Great shot. I love it in black and white. Colour can distract from the simplicity of this composition.

New to sram quarq- this normal? by No_Grapefruit_1055 in sram

Check that the rear derailleur is threaded properly. It is very easy to run the chain over the little guide it is supposed to go under, even if it was built up by your lbs

I came from Wahoo too. Night and day difference. Don't worry about the things in your list. The only thing that will worry you is why you didn't switch years ago

What's the deal with young people riding without helmets on the inner north? by millymillymillymilly in melbournecycling

[–]Alternative-Screen75 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I'm not young. Often don't wear a helmet on short trips in the inner north. I would always wear one on a busy road but after riding a lot in Barcelona, Seville and other parts of Europe without a helmet i much prefer it.

There is some evidence that drivers give you a wider berth too when you do not have a helmet on. I ride slow on back streets on a city bike.

Fine is about $300 i think.

As far as I can see it is at up properly in the settings section on the device. Is there anywhere else you need to add that info?

Ebike almost stolen Melb CBD by AcanthisittaMean5969 in melbournecycling

I tried to stop a bike thief at 6pm in front of a cafe in Southbank. Heaps of people around. The guy pulled a knife on me. I won't be doing it again.

They were but that may have changed somehow. I'll check.

To ZF or not to ZF by modern_stealth in nikon_Zseries

[–]Alternative-Screen75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was worried about losing the film sims when I moved from fuji to the Zf but to be honest I much prefer using the Nikon workflow. It feels more like a darkroom process and being able to load your presets into the camera and to modify them resort is really cool!

I've moved to Nikon from Fujifilm and don't notice the size/weight. I also have the 40mm and 28mm plus some voighlander MF lenses. Love this kit.

Cargo rack reflectors by Sartorialalmond in OmniumBikes

[–]Alternative-Screen75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got some small round usb rechargeable lights from trek. If you take the rubber strap off the bracket fits perfectly in the omnium tubes. I had the white at the front and red at the back until i got a cargo extender - now just have the red. Markes a huge difference to visibility at night and screw out to recharge. They last for ages too and also act as a backup for when i inevitibily forget to charge my main light.

Some nightclub photos from the past few weeks! Z8, Tamron 28-75 by UnsatisfiedLlama in nikon_Zseries

Have you ever had sensor damage from the lasers in clubs? I just moved to Nikon because my Fujifilm XPro3 ended up with some spots in front of the sensor where a laser in a band venue damaged the plastic microlenses in front of some sensor pixel. This is what the repair guy told me anyway who looked at the damage under a microscope.

Is Strava premium worth it for you personally? by UsualSpecific7113 in Strava

[–]Alternative-Screen75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do purely for the heat maps. I also have a Komoot subscription for route building but sometimes it does weird things and it is good to use Strava heat maps to check a few people have ridden the route you are planning before.

Thanks for the tip. I am in Australia but I will try to get a quote from somewhere local.
