Big increase in available power using clipons. your hamstrings will complain for a while.View attachment 397522

Am I gonna get to work faster than ever, or will I fall over? Place your bets.
Biggest advise if you have never used them before is to learn to pedal in circles. as in pull up on the back stroke.

The latter would be much funnier, from everyone elses viewpoint.

Pair of these Fakita usb charge adaptors. Seems to work well but only with one device at a time. I tried a second item in the other port, phone said it was still quick charging but % went down! But with just phone it is quite fast.
It looks like the BT ear defenders are an extra £400
Only thing my Eclipse pad saw handle, that I inherited from my dad, seems to be good at, is taking short lengths of hacksaw blade and converting them to ever shorter bits
Cut on the pull stroke and slow down, they have their uses and when they do, not much else will get the job done. I like mine for cutting into tigh corners in bodywork.Only thing my Eclipse pad saw handle, that I inherited from my dad, seems to be good at, is taking short lengths of hacksaw blade and converting them to ever shorter bits

We have all fallen down with clips even the plate and strap type , ask how I know, the pull is hard to start with but works

Thanks, I actually was doing that on climbs but I wasn't sure if it was "right". I'd previously been riding with those platform pedals, and steel toe boots, so my seat is too high now, I must remember to adjust it before I set off Tuesday morning.
I didn't fall off anyway (Didn't want to give you thr satisfaction, Matt
), it's actually so easy and intuitive to clip in and out, I should have got them years ago.

Yesterday actually
a large dbl sided diamond stone and 51mm marples chisel with the bundle deal and 15% fleabay deal the chisel was near enough free .
And I'd been wanting a bigger stone for a while . I've a slightly smaller axminster one I keep in the van kit for touching up .

A few days agoo I picked this up. I am not much of a wood butcher these days and I have a contrqactors type saw bench, but the fence is rubbish, and I was going to make one, but this came up, so a trip 200km away with the truck, and a few day ssitting in the tractor shed under a tarp until I coudl download it.
It came from a rubber importer, who bought it in 2021 to cut rubber sheet, but it dodn't work out for them so it has been sitting and rusting. The motor doesn't alway start - I suspect the start capacitor is on the way out.
Todays job was unload, clean off the rust and wax the tables and measure up for some wheels.
Around 1/3 the new price.

I used to have the same Bosch multi tool...mine died but turned out to be an easy fix. The motor wires work harden and break which cuts the power....easily fixed.

Bosch did a recall on them, mine was swoped out by Great mills under the recall.

Maybe, but you may be a few years to late.

A blast from my past was found yesterday.
A nice addition to my collection.
