If the VAT thing isn’t sorted, those living outside the UK could be in very high demand soon!
I’ve already found a few website that won’t ship to UK, but will wait with hope for the next couple of months.

Re: Swimming
Don’t know why but as i got older into my 40’s, that pain amplified hugely, especially in feet and legs
I never used to suffer that much, regularly swimming in rivers and surfing in cold sea (albeit with wetsuit) but in the last few years it’s really putting me off

Re: Sram 1x12 v Simano 1x12
I’ve tried the SRAM, but after riding with Shimano for years just couldn’t get used to it, different shifters just felt odd.
Nothing wrong with it in terms of performance, I just didn’t like the feel of it
New bike spec’d with Shimano 12 and I’m liking it a lot

Re: What you done t' your bike today
tightened a loose spoke and found a few other not so tight
Retrued the rim only for it to untrue itself
Discovered every spoke hole is cracked (on non drive spokes) not sure what has caused this but rim is scrap
Dismantled and sent hub to favourite Manchester shops for building

Instead of a rubber seal, how about a thick plastic to full the gap, but i suppose it depends on whether you need it to keep water out or not
