Re: Video Editing Software
Would love to find an open-source equivalent similar to Audacity but for video. I used openshot to make my "vlog" and I hadn't touched video editing since 2005 and adobe premier elements when I was in secondary school then. Very simple and easy to use, took me very little time to work out...

Re: First tick of 2020
Yep, down here in Essex the other week, my dad had to remove a few from the house (on his clothes, not attached)... They're definitely more prevalent than they used to be - I've lived in Essex most of my life, as had my dad, and it's only the past few things we've even seen the things. I've got seve...

Re: SS chains

Re: G-one tires
I think they're good, only downside though is that they wear really quickly - too quickly for me to justify using on my commuter bike. And once they're worn, they pick up punctures easily.

Re: Anyone tried putoline chain wax ?
I've been doing a bit more reading on the subject, trying to find out what I can. The MSDS for putoline wax is distinctly unavailable, but from what I understand through internet hearsay is that it contains graphite, and possibly some PTFE or maybe moly sulphide. I think I may buy some powdered grap...

Re: Anyone tried putoline chain wax ?
I’ve got an ultrasonic cleaner which makes chain and component cleaning a breeze. My commuter bike is a good test subject for trying stuff out, enough to give it a work out, but I’m not too previous about it, and longevity is the name of the game. I’ve been trying paraffin wax (kerrawax iirc) and it...

Re: Bike Pressure Washers
If you want to save a fair bit of dosh and not bother with all the fancy plastic mouldings, you can get something like this for £20. Just add a bucket.

Re: FS Genesis Croix de Fer
So I now have this in my possession (and swapped all the bits over from my kinesis onto it!). I cannot rate this bike highly enough. it is heavy, yes but beautiful. Crums, yes it is heavy! I've gone from a 1.5kg frame and a 500ish grams fork, to a 2.5kg frame and 830gram fork! It's noticeable! oooh....

Re: Dual use bicycle bits.
I've got an old cassette broken down into individual sprockets, through the ultrasonic cleaner and then hanging on the christmas tree as decorations.
That's not really multi use, more 'up-cycling' I think is the on trend word...
