If it’s not in contact you’ve been v unlucky, if it is I’d say it’s just been a matter of time from when the cup was first pressed home…

When the front brake is applied the steerer tube will push the bearings up against the rear of the lower cup, if that’s being transmitted direct to the lug causing it to flex a little the downtube will be stressed much more than normal.

Can’t quite see if the bearing cup is in contact with the lug. If it is, that would probably explain that failure. The downtube will experience some stress at that point normally but most of the force when braking will be soaked up by the headtube.

The lower part of the lug for the downtube looks very close to the crown bearing housing in one of those pics.

Had to refer to the manual for this! I use walking and cycling modes, but there are also skating, skiing and cross country skiing modes.

It’s a Brompton so v low crossbar but I’m still adept enough to swing the leg over the back of the saddle. The other strut there is the walking stick. Thin thigh tube means it doesn’t get in the way when riding :o)

This animation on Highpath Engineering’s site, the manufacturer of this crank, shows how it works. Made for people with limited movement in the knee joint, and in my case the hip joint too: highpath.co.uk/pulse-swing-...
Pulse Swing Cranks from Highpath Engineering
Pulse Swing Cranks for when one of your knees doesn’t bend as much as it should. It enables your leg to contribute as much effort as it can to cycling.

The toilets to be closed cost between £2,600 (Charlbury) and £45,530 (Woodstock) to run each year. Several of the toilets are sited near car parks, where WODC offers free parking at an annual subsidy of around £0.5m.

Now there’s something ‘tech’ hasn’t managed to improve upon - when you view a gorgeous vista but your camera flattens it out to nowt.
