    Ah then they likely won’t work then. I didn’t see the fact it was disc!

    I’d suggest Raceblade longs rather than Pros. A bit more faff than Pros as you need to remove the brake caliper and they mount with the qr through the stay but much more coverage.

    Yes Axiom Axle Runners. I did think about p clips but i was lazy and these meant that I didn’t have to worry about measuring tubes etc.

    Right just heading out so a link to a gallery rather than images in the thread!

    OK let’s try photos… Apologies in advance for the garage mess!

    OK that didn’t work. Anyone know how I can make Google Drive photos visible to people outside my domain?

    I’ve just done this. Axle runners for the stays and drilled a hole in the fork. I needed to drop the top attachment so used an adaptor for a rack,two holes about 25mm apart. I can send a photo tomorrow if it helps.

    Guards are SKS Bluemels, cheap to try it out.

    I’d suggest Osprey simply for the brilliant customer service. I broke a buckle a while ago and contacted them to see if I could buy a new one. It arrived in the post for no charge a could days later. I’ve not got any of the packs suggested but the day to day laptop bag I use is really well thought out.

    I got Oreo last night too on my 3T. TBH if I don’t get any further OS updates I probably won’t notice. I don’t see OnePlus being much different to many other manufacturers in this sense. In any case I love how fast the phone is, I used my Nexus 5X for a bit and it was glacial in comparison!

    Have a look at vorb.org.nz – it’s pretty much the NZ STW

    Ah OK, I’m in Devon. Happy to discuss further (work have an NDA to sign)

    @zippykona Where are you based? I work helping companies commercialising new ideas and there can be a lot of support available for this.

    A like for Northwind because I went there. Employability is a big thing, I don’t want researchers, I want people who can do stuff.

    Buy a new router and give it a try? They’re not expensive.

    (* – allegedly, personally iOS always drove me up the wall and OSX I’m too unfamiliar with to comment on beyond finding it confusing, but to be fair I think the issue here is me rather than the OS.)

    I’m with you on this. I really struggle with iOS. They keyboard is shocking and the menu system seems really unintuitive to me.

    I was in a similar situation to you. My mother has some pretty bad heart problems and was diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. I debated for a while about getting checked out for it and did a fair bit of reading because I realised that it could have a massive impact on my life. I ended up getting checked out because I figured that if I knew that I had it, or was liable to get it, then I could adapt what I did. Everything that I read pointed to the fact that it shouldn’t stop me doing anything that I was likely to be doing (I’m not away to take part in triathlons or anything anyway!).

    Some links that I saved at the time might be of interest:
    https://www.cardiosmart.org/News-and-Events/2013/05/Patients-with-Hypertrophic-Cardiomyopathy-Place-Unnecessary-Restrictions-on-Exercise
    http://www.cardiomyopathy.org/hypertrophic-cardiomyopathy/exercise-in-hypertrophic-cardiomyopathy-hcm

    In the end I was lucky and my mum didn’t have the gene that meant that it could be passed on to me. You should be offered genetic counselling and genetic testing to identify if this gene is something that you have and is likely to be passed on to your sons. Maybe also get in touch with the British Heart Foundation – they must have some sort of support group, even if only online. I’m happy to share thoughts and experiences too, just email.

    My favourite way of making good coffee by the mug is using a v60 dripper filter. Can do up to 4 cups (I tend to just make a mug), filter papers are cheap, works quite well with pre-ground (but when I grind my own then I use a slightly finer grind).

    If anyone is v60 curious I have an old one you can have for free (we’ve just removed all plastic cooking stuff from the house so it’s currently looking for a home).

    Can you get into the drops and maintain that position? I would hav thought that position and clothing would be the main benefit. Followed by deep section rims.

    I just use a Bodum single French press travel mug. Works well, easy to stick in a bag if I’m away.

    For something a bit different try the Rivers of London series. Police thriller with magic and humour.

    Some sort of RSI? I get it sometimes and I’ve never quite worked out what causes it.

    We had an internal flue when I was a kid. Made the bathroom upstairs toasty and a great place to dry clothes!

    It looks like a shorts version of the spray suits that I wore whilst dinghy sailing (and last wore sledging last winter!). I’d probably buy one if it was cheaper.

    Make one? I used a shelf board (without wall fixings) and four feet from a bathroom cabinet. Then you can make it exactly like you need!

    I’m with them for both broadband and mobile, mobile for probably 17 years (with a 9 month break to O2, an experience I’d rather forget). Really good, best coverage I’ve had and customer service has always been pretty good too.

    I quite like Wunderlist as it’s simple and the apps work pretty well. iOS, Android, web and Windows versions.

    I know someone in Exeter who may be able to sort out something but he’s not a frame builder.

    Try Feliway. It apparently works wonders in chilling cats out. It’ll get used to the dog, it hiding upstairs isn’t unusual. To stop pissing on beds shut the doors!

    I got some dead cheap ones from Argos that are actually pretty good. They were bought as a stop gap but are moving to the new house.

    I never quite understood this. Whilst I’m by no means a habitual non pant wearer, the thought of going commando one day doesn’t fill me with dread. Am I missing something? Have I been a little too blase about the consequences and have a horrifying no-pant related disaster ahead of me in the future?

    Slight thread drift:is there any technical reason for different brakes using different fluids? Or is it just brand preference?

    There’s a good example at the bottom of this page that I’ve used in the past.

    I like Qbic just beside Aldgate East (linky)as a place to stay. A little out of the way but handy for Spitalfields, Shoreditch and Brick Lane.

    This is interesting, I’ve always just assumed that I just had a wonky pointing out foot. I’ll have a look at physio.

    I’ve been given the “but I’m going to pick it up on the way back” story.

    This is not actually true. They don’t.

    When dog walkers say this, I think you’re quite within your rights to say that they’re lying

    I do actually,if I’m on an out and back walk. Otherwise I’ll carry it with me.

    Not sure about the mute button but I have a Plantronics Voyager Legend and it’s the best of the headsets I’ve used.

    Wear hi viz? Have you ever been driving in twilight and seen a grey/silver car with no lights on? Why should drivers not all have to drive bright yellow cars?

    I’ve stayed close to the Cornwall museum a couple of times but have never had time to visit. I’ll have to do it one day (I don’t even live all that far away for a day trip).
