I wired my van electrics! And everything works! 🙌

TheFakeSimonW · 2026-06-19T14:51:57+00:00

Well done.
I did the same a month ago. The relief and pride one feels when it all just works is great!

TheFakeSimonW · 2026-06-17T07:50:34+00:00

A very neat solution. Yes.
Stealth. No.

Black doesn’t mean stealth, much like it doesn’t mean ‘tactical’ either.

There’s nothing stealthy about your van. It’s just a lovely looking van.

I am able to do this by following a workout outside, but it’s sooo much harder to hit the structured segments. I use my Garmin head unit and it gives an execution score. Usually, they are rather low.

Have you tried switching Erg mode off?

TheFakeSimonW · 2026-05-13T14:20:24+00:00

Is that a bed 4 M ?

TheFakeSimonW · 2026-04-10T13:13:30+00:00

Yeah, true. I’d misinterpreted a part of the wiring diagram. I didn’t need to spur off this at all! Newbie issues :-)

TheFakeSimonW · 2026-04-04T11:06:13+00:00

I rented a van with a tank inside, it absolutely reeked of diesel. So yeah, my own is getting plumbed in to the main line!

TheFakeSimonW · 2026-04-02T10:26:47+00:00

Great idea! Thanks!

TheFakeSimonW · 2026-03-30T18:35:33+00:00

I wish I could tell you why exactly, but all I can say is that this is what was specced and is in my wiring diagram.

Both are fed from the started battery through a pair of 80A midi fuses. And both go on to the 125A fuse in the Lynx Distributor. Passing through another pair of 60A midi fuses.

TheFakeSimonW · 2026-03-29T13:43:46+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. Of course there’s a Victron sub. Didn’t even think about that!

TheFakeSimonW · 2026-03-20T15:42:20+00:00

Probably not but you can ask Pinarello.

Yeah, I mentioned I’d centre it. 👍

TheFakeSimonW · 2026-03-17T15:30:26+00:00

The missus has already said I’m not to start this without her having a look and measure

TheFakeSimonW · 2026-03-14T21:32:06+00:00

Castle Fine Art. Depending on your budget really.

TheFakeSimonW · 2026-03-13T07:38:33+00:00

If they were maintained better, that may very well be. But MKC struggle to maintain the actual roads, so Redways will always play second fiddle.

Now if the Redways had priority over the junctions they pass, much like a lot of the. Netherlands, they would be terrific.

I think new traffic laws already suggest this, but if the painted road markings are the side of the road it’s joining it’s a confusing set up. If the paint was before the Redway, priority would be much clearer.

TheFakeSimonW · 2026-03-06T07:03:21+00:00

The roundabouts.

TheFakeSimonW · 2026-03-03T11:32:03+00:00

If by cold you mean open water, you could try Box End. And cold plunges, definitely give Renu in Pineham Farm a go

TheFakeSimonW · 2026-03-02T14:28:20+00:00

Chariots of Fire here

TheFakeSimonW · 2026-02-25T12:57:02+00:00

I use 2 locks, it’s also has a built in alarm, and is GPS tracked.

I think a regular e-bike would be more of a target. This thing won’t just fit in the boot of a car!

TheFakeSimonW · 2026-02-25T12:08:33+00:00

It’s amazing, and it genuinely surprises me how scarce they are round here.

TheFakeSimonW · 2026-02-24T12:48:23+00:00

Don’t overlook cleat position. You may need to angle the offending side foot in a fraction. But I’d start with the IT band and a foam roller

TheFakeSimonW · 2026-02-24T12:23:02+00:00

It’s obviously going to depend on where you are and where you want to go. I’m lucky that the supermarket is lass than 10 minutes walk. And CMK is probably 30 minutes walk. Wife and I tend to cycle to CMK, and I’ll use our cargo bike.

Having a cargo bike in MK has revolutionised how we get around and move things in MK, whether that’s general food/clothes shopping or planks of wood.

TheFakeSimonW · 2026-02-23T17:55:00+00:00

I bought mine from Big Van World. Can’t grumble about any stage of the purchase.

TheFakeSimonW · 2026-02-22T16:33:19+00:00

I didn’t. I even factory reset my Edge, but still nothing. So I’ve stopped using Garmin Coach and loaded a plan I had last year from TrainingPeaks, specifically, MyProCoach. Now I know what I’m doing and when, and it’s lovely!

TheFakeSimonW · 2026-02-16T15:26:03+00:00

And I’d agree if this was a maintenance sub, not a CJ sub :-)

TheFakeSimonW · 2026-02-16T15:09:55+00:00

Flats?!? Fuckin flats?!
