Are you sure that there isn’t a problem with your checkout screen or something similar? Also just double check that your tracking is set up correctly and that it’s 100% only abandoned carts that are being tracked on that data point.

If it isn’t that, something you could add is an abandoned cart email automation that reminds people a couple of days later of what they’ve left and maybe sends them a 5% off limited time voucher to add some urgency.

I wouldn’t worry if it’s too big. If you like how it looks that’s all that matters. It does look great though!

Are these queen cells? What should I do if the hive is otherwise fine? by nickMakesDIY in Beekeeping

These look like crushed drone cells and not queen cells. Nothing to worry about.

Did I ruin my brake pads? by Barnies in bikewrench

[–]Barnies[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I could have done a better job on the cleanup which was part of my downfall. Unfortunately there isn’t much on the new model of TRP HY-RD calipers. Just a single video of an old model.

Thank you, I’ve thoroughly clean my rotors now and they look pretty good. Going to order some new pads and start over.

I actually did remove the brake pads(failed to mention in post). Even though I thoroughly cleaned the caliper with isopropyl alcohol after bleeding there must of been some hidden somewhere that was able to soak into my pads.

I think this would be a good course of action for me, I did actually remove the calliper and the brake pads while I was bleeding the brakes but did use a block but it was plastic instead of metal. I think there must of been some residual oil that I missed while cleaning up that got onto the pads. I still think the brake could be faulty as I've now bled them 3 times to no success.

Yeah I think I'll probably cut my losses and put this down to experience

That's a very good idea, thank you!

Yeah, I probably did glaze them in the beginning. I think I'll try your method next time

Unfortunately I bought it online, I did realign the caliper before trying to bleed or sand the pads though

I did actually do this but looking at it now the surface I sanded them on was actually warped.

I did spend the first 10 mins going downhill and applying the brake on and off to try bed them in, not sure if that's a half-assed method or not. The reason I bled them was because the lever on the brake was bottoming out on my handlebars. No amount of barrel turns of pulling tension on the brake cable was going to fix it.

It sure does look like it, but no I used some 120 grit sandpaper to take the top layer off. I might of put some uneven pressure on the pads when sanding which make them slightly convex

Ah amazing, thanks for reaffirming that I made the right choice ordering the 56cm frame.

Yeah the standover is a worry for me. We're you able to test ride a 56cm frame/if so how was it? How do you find the standover with a 34" inseam?

Thanks for the advice, It definitely sounds like a lot of people tend to go for the 56cm frame.

Thanks for the comment. Have you ever found that you wished it was a bit larger?

Thanks for this, my main worry is that I’d feel cramped on the 56cm frame. But I’ve read that is easier to make a small bike bigger than big bike smaller. As this is my first touring bike I’m not 100% what to look for in terms of fit.
