Has someone picked up a Salviac plastic glass by mistake?
A TCI couple approached me last night about loss of electrics on their Shimano powered Orbit tandem, can't remember their names, they were going to cycle to Roscoff
Just had a thought, did they check if the little magnet on a spoke on the rear wheel is aligned with the sensor on the rear chainstay, it tells your bike computer your wheel speed. Once on my Hase Pino the magnet had twisted on the spoke and out of alignment and I lost power

Hi Kevin - thanks for the suggestion - it's one of the things I checked last night, but no joy. We're now sorted with a ride to Roscoff on Monday for Amy, me and the tandem. Now we get to enjoy 2 extra days in Gouarec and will probably ride the flat route to Bon Repos for a coffee tomorrow. Thanks again, Stephen

Hi Stephen, great to hear you Amy and the tandem are sorted. Be interesting to hear what the solution to you problem was. Many other Shimano powered tandems in the Tsndem club might benefit in the future.
Yes please we e-Orbit tandemers need to know what the solution is//was? But we are pleased thou found it!
I'll keep you posted...
These cycling shoes were found after cleaning up after the rally.
Oops. These are ours. Swapped for more comfortable shoes after the tandem games. And left early wednesday morning. Please be in touch via uittenboog@hotmail.com to see how we can get them repatriated. Apologies for the inconvenience. Hans&Angelique Uittenboogaard
The next Surrey and Sussex ride is this coming Sunday, 14 June starting at Old Basing RG24 7JY at 1000
