I have fitted a new chain to my recumbent. It is 236 links long, and adjusted to enable big big ring shifting without breaking the chain or derailleur.

How big a difference in ring size!

Rear is 11-34, it’s a 9 speed drive train. Derailleur is 2008 vintage I think, not later than 2009 that I replaced the previous broken one (when it was on my mtn bike).

It's overcast, cool, damp and breezy here chez Casa Reynard, and it rained overnight as everything is sopping wet.
I spent the morning hauling tree clippings in the garden to shove into my newly-emptied green bin. They were late yesterday, about 5pm. I've also rationalised my covid / brexit stores in the utility room. I am well served with cupboard staples except for some canned tomatoes.
Didn't sleep well though. Ended up spending part of the night writing, as I had lines of poetry popping up in my head that were far too good to not want to make a note of. I now have half a completed poem, but it needs a lot of polishing.
Anyways, alphabet soup and sausage rolls for lunch.

Ebay is an option, as long as you check feedback. You might even be able to find parts for the old one.

Lunch sorted, poem polishing kind of sorted.
Off to Tesco shortly to avail myself of the cat food offer before it ends. And to clear the shopping list. Then the pressure is off when I go stickering on Saturday.

On Cake off just now they said that the marzipan shouldn't be too thick as it would overwhelm the flavour of the cake !
The perfect ratio is a crumb of cake to 1/4lb of mazipan !
A man after my own heart.

Notably Sainbos seemed a bit low on flour today.

It works !
The rocker switch arrived this afternoon and I tested it a few minutes ago . It goes backwards and forwards on its own now that the pedal is pressed . I've put it back together for him to play with now including the window .

And chain has passed the ride test. Big ring needs replacing but all other rings and cassette are fine with no slippage under load. Big ring 12 years old, so it’s done well.

I was just wondering what other strange baddies feature in Dr Who? There are the Cider Men, Side Borgs, and the Dialects!

That's what happened when the button phones came in. Finally, the peeps from the telephone company came around. Told my father he could no longer have rotary dial phones, so they took away his many rotary dial phones, rewired the house for touch tone phones, and brought him 4 touch tone phones. Because otherwise the telephone exchange would have had to maintain old rotary dial equipment for him alone, pretty much. This would have been in the 1990's.
