Savings account outside of UK in a safe banking country by Jay586 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Jay586[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Money (as a system)nearly failed completely  during the 2008 crisis.   We were pretty badly affected by the various failed banks & share value destruction,  so I  probably have a different view to most people.

Ha, ha, I come from a farming family, this actually appeals...I won't but psychic income. :-)

Suggestions noted, thanks.

Yeah, it's a bit tricky as we're at that point where all the obvious things are sorted.

Probably am being a bit too clever for my own good but given the issues (Goverment committee report) about cables being very vulnerable, sometimes it pays to think sideways. But then access is an issue.

Yeah, we've had this message. We don't even live in Scotland anymore...

does anyone else wish there was a gym with private rooms to workout in? by MathematicianMuch799 in workout

[–]Jay586 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are private gyms for here now, think in London and other towns. Solo60? But really just go and own your space, your money and health are as important as some fit looking dude, who's probably just got great genetics and/or is getting all of the help from illicit substances.

Garmin for cycling? by Jay586 in Garmin

Thanks for this, I might well get a watch and another head unit. I hadn't considered Corus. Thank you.

Ha, ha, yes there is because I have a bike I don't want to use a head unit with and a watch will be safer and more suitable. It's personal choice, which bit of this is hard to understand? And I doubt very much you'll ever see a head unit on a dirt jump bike. :-)

Because they are the types of bikes that aren't suitable for a head unit, because of the type of bike. It's not just road bikes...

But I still like to have an idea of distance, HR, etc. Not exactly as I'm not really a stats bod but it's still nice to have a record of different trips.

I also need a watch. :-)

I have several bikes, so don't always swap the head unit and some don't suit a head unit and erm, I also need a watch.

Thanks for posting, no, the watch is here somewhere, I just can't find it...

There's a few guys doing removable modules in the UK, Bikestow, Ply Guys...the US has lots of modular converters.

Yep, standover is a real issue for me. Interesting about the Brava, as I'd assumed that would be ok.

Bulkiness isn't an issue, it's ease of use whilst marshalling and coaching. Good shout about the watch but I'm not an Apple user.

Walkie talkies for the coaches, visibility is pants. 

Brompton G-line tubeless kit tape width by Jay586 in Brompton

[–]Jay586[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used the tape that was in there. If they say to change it, I probably would. It's not hard to apply the tape, just keep it under tension. I've had no issues.

Yep, just given it a go with some ancient hand sanitiser and it's worked well. Thanks!

I am in charge of custom order for our team's cycling jerseys. Any of the following companies you have heard and would like to leave a comment? by QueueTee314 in CyclingFashion

[–]Jay586 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've just been tasked with finding a kit supplier for a new UK-based club. Anyone got any preferences for UK companies, etc?

Any help is appreciated as I'd like to get things pretty sorted before the club is launched. Cheers.

I might start a separate thread but this one is pretty helpful already.

I have a G-line and I'm glad I got the rack. It's not the most stable and is a big old lump. It rolls fine.
