Re: National Cycle Museum in Llandrindod Wells
I had no idea that was there. Used to make periodical visits, a long time ago, as my father-in-law used to work in a hotel, there. As an aside, for those of you who never go to central Wales.

Re: Centre Lock lockring
It depends on the size of your axle. The ones with notches on the inside are supplied with QR hubs, the outside type are used with 15 and 20mm through-axle hubs. This. Also, there are two different thicknesses of the second type, and I needed the thinner type, to avoid fouling my fork (road bike).

Re: Veloviewer map - explorer tiles
. One possible solution is to click on the ride that previously "ticked" the box and re-import it into VV - this bypasses the sampling process and the new ride uses all the data points. Where in the UI do you do this? Cannot see that option on either the activities map or list. I don't ne...

Re: Centre lock rotor standards?
You may also have to use a different lock ring, depending on the clearance.on your forks (had issues with my road bike) as there are rings of different thicknesses and some have internal splines, for a traditional locking tool, whereas others have external splines, for use with a BB tool

It is a bit plasticky, as some reviews have said, but it's a raincoat, so that doesn't bother me. It's surprisingly non-bulky ( was thi...

Re: DrJon Strapdeck --Klickfix combo.
Have done something very similar with a smaller strapdeck but, for various reasons, haven't tried it out for real.
Will try to post some pictures, soon.

Re: Mind blown
Take any multiple of 9
Add its digits together
If the result has more than one digit, go back to the previous step.
The final, single digit, result is 9
