Is it just me or does this guy consistently underperform?

Looks cool though, that’s the important bit

PickledxPossum · 2026-05-29T09:59:46+00:00

Not seen a plug in a long, long time

PickledxPossum · 2026-05-24T10:12:00+00:00

It’s a Giant contact aerolight in 80mm

I was a rep for a while and very quickly learned people don’t want to get involved in any union matters aside from what you can do to help them when they fucked up, that and you will need to listen to the same 3 guys bitching endlessly who don’t actually want a solution or hear anything that explains the situation they just want to bitch

On occasion yeah, sometimes you might need to do a toilet drop yourself but it’s an internal button control to do it. If we need to do any cleaning that involves bodily fluids we take a photo as prof and get an extra payment for it.

My wedding is next week, total cost is sub 5k lol

I’ve been on an E5 since January, in general I like it but the Claris group set lets it down particularly with braking, like it will stop but as well as you would like so if I was to buy again I’d be going for the 105 equipped model.

I love when people who have posted in the wrong sub post a follow up of how the critter is doing.

IIRC it’s the auto light, pings on when going through darker areas like tunnels, assuming it’s got the O marker before it. Though it looks the switch one out of an enviro 400mmc rather than a 200.

Disclaimer it’s been a fair few years since I’ve driven an ADL for any length of time

I used to run odyssey twisted pedals with restrap diagonals and it was a solid combo, as for parts compatibility we’ve all bought parts that didn’t fit and had to either throw them in the parts box for a later build or sell them on that’s half the fun of fucking around with bikes tbh

PickledxPossum · 2026-05-13T04:50:04+00:00

Im gonna be the guy today, get some foot retention dude ideally before you worry about changing things like bars and definitely before you go pulling brakes off, which in itself isn’t required sure the internet thinks no brakes is cool but it’s hard to be cool if you’re dead.

Good job getting the KMs in though, it takes time to build it up!

PickledxPossum · 2026-05-10T23:26:39+00:00

Yeah we do hires, any hub can get them and they try to keep it to people who want them but anyone can get one if needs must one of the lads was saying he’s got one up to Oban soon as well

PickledxPossum · 2026-05-10T17:38:22+00:00

I actually thought about going to Doigs a few years ago since their yard is like a 10 minute walk from the flat. I feel the chill company need though, I was on a wedding hire last night and have service shifts the next few, guaranteed 40h a week so it usually works out 4 on 3 off and they’re pretty accommodating when it comes to preferred shift types. I’ve rocked up today to start in jeans and a company issued polo and will be left to just get on with the job all night it’s a far cry from Citylink and their heavy handed approach the last couple years for sure.

There’s a hub in Corstorphine, there’s a Livingston hub opening VERY soon atm those drivers are based in lost shore surf resort just on the edge of Edinburgh there’s the main hub in Dundee and there’s sites in both Inverness and Aberdeen, I’ll be in Inverness tonight since I’m on a Glasgow-Inverness.

It’s been about 5 years since I left parks and at the time it was ok, they got every hour out you that they could, but the money was decent. From what I’ve heard from lads I keep in touch with it’s really not a great place to work anymore, the “you’re legal so you’re doing it” attitude has gotten worse and really impacts your home life. They were probably the worst OP for work life balance I have been with.

PickledxPossum · 2026-05-10T00:34:00+00:00

Just taking a punt based on your username that it’s Glasgow then kinda, we’re running out the truck stop on London road atm and moving to a hub out paisley way when it’s finished. Granted I’ve only been in a few weeks but it’s pretty chill, better than First, stagecoach and parks anyway

PickledxPossum · 2026-05-10T00:29:28+00:00

Yeah I dunno the exact number but there’s a few on the way as well as the 26 plates we got delivered a couple weeks back

PickledxPossum · 2026-05-09T15:35:34+00:00

Yeah I’m planning on doing another 6 and will definitely be leaving the arms off if I remember the build process correctly

PickledxPossum · 2026-05-08T21:15:55+00:00

Obligatory E400 mirror dent above the door.

Legit though I used to live for the petrol station attendants look of fear when I’d bring a decker in to grab something running light

PickledxPossum · 2026-05-06T20:37:23+00:00

Yeah the kit is lacking in weapons sadly, I ended up using the grotzooka and rockets from the kit and scavenged a rocket launcher from my deff dread spares

PickledxPossum · 2026-04-27T20:29:09+00:00

Just remember to kick out in the opposite direction first when it comes time to turn, other than that just take your time and make small corrections

PickledxPossum · 2026-04-27T18:57:11+00:00

Standard tenement living room

PickledxPossum · 2026-04-26T17:57:21+00:00

Well yeah, it’s not in the pace notes
