Chopper charity rider causes bemusement on Tour de France mountains
When Dave Sims rode the 2015 Tour de France route on a Raleigh Chopper, it didn't please everyone to be passed by a bloke on a vintage kid's bike. Photos by Dave Sims/Team Chop

I forgot the before photo, but this was bent like a banana - it’s the drawbar off of an old French roulotte, a large caravan, and got bent by an over-enthusiastic tractor driver trying to back it into it’s parking spot. 33mm solid round bar so took a while to warm it up, welded the little brace in to give it a bit more strength. No mug for scale - it’s 2m tall!

Was that made from one bar?

Still looking at my Oxford with a view to fault finding parts. This is what secondary failure looks like!
The primary may be ok?
It has 0.5 ohms resistance which is not supprising as the cable is thick!
I'm not transformer guru so I'm unsure if I can apply voltage to this while it's not in a transformer? I'm assuming it will present a negligible impedance and blow a fuse?
Anybody know the correct way to test this stuff out?

Yes, looks like it was hammered around a pin to form the eye and then welded up.At the other end the bar was upset and the mounting holes punched through.
Best start a proper thread for this one.

Changed all my fluorescent tubes for LED today. Another "why didn't I do this a long time ago" moment.
Measured the light before and after in three different positions. The bottom row is before. Worst reading was on my work bench.
1m directly under reading is almost 580 Lux

Yes, from Smart tools
Probably not an accurate meter but for comparisons good enough I hope
Android:
Smart Luxmeter - Apps on Google Play
