Probably due to the issue re Google...if you use Play Store for apps then it should work. If you have to use Huawei then no A auto. Generally phones from around 2019/20 use HMS not Google

Still warm 😀☀️🚴

Boy it's still warm even late evening ☀️

MTB ride tonight in the cooler temps.....way more road than off though 😄

Quick ride out on the boneshaker this evening..Still 26c so mid ride pit stop at the English Pub for a Pint of St Austell Proper Job....

Scorchio gravel and a bit of forest for shade...☀️

First quick ride...as in time not speed 😀 These I've watched over the last 2-3 years grow from frisky foals

All done...heavy duty zip ties, 2 bungees and a ratchet strap. Reflective tape around the bars and its inside the mirrors and over the end a fraction. I can JUST about lift it enough to peer inside boot if customs need to search for bacon, cheese etc...

Correct....halfway there...

Cleaned yesterday, bags all packed....now, will it fit 🤔

Last Group ride for 4 weeks....

XCR is the bottom end of Suntour air....perfectly usable unless you're doing full on downhill stuff, if you're even thinking of changing then possibly not the right bike/price? Possibly not as much adjustment as Recons but as long as you can set compression and rebound it's tuneable to a degree. My Orbea I've literally just set the sag and put everything else in the middle 😀....works so far. The Fox 34s on the Whyte hardtail I've played with a tad more and I do adjust the tyre pressures to suit conditions more.

I'd love to be able to change my settings.... With the lower spec Bosch displays it's limited I think and dealer only, not too sure on top end stuff, I know there is an app for them?

https://ibb.co/wYkzC5K https://ibb.co/5vX3Yn2 'Scuse the crappy pic upload, can't do a lot with kbs.. Need to find a host that can do the job One pic is magnet, other wire into swingarm and looks to be internal pickup, no obvious sign on outside

My Orbea, Bosch 4 motor, has a magnet bolted to the rear wheel near the disc mounts and the pickup on the swing arm. I'm guessing it's calibrated by Bosch to rotate at that distance from axle for 29 wheels, possibly moved slightly for 27.5? Is it possible that when de-restricting the magnet is moved further out to fool the pickup re wheel speed?

Battery did indeed survive, even the green charge indicator was glowing a bright colour 😄 Quick once over yesterday before taking for MOT... 1 bloody dash bulb out for the LH indicator 🤬 6 screws for the plastic covers around the steering column to get to 3 screws that hold the dash and then a further 4 to get to circuit board and replace the bulb and then reverse.... Radio had stopped working so that came out to check an in-line fuse behind it, not that. Pull all the fuses and check on a board that's tucked away and is more by feel, not any of them.. 🤔 Then I remember 3 fuses in the boot, yep, one of the buggers gone 😄 Phone call today to say its passed so now we can go to LM24 and the Classic in it.... Nearly 5 weeks away and not much building work to be done as I can carry sweet FA... 😁 And I'm debating whether or not I can get my MTB back there on the rack 😂

Ask for pics after full charge on the display, mine if turned off in Eco usually displays around 80km / 50 mile... 625w battery. As with any second hand bike factor in any potential replacements needed... Cassette / chain / chain ring up to £120+ depending on speeds Suspension bushings Battery 500w £550? 625w £700? At least if you can view the bike you'll get a feel for the seller and what sort of condition the bike is... ie someone who looks after it or trying to make a quick buck

Shortish Group ride today...

No group ride yesterday so a quick outing today.. Bottom of a grassy climb... ..... the view from the top

I "think" I've rescued the battery? Charger says 8.6v, trickle charge going straight to 14.6v and error code Put a solar charger on it yesterday and now reading 12.2v so back onto the charger for a while, last look was 13+ and it started the car so x fingers it's survived

all about the same time yes. Cappos are like MX5's....rust from the inside AZ1's are like Hens teeth, there was only 2, maybe 3 ? in the UK 9-10 yrs ago, lots of pennies even then. this was one of them, owner had a crazy idea of a bike engine in there, went to Z Cars, who went bump, car got moved and im not sure Don ever got it back?

ermmm Green you say.... https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=47&t=1768960&i=0 could end up as a lot of these 'projects' do...

for scale...

A 2 seater convertible that's Not an MX5 😄 Thought it was time to bring it out of hibernation.... Been in the garage since Sept '19 due to you know what. New battery required but managed to use an older bigger one temporarily to start it. Purchased late 2006 after OH spotted it on Gran Turismo 1....can I buy that in UK? Apparently she could 😁 Kei class car so very small length and width wise. 660cc 3 cyl 64bhp and revs like crazy, ECU rev limiter chipped so 10k rpm if you're feeling no mechanical sympathy 😳 Geared for 130kph max regardless of power. Had a repaint 6-7 yrs ago along with a few other bits, I'll add at a later date along with some pics for scale compared to newer cars We've had 2 Road trips to Southern Spain, Le Mans/Classic 4-5 times and with a 25l tank plenty of stops every 2 hrs or so Funky interior as standard.. And a massive boot 😂 Any Q's just fire away

Only half of yesterday's ride recorded... User error 🙄 Trundle around the Chase on the Orbea today...
