    I had the same situation and concern when going 1×11 on a gravel bike, but it’s fine as long as you pick a suitable set of gearing, I’m running a 40t ring and 42-10 cassette, and the only times I’ve struggled are places where I would be in the granny and largest 2 sprockets (on a 3x with 32-11 casette).
    I run out of top-end gearing at about 36mph.
    I am a 1x convert.

    Patch the tyre from the inside, the big cut to size patches from Halfords are really good for this.
    Clean all the tubeless gunk off and sand the tyre inside, clean and dry it thoroughly before sticking the patch on, if the cut needs some reinforcing shove some shoe goo on it/stitch it/YouTube that.

    Planet X have some cheap vee tyres and others, I think vittoria, designed for ebikes – in other words highly puncture resistant, very hard wearing, and heavier than you would want on an unpowered bike.
    You can also have a look on planet X for Oko x-treme heavy duty sealent, which is specifically for use in tubes rather than tubeless and is pretty thick with lots of puncture blocking fibres. It works well also.

    eBay or classifieds. Buy decent used kit at cheap prices so you don’t mind if it gets mashed.

    I’ve ran no non-latex sealant in tubes for a good few years and it works fine for the smaller stuff like thorns, etc. Over the years I’ve ran Fenwick’s, now oko x-treme. Non-latex sealant dries out less.
    I’ve found a useful thing to do is was the tube out first as the powder in the tube can dry that down the sealant and make it too thick.

    Have a look on sportpursuit, they have loads of softshell type trousers and waterproofs, returns are no problem either.

    An issue with putting a tube in a well used tubeless setup – there could be thorns/items still stuck in the tyre that will pop the tube as soon as you put it in, so check the tyre inner surface first!

    Hmmmm I’ll see if parcel2go or similar has any options…

    Planet X have lots of types of oko at good prices, is any of that any good?

    Do you use Google analytics or similar? If you had stats for old Vs new classifieds page hits that would prove visitor numbers and journeys either way…

    You could park somewhere close and cycle or walk to lordstones and surrounding, of all the local areas Carlton bank is the one with the worst parking – it now has double yellows from lordstones entrance to the top of Carlton bank road so if you can’t get into lordstones the chances of parking close are zero.
    I’ve been walk over that way today too, covered quite a lot of ground, toilets and showers are set up, main event tent and timings are up, some parts of course marked, conditions are dry but not dusty, it drains very well so unless it absolutely belts down it should be ok. windy as f##k, always is though…

    Been running a solarstorm x2 for a few years now. Paid £12 for it and not much more for a battery pack.
    I’m not sure what the current Chinese lamp of choice is?

    If you have a look at the build log it will tell you the location of the build directory, and there’s teamcity variable you can use in the build step to reference the folder – %TeamCity.Build.tmpDir% or something like that, if the file is within the build directory.

    Sounds about right for a simple build process – grab code, build code.
    Have a look at this video, it should help.

    You will have to write the CMD or powershell script to edit the file too

    There’s a lot of info on jetbrains web site.

    Yes. The first build step, or any step before the step(s) to build the code, could be a cmd or powershell script, or some other process that modifies the file.

    But…. Do you want the file to be modified and checked back into the repo it came from (assuming it’s part of the repo), or just modified? Both are possible but if the file comes from the same repo as the build is monitoring, and you check the file in, it may/will fire another build into the queue on every build.

    Screenshot of your build steps could be useful…

    I’ve bought a few bargain bits of kit off there over the past few years. You can probably get a goretex pro jacket for the price of a paclite if you look around.

    Thing is about those velcro straps, they allow the tube and tools to move about a little and a couple of times I had it come loose and either dropped the tube or come very close over rough terrain.
    I’ve always used a small saddle back for a multitool, levers, patches, etc, and electrical taped a spare tube jammed between the top tube and seat tube. I have a Carbon frame and the tape hasn’t caused any permanent damage and any sticky residue from the tape comes off easily with GT85 or similar.

    Here’s what I like about FS – Terry Smith has a large chunk of his own money in fundsmith so truly believes in what he does. There are other funds doing well also, it’s a matter of picking through them and being comfortable with short term losses and understanding you may have to hold longer term if things go bad for a while.
    I use interactive investor as an alternative to HL, they were cheaper but have restructed their pricing from £22.50 quarterly to £10 monthly, still reasonable though, and I didn’t really like some of the funds on the HL wealth 50 or the fact they they seemed to promote news items about particular funds over others (e.g. Woodford).

    Literally at the bottom of the road up to gribdale (captain cooks monument), Roseberry topping, Guisborough woods (lots of bike trails).
    Pub/licensed restaurant on site (don’t know what it’s hours are though), 10 minutes walk into Great Ayton with a couple of pubs, restaurants, petchs pie shop (definitely worth a visit), nrg cycles should you need a spare, short drive to stokesley.

    I replaced the pawls and drive ring on a set of XR2.0’s from a scale 910, it took quite a googling to find the ring and a Dremel and some fettling to remove the old ring, but they’ve been fine since.
    IIRC the total cost of parts was about £15 but it was a labour intensive, so financially viable if you’re doing it yourself, probably not worth it if you’re planning to get your LBS to do it.

    What’s the approximate top-up frequency of the hi fibre milk?
    what are people’s experiences of hi fiber vs the old 2:1 tractor mix?
    Also, I was thinking about using it in tubed road tyres, anyone tried that?

    Still here, but much less active, still loitering around the classifieds for bargains I don’t really need, still cycling, but much less after a couple of crashs and a busy job, planning to get back to it this summer.

    TF said example you that – tune it using some oil in Telus chamber which I’m reluctant to do for those reasons. Maybe I just need an excuse for a new bike 😆😆😆

    Many repos means many merges (depending on how you branch within them: master-release, master-test-release, etc); this is where the pain is once you have many repos.

    Please fix it!

    I thought the old one was the probably the best UK classified ads page, plus it was fair for all – free, quick and easy to skim read, no bumping (so I don’t know how p-jay’s bumping worked because they removed that ability many years ago).

    The new one is a little bit turd, I don’t even bother with it now even though I’m looking for some kit. Maybe things could have been done differently – make buying free, but to sell you have to pay a tiny fee or be a member.

    Even days or weeks when I didn’t have time to read the rest of the forum I would still flick through the ads and typically get sucked into reading more overview posts than I had planned to, now I pop in here maybe once a week at most.

    Ha ha ha ha, now I just see the subject and it all clicked!! If Google makes its spell checker any better I might just pass out with amazement! Worst I have seen is when I described a hospitalised relative as “all cosy and ****ed up in bed”, obviously it should have said “tucked”.

    It might be worth ringing a few insurers directly and explaining you had no claims, transferred to a mobility car, lost it, and now need to reinsure. It may also be worth emailing a few insurers and explaining the whole situation and story, and that it could be a good opportunity for publicity for them. It’s the sort of good promotion for companies that money can’t buy and in the modern day of viral social media promotions it’s a steal for them to get involved and help out. All good insurers will have a pr department

    If 10 years is good luck I was a lottery winner, 35 years of non-competetive BMX, MTB, road cycling with just a few minors until 2017 when I fractured my cheek coming off my road bike and required surgery; I had just about got my mojo back then 6 months to the day of that surgery I broke my shoulder in 3 places (acromion, glenoid, scapula). I’m more a long distance XC day rider than a downhill mountain goat and always preferred the challenge of riding up the unfixable to riding down it. 13 months later I’ve barely been on the bike through fear and, well, more fear! I’ve started running to get in shape again and may find some method to ease the fear like coaching, mining a club, or even hypnosis

    MI A1 here too – great budget phone but some downsides:

    – The regular Google One upgrades are slow to reach it. Just got Oreo 8.1 last month.

    – The camera has no image stabilizer and is not as good as my old vodaphone smart ultra 6 (which to be fair was a hell of a good phone and camera)

    – Google are more likely to be spying on me than the Chinese government.
