    So I had to take the wet and dry to the epoxy to get the bearings in which then drove in surprisingly easy both from the right side fitting the circlips is a bit of a challenge.

    I am surprised i could find no info for this on the net, all’s well that ends well but yesterday I was having a moment of panic.

    The left hand side of the hub has a lip so it is impossible to fit the bearing from the left side it must pass through the center tube from the right it is then retained by a circlip.

    Bars are level with the seat. I think the easiest option sounds like tubeless, i thought my rims were too narrow so whitstone’s info is encouraging.

    I like a light bike and don’t want to push a 13kg porker my terrain is as flat as cambridge and a heavy bike just feels dead to me.

    Thanks for the comments, I am already stretching and doing core workouts plus a rowing machine. Tubeless sounds like a good option can I go wider on a 19mm internal rim width with low pressure ?

    + 1 For those velo orange crazy bars I have them on a tourer I converted to a gravel bike they really do work well and give you far more choice with your bike regards what you can ride and feel in control.

    And Nero played while Rome burnt, or did he just sent a tweet or facebook post and think he had done enough.

    Back in the pre smartphone day people would have taken to the streets besieged centers of government the students would have led the way, but where the hell are the politically active young in this generation?

    Central france here and crazy warm 26/27 in the day times and hot as hell at night, We have had no serious rain since the 26 June trees are dying crops have burnt in the fields the ground is like concrete and all the grass dead the berries and nuts died on the trees and we have plagues of insects.

    Everyone says they have never seen a summer like this if it does rain hard and heavy now there will be floods the ground is too hard to take it in.

    I have not cut the lawn since the second week of july.

    Quick question here as some tubeless experts are gathering and I have to replace my tires.

    I only ride gravel tracks in a dead flat area and have only had one puncture in 2 years so….Is it worth me going tubeless ?

    All these stories make me think its just not worth the hassle.

    I have been experiencing the same symptoms for a year interspersed with serious constipation or diarrhea.

    I had a colonoscopy for which you have to take a purge for clearing the gut bowel etc, after that for 3 months my stomach and bowel movements were perfect but have now started to go bad again so I Am suspecting its a gut imbalance of some sort maybe age related as people seem to get more of this as the get older.

    Americans shoot other Americans, I have no problem with that.
    unfortunately they keep invading other countries acting very much like the British in the 1800’s now that’s a big issue.

    57 in feb and at least two stone over weight.

    I started to walk this winter 2 hours a day at a brisk pace to save buying a new drivetrain as the winter trails here are limestone grinding paste and eat drive trains in no time.

    lately I have felt like breaking into a trot but to be honest the thought of running for some reason scares me I haven’t run since I was a kid can you start this late in life without injury.

    Try looking at it then closing your eyes with it still running does the sound stop ? it does for me.

    so the brain is putting the sound to the video, quite interesting raises a question about what people really hear …did you hear the gunshot or did your mind put the noise to the motion .

    I have struggled for years with online language learning, I found you just seem to learn words not sentences and good pronunciation. I recently started a face to face course and the difference in learning is huge…try to find a native speaker who wants to learn english you can teach each other over skype type app.

    Iplayer is not available

    Disabling DAC, can not find a setting to do that and a google search suggest its not that simple

    Run the command in Exchange Shell to switch the DAC mode off

    It maybe to do with the TV speakers which are underneath and point straight down and apparently some LG tv’s have poor speakers.
