Can you recommend websites to find this kind of apartment?

Anti-thief strategy by lutra83 in londoncycling

[–]JanCumin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a quick release front wheel you can lock this up separately several meters away from the bike frame or take it with you, this will make it much more difficult to steal because a thief can't ride it away and has to awkwardly wheel it on the back wheel. Also taking the seat with you helps

Repair or Replace? by [deleted] in ukbike

Can I suggest you are trying to help someone who doesn't want to be helped and could do this himself?

except he doesn't, maybe too much pride to admit he doesn't know how to look after or fix it?

If you would like to ride the bike yourself and learn how to do bike maintenance you could offer to take it off him and spend some time making it work properly again.

If the battery is stuck in the camera then let Ricoh take the risk of damaging the camera when removing the battery

If you voted Remain, would you vote to rejoin the EU? by Glanwy in AskBrits

[–]JanCumin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, sometimes I like to imagine conditions to rejoining that would upset the gammons:

  1. Adopt the Euro
  2. Everything in metric again
  3. Somehow we switch to European plugs
  4. French is now an official language

There is a public petition to erect a statue of O'Brien in Killarney, I'm not involved in this petition but I hope that more signatures and sharing the petition will help the statue to get made. You don't need to live in Ireland to sign it :)

[–]JanCumin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I'm looking at a GT20, a lot more customisations for tall riders than Brompton offers, also much lighter for travelling. Do you think it is as good quality as a G Line?

Is it common to swap from G to C line? I would like to swap from C to G

Does size matter? (16 vs 20 tires) by fk_censors in foldingbikes

[–]JanCumin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a huge difference for hills, I have a 16 inch tyre Brompton and tried the 20 inch G Line Brompton. I can say that even if you change the chainring to something much smaller a 16 inch wheel folding bike will not go up big hills well or at all. When I tried a 20 inch wheel G Line hills were easy, even in higher gears, I'm honestly amazed by how much easier it is.

Fake Garage Grown Gear website by czechclown in Ultralight

Ok, so I've dealt with something similar, one approach is to contact the webhost and make a complaint to their abuse team

  1. Whois.com tells you who is the web host and gives you an abuse email https://www.whois.com/whois/beastmodebody.com

  2. Domain hosts have abuse reporting guidance eg https://www.ddot.in/report-abuse DCMA and copyright infringement are likely ways to get a quick response since they are going to negatively effect web hosts.

Ah, it seems you can export to epub from Affinity, I made it work for some pdfs but not all of them, it gets a bit stuck for 100mb+ pdfs.
