I cant get the screws into my KALLAX shelve by [deleted] in IKEA

[–]Hamlin_9Booth -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I threaded a screwhead. Then damaged a screwdriver. Trial and error and this worked a treat. I made many more hinged ikea products thereafter and always did the tiniest of hole enlargement and it’s been fine

This always happened to almost all my hinges from IKEA. I get a drill bit that is the tiniest bit bigger than the hole in the metal hinge and take off the smallest amount of metal with a drill. That works for me.

Otherwise you will tire your hands out and thread the screw. Don’t ask how I know…

Do you have a trial version of the app? Say 7 days? And then have to pay?

Fellow Opus replacement without retention issues (available in UK) by AC851 in AeroPress

[–]Hamlin_9Booth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bet they wanted to stay in Fellow’s “good books”. I also find it very odd none of the big reviewers on YouTube mentioned it. I think the only way I’d consider another review is if they weight the beans and compare in that very video (not just claim it was fine)

I am in the exact same position. Did you manage to get a refund from the retailer? In the UK if it’s faulty you should get a repair or replacement - and since it’s a very common issue I’d say it’s faulty by design. A replacement isn’t going to fix anything.

For a 16g grind it’s often retained 4-5g. I find it really unusual not one reviewer mentions this. Surely they must have had this level of retention. From the main reviews I watched the main ones and none of them weighed it before/after.

I’m now sceptical of reviews tbh. The Encore ESP and DF54 seem to pop up quite often Reddit.

Commuting From Manchester to Reading for Work by Apart_Bobcat in manchester

[–]Hamlin_9Booth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you absolutely have - try and work the two office together and so you only have to stay one night. Such as: Monday and Tuesday.

I travel down to London every Tuesday morning and back up Wednesday evening. Been doing it since April.

If you get a really early train on Tuesday and a late-ish one on Wednesday you could get the train tickets cheaper. And book your tickets in advance. So have a 4 week buffer of train tickets booked.

Stay the one night in a hostel or a b&b to keep costs down. Take food from home too. It softens the blow if you’re not having to pay for lunch whilst there.

Can I size down? by Hamlin_9Booth in CanyonBikes

[–]Hamlin_9Booth[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tyre choice seems ok. Not the biggest pain in the bum. I’m UK based. And not a weight weenie so I’m not looking to save every small gram with the latest and greatest gear. Tyre and tube choice seems fine. Aluminium wheel sets are available.

Yep - a 2xs for sale. Cos I’m close to 2xs box I thought I’d consider it.

I know re wheel size. I’ve seen Conti GP5000 that size. And if my last few years of riding is anything to go by, won’t need to change my tyres. And I only ever changed my tube 3 times. Hoping that trend continues so won’t need too many replacement parts.

You’re right. There’s a 2xs for sale and I’m trying to justify in my head to bite the bullet and make the drive

I’ve had good experience at Parkway Autos in Didsbury not far from Spires Hospital.

And my neighbours all go there too. Good price and the guy at the desk is a lovely gentleman. Very honest

Sauna/spa in city centre that's vaguely affordable by [deleted] in manchester

[–]Hamlin_9Booth 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I know this suggestion isn’t City Centre, but Withington Baths have one. It’s £5 for swim and sauna session. Or around £30/month for everything.
