HDB home gym question ποΈ
Adjustable dumbbells, or a full rack of fixed ones?
Adjustables: one pair, several weights, small footprint.
Rack: grab and go, but it takes a whole corner.
Which would you pick for your flat? π
Wet lube or dry lube? π²
Wet: for wet, muddy rides. Dry: wax based, for dry, dusty ones.
Same for both:
1. Clean the chain and let it dry.
2. Apply a moderate amount to the inside of the chain while turning the pedals backwards.
3. Wipe off the excess.
Which do you run? π
LTA notice for an e-bike offence that wasn't yours?
1. Contact LTA via your notice.
2. Keep photos, receipts and transfer records.
3. Suspect plate misuse? Make a police report.
A police report won't auto-cancel the fine. Mind the deadlines.
