    Well next time you fit them hopefully it'll take you about 10 minutes, as it really should have done the first time :wink:

    Science adjusts it’s beliefs based on what’s observed.
    Faith is the denial of observation so that Belief can be preserved

    A week ago my front one snapped (main body) and ended up in a bin near Ripley, last weekend the rear one gave up (zip tie worn through guard) and ended up in a bin near Bakewell :evil:

    I think they are/were trying to tell me something...like it's nearly Spring and you don't need us anymore not.

    I've ordered some MkIIs but might hold off fitting them until Summer....that way they'll be on the bike for Autumn :D
