I tried again to assemble the kit yesterday, but I was foiled in getting the battery holder fitted on the handlebars, so I took the bike into Tom at Greenpark bike station. Tom did the last bit of the installation today, but at the same time identified parts that needed changing/renewing. I can’t say I am really surprised as the bike is around 15 to 20 years old and was last serviced by Tom years ago after my chain broke on Dartmoor. I’m afraid I am the sort of rider who just keeps riding until something goes wrong. The bike should be ready sometime tomorrow. I am pleased that the electrics seem to be working OK. It’s been quite a worrying couple of weeks, as I documented in the last post!
