I know i’ve got about 20gb of movies on it, but **** knows where they are stored… this is why I hate apple stuff, I have to do a google search just to find out how to do basic things.

Usually in the downloads section of the app you used, but if you go to settings /general/storage they are listed in there too.
Much easier than rooting round a file explorer ;)

I thought it smelled nicer :) Cheers

Leafy South West London not really getting the show…

One of the guys I follow in Insta had one on test at a recent event.

I was considering one to be matchy-matchy with my rear rack, but £230 is silly money

I am an uncommonly inflexible individual and can’t strap in standing up (or sitting down sometimes) – Burton step ons have definitely decreased the “we’re waiting for the snowboarder again” incidences. Being able to just clip in direct from a chair is also pretty handy.

My snowboard needs waxing, … Is it that difficult?

No, but it is messy-ish

Taskmaster.

Nothing for me, not had a win since July

Mrs Dubs got £1025!

It will be  something completely new (to fit in a “portless” frame) as  you still need the battery in the seat post in the current versions.

To be fair I’m not sure the current cable  they use is robust enough for off road, so a new option could make sense…

Ironically, I’ve only ever had cyclists palsy with a flat bar bike, I don’t get it (or maybe it takes longer to come on ) with a drop bar.

My gravel bike has a redshift stem & bars and a vcls post, so it’s pretty well damped and maybe 50mm tyres help.

I think the main things are to be relaxed, and have a bike that fits.

I don’t know if it’s offered in Edinburgh, but you can rent one in some places to try it out.

They are very sketchy to ride first time but you get used to it. Having a bag on the front helps.

Having ridden a normal bike in Edinburgh I’d recommend a 6-speed.

5% increase, seems fair based on RPI etc.

Shopped around – wasn’t getting much better, maybe a few %age points. I might ring them up and see what they can do but not too hopeful.

We had a 30% rise last year after shopping around so yes, does seem calmer…

Molly what’s er name did something similar for Comic Relief. Roughly the same distance on a proper bike.

I reckon (see, I’m scientific me) it’s an equivalent challenge for the 1 joke wonder and their fitness starting points.

raceware 3d print literally 100s of options.

Garmin + GoPro/Light Mount for TT Extensions

For the exposure mounts, they do ones with security tabs for smashing through your favourite pothole…

I’m still rocking my Endura MTR shell, which I think got replaced (ish) by the GV500 (certainly the material specs are similar).

TBH, like most jackets I’ve ever tried –  it’s only really breathable when it’s not raining.

the nigerian guiness is great if you can find it,

Tesco Extra next to Twickenham Stadium seems to be a reliable source.

Outlanders is a bit sim city ish, but distinct levels so not monolithic…

monument valley series is pretty.

Have you got an Arcade subscription?

This is a similar price to a Kinetics MTBrompton, and looks a lot smarter (if a little less capable).

It’s very much a “niche” use case for me so I’m not sure I’ll rush to buy one. I do want one though, maybe next year on bike to work scheme ;)

I know it’s unfashionable around here to like anything produced by BrewDog but I’m enjoying this

Yeah, I’ve mostly stopped buying it, but the Marshmallow Stout (Rocky Road) is a lovely pudding drink.

Siren and Camden ( a new one on me ) will be getting a look in soon…

just you and the employer both save a tiny amount of National Insurance.

My employer adds it into the pension, which is nice.

Have to contribute (I think) 3% to get 10%. I’m well over that as I’m getting on a bit and need to ramp up my contributions.

Look at Travelski for train packages.

You get transfers etc included, and full 7 days skiing – they put you in a hotel in the valley of Saturday night.

We’re heading to Tignes for Xmas (? ?)

I’m not a fan of SRAM mechanical – it’s probably bias from being on shimano so long.

I have GX AXS on my MTB, and 105 Di2 on my road bike. Both work pretty flawlessly. You have to plug the wireless Di2 brifters in to update the firmware which is a bit of a ball ache, otherwise it’s all done on the app.

My next gravel bike will have a GX AXS rear – having a dinner plate low gear on a loaded bike will be the mutts…

If you fancy something a bit different (and fairly irregular ) the last Friday Night Ride to the Coast of the season is on the 20th Sept. It’s going to Essex, but don’t let that put you off ;)

It’s no different in format to watching Ski Sunday, I’ll never ski or snowboard that well, but it’s interesting (to me) to see what can be done.

If the BBC could be persuaded (allowed) to put a magazine program on in the summer following all sorts of UCI disciplines, in a similar time slot I reckon there’s be a lot of watchers and could drive more traffic to the paid channels…

Mrs Dubs has little interest in riding bikes but does enjoy the drama of a close DH race…

A bit obscure but I loved this as a child.

Came here to say Cities of Gold – it was proper complicated…

but also,

Dogtanyan

Classic. I’m a long-form cartoon fan clearly…

Splashed out on the Ti Colibri as my only “road” bike – I use it for Audaxes and other road rides and it copes admirably.

It’s geometry is not a million miles off my “gravel” bike and it copes with the odd bit of sustrans trail without any drama ( I run 32mm tyres year round).

returns policy specifically excludes customised orders,

Shady practices!

Shimano does very few spare parts for any of their brifters.

The crash I had on my shiny 105 Di2 was an expensive incident…

Security for bikes website is still up & running

I thought that was the brief for all Rapha models?

The first woman here appears to be off brief :) .

The one that had to do the video at the bottom understood the assignment.

get a timberbell… (or two)

Did I miss a results announcement on this or is it yet to come?

Dunno, but I fancy that bike if I don’t win the raffle…

WWSTW do?

Pay the £400 + claim it back from the Estate.

Leeds, it’s in Kent.

1) It’s more of a posh house, but I had a go at archery there and I hit a zombie in the eye from 10 yards

2) You get to make silly statements like “Leeds, it’s in Kent” and get away with it.

I have the 900MB package from Community Fibre – it’s been pretty rock solid for the last 9 months or so.

They use their own cabling (fibreing? ), not open reach stuff so it’s truly their own network.

I couldn’t wait to get off virgin and there was no FTTP from BT etc in our street.

I can do you a code too if you are in the zone they support.

Revolut had (have?) questionable ownership and hiring / business practices when they first started – it was in the press and may even have been discussed on here.

I still use them.

Re the banking licence – they aren’t a full UK bank yet, but getting there. Be interesting to see how they handle the e-mi designation in other countries when they get the full licence. Don’t know the rules on how that works.

In theory, your money is “safeguarded” by their own protections but it’s not FSCS protected.

To answer the OPs more specific case –

If you’re getting paid USD in Malaysia, I’d expect a Malasian entity to be able to offer you a USD account? I wouldn’t use Revolut as your main account.

If you’re getting paid USD to a US account, good luck to you the US banking space is about 2 decades behind the rest of the world ;)

R, RS and RSC all use the same piston,

Helpful – Thanks

Have you tried something like the R3Pro piston release tool to exercise each piston individually?

The bike has been sat for long time. A combination of a shimano bleed block half in and a bit of fettling didn’t budge it – I’m going to buy one of those blocks though – looks useful for more regular maintenance.

Wasteful, but look for a set of G2 R’s

Found new RS on bike-inn for £5 more than just the caliper so bought that. I’ll no doubt have an off and smash a lever at some point so be good for the spares box…

Can go full crazy on the old calipers now and see if I can free them up.

Fox Ranger seem to work for me, I have a pair of the Rapha explore shorts but they were in the sale so don’t meet your colour requirements :)

discovering there is a whole Facebook community for people doing similar it seems that mountain biking really has come full circle!

I joined this group – It nice to see what people get up to :)

Recommend what you’ve got (I’ve got one of the older ones with out the UDH compatible rear end :( )
