  7. Anyone when crossing the Middle Level who stops in March to use the launderette south of the town bridge on the High Street. The launderette closed for good on the 1st December 2021 after failing to find a buyer. The nearest one is in Wisbech on the west side of the river near ASDA. About 10 minuites walk from Horsefair Bus Station. Stagecoach Bus routes 46, 56 link March to Wisbech £5.80 return.

  11. Four quid in Wilko. https://www.wilko.com/en-uk/wilko-24-hour-timer-switch/p/0142473
  12. How to calculate kw required to heat the cabin Take the measurements of your cabin area in feet. The multiply the Length of the cabin x the Width of the cabin x the Height of the cabin. The multiply this figure by a factor of 6 for BTU's or by 0.0606 for kW. The result is now the mimimum heat output required to heat the cablin when outside temperature is -10C The figure qouted for heat output of a stove is the tested safe output, Stoves will putout more than the rated heat when overfired
  13. Can you plug a standard landline phone into the router? Which is what I have done.
  14. I replaced the water based coolant used in my 22 year old Beta 1505 about eight years ago with a waterless coolant. It did cost more and I had to flush the system which did mean more work. But the coolant will not have to be replaced, so removing the need and cost to replace normal water based coolant every few years. Beta were not keen on using waterless coolant, so spoke direct to Kubota who very helpfull on the subject.
  15. Stickly back plastic, peel off the backing and stick.
  16. Already been done, we had one moored at Foxes next to the Gary's Shed for years until last year
  17. Or buy or dig your own coal mine.
  18. Cast iron pot with a lid on top of the stove (Dutch Oven)
  19. Better connections trainwise if you catch the bus to and from Peterborough (Stagecoach X4)
  20. Foxes on the Middle Level is about mile and a half from March station, 10 minuites by bike, 40 minuite walk, average cab fare £4.70. Direct trains to Stanstead Airport, Liverpool, Birmingham. Norwich, Ipswich, for London change at Peterborough or Ely.
  21. experience That's not fallacy, it comes from experience. Fact one Rim brakes will heat up cycle rim when braking on a long descent, which may result in the tire blowing of the rim, This has happen to me while riding the 2001 Dorset Coast 200km while dropping down in to Lyme Regis. You don't have this problem with a disk rotor it just gets hot Fact two Rim Brakes wear down the surface of the rim until becames too thin and fails. Average life of the rim when used for club runs 18 to 24 months (4500-6000 miles) before it fails. My current custom built audax bike fitted with cable disc brakes and it also appeared in Cycling weekly was built in 2001, the wheels lasted to 2018 (60000 miles) when the hubs wore out, the rims were reused when I built a set of new wheels. I also only had to replace the disk pads five times in 17 years, with rim brakes it was two or three times a year. Fact three The braking effect of a rim brake is reduce when any lube (Even water) comes between the brake pad and the wheel rim. More so if fitted with steel rims. If sand or grit is mixed in what ever is between the pad and the rim it will act as sand paper and sand away the surface of the rim, braking is also reduced. To sum up Disc brakes work better in their functionality than rim brakes, There’s more bite, particularly in wet conditions and they aren’t as prone to weather contamination, either. They’re more predictable. The lever feel is better Rims last longer when you use disc brakes- Because disc brakes use a rotor for a braking surface, the rims don't get worn down by braking. Discs have the edge in wet and muddy conditions because the rotors stay cleaner than your rims.
