Re: Sticky BB

Re: Sticky BB
Silky smooth? No notchyness ? I've certainly had bbs go stiff in the past, they don't usually come completely back to life tho, at least not without some sign of notchyness Want any help figuring out what it is? I'd say as smooth as it's ever been, it's very odd Any pointers in figuring out a repla...

Re: Sticky BB
Sorry chaps should've said, I locked the rear mech and popped the chain of the front ring after checking a few other things, I did think it was a jockey wheel at first, so yeah definitely the BB It's really weird, it's normally smooth and pretty much silent, it was fine last time I was out about 10 ...

Sticky BB
Lubing up before a ride this morning my BB wasn't happy about something, I could barely back pedal to lube the chain. I was in two minds whether to abandon the ride but in the end I thought sod it and set off anyway, I was waiting for a spectacular failure but after a few rotations it seemed to sort...

Re: The end of gas stoves: a genuinely new approach to boiling water?
My mates used to build TEG stoves like these 20 years ago, they'd turn up with a big bag of wooden cat litter pellets as they were the best fuel, it always seemed a bit daft to me carrying fuel for a wood stove.

Re: Pile / Pertex and the moon on a stick.
+1 for the Hydrogen, I have the smock version
Pertex outer and Alpha lining, great for regulating on the move but not as toasty as my Special 6 shirt was when static. It's still a beast though and doesn't come out until around November time for me
ME Kinesis would be a less warm option
