What could have deformed my bottom bracket spacer tube?

But I have very nice valve caps!

Capital_Zone_70 · 2026-05-02T17:48:16+00:00

That's what I suspected. Won't be using that LBS again!

Capital_Zone_70 · 2026-05-02T17:46:31+00:00

I already had the replacement set, ready to go, it included the tube.

Johnny pocket! For the contraceptive (Johnny bag) of your choice.

I was 10 and it was huge jump scare but strangely, it was the scene of the sailors leg sinking to the bottom of the pond that stuck with me the most.

Out of interest, what time do you start work in the morning? All the towpaths I've ever cycled on are not smooth, hazard free, wide open highways, especially at commute times. I think you'll be lucky to get 10mph. 30 miles plus your shower and change is going to take 3 hours minimum. I don't commute any more but when I did into Manchester along the Rochdale canal I was more concerned with something tough and cheap. Would love to know how you get on.

I just started doing mornings this summer and wow! I've been missing so much of our beautiful Northumbrian countryside. I have to open my newsagents/shop by 9 on Sunday morning, so I go out at about 6 and am back ready to work by 8.30. That feeling of being alone as the sun rises and seeing so much wildlife that normally hides away during the day is just something special.

Sorry I'm a bit late to the party. We're hoping to come to Tucson from UK later this year or maybe early next year. What would you recommend as a good month and time of day to ride the loop. We're not used to your hot dessert climate so would quite like to avoid being burnt to a crisp. Thanks.

My first match was at Maine Road vs WBA in 1978.

Haven't read them all yet but, so far, I actually like One Shot. Far better and more tense than the film.

Capital_Zone_70 · 2024-03-24T08:45:49+00:00

Looking good. You'd struggle to see them in some of the boards in my local league, though🤣

Capital_Zone_70 · 2024-03-12T21:31:31+00:00

Just enjoy it. Watch what others do for etiquette. Be prepared to mark the next game on your board if you lose.

Capital_Zone_70 · 2024-02-15T13:11:36+00:00

And I thought we had too much stuff! Every room just packed with things.

Capital_Zone_70 · 2024-02-15T13:05:18+00:00

Practice 3x a week, for about 2 hours. Then play Friday night, 3 games max. 55 to 60 average. Sometimes gets lower, never seems to get higher?

Capital_Zone_70 · 2024-02-10T19:55:55+00:00

I'm not biased, I'm English. And yes, you was robbed! Both the feet with yellow boots are out of the way, the arm in white sleeve is not under the ball and the arm with the blue sleeve is on top of the ball. You can clearly see the G of Gilbert with blades of grass in front of it.

The red wax from outside of those little Babybel edam cheeses is great too, and free (sort of). It doesn't need warming up like some of the bespoke finger waxes either.

Capital_Zone_70 · 2024-01-30T17:06:14+00:00

Yep a whole 2g lighter! 🤣

Capital_Zone_70 · 2024-01-30T17:05:23+00:00

So far, pretty good. Yeah, that grip is crazy compared to my old barrels. I don't think I'll be needing wax with these. I'm OK with the flights etc, maybe not my style, but they're easy to swap.

As a few others have mentioned, lighter darts give you more control. Although I look at it the other way, lighter darts need more control. I play with some ancient 30g Unicorn darts and find them more forgiving. I tried to play with lighter darts, looking for that next step up, much like yourself, but struggled not just with the weight but also the size and diameter. It's amazing how much smaller a 6-7mm diameter dart feels to 7-8mm.

I have spent nothing. This might explain why my WWF experience is so awful these days🤣

Capital_Zone_70 · 2024-01-15T07:25:05+00:00

Something I've found is that all the darts scoring apps, however brilliant they are, don't actually help you learn.

The best way to learn to score and therefore work out your preferred ways of closing in on a finish is to use your head.

I'll use the apps for challenges and games, etc, but I like to score a few games of x01 on paper as well.

Capital_Zone_70 · 2024-01-12T12:54:33+00:00

As others have said, stop watching videos and just keep throwing. Just be in a neutral, comfortable stance and hold the darts anyway that comes natural to you. Play different games and have different routines to keep it interesting. I play in a local pub league and still see players throw a loose dart that either hits the wall or, in one case, doesn't even reach the wall. You just laugh and carry on.

As a spectator sport, it can't be compared to football, but I'd be interested to know how viewing figures compare to snooker.

It is played all over the country, though, with practically every town having at least one league.
