    13 – 1 receipt, but 4 tickets for each leg x 3 – 1 ticket each way for you and 1 ticket each way for bike.

    Edit – changing this guess to 21 as there will be a confirmation ticket to confirm the booking on each leg (there and back)!

    Back to my Messages issue…trying again on desktop and I’ve been checking the Console when loading the page – a few errors pop up but when I click the Delete icon (the bin) it is trying to go to “javascript:void(0);” and looking at the Console, it then gives this error –

    um-messaging.min.js?ver=2.3.9:1 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading ‘tipsy’)
    at HTMLAnchorElement.<anonymous> (um-messaging.min.js?ver=2.3.9:1:6552)

    at v.handle (jquery.min.js?m=1725982252g:2:38006)

    No idea if that helps anyone, but it looks like something isn’t quite right.

    Ah, just seen pictures above my post…mine doesn’t have the polycarb roof, it is insulated…still plenty rain noise, but it isn’t loud enough to drown a conversation out. I do tend to go to the conservatory when it rains though as I do like the sound – does remind me of camping – bit on the cold side and raining outside!!!

    I really like it…almost therapeutic.

    Conservatory isn’t warm, but I like the sound!

    Top tube does appear to slope down at the back – but isn’t at 45 degrees. Paint job looks seriously impressive. I’m not keen on the look of the stem or internal cable routing. However, it isn’t my bike and it does looks nice, just needs the stem sorted really! ;-)

    I can see that removing paint or worse…although I knock myself out, I’ll stick to the pedal and Allen key getting pushed down very hard – bloody hurts and I do seem to be out or stunned for 5-10 seconds, but it gets the crank off… thankfully only had to do it twice, but both times I’ve skelp my head off the top tube when it finally let go!

    Sounds like I’m slightly tidier than Cougar with messaging…I’m looking to declutter as they don’t get looked at any more.
    However, it appears I can’t do anything with Messaging so it could be a bigger issue for others as well.

    Also, when replying to this thread, it reloads and shows page 20. I click on page 21 and it shows the last page with my post showing.

    Still nothing happening with Messages…and what should happen when viewing your messages and you select the cog next to your username? Nothing happens there for me.
    Just seems to be completely lifeless…I can’t seem to create a new message and I can’t delete any messages.
    I’m just looking to have all the stored messages on my profile deleted and cleared out, but nothing is happening.

    A local tailor might be able to add a new chamois in…probably would need it supplied though.

    Does the manufacturer do a repair service?

    Messages still not working for me…I can’t move between users unless I open in a new window but more annoyingly, I can’t respond or delete messages.
    I want to clear out old messages but can’t…

    Take both, make the time…if you don’t then it isn’t going to get fixed…

    Haven’t read it all, but assuming that is what we are all suggesting.

    Amusingly not many people saying they won’t use an ebike as they need to charge the battery – yet speak of SRAM axs and they all come out the woodwork as they can’t stick a battery in a usb charger for 1 hour every 6-8 weeks…

    It isn’t really surprising though, is it? The chat over the last 2 years has been about getting the DH runs down to sub 3 minutes and Fort Bill can’t be that unless you move the start further down the hill. DH is all about getting people to pay to watch it now (unfortunately) so anything that doesn’t allow th tv package to be neat and tidy isn’t going to make the cut.

    Drove a quashqi over a weekend a few months ago. A nice drive but it felt like a huge vehicle – much wider than it actually was. I liked the drive on motorways but the winding country roads weren’t nice as couldn’t judge how far from edge so ended up across the middle of the road.

    I suspect all the land in Scotland has been modified by man along the way, so nothing is wild any more…remote but not truly wild.
    I’d love somewhere to start scattering native tree seeds so we start getting more native trees in a more natural environment (instead of the Sitka farms)… won’t happen but it would be great if it happened on a large scale.

    You could change the cassette to a 10-50…may need to drop 2 teeth on the front ring (or push harder on the pedals) – I was fine with a 50t on my 27.5 bike, but moving to the 29 and I’m glad it has a 52 as I’m in 1 easier gear for the climbs as they aren’t fast!

    Finally got round to watching it tonight – really enjoyed it. Slightly sad it has finished but also glad I don’t need to watch any more – it was very predictable but this last one thankfully wasn’t quite so daft. It felt like a very suitable ending to the show. Glad I made the time to watch it.
    Saying that, May and Hammond seem to have aged well, but Clarkson isn’t looking quite so well!

    Once it moves to a button to press then the feel is going to be very vanilla at the handlebar as you won’t get any feedback.
    How the system shifts will make a difference i.e. the original axs shifts very quickly but the T-type seems to have a second delay before shifting – that would wind me up. Shimano will no doubt have a slightly different take on the actual shift – if they are working on wireless…
    However, when it comes out, it won’t be a feel preference at the handlebar that people will be buying as pressing a button is standard.

    Drink more as that can help reduce cramps as well…maybe have an electrolyte mix to keep drinking from.

    Surely motorhome and Sweden means ferry to France and roadtrip to Sweden…no?

    Ours went weird last week, got sent a new Hive and about 7 hours on phone to customer services, the new one is working!

    According to ebay – People want this – 192 people watching it. Can’t really be wanting it as the Buy It Now button is looking very dusty!!!

    I diy it – every 3 months – with a syringe with a very pliable rubber end that shoots water out in 4 directions. I do it in the shower and fill the syringe, tilt head and give it a squirt. Definitely works as there is wax coming out…not a huge amount now but the first twice I was impressed with the size of the stuff.

    I don’t think I had affected hearing as I don’t hear any better, but it does feel a bit more ‘airy’…

    Mary goes to the doctors and speaks to a different doctor to her usual one…
    ‘How is your treatment going, Mary?’
    ‘Not great, the steroids I’ve been given is making grow a small pen!s…’
    ‘Anabolic?’
    ‘No, just the pen!s’

    That one?

    Given how strong masseuse fingers tend to be, it doesn’t surprise me that they are using roids on their fingers to build them up!!!

    Ah, yes…mine screws in and once it is tight enough to close the lever it is set.

    My Bird Aether 9 does that – not as far out but does have the rear axle sticking out about 1.5mm…

    Might be as simple as that would constitute giving you financial advice and if they aren’t qualified to do that, then it could have issues down the line.

    The good news is, that all pushes on so easy to fix. Bad news is, I’ve no idea the order it goes on!

    If the pedals have and enclosed cartridge for the bearings (like Shimano SPD pedals do), then unscrew and remove that, then put grease in the pedal so the axle hole is covered. Push the cartridge back in and the new grease will purge the old grease from the system.

    Messaging still not working – I can’t reply to any messages, I can’t delete any messages and I now can’t move between user messages…really, I’m just looking to delete all the messages that are under my Messages option, but I can’t.

    Hellbound Train? Also starts with a single piper but let’s rip with it. Belter of a tune.

    I ordered something that cost about £450 and I think I was charged £80 when it landed in the UK.

    I’m a Squirt user and if I’m feeling fancy, very hot water on chain, chainring, cassette and jockey wheels and any Squirt wax and dirt is removed.
    My best solution for this is a Worx pressure water set to widest spray and lowest pressure – like a mist and give the drivetrain and good going over…it lifts it all and is incredibly low pressure.

    Thread hijack, but does anyone else remember the very late 80s/very early 90s TV advert for Halfords where the guy leaves his house and does a cracking off-road ride up, down, through and across a really hilly area and then arrived at Halfords to hand his bike in for a service?
    I can’t find it on YouTube and I’m sure I haven’t imagined it…hoping someone else can remember it and I can then find it!
    Sorry for hijack…but I don’t recognise the OP description so not a TV show I’d have watched.

    What are you using? I’m on libre 3, an ypsomed pump running CamAPS FX…I’ve got xdrip installed on my phone and I think there were 3 settings I needed to set – none needed a username or password…
