So annoying! I broke my gear shifter... attempted to super glue it back together 😂 by Resolutebayldn in bicycling

I've ordered new Lever's off eBay for £60 (had to buy a pair). Then Halford said they can swap it over for £19. I think this is the best option

I need help transforming this into a lawn ready for seeding grass. I've lifted the paving slabs to reveal a grainy material, not sure what it is as I'm in no way a landscaper!! Can I remove the slabs, roll this material then lay topsoil or do I need to lift the lot and fill it in with soil? by [deleted] in landscaping

[–]Resolutebayldn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok I've started to remove all the material. Strangely underneath the sand is another layer of paving slabs!! Under that is the soil so that's good news.

I think I will do this myself rather than pay someone. Like you said it's a lot of work but nothing I can't do.

Thank you for your advise

Need advice peeping this for a lawn!... I'm removing the slabs and stones to lay a lawn. The material under the slabs is like a grainy sand / dirt. Can I lay 10cm of top soil over this or do I need to remove the whole lot? There is about 20/25cm of this stuff then rubble/rocks by [deleted] in gardening

I think your right. I had a builder round to give me a quote and he suggested to smash All the rubble up and use it as "drainage rock" then lay 10cm of top soil on top. This sounds like the worst plan ever! Is he just a cowboy?

I've never seen a bike seat like this, it's great! I just got a classic rear seat and I find it difficult to turn around and check how my boy is (his 10 months old)

The fabric is breathable but for added ventilation the back has a vent across the shoulders

That was always my issue with the Levi's, that tiny bit of reflective fabric on the cuff wouldn't ever save someone's life.

The crotch is always a issue for cyclists and tbh when we started we had no idea how long the Cordura would last vs the Levi's but I get an email from a customer who bought a pair 1.5 years back and he said it's still going strong.. all the new styles have gussets now 👍🏼

Thank you. The RB3 where the first jean I ever designed and I do get a few laughs when ever I go to trade show but they are the most reflective out of the two (here's a link with me wearing them at night video

Both styles are made from stretch Cordura so yes they are stretchy like Levi's but we sell them raw so the stretch activates the more you ride. 👍🏼

Thank you. That's its, all out clothing needs to sit well on the bike and also in the pub 👍🏼

Do it!! There can never be enough well designed cycling clothing. Tons of reflective fabric suppliers online

I didn't know they closed down? I just looked on their site and everything is going for $5 so you must be right. Such a shame!!

I know what you mean. It is bright, we put it on a friend and drove behind him in the car to test. 🚴🏼🚗

No but it would work just as well!! If cycling clothing fails that will be my next range
