Excellent news, especially as my set just arrived

 

[Puddleduck]

Glad that worked.

Martin got the fastening out of the element cover plate at the back of our oven using one of those and replaced the element. New element £20, calling out someone to supply and fix £100+

Having seen Robert’s bikes a couple of days ago I can assure you they are VERY ‘proper' ones.

There are different levels of quality...

There is a "Top Of The Range" item which is a product of very high quality used by professional folk who need it for their work.

Then there is the level of quality some way above the top of the range one.

This is the quality that Robert Clark invests in.

Robert just fitted these to mine. Not cheap but an easy solution.

There's time yet. Someone will be along in a minute.

As a result of this thread I looked at what I was doing swivelling the handlebars to store the bikes as Robert does. There are times when we put both bikes is a tight rack and swivelling the the handlebars would be useful. I therefore followed a suggestion, I think in this thread, to get the Speedlifter's, I did and fittec them this week. It took me a while to get around to it hence the delay in posting.
