Those strange saddles of mine

Are the reason after having Prostate Cancer that I was able to take up Cycling again, as my privates were so damaged after Hormone and Radiotherapy that I was no longer able to tolerate a normal Bike saddle.
Here is the advert that led me to buy first one, then another
Hobson Comfortable Bike Saddles
And here they are. the first one I bought was the "Easyseat 2", the cheaper of the two.

Originally to fit to my Brompton, but now on the Viking Eco stepper, as I have purchased the deluxe model as I intend longer journeys on this bike.

This model is called "Pro Hub X2"

And it is marginally the more comfortable of the two.

They are both adjustable with regards to the gap between the seat pads, and can be locked into that position with a thumbwheel and pinch screw.

The two pads actual pivot vertically as you pedal, and while this at first seems a bit strange, you soon get used to it.

The main thing is that I  can ride comfortably any distance I like on them!

A temporary repair that has sort of become permanent 

This odd looking disc is the PAS magnetic disc that is pushed onto the bottom bracket shaft that takes the crank and pedal, the teeth are soft and distort around the square shaft to grip it so that when the pedals are rotated the disc revolves past a sensor mounted on the bottom bracket, causing the motor to rotate.

I had some slack in the bottom bracket bearing as the locking ring had come loose and when I took the assembly apart all the little teeth dropped off the disc.

As I knew there would be a delay in getting a replacement, as a "keep going" bodge I simply put Blu Tak on the outside of the disc and glued it to the crank.

This proved completely successful, so much so that I have decided not to fit the new disc till the "Bodge" fails, and a couple of months later there is still no sign of that happening and the new disc sits on my Computer desk waiting for it's time to come!

I forgot to mention that I had bought a different puncture sealant while in Whitby.

And when we got home and I took out the Viking I found that the rear tyre had  slow puncture so this was a chance to try it

This one actually claims to make  a permanent repair for the life of the tyre; it has fixed the slow puncture and I shall wait with interest to see whether it actually does as it claims.

When this back tyre wears out I shall replace it with a Schwalbe Marathon Plus to get  the maximum puncture protection I can buy!
