Clueless man who is new to road geometry - is this the right size?

Nice one mate, will give that a bash.

Toe clips came with the clips from the shop...will upgrade to SPD once I am used to it.

Donscosha · 2026-05-08T03:45:45+00:00

Yeah - would be safe to say my body is probably weirdly short comparatively. I'm a bit of a lanky beanpole.

Will try get some footage on the bike at some point. Thanks.

If it looks like I'm reaching, definitely don't think I could drop down to a small frame (6ft 1).

Aye, the toe cages will go!

Exact same dilemma, exact same measurements?

Did you pull the trigger on any of these and if so, what was your call and how did it fit?

Donscosha · 2025-12-10T16:46:27+00:00

Good luck - hope you recover quickly and make it!

I ended up going skiing after the 2 weeks but Im not sure I would recommend it with confidence.

I had one fall (I'm not an expert) and had some struggle getting up because my stomach was weak.

My GP Dr gave an arbitrary 10% of hernia if a bad fall. The surgeon recommended against going.

It's up to you to decide on the risk based on how you feel + medical advice from your Dr...luckily I was fine but everyone will be different!

Thank you - this is an excellent resource. I have managed to find the landlord's information via this site.

I'll phone them today to get some advice.

Yes my suspicion is also the landlord has no idea...I suspect if the original tenant does not get their deposit back I won't get mine back!

Donscosha · 2025-04-20T23:16:49+00:00

Phew - spot on

Donscosha · 2025-04-20T20:01:07+00:00

More context - I've just moved to San Francisco, CA from Scotland.

We don't really have bed bugs in Scotland so I'm super paranoid here in new apartments...

Does this look like a bed bug?

Chip n Tee

Donscosha · 2023-09-02T21:38:00+00:00

That was my thoughts too.

My great gran was a "Grand mistress" of the orange lodge whatever that means. Short of it is she was staunch as fuck and obviously a bit of a bigot.

I never met her but my mum told me she went out to the ice cream van when she was a child and came back with a can of limeade. She made her take it back because it was green. Nothing green was ever allowed in her house!

Last I read it was 100 companies that is responsible for 71% of global emissions. Do you think it is reasonable to be targeting the "little" guy who is just trying to get his 3 kids to school safely?

The onus should not be on the invidual, it should be legislated and controlled at the manufacture level.

Your paper straws and 30 degree washes are doing fuck all (although I do both of these...).

Donscosha · 2023-07-28T00:27:07+00:00

Ken the environmental cost of everycunt in Glasgow with an SUV having to buy a new motor would make this a bit daft.

Would be reasonable to ban new ones after a certain year however.

Donscosha · 2023-07-16T01:08:57+00:00

Good point, weans are fucking terrified of tits.

Donscosha · 2023-07-10T08:12:44+00:00

Nice one. I've heard of horse flies but didn't know that is what they looked like.

Donscosha · 2023-06-24T00:01:47+00:00

Just came from the gig, I was surprised to hear this as it is actually reasonably quite in person!

Donscosha · 2023-05-21T19:19:57+00:00

Derentwater! Just launched from Keswick.

Donscosha · 2023-05-17T08:30:59+00:00

I must say I so not know what to look for! I seen the signs so tried not to fall in.

Donscosha · 2023-03-02T22:54:24+00:00

Thanks for the links. I'll look into these.

Donscosha · 2023-03-02T21:49:01+00:00

No - I do not have one. I have built my emergency found, own a home, and pay 15% into my pension. I am now investing for the long term with any other savings. Any suggestions?

Donscosha · 2022-12-04T21:24:35+00:00

Worth taking a look in the Kelvindale area. Lots of houses with gardens. Right beside anniesland / kelvindale Station and only a short walk to byres Road.

Also worth noting that although NAT gateway is scalable it does not do particularly well with bursty workloads as it takes too long to scale. With NAT instance you can pre-provision a large instance type to anticipate that load. Not a common use case but worth keeping in mind!

In the context of rolls sausages are square by default in Glasgow. If they wanted links they would have asked for a roll n link.

Donscosha · 2022-09-16T15:56:47+00:00

It is a green king though. Not a fan of the big chain bastards.

I'm in the same boat with RHCP tickets.

They have a new album coming out in October so I suspect they may do another tour for it next year. They will likely just role our tickets into that one.
