    50/50 Linghams chilli sauce/vinegar with a little olive oil. Makes even the most boring chickpea salad awesome.

    Vans also have the security of not being able to see inside unlike those horrid half car van things

    I enjoy driving my VW Caddy so much I sold my commuter at the time a Fiesta ST 😂

    Definitely think van if you’re only using it one day a week, on my 3rd van with several cars in between including a couple of VRS. The van is infinitely more practical and you can hop in the back to get changed if it’s pissing down. If you decide on the VRS, go petrol DSG, so much nicer than the manual oil burner.

    On my 2nd Xaiomi, just bought a Mi 11 Lite on Amazon for £229. It’s simply superb, a big step up from the Note 9 pro it replaced.

    He’ll claim he has an addiction and should be supported not punished.

    Did have to laugh at the interview, where he stated he was concerned about the embarrassment that this matter was causing his wife and family….own it, it’s all on you.

    The Russian economy might be back to the 80s, but without their fossil fuels we’ll be back to the 70s and 3 day weeks soon enough 😉

    Typical STW responses missing the point completely and discussing cranks costing more than what the OP paid on for the bike 😂🙈

    Despite the email, my order is still showing as pending 🤔

    If they had cancelled all of the orders, I wouldn’t have been that bothered but to honour some and not all stinks.

    Class action required 😂

    Annoyed as got the email too despite ordering early on the 25th and the money being taken from my account.

    Don’t think any of the orders have been processed, mine says shipped but the option to cancel is still there.

    This may explain the low price, new models incoming:

    There was a similar PSA on here a few years back where the item was significantly and incorrectly underpriced, can’t remember what it was though or the outcome 🤔

    Based on the current numbers and doubling rate, are we really going to have enough front line workers to keep the UK ticking over in the next few weeks?

    I’ve had a system 6 for 24 months now, it’s an absolute weapon, there’s 3 others in my local bunch and all owners are equally amazed at how it carries speed.

    Even the smallest Lezyne Pressure Drive gets to that pressure. Tiny, easy to carry and effective.

    How do you know the bike rider wasn’t a pensioner too?

    Easiest option is direct fund purchase through your existing SIPP, either call them or this may be available through an online portal. You may also be able to set up an instruction to reinvest rental income in the same fund. Much easier than partially transferring every so often, which could incur further charges.

    One of my teammates and his wife (both in their early 40s and double Pfizer jabbed) fell ill after their daughter caught it, similar effects to wonkey_donkey.

    I would recommend insuring your bike before a Cat 4 crit.

    I’m a fan of the ‘big revel’ too, usually a malteser.

    I previously owned a mk4 VRS (manual) and my other half has a Cupra 290 (DSG) hatchback and they are completely different beasts. The VRS is a great load lugger but the chassis is utterly outclassed by the Cupra, which is also noticeably quicker.

    The Cupra also has much better standard spec and it feels better put together than the Skoda.

    I’m cheating and going on Strava Stats from last year:

    3:04 with FTP of 370 and 82kg in Aug 2020. Now 80kg with FTP of 380 so reckon that time is still ‘doable’ :)

    I wrote a blog on this a while back, basically if you are in good health it makes real financial sense and the premium is recouped in a relatively short period. Remember, it’s guaranteed income for life with a very generous (for now) rate of inflation proofing.

    @400w I was doing mid 20 10s, good position @ 370 that reduced to mid 18. Don’t be obsessed on absolute watts, position is paramount.

    I sacrifice about 5-7% on the TT bike Vs road bike due to aggressive position that ultimately restricts breathing. I do train a lot in the TT position but can never squeeze the difference closer. It’s a balancing act between aero and power for many people and I can go way faster when in a position that limits my output.

    For ultimate artery clogging cheesiness, I use some grain mustard and a giant pile of grated cheddar, loosened with some olive oil. No messing about with bechamel.
