  We went with one of the standard adjustable stems (eg this) together with a seatpost shim.

  Thanks (and @small, @Fox and @C4r1s). We aren't against smart meters, but we don't have sufficient cell coverage where we are to have them fitted (at least not at the last time of trying ~12m ago).

  Assuming this is smart-meter only?

  You should be able to manage them without any APs.
  If you are still planning to get rid of the UniFi kit then let me know - I'm on the lookout

  Also, dredge...

  I do - I think it's mostly important for the M/P bars where you lack space. I has S bars, but got it so I didn't lose the space for bell/light/old shifter. I didn't have a spare quadlock mount so needed to get one anyway...

  Trying here before I go to AQA - anyone here use(d) gorillapods?

  I've just picked up a Gorillapod Original on freecycle but it seems to be missing the QR mounting plate, like these. Does anyone know if these are interchangeable with the new mounting plates?

  Just the levers? I might have a pair you can have (one caliper has sprung a leak, levers are fine).

• Locks that work

  It's all down the value of what you're locking and the hassle of carrying/applying the locks. If it's for overnight on the street then a mahoosive chain is definitely the route. If it's just while you pop into the shops/stop at a pub then a few D-locks and some cable(s) may be enough.

  Remember that when you use a chain you want to try and keep it off the floor as it's much easier to work on like that.
