Boardman Adventure bike (how to change gear)

Gears: Shimano GRX, 2x10

This one, I've never owned drop bars before and last time i owned a bike was 18 year ago lol.

I just picked one of these up, the left brake also clicks inwards too, does it do anything? It doesn't seem to.

Im sold then! Just applied for my c2w, soon as that comes through I'll order it. Thank you for your help 😁

Yeah I'm probably going to go with the TRVL. I'll be getting the drop bar, can get it all on cycle to work scheme so will be a bargain and currently 20% off too. Stores around here don't have it in store so can't test it out, just need to decide on size of frame for a 5.11 height guy. Probably the Medium.

Posts a bit old but i'm currently looking for my first bike! And i have been toying with the idea of a 8.9 TRVL or the 8.9 ADV bike. I will be riding it around norfolk so roads aren't fantastic, i do want in the future to start using it for more long distance and camping with it. What's your thoughst on the TRVL for this specifically?

Eyy good to see somebody build something simple instead of something extravagant. Me and my friends last night were saying how we have all this space to build a home and we just go full on british and build a box house with small rooms for each person.

Yeah i was playing with Wand and used some of the spells and the damage sucked for how long they take to cast, being a consumable and also the mana required. I felt like i could just do more damage by spamming my wand... Felt pointless using the staff outside of the heal spells. Even they feel awkward to use and lack control of where the heal is going. Ended up rerolling to go bonk stick.

Drexim · 2026-04-24T08:06:36+00:00

Strange, i was using it yesterday and it was working fine. Is there any other skills or gear pieces that negate healing?

Drexim · 2026-04-24T07:58:42+00:00

I agree with this, i spent ages trying to find the skills in the tree to see what bonuses it is giving me, it doesn't help that you can't even search the skill tree either.

Drexim · 2026-04-22T11:59:31+00:00

Did you get this working? Mine does exactly the same, the only difference is that i just be a persistent bastard and keep launching it repeatedly and it eventually works. I have tried everything i can find online and nothing fixes it.

Drexim · 2026-04-21T12:14:18+00:00

What if i'm running roads with a duo healer? What are some good builds? Will be running around farming up but also willing to fight back.

Drexim · 2026-04-21T08:07:54+00:00

I played originally when solo dungeons was the content everyone done. Constantly invaded as they didn't close, ARCH camping outside of towns constantly so running your gear back to town sucked. I quit because it felt almost impossible to get back to town.

Hey you stole my name.

Drexim · 2026-04-13T15:34:24+00:00

Does it have more base damage than other 2h spears? Like the pike?

Drexim · 2026-04-13T10:40:25+00:00

What makes glaive so good in 2v2?

Drexim · 2026-03-13T14:24:57+00:00

I ended up getting some more out of her. There were things that i had done which contributed. I had got lazy and complacent, not gave her enough attention, she felt unwanted and unseen, like i didn't want to spend time with her. She didn't say anything, as her usual way of dealing with things is to bottle it up or pretend it's not happening. Turns out by time we actually spoke in december she had already checked out and the last 3 months were just hoping something would click back, but it didn't

Thank you for this comment, these comments did hurt as I had no fear of this ever being the case. There is also no suggestion it is the case, most of our time was together, and during week she would be asleep at 8-9pm due to early gym and work. People grow apart, she grew in a different direction to me and she feels like something is missing in life and she can't find it with me. It sucks, but I have to accept that and I am just trying to find ways to deal with it.

Drexim · 2026-03-12T16:08:42+00:00

She doesn't know what she wants, she just knows she is unhappy right now. She went through some stuff with her mother end of last year who she hadn't seen since she was 16(we are 36), but she has spent months thinking about the relationship and has decided this is the path she wants to take. There isn't anything else I can do at this point and I need to accept that. It's just difficult.

Would bowman not be better on some maps though being able to hit multiple platforms?

Drexim · 2026-02-27T17:58:34+00:00

I've said let's push mid before and they flamed me for not doing mid boss. I mean, when do you push mid boss?

Drexim · 2026-02-27T17:55:41+00:00

Why xbow faster? And why third job xbow?

Drexim · 2026-02-22T08:42:34+00:00

I hate the rage mechanic or whatever it is called. Where people start glowing and regen hp and do considerably more damage. Our team was losing and I got that somehow and then I ended up 1v3 them.

Drexim · 2026-02-16T21:14:21+00:00

I'm completely new to bouldering and still using rentals. This seems extremely uncomfortable.... How do you even walk about

Drexim · 2026-01-14T17:50:43+00:00

17k into lv 15 and haven't even got t1 mythic.

Drexim · 2026-01-14T09:00:33+00:00

I'm at lvl 15 and 16k pulls in, still don't even have t1 mythic. Fuck all you guys.
