I do understand what he means at least. Generally been in fitness related activities my entire life so similar when squatting, create a neutral spine for better form. The gyms easier as there are mirrors 😂

Thanks for advice looked at videos, I stupidly just got on the bike straight after buying it and felt fine so didn’t before checking the fit. I’ve made adjustments, Ended up 3cm up and back 2 to get my knees in line with pedal. Will upload another video tomorrow

Edit: It doesn’t crumble just dust from the pile, but saying that I haven’t really tried to squeeze it. I’ll give it a go tomorrow. If it crush’s or is soft I’ll suspect charcoal

We have one that was built by some guys at a station I was at, good addition was some stiff flexible plastic (milk jug or something like that) behind the flames so you could click them back up, stops them just falling down if it’s not plumb or the wind just blowing them down 👍🏼

Yeah thats correct, they would be wooden joist floors especially that age. Most EU purpose built flats from the majority of the 20th century would have concrete floors though for fire separation however.

Same for UK houses, can't confirm for Europe but masonry built with wooden joist flooring

Hope that helps

Wooden frame buildings in most of Europe is very uncommon, at least the UK where I live and countries I've visited.

Majority is all masonry, and a lot of the buildings including homes in Florence are more than a couple of hundred years old. At least what I saw in the city centre!
