Not sure if it has already come up, but if Bkool has a simlier interface and seemingly many more routes (even your own based on strava uploads) how come Zwift is more popular?

I meant too ask, did you have to update the firmware to get the trainer to work with Zwift and change resistance?

Plugged mine in for the first time tonight and it appeared to just work. I’ve not even tried it with any Tacx software yet.

Also it sounds pretty much the same noise level as my old CycleOps fluid which is supposed to be a quiet one.

Could be an attention seeking tactic, he’s learned that he gets more SHOUTING.

You should never use a debit card online, there is no fraud protection. I would not trust any online shop’s database with anything other than a credit card.

Not so bad these days with PayPal and Google pay but would not want to be restricted to just shops with those.

Stayed at a eurocamp type place walking distance to Interlaken a few years ago. There was tipi glamping too.

Did a day trip to Grindle (slide), great day out but as mentioned not much more than a weekends worth. Interlaken much better for a base.

I’ve finished off all the mini marathons snickers and all the other celebrations just feel like a compromise, (rakes through despondently).

I’m at a total loss as to how you’d stop such a strategy of terror and this sort of thing occurring again. Anyone?

The answer(s) are suprisingly simple but you might not like them.

Find a country that is not under terrorist threat and think about why not. Better still think back to before we were and what changed.

David Gray? Robert Plant? Ed Sheeran?

Bowie vs Freddie vocals only:

Freddie wins this round IMO but there is a Ziggy out there too where Bowie shows his range

My money’s on a rusty a axle u-joint from a jeep or something.

Why would you want to populate a spreadsheet? If you are going to automate online do it end to end.

For an online form you want to build something in php? With a mySQL database backend?

If it’s over a network build a c# app. If you’re not sure, are really the right person to be asking?

This thread needs some spice.

I would get all my current bikes re-made, maybe with the odd tweak, in titanium. Except the one I already did that with. Ti is light and by far the most comfortable to ride. It has much more soul compared to plastic, alu and even steel.

Why would you want to, you just buy one with both ports and a WiFi emitter.

Recommend a double pack because you will want another and they cost way more individually.

Don’t believe the speeds though, good enough for Netflix and YouTube but not great for big file transfers.

IME bikes designed for drop bars or flats don’t ride well with the other, mostly because of virtual top tube length, although you haven’t mentioned bars.

I’ve had 35c on my Kaffenback with room to spare but it would never feel like a 29er. The more upright position will make off-road much easier. Existing cables might be a bit short.

Just get one of those (tesco) universal mounts with a gazillion holes to use and make sure at least one makes it into a stud, which should be max 60cm apart. That’s what I did. The mounts let you slide the TV into position horizontally.

Logical bastards aren’t they

Not always,

Another Contura 51L recommendation, dead simple lights every time. Defra approved, smokeless zone, 5kw, 6inch. Big window may look a bit contemporary for some.

I like my Whyte Shorditch for winter commuting.

But saw a Kinesis Tripster ACE[/url] in a shop the other day that made think twice.

Early Hammer House of Horrors could get a little awkward.

The Wicker Man re-runs with Brit Ekland deserves an honourable mention.

income to the recommended level

How is that calculated?

Also, presumably students only stay in the luxury 5k halls for the first year.

The RR I had wasn’t especially upright position but I guess neither are some MTBs. I find the Whyte (shorditch) much more more MTB stylie and fun to ride round town.

CDs get moved onto a Synology NAS. Can use multiple networked devices to access – Stereo receiver, DVD player, PC, phone app to chromecast to other hifis (wifi).

For car drag n drop onto phone sd card, or CDs!

There will be some clever cloud solution I’m missing.

Spec in the OP sounds a good price. Built a budget gaming PC for T junior a few months ago, Skylake i3, GTX750Ti, 240Gb SSD, 8Gb DDR4 just under £400 (add £100 for OS). He says it is plenty good enough for him playing mainstream FP games. His only complaint is now wanting a bigger HD. Will be adding a normal 2Tb HDD, 7200rpm if he’s lucky.

An i5 and better GF Card as specced would be next level and easily play popular games. Although while the i5 has more cores which is good for multitasking, for games tests like these don’t show a significant difference. Could be GF card bottleneck? Of course CPUs and GPUs can be upgraded later with the right sockets, for that reason I would stick to Skylake. Some previous gens offer value but you have to do some research then weigh up pros and cons.

Steam machines like the Alienware ones are an alternative but a PC is more flexible for homework and general PC skills.

Had hoped to spread these out but ended up watching all 6 in 3 days.

Hmm Kelly McDonald and The Waif. That should be a new series.

Have always been right handed left footed anyway but it is normal for right handed people will lead with their left foot on a bike so they stay balanced pulling the bars with the right arm.

For a reference point my recently converted built like a tank Kaffenback (swap-out) is just under 10Kg with full mudguards and a hybrid wheel, disc brake and steel fork up front.

Like the OP struggled to find a decent rear wheel, LBS charged £130 to build a Miche flip flop / Open Pro. Off the shelf 10kg bikes e.g. http://www.statebicycle.co.uk are 400 notes.

Probably leaking fluid though the piston (squealing) and sucking in air (spongy). So new piston seals or new calipers.

Have a look at some of the ‘less racy’ gaming chairs on overclockers or GT Omega pro office chairs. For the budget end JYSK have some mesh backed that are worth a test sit.

Are we posting our own pics now? A felted version:

And here’s its smaller sibling because I got a bit carried away:

Thought bi wiring was just using separate cables not separate outputs, which presumably are for a second pair of speakers?

Our downstairs loo has the same set up:

Does the fan come on when the light is turned on?
And go off again 5 minutes after the light is turned off?

Yes and Yes. If you turn the isolator switch off the fan stays off otherwise the above.

Sounds like someone has already been playing with the wiring, replaced the light switch incorrectly?

I know this goes against everything STW, but why do you need a new bike? It’s only 6 miles, pump your tyres up and ride your mtb…

The answer is a cool urban SS for the summer and hybrid for the winter.

Bought a cheap Mac Allister from B&Q about a year ago. Used infrequently but won’t cut a straight line now.

Have had OSB behind plasterboard, it never felt solid. One time I used 18mm chipboard instead of plasterboard on a stud wall and covered in lining paper, matt paint. Was great to be able to hang what I wanted with no raw-plugs, including bike hooks. And dead simple to just fill in any old screw holes.

Someone on here did a reclaimed pallet wood feature wall that look pretty neat?

For Chromecast recommend using an optical cable (£10) and an amp with an integrated DAC. Otherwise you are using the Chromecast built in DAC and how small / good is that going to be? Digital in means no loss of quality going through the Chromecast .

Would be looking at new amps or relatively new for above reason in your budget. Go to Richer Sounds and ask for a demo of a MARANTZ PM6005 and a Yamaha AS501 as a benchmark. After you hear them most likely one of those will be what you buy.

Assuming you’re not going to be for driving over it. Plastic sheet, Wickes p5 chipboard flooring and nonslip lino would be well under £15m2.

How about a smart DVD player to add to the mix, mine does all the above inc movies from the Synology, but not tried Amazon:

Or cast Amazon from your phone? Shame Humax boxes don’t seem to have Amazon else you could record too.

Back in the ‘good old days’ when education was a right, I got about £600 a term grant (with no fees obviously). So £50 a week half of which went on accommodation.

Adjusted for inflation (exactly double) that was £100 a week, leaving £50 for food and entertainment, which worked out OK if you stuck to beans on toast and bottled cider from the offi.

These days accom is about £115 to £150 a week on campus. Have no idea what the average living costs are, be interested to hear from students. And how many hours you’d have to work to make up the shortfall.
