Having just watched Sky News I really fear for the Merkins and I'm relieved my daughter isn't studying in Virginia anymore, night.

Morning All
Lovely day AGAIN,
No paper for her today she wants to go to the butchers so she told me not to.
I had fun in my workshop yesterday and made a "Super-Granny-Gear" (no, not a dress with a cape) for the trike to help ease the strain on these old knees of mine.
Got a nice surprise this morning when the scales declared 12-9-6. It means this time next week I should weight the same as I did in 1999.
Have a lovely day, whatever it is you are doing today.

@DanClarke go on what is the granny gear ratio?
Mountain bikes now running 50tooth on rear unsure what’s on the front. IF I can walk quicker up hill than peddle I will(cyclo cross style)

Morning.
Sun is shining.getting annoyed by cyclists who once you have overtaken them they then jump red lights. More screen wash needed

oh & overtake your on the 20mph zones where the cameras don’t affect them

Wow! 50T on the rear cluster is too big for a 20" wheel (almost 1/2 the size of the wheel itself)
For me on these little wheels and with an 8-Speed Sturmey-Archer internal gear hub and therefore one sprocket I have to resort to tricks.
I have welded a 34T chainring from a triple chain-set to a 25T Sturmey-Archer sprocket (see picture); this gives me a gear range from <13 Gear-inches up to 74 Gear inches instead of 18" ... 109" so lower geared for ruined knees.
