    I have the little thingy and the battery but couldn’t locate it when I went to use the app. It wouldn’t detect it. So how do I get my di2 to make the right noises to talk to the app?

    My kids got a couple of kits a year ago, we did the spitfire together and it came out really well. However when it came to the bomber we needed more paints. Went to the shop bought the colours we needed only to find they were the oil based ones as opposed to the water based ones. That threw a spanner in the works straight away and we never finished. Can you thin the oil paints down or are the water based ones better?

    Those are amazing. The only reason I’m thinking of building one is to try and get everything we want as most ready mades come with some of the things we need but not all!

    Cheers slack just the advice I needed.

    Haven’t paid any money as yet, just doing abit of research. Not knowing anything about this was trying to understand if common practice. And therefore perfectly legit.

    It Ian a brand new build. As yet not completed. My concern is around the developers who appear to start businesss Andy close them down quite regularly all with similar names but generally putting the name of the area they maybe working in is the only difference.

    Personally wish I’d never got mine. However probabaly more to do with test driving the model up from the one I bought. So seats weren’t as firm, didn’t get sat nav in the touch screen. Sound system is terrible, don’t particularly like the handling in corners. Always feels like you will lose it. Doesn’t have any cup holders! Sounds stupid but really missed having these when driving 100 mile commute every day. Fuel effiency is pretty good though. I wouldn’t get another. In fact the other half drives it now and I have an e39 530i

    Hmmmm interesting ine that. I had a guy come in the other day with a bike he uses as a daily commuter, which has inevitably got cable rub on the front forks. My company have given him a set of brand new carbon forks for something that is a natural occurrence in bikes!

    That was unreasonable.

    Hope the guy who spun in the air is ok?

    Yes it does, however what was happening was that the light would turn off, therefore thinking it was charged. Did the battery level test via the shifter and it blinks green 5 times to indicate 50%.

    Charged it up on the apple plug and all was good, checked the level on the garmin and the lever.

    I haven’t experienced a large battery loss. What I have noticed after having some battery level issues, is that the charger only works on certain usb plugs!

    I.e I was using a Samsung usb plug to charge and it didn’t charge it, tried a garmin one didn’t work. Eventually used an apple one and that works!

    I used to have an e39 530d that the turbo went on and the rac very kindly blew up for me. Loved it sooooo much which is why I want another.

    Aware of the swirl flaps so will check that out thanks.

    Boardmans always get good reviews, despite them being ‘boardmans’. SRAM isn’t any more difficult to service or get parts for its just slightly different. Pulls at different ratios to shimano and you may find it is more ‘mechanical’ sounding than shimano.

    The thing with 13’s is they never really happened if that makes sense. They were brought into stores as the next big thing designed in house but they never really flew out. Plus they have aero brakes which in my experience on these bikes can be a pita!

    Bollox does it rattle! I’ve just bought a pair and put speed play cleats on. Hadn’t thought about that and didn’t want to start cutting the new shoes. Have you also noticed it says about cuttIng the tounge.

    Reliving my youth through my kids, currently ice skating and roller hockey street hockey, stuff me and my boys can do together and I can go and do on my own should I want. Once you get over the mental barrier of looking a right tit in a pair of skates it’s not that bad

    Hope you heal quickly and it doesn’t affect your desire to ride. Although it does affect mine. Take it easy sir!

    had a similar thing with my ultegra di2 detup on the roady, did my head in. tried everything, changed derailleur and all sorts. It was chain length.

    My thinking is I can skate with my boys, spend time with them. Relive my youth and look a total muppet. Was looking at some anarchy skates as they are relatively cheap in case they get thrown in the cupboard.

    That vid of the guy on the ramps was awesome. I did something very similar on my boys bmx.

    was going to try some super trick grinds and royales, and maybe some ramp tricks. Cant do hockey in aggressive skates surely they are too heavy.

    Sounds good, I don’t really like the cappuccino effect with all the froth. But I like the strength. However when I make this in my travel mug or mug at home it just isn’t strong enough.

    Can’t see how you would race round Frimley lodge park? It’s not big enough? Not enough singletrack unless they let you pretend to be mini trains and ride round the small railway?

    Tunnel hill, porridge pots and frith hill. Good area but mod land, can sometimes be a bit tetchy as the army are clamping down on bike riding!

    Gypsum, that is exactly where I’m at. I feel I’m putting pressure on myself to ride as I have an expensive bike in the shed and should be using it. Then when I don’t I get angry with myself.

    Yes I am the guy that was and still is a bit down, haven’t managed to talk to anyone and wondering where my life is going and if I’m a let down to the people around me. But upon reflection although I’m not in an amazing place I have a lot less to worry about than some people in the world so need to be happy with what I have.

    I got the t51 power armour from the national guard centre. Issue I have is I keep putting stuff into my workstations at sanctuary and they disappear! Bloody annoying when guns go.

    Couldn’t even watch that to the end. Why would you want to do that, I get the thrill and adrenaline etc but that really is a one false move = death scenario. And you come bouncing down the Eiffel Tower.

    Wow, cheers guys. Nowt to do with buying a 650b.

    It’s been going on a while, and it feels petty compared to some of the things I have read on here.

    I guess commuting for an hour each way a day gives you too much time to think.
