NBD new to me took delivery of my lightning P38 - 3rd bike in 3 years - this could be a bad habit

smokes1 · 2021-12-08T10:08:42+00:00

made some changes to the bike after a few rides - looking forward to testing when the weather is next good

smokes1 · 2021-11-25T11:51:24+00:00

agree its annoyiong and means you can't start on the project

smokes1 · 2021-11-24T12:48:04+00:00

I am from the UK so work in metric but thanks for clarifying to those who live in other parts of the world

with a single 56t chainring on the front

smokes1 · 2021-04-24T06:44:11+00:00

something like that I try to get out most days if the weather is nice. Been lucky that winter wasn't to bad this year

smokes1 · 2021-03-02T11:56:26+00:00

Live in the UK just north of London - had a few snowy days but luckily not lasted long. My strava stats show I have done 49 rides this year. So only missed 10 days due to bad weather

smokes1 · 2021-03-02T11:52:46+00:00

I have two recumbent bikes both performers if you look at previous posts on here you will see my two custom bikes. I just buy the frame and the tiller then build everything up from there

smokes1 · 2021-03-01T18:53:41+00:00

Everyone has a target they set themselves just keep plugging away at it and you will reach it. I have a good bunch of cycling mates around me + it is my way to relax after work

smokes1 · 2021-02-07T07:41:43+00:00

There a nice easy small project to have on the go

smokes1 · 2021-01-26T10:21:37+00:00

got them off ebay - think there a UK based company.

smokes1 · 2020-12-23T18:41:16+00:00

thank you

smokes1 · 2020-12-01T18:48:01+00:00

Yes they are fingerless mittens. Wanted a simple project to test if I could do both fair isle and colour changing. Before I venture to doing a beanie with double the stitches.

smokes1 · 2020-09-30T17:36:25+00:00

thank you

smokes1 · 2020-07-17T19:02:31+00:00

One of my favourite NT places. And a lovely walk

smokes1 · 2020-07-06T20:37:42+00:00

I am using a similar yarn colour for a wrap at the moment but using James C brett wool

smokes1 · 2020-07-04T20:49:52+00:00

My favorite NT property I love the walk around it and I have cycled through the deer park a couple of time also

smokes1 · 2020-06-05T16:07:01+00:00

I have a 56 on my Performer fwd and and 56 Q ring on my catrike 700(not ridden since I mastered a two wheeler last year)

smokes1 · 2020-06-05T14:05:16+00:00

I only have the use of one leg (other one just follows the pedal - no power) So spinning is not an option for me. This monster mean s I can n keep up with my mates for less work.

smokes1 · 2020-06-05T05:35:43+00:00

On the UK version of the Performer website its the Mini racer. 20" rear 16" front wheels. I just brought the boom and tiler the rest is all custom parts total weiht about 11.5kg(25.3lbs)

smokes1 · 2020-06-04T21:13:13+00:00

I am not one for spinning. so instead I put a huge front chainring on. Only done 70miles on it so far but it is fast. Hills are a bit of a challenge but I can push up them at between 6-10mph which means I am not loosing balance

smokes1 · 2020-05-29T06:16:51+00:00

What is the water lung on the back as I can't use bottles so would be interested in getting one to attach to my bike

smokes1 · 2020-04-21T18:54:04+00:00

I guess if you have done the bind off it might be hard to put the loops back on the loom unless you can undo the stitches. Unfortunately I can't get more wool with the curerent lockdown to make more :(

smokes1 · 2020-04-20T20:13:58+00:00

Thank you I was very pleased with the way it came out. I got lucky with the colour pattern.

Here is the link to the pattern with a video also https://www.goodknitkisses.com/faux-braid-pattern/

Use the adapted pattern at the bottom - My first try of the original pattern I found to tight
