How do you adjust that
Raise spring platforms and soften the damping.
It was actually quite comfortable during the test drives on the factory settings but sometimes testers want more movement than that
Born in Colchester. The closest I've ever got to going back was when I worked in Barking about ten years ago. I used to ride BMX and had no idea Romford skatepark was literally across a field from where I worked from sometimes.

Separated my shoulder in October last year crashing in a concrete bowl so haven't been on the bike since then. My physio finished just as lockdown started but I haven't been doing my exercises like I should. That stuff hurts when you're under the car trying to, well, so anything...

I need physio on my knee next year so i can get back on two wheels, would be cool to have a pedal mate
Covid messed it all up physio wise... Dropped into a bowl, did it a thousand times before but this time I went down on my left side - knee and shoulder are buggered and my clavicle is still sticking out. Taking that time to respray the bike and ride the cyclocross bike a bit more.
And work on the car... Seriously, I can't wait to get these bushes on. I've probably been boring everyone about these bloody bushes but the car's been a mess for ages and finally in going to get the handling spot on. Exciting times.

Does anyone know what these clips that hold the brake hard line onto the rear beam are called and if they're replaceable?
I broke one on each side of the car and thought if I can replace them, I will. They were brittle as hell - I'm amazed I didn't break more of them.

I actually removed mine to accommodate thicker custom rear brake lines so had to improvise with P-clips.
I did keep the old plastic ones but have no idea where they are at the moment, if I come across them this week you're more than welcome to them.

P-Clips aren't a bad idea actually - how did you fix them to the beam? I haven't tried to get the existing clips out, so don't know if the hole is threaded or not. If you do have the originals, then that would be fantastic. I think the lines will be fine with the two or three on each side that are still in one piece, but it's always better to have them attached if I can do.
Spent most of today taking it easy with the prep for putting the rear beam bushes in. I don't know what's wrong with me, but I've been knackered for weeks and can't do half the stuff I used to be able to. Car's on axle stands and I've managed to get the brake lines free - had to hacksaw through the retaining thing on the beam to do it. I just don't understand why they used a retaining clip but didn't have a slot to get the brake pipe out.
Tomorrow I'll be off to Halfords to get 18mm socket and spanner, because of course, every set you buy has a 17mm and 19mm but not the 18mm you need to undo the rear beam bolts. It's a bloody conspiracy.
Noticed as well that even with the handbrake off, my nearside rear disc is dragging, so will have to try and balance both sides out at some point.
