I’ve got 2 dates on Saturday 😂
Like buses they are. Although slightly slimmer

In all, it feels like an entry level camera that is a bit light on features but for £50 all in,

Sounds like you wuz done mate 😂

It seems silly to have to sit down to lower your dropper…
I assume a wireless dropper will get round this problem.

Now, that definitely isn’t a problem. well unless there’s something very wrong with your legs. :D

Isn’t online dating a bit scary chatting to strangers?

Give me your number and I’ll whatsapp you ;)

I have some advice! Be patient.

That is all :)

I think researching breastical asymmetry would be rather more enjoyable

Well. In related news, with my own music playing -some drum & bass, I bizarrely followed a link from another thread which showed me this:

And my music went absolutely perfectly. It was great! :lol:

but given the points you raise I do agree with your conclusion

Benefits rather than solving problems. No way I can afford one, but those benefits almost make it worth the cash.
But as always, if YOU don’t see the benefits.. don’t **** buy one. Simple innit.

What problem are they solving?

All those people with bikes without “stealth” routing can have droppers without the ugly external cable; changing a dropper becomes like changing a normal seatpost; seat tubes with obstructions can have a longer dropper, can easily swap dropper between bikes (with the same seattube diameter obvs).. yeah, nothing really.

People care how other people make their tea? How weird (sorry, forgot: :) (just in case anyone thought I cared that anyone cared how anyone else makes their tea))

These are decent all rounders – https://www.tredz.co.uk/.Goodyear-Newton-ST-EN-Ultimate-Tubeless-Complete-Dynamic-R-T-29-MTB-Tyre_233161.htm – £34
the 2.6 is £25 on ebay

So how good a shot are you?

Yeah, interesting someone else has the same problem as me. I never adapted to it, cos well, I don’t really go round shooting stuff, except maybe the odd elastic band.

Talk about non-stories. Looks like that’s actually from a “news” broadcast?! and 20,000 “likes”! astounding. Yet here I am discussing how dull it is. I know I know. Life in the 21st century eh.

Never even thought if I “dress” to the left or right. It just fits where it fits.

I believe they call that “nestled” (or did I just make that up? :D )

I’m a left dresser, a lefty writer, a righty batter/hitter, ambi kicker. I think we’ve discussed this before – how I can’t shoot a gun or bow n arra anywhere near on target cos my right eye is leader, but left hand shoots the weapon (not that one).

Too right. I mean who really is called Carson Storch?! Next thing you know there’ll be kids called Chaos.. oh!

Stems, inner tubes (what are they for?!), wheels of various sizes hung around the garage.
Then there’s the 2 boxes. One for all the old “hoarded” stuff and the other for the may use again stuff.
“Old” contains at least 3 cranks, v brakes, some ski bar ends (oh yes), at least 3 square taper BBs, odd pedals, one of which is seized onto a crank arm. Decent pair of DMR pedals but I donated a nut from one to a pleading STWer, thus rendering them useless. And other things.
“Again” box contains cables, grips (at least 4 pairs), chainrings of various sizings and fittings, new XT brake lever and a new road caliper – both ebay bargains bought just-in-case… plus other things can’t recall.
Oh there’s also a shelf with old handlebars, seatposts and saddles. And another shelf with the decent 700mm and wider bars.
It’s a problem.

I tried it with some different music and it looked like a bloke paddling, stopping, turning, paddling some more. Does ‘The Lady In Red’ make it? Cos I don’t really wanna hear that song if I can help it.

Was directed to do an EConsult, so filled in 6 million boxes and hopefully will have some suggestions from a health profesh. :)

Indeed. Missed the docs call time cos of work. Will try again.

a recovery nod

I wish! Headache keeps me awake, then I have to resort to ibuprofen.

Cheers folks. I only tried the tabs because I was getting the headaches with water only.
I don’t really know what my water intake is. I have a pint glass on the desk all day, which I regularly top up (water, not beer :) )
Thing is, I’m not drinking any more or less than I’ve ever done, but this has only started in the past 6 months or so.
Was gonna try calling docs today

Pretty old now, Hope Tech related, but I thought the video about the Olympic track bike was rather interesting

Football folk need to check ITV4 6pm daily, if you haven’t already. The Big Match Revisited. Proper entertainment 😊

I see where I went wrong as a young rider… never wore a cap!
Be good to see these nutters throw emselves off cliffs again 😊

Apologies @mogrim, there was just a couple of posts that got my back up. TBH I didn’t read all!

A CBS UnOriginal.
They have history :D .https://youtu.be/uzBpLqOoy8A.

He’s utterly buzzing….. as are we

Thats what its all about eh @Metalheart ?
The rest of the chat can do one.

Some good quotes from the pros in there.

My boy has gone and got BBA and the Exeter Uni place he wanted. Chuffed!

Looks like he evaded his father’s ‘can’t be arsed’ gene :D

Flippin hell, I couldn’t even drive that far, let alone ride it.

Do folk get brakes that squeal badly in the dry then?

Pretty sure that the only ones I’ve had squeal in the dry were Shimano with a leaky caliper. Leaking hardly effects braking performance, but makes them honk!
Even my SRAMs were squealing yesterday, but I did go through a few hub deep puddles. I don’t think grease will help with that.

In case anyone interested – Joe Marler’s autobiography is 99p on Kindle at the mo

then EV really could be an option?

Budget was £8K I believe

manufacturers don’t list the seats-down load length in the specifications

There’s also the hatch opening measurements needed – Wider bars/bigger wheels/longer forks all add up!

…a Passat that is now sitting at 560k miles

Ooh, fingers crossed for mine then! Got 110K on it and I keep thinking I need to change it soon. I really don’t want to though, cos it sits on the driveway most of the time costing me nothing.
(Top tip – ByMiles Insurance for those in a similar situation. Contact me for a referral!)

Do bikes still have 27.2 seat tubes? (Obviously the ones that always did still do! New ones I mean. None of mine have had one since my 2009 Yeti)

Mark E Smith style “Damn your eyyyyesAH!” :D

Last film I saw before the cinemas shut down last year. Actually they shut down the day after I saw The Lighthouse. It was an odd film. Then I saw The Lighthouse on telly starring Mark Lewis Jones and it was a more straightforward (ie. dull) telling of the same story. I preferred the weird one.

^^ He’s definitely not shouting Yes! :lol:

Yeah, corrected myself. :)
