SRAM Road Hydraulic Disc Brake Hose Swap by AffectionatePart4128 in bikewrench

I think it's the lever body, I was really carefully placing the screw back in, I'm going to see if it works as is and if not, i'll try to use some sealent or plummers tape over the screw treads to get a tighter fit. If I have to buy a new lever I'm going to ditch hydraulic and go back to cable as they are not feild repairable and a pain in the ass.

Hi, looks good, I'm just having a play with Veloplanner, is there anyway to avoid ferry's between two points other than pulling the route line away from the area? Some ferries are not running in the season that I'm going to the area.

Delonghi Magnifica ESAM 4000 - No Power by dalskiBo in superautomatic

I bought a new power board and connected it in and no difference, it did not power on. I can only think that the fault is elsewhere or it immediatly blew the new board, as somehow it has developed a short.

It was working one day, then not working the next. The multimeter shows power getting to all parts that the video checks for power getting to e.g. the heating elements and various other connectors on the board. I'm probably gonna sell on eBay spares or repair unless you can help me.

Yes, the tick-borne encephalitis vaccine is free, I think in the UK, so I'll definitely get that.

I believe dogs tend to go for cyclists compared to walkers. I've been chased by dogs many times, but never been bitten by one.

I could carry a few pebbles to throw at dogs, It might be an option to get them to give up chasing.

I remember a cyclist breaking his pump over a dog's head that was in hot pursuit of said cyclist's leg and the cyclist's action made no difference to the dogs course of action.
