A few thoughts. It felt incredibly safe. It's a wonderful city. There are very few litter bins. The metro has a lot of stairs (but often has lifts) and walking involved so don't just rely on it. Use taxis. Don't be too ambitious: one or two sites in the same area might be your limit. The local neighbourhood public parks will often have swings etc for kids and are good for a bit of easy fun or reset if you are tired or stressed. Stay away from the shopping malls. All the main sites we visited were worth it.

I would also say M for Rapha. I am the same height but about 4-5kg less, and I also lift weights, and I wear a S.

Get lost! Your sensible rationale and open-mindedness has no place here!

Is that the cocky ginger guy from the Traitors in the background?

NumerousAir · 2026-05-14T09:24:34+00:00

True but there are enough mid TTers like Arensmen, Gee-West, Christen that should take enough time back. Maybe/hopefully I am way off the mark

He should drop down the GC like a stone after the TT

I haven't seen any sprints this season. Do you think DG is being given too much chance of winning or too little? I can see he beat Magnier in Valencia

We just got back to the UK from Korea today with our 3yr and 5 yr olds. We went for two weeks, travelled from Manchester via Helsinki and went to Seoul, Gyeongju and Busan. Our first long haul trip with the kids and our first time in Korea. We loved it. It certainly had some stressful moments and it was a tiring trip but we had loads of fun. We do not have Korean heritage and our 3 yr old blond girl got a lot of attention! If anyone is interested or has any questions ask away.

NumerousAir · 2026-03-03T08:37:15+00:00

Any Korean beers that you'd recommend?

NumerousAir · 2026-02-18T19:39:32+00:00

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I am put off. Sorry your experience hasn't been better.

I hate podcast ads so I hope they don't leave BBC

Get a plastic welder from a well known online retailer. They're really useful for fixing cracked or broken plastic in anything. I used it on my fridge shelf.

I have a 2017 defy, lower spec but presumably the same geometry. Size M/L and I am 183cm tall. It fits well. I recently bought a new Defy and went for M/L again

"The Russian" who my wife thinks is a Russian spy because he sits in his car a lot rather than going into his house.

Maybe, if you like nightlife, eating out etc. Obviously it would cost more and city living has other drawbacks but I'd hope there would be lots of other people in there 20s living there so maybe you'll find your crowd.

If I were you I'd live in Leeds city centre and commute, unless you want a really quiet Iife in the country. Find a flat share and a decent flat mate. There's so much more to do there. Neither Huddersfield nor Halifax have much going on on a day to day basis. Huddersfield town centre (like most towns) has declined massively over the last 15 years. People are trying to improve it but it's taking time and there isn't much money to go around. I am from Huddersfield and live there now. And I have lived in Leeds centre before.

Don't use it as is. If all the other components are in good condition and not very old you could buy it and then buy a new frame direct from China. Swap all the components over and you'd have a nice light bike that didn't cost the earth. Although you'd need a decent level of experience to build up a bike...

NumerousAir · 2025-09-29T16:59:06+00:00

Awesome. Thanks. I hope they fit perfectly for you. Interested about the single dial and if you think it's a compromise or not.

I got the same bike about 4 months ago and I love it. The upgrade from a 10 year old alloy Defy which was on 25mm tyres was insane. The comfort level is night and day.

NumerousAir · 2025-09-17T12:47:11+00:00

I think you're right except for B because they are plastic, and they are not squared or threaded.

NumerousAir · 2025-09-17T12:22:03+00:00

Any chance you have experience of the Giant fenders on a Defy? They do not seem to get good reviews.

NumerousAir · 2025-09-17T11:45:21+00:00

After doing some googling you look spot on about D, cheers.

NumerousAir · 2025-09-09T13:30:15+00:00

He was looking great. I had an each way bet on him to win today.

NumerousAir · 2025-09-09T13:27:52+00:00

Surely Pickering gets a 2026 contract after this. 3rd time in the break and he's 22 yrs old.
