either want it for a) the new battery or b)the rear or c) the display.

  Say £15 and I'll deliver in zone 1.
  Send me a message if of interest.

  Good tip. Subtel pack works.

  You rang Corny old chap?
  I really like the 63mm wheels with the bearing, whilst using the rear rack.
  The advantage is that this raises the folded bike and means the bottom of the [extended] seatpost doesn't touch/scratch the ground. The real reason I got them was to roll folded bike.

  I'm just too tall to drag the bike, and even for a grown adult, I find the folded c line equivalent too heavy (sorry @cake.

  I have no issue with heel strike but a lot will depend on where your feet are on the pedal. Some with smaller feet than me (the legend that is Amey) has this issue

  @HoKe
  Whatever you get, get ones with bearings, then have fun finding the right length M6 screw.
  If you are just replacing the roller wheels, you might have an issue with how it sits when folded.

  I really should tag someone else, but that's enough for now.

  @J0nathan - welcome to the fold, lovely looking bike, and lovely colours.
  Nice of you to match your kitchen to your bike.

  If you are looking for any extra bits (such as a bag for your newly installed block), this referral link should get you a little off. I posted it many months ago, but my ability to search the forum and find it earlier failed.

  I was given this for my modelling days

  Is there a model equivalent to the golf club thread.

  Slightly more seriously was this your payment as opposed to cold hard cash?

  I would say probably not, but a lot depends on your hands/circulation.

  I saw these and nearly bought them just for the colour, I lost a pair of gorgeous green gloves at Sadler's Wells many years ago..

  I have these (Condor)/similar.

  Context. I don't wear gloves above 6 degrees, but I really need them at any temperature below. The above are good between 3-6 degrees. Below 3, no, even with a liner.
  So very much YMMV.

  We've chatted about this; I am yet to win the euro lottery, otherwise would be in with a shot.

  Lovely, just lovely.
