My Absence


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

 

It's ages since I last posted. Probably about Sept. 2014 when I had a very nasty accident whilst cycling on a cycle lane in Worthing, West Sussex.

 

Somehow I managed to collide with another cyclist and landed head first on a lump of concrete. Stupidly I wasn't wearing a safety helmet.

I was air lifted to St. Georges Hospital in London, where I stayed for a week and to cut a long story short I have needed further Hospital treatment since.

I have recovered and I'm now more or less back to normal, thanks to wonderful help from The Air Ambulance, Police, Doctors and Nurses.

Needless to say I now have a helmet.

I'm now back with the watches and will be posting again shortly.

Bye the way thanks to the WRT staff for the E-mail dated 20/01/16.

Regards,

Richard.

Hi Richard - well, very sorry to hear about your accident - and very glad to hear you're getting back to normal!

 

I live in Henfield and occasionally venture to the wilds of Worthing. Obviously a dangerous place without a helmet!

 

Regards,

 

Will

Hello Richard,

 

Welcome back and it is good to hear from you again. 

 

Sounds like you have had a rough time of it and thank heavens for the Air Ambulance which is a great Service. The Great North Air Ambulance do valuable work where I live, incredible that they have to rely upon Charitable funding to exist at all.

 

All the best,

 

Vic

    • Thanks for all the replies.  I'll investigate further.  I never noticed the lip and @Michael1962, I think I will have to form a tool to undo the ring and see what happens. I'll see if I can get some more pics.  
    • Hi John, The most important parameter of the spring is the thickness. The lenght is something that one would not consider as obligatory, as relatively big variations will not affect anything in significant way. The barrel size is related to the barrel and has nothing to do with the spring. Yes, the spring is designed to work in a barrel and the size of the barrel matters, but let this parameter be chosen by the movement manyfacturer, not by the sping manyfacturer who doesn't have idea in what kind of movement the spring will work. Sometimes the washer in which the spring arrives will be bigger than the barrel and there will be no way to just push the spring in the barrel and be happy. Well, if this is a problem for somebody, then probably He is a person with to many problems that will be verry hard to help to in any way. By the way, why You are changing the spring? Is the old one broken?
