A few of the things keeping me busy...

Sorry Jacqui, I have been offline pretty much since I posted in June, the restoration has been more extensive than expected! Did you make it down to uxbridge? Fantastic news about the smallholding, and best wishes for your new adventure.

which area will you be staying,or are you planning to move around? we are near uxbridge,just in the process of changing boats.two holes to throw my money in at the moment!

Not really a locking fail...determined thieves I guess?

Wow,that's heavy. Do you get any concessions on your license/mooring for electric propulsion? There is a community boat near us called elsdale,a full size widebeam that is electrically powered,that's the only other one I have seen.

If anyone is interested, I'm in the process of fitting out a narrowboat to live aboard. Read all about it here: nbjohngray.blogspot.com
Apologies Jacqui for the thread hijack.
Nice work,always nice to see a boat with history looked after. Love the solar power/electric motor combo,how many batteries will you need?
-
you say you reused the bearings,i guessing the headset?did you get it pressed on properly?might explain the diagonal wheel alignment.

Was fitted to campagnolo pista bb,not over torqued.I did have a problem with a crank extractor trying to remove them,so fitted self extracting bolts.when I did that they came off easily.rode after this for a year with no problem.had just fitted them to a miche bb(campy one too wide)and then out for testing. Do you think the miche had a different taper,or the extractor could have affected it?

Had this happen yesterday,heard a loud bang then the next thing i new was that the bike was riding me.Is this a known problem? bought new around 18 months ago.
it`s immense, and it nearly kills me hand starting it!
