  Did they play any classics?
  I saw them once at the Worthing Assembly Halls way back in 87 or 88 during Chronicles of the Black Sword era.
  Guess it was during the Huw Lloyd Langton and Harvey Bainbridge days.
  They've been my guilty pleasure ever since.

• Pre 1950s rides of LFGSS: old bikes, vintage rats, classic lightweights

  Thanks!

  I think I’ve been over tightening them which is why the nose drops.
  I’ll try and just tighten so they hold it in place.

  Anyone got any tips on how to set up one of the old campy NRecord twin bolt seat posts?
  Is there a knack/trick I’m missing or are they just v v fiddly?
  I’ve tried fitting the front clamp and tightening it before adjusting the rear one but the saddle nose keeps dropping whatever I do...

  After the last couple of weeks I'm now sold on capes/ponchos for serious wet commuting.
  I've been using this decathlon one
  https://www.decathlon.co.uk/arpenaz-40-l­itre-waterproof-poncho-l-xl-grey-id_8302­449.html
  which is really for camping trips but it's done the job.
  Doesn't have a way to clip onto the handlebars though so my knees get wet. What do people use, pegs?

  ^And the IPCC is at the conservative end of the estimates on Climate Change.
  That's why some of the XR lot feel it's already too late, the point of no return has been passed and the extinction of the human race is inevitable.

  Surely XR's point is that it's too late for individual action, only rapid action at a governmental level across the world has any hope of addressing climate change.
  Some of them believe we've probably already reached the point of no return.
  Whatever you think of their methods there is a lot of thought behind it.
  They are trying to enact rapid social change through non-violent means.
  (And there is a lot of thought over how they define non-violent)
  They are trying to get around 3.5% of the population on their side/mobilised because they think that's the tipping point towards achieving their goals.
