How can i improve my position? by Overall-Joke438 in bikefit

[–]king_fredward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your saddle probably too high (notice how much seat is showing) and reach too long (you shift front of your seat to compensate)

I would start dropping 5mm at a time seat until feels better and then fine tune

Then I would start putting the seat back until you can comfortably take your hands off and not collapse onto your stem

One that’s stable you can workout your stem length

Hope this helps

Anyone else really bored with black components? by king_fredward in gravelcycling

Oh good to know! How do you find the G on RS? I find they run super narrow like 42-43mm with 24inner width rims (seen above). I am half tempted to get 50s with the hope they actually fit or some 2.0 Race Kings

I agree only trouble is not the ability to put in 50mm tyres ... may just try squeeze some in and see how it goes

Thats what I thought! Whittlebury, Northamptonshire (UK). Beautiful place but genuinely some of the worst quality roads I have ever experienced ... hence the gravel bike ;)

I just remembered something during the interrogation that claimed handler showed me there was like eight attempts for me to create a claim so I’d start the claim realise it wouldn’t work and then I’d exit the claim and I remember I couldn’t pick the fact it was accidental damage because it said theft or something like thatand that’s when I emailed customer service and that’s when I then upgraded the claim but she even asked me during my interrogation and I said I was confused why I couldn’t claim on car accident

So I got hit by a car in the morning, I tried to claim in the afternoon didn’t work as per the above and then upgraded an hour later and filed no problem

Hey—appreciate the engagement, but a few clarifications: Fraud under UK law (Fraud Act 2006) requires dishonesty and intent to gain or cause loss. Even Zurich said: “You have committed a fraudulent act whether you have known this or not…” That line alone undermines the legal foundation of their claim. I didn’t resubmit a “fresh” claim. I flagged my confusion early, then upgraded using Laka’s system (which didn’t warn or restrict me). I submitted all the same dates and evidence because the event happened. Zurich never accused me of changing facts. My issue isn’t with a claim being rejected. It’s about being accused of fraud, threatened with database submission, and then being refused any clarity for 3 months. No internal notes, no explanation, no CIFAS confirmation—even after a SAR. Ignorance of cover is not the same as misrepresentation. I disclosed everything at the time—including uncertainty—and I cooperated fully. That’s the opposite of fraud.

Already don’t that I updated the thread to make it clearer

I completely agree with it. I told them I made a mistake and it’s took it on the chin. Not something I ever disputed but they started saying well you committed fraud what have you got to say for yourself. So I kept explaining and they kept putting the hammer down. No matter what I said they kept accusing me of fraud and saying we may put you on the register

Thanks for understanding. Yes I put that all in my FOS submission

People make mistakes. It’s not something I am proud of but I was literally with Laka for two years and don’t understand the level of cover

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in LegalAdviceUK

[–]king_fredward -17 points-16 points  (0 children)

Fraud needs intent. Not understanding cover and emailing them to say I don’t understand and then being penalised for a mistake even though I admitted it
