All's well that ends well. https://road.cc/content/news/ebay-seller-refuses-accept-bike-auction-offer-280079 EBB. Does anyone service their EBB? Mine is the split shell with pinch bolts on the bottom so an open slot at the bottom. The HT2 BB is contained in the sealed(?) EBB shell so protected from ...

Anyone tried these? https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/jan/13/yellow-mealworm-safe-for-humans-to-eat-says-eu-food-safety-agency Even the EU approve. I've got some cricket powder, to just mix in with other stuff when cooking...I like the idea of it, very expensive though Didn't know you pl...

If you look at early CTC photos and RSF archive then the bike style of 'choice' is mainly drop bar. I would dare to suggest that tradition is on their side. :shock: However if you look at cycle touring from the golden era (?) 1920s and 30s you will see a mixture of bikes and handlebar configurations...

Even the EU approve.

And that is not a northern accent.

Anyone got their blue passport yet?

The Christmas period is when I do paperwork so applied for a new passport online.
Acknowledged receipt 24.12.2020
Processed and in the post back today.
I have a blue EU cover.

I quite fancy these for my mason. I assume you've used them? Do they stay put off road?

Yes fitted on a Stooge with short chain stays so needed fettling.

SKS VeloFlexx 65.
(If you buy these the secret is to fit the yoke on the rear mudguard backwards and not as shown in the instructions)

Thought I might have been onto a winner until somebody mentioned grease.
I have DT Swiss hubs so need their two types of special grease distilled from powdered Unicorn horn and Dragon tears.
Then I realised that DT Swiss hubs I don't have this problem.

I was about to suggest that it would be easy enough to fabricate something but a quick google seems to indicate that it is a 'bastard' thread size 30.5mm x 1.1mm or 23.1 tpi which is not available on most lathes. Would a simple plastic/nylon flanged tube trapped by the lockring work? This could be t...

All the small stuff that is too easy to overtighten.
Strangely not BB or cassette.
Found myself struggling to remove RS Stealth axle the other day so when it came to refitting glanced at my torque set then thought nah.

That wearable sleeping bag is so wrong yet somehow I want one.

Meanwhile over on road cc

Never seen or heard of that before so I feel qualified to comment. :lol: It appears to have seven strings, 23.5 frets, with scale length not stated. How many octaves can you get? Looks like an electric version of a Brahms Guitar except the Brahms has eight strings and played vertically like a cello....

or is there a copyright on it?

Yeah but it belongs to me (well, Dee really)

So it would/wouldn't be available?

Just had to replace the battery pack on an aged Bosch drill. Before I take it to the recycling does anyone want/need it? It is 14.4V 1.2Ah 4/5Cs NiCd. Lots on youtube on how to test service/replace them. This does not hold a charge so probably only one or two cells have failed. Free + postage or eve...

To the stars and beyond - via substandard creek.

Will the zombie bear logo be available or is there a copyright on it?

These apparently fit under your helmet - price alert https://veracycling.fr/index.php/casquettes-velo-hiver-winter-cycling-caps/ but that's the French for you. I wear what I believe is called a beanie that came attached to the cover of an MTB magazine thirty years ago. For cold/not so cold days an e...

I know Devon's the hinterlands but you really should consider letting her use the inside toilet in those circumstances

What's an inside toilet?

Probably too late but do look at Screwfix https://www.screwfix.com/c/electrical-lighting/led-head-torch/cat8340002?producttype=led_headlamp Just got one for Mrs M to save her treading on badgers/foxes/squirrels or tripping over the deer that has moved in when she is on night manoeuvres in the garden.

Ditto remarks about riding position but with a medium frame. If you want to see Fargo builds with Loops then Keep Pedalling have some custom build photos. Also have a look through TDF riders r1gs quite a few use this set up. Guitar Ted also has reviews and thoughts on Fargo/Loops. I was going to con...

Easily done.

These https://www.sks-germany.com/en/products/velo-serie/velo-65-mountain-29-zoll/ Bought the wrong ones need Veloflexx not Velo. :oops: Please check the mounting you need as I don’t do returns either. Suit Gravel bike with 29er/700 wheels and mounting eyes on frame and forks. Appears to be compatib...

Going in via Chrome seems be stuck in a strange Flickr world with no log in or log out. It shows me my photos but is trying to sell me Pro. Edge allows me to log in and out and upload. It is only the means to post the occasional photo so no great store of photos. Wish I had photographed the snipper ...

Thursday. What a mudfest. The mud was so thick and sticky that on one of my favourite gentle downhill sections of a green road I had to peddle in a low gear just to keep going. Had to use my water bottle as a pressure jet to free up the FD at one point and up on Woodbury there was a sniper having a ...
