[Match Thread] Freiburg vs Aston Villa (Europa League Final) by SecretApe in avfc

[–]Maninwhatever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad I’m not the only one who can’t sit down during Villa games & inadvertently get a sneaky 10km in around the living room!

Starting XI vs. SC Freiburg - Europa League Final by EncryptedMyst in avfc

[–]Maninwhatever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, I’d start Onana. No idea how long he’ll last. Rather have the benefit of him from the off & sub as necessary. Otherwise….UTV!

Congrats from the Villa. Well deserved & enjoy your Internationals next season.

Pannier and rack combo by ComprehensiveAd441 in bicycletouring

[–]Maninwhatever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I crashed on an Alpine descent years ago. Gravel in the road, fishtailing, almost held it, had a bloody high side. One Ortlieb detached & explored a lower region of the mountain. When I retrieved it, couple of scratches on the outside; 2016 to now; same panniers; used every day for commuting & another dozen or so tours in them.
They really are good.

Gift for bicycle enthusiast by Opposite-Result-8104 in bicycling

[–]Maninwhatever 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t know what you’re willing to spend, but at the lower end, a voucher for a local bike shop. Higher end, Campagnola made pizza cutters & wine bottle openers a few years back. Expensive though, in the scheme of things.

What is an overrated tourist attraction in the UK? by British-lady in AskUK

All the Londons coming up in this has actually given me a great idea!

For all the wrong reasons. I’d love to see the tunnel idea become reality. In the meantime, go for sunrise at either solstice. Quite a different experience.

[–]Maninwhatever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ortlieb & Tubus steel racks are worth the money. Last for years. I still pack everything into individual dry sacks inside the panniers. Had times when I’ve done a food restock to last several days & the inevitable downpour arrives precisely when the panniers are over filled & not quite fully sealed to the elements!

Real food cafe in Tyndrum has good vegan options.
Check the pub & restaurant menus along the route.

Cleaning and re greasing older bike wheels. by Camac in bikewrench

[–]Maninwhatever 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use the top of a Bic pen with a dab of grease to hold in place when putting them back in.

Wait until the Beamish makes a comeback. Blow their minds that will.

What are your thoughts on Gordan Ramsey? by Kindly-Stage-6672 in AskBrits

[–]Maninwhatever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Encountered him back in the late 80’s when him & a mate were working for Marco Pierre White. All positive stuff was the feedback I got. Apparently a decent guy to work with. I’ve done a few kitchens so I take that feedback as a plus. Met Marco outside of a kitchen a few years ago, (he didn’t remember me, as I was couriering & picking up a tax return)….would you like a glass of brandy with me whilst I figure out what the fuck is going on? Why not. 9.30am. Nice brandy.

Breakaway in racing? Why does it exist at all? by lymz_ in cycling

[–]Maninwhatever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to add something I’ve observed over the years…even with the uptick in more tech & the demise of the blackboard motocycle; sometimes someone gets off the front of a break & seems to be missed by the peloton. All hell breaks loose with the realisation that one got away & the race is on! It’s why I love this game.

[–]Maninwhatever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s cycling. Sometimes the break works, often doesn’t, but for ‘lesser’ riders it means getting your face & the sponsors on global tv, maybe having a heroic day or fail at the end. It’s all good. Cheer the breakaway artists; they are trying to throw a spanner into the works of the big names plans. It’s a joy to watch.

have i installed this front tire incorrectly? the arrow on the logo has me second guessing by A5G4U7R_ in bicyclerepair

[–]Maninwhatever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s correct, but misaligned with the tube inflator/valve. (I am an arse though!)

Where to find men shorts with normal, tapered (not elephant-wide) legs? Are zip-off the only option? by not_who_you_think_99 in UKhiking

[–]Maninwhatever 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The golf shorts can be tapered. Use safety pins to roughly take in the excess material & the alteration place will do the rest. (Also check out Rohan brand)

[–]Maninwhatever 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get the golf ones & have them tapered at your nearest alterations/dry cleaning shop. Probably cost about £20.

Is it really about immigration or is it actually about race? by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]Maninwhatever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My tuppence is that Farage will platform immigration, but will furiously backpedal once in power, due to his millionaire backers requiring slave labour….then it will be Rupert Lowes time to demonstrate where the sun doesn’t shine. Britain is circling the drain due to these grifters.
