Bar internal was too small for supplied expanding mechanism. So I’ve ordered some rubber well nuts. Will report back with pics 👍

Nothing for the bike as such, more like an entire new bike.
The wayfarer has been wrecked in a crash.
Towing the doggy trailer round a corner, the trailer flipped onto its side which caused I and the bike to also tip onto our sides. The bike came off much worse than I. Left hand brake lever was snapped from the pivot and the battery tore out the bottle cage mounts and creased the down tube at those points. Personally, I'm not keen on riding it with that sort of damage so until I can afford to get it fixed or buy a new frame (I was never a particular fan of the frame anyway) I got a mountain bike.
A Decathlon Rockrider ST540 to be exact. As luck would have it, the frame is too small for my battery to fit and the bottom bracket will need some sort of adapter for the motor to fit, so I'm still somewhat screwed. Hills tend to kill me.
The handling is taking some getting used to.

Original stem was 70mm. Fitted a new 110mm adjustable stem and slammed it. Mucho better handling and comfier.

Ouch that's a very sad day for you.
Can you get spa to fix it?

No chance. Spa have them made in Taiwan or China I think.
Decided to sell all the bits on it instead of getting it fixed. They'll hopefully pay for a smaller battery for the MTB.
The DeMayo will be up for sale too if your dad's interested. It's just sitting there gathering dust.

It hasn't told me it's vegan, so I must presume not...

Really sorry to read that.
But..... you seem to be OK and the doggy too?
Hope you get the bits you need to be going where you want to soon.
Best of luck

A tubeless 406 rim, spokes, a dynamo. Hoping they’ll arrive soon enough for the wheel building to commence.
