A couple of days passed before I remembered exactly where I'd carefully stored the old freewheel that I wanted to install on my new wheel.

The old freewheel is a Suntour which I rode around with briefly over 20 years ago before I replaced it with something else for some reason that I can no longer remember. I didn't throw this nice part away - it emigrated with us.

The name now belongs to a Taiwanese company, but the original Suntour was Japanese. They were very innovative and made high quality parts for reasonable prices. My freewheel is from the early 1990s. It's a quality part with replaceable sprockets (I remember bike shops having a choice of sprockets back in the day) and it has a quiet clutch mechanism. Nice. No tick tick tick when free-wheeling.

Suntour had their own indexed gearing system and in principle this isn't supposed to be compatible with Shimano's SIS, but with a bit of careful adjustment it's working more or correctly.

Of course I'm still going to take apart the freehub from the other wheel and see if I can fix that as well. It's nice to have a spare.

Trying to find reviews of the Haluzak Horizon (because I'm consigning two this weekend). It's not just Google's search that sucks.

I had to follow a lot of breadcrumbs to find what I was looking for.

One bummer of doing this is I REALLY don't want to part with my custom Haluzak Horizon, dammit. I'll be moving someplace I can't pick one up cheaply or at all if I become able to ride one again.

Nová konfigurace solární stříšky byla neuvěřitelnou shodou okolností přizvána na výstavu For Bike v Letňanech. Jsem s tím ale zatím spokojen jen vzhledově. Konstrukci střechy jsem odlehčil odhadem o 10 kg, ale bohužel, pro změnu teď není dostatečně pevná...

I don't know why #officers from NSRAPT (Norfolk and Suffolk #Roads and Armed #Policing Team) stopped the #recumbent #tricycle - its perfectly legal to ride it on the roads, and one of a pair owned and regularly ridden by a middle aged man in #Ipswich. Perhaps they wanted to check it wasn't motorised, and this is a show of strength and warning to those with #ebikes that could be operating beyond the legal limits?
