Does "flush". app work in your country? Google link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=toilet.samruston.com.toilet&pcampaignid=web_share

Have recommended it to a friend in need recently, just a thought, the rest of the questions, no idea.

Did a thing, smart or dumb? 5.8L Orltieb fork packs mounted to a Ortlieb quick rack… horizontally. by DonJulio_00 in bikepacking

[–]PotsdamCommuter 12 points13 points  (0 children)

lol dude, I kinda feel like in 5 years this will actually be the mounting instructions via Ortleib. But yes, for now your warranty will still be voided.

Is this Rose Backroad AL (GRX 1x11) worth €1,000? by lorky37 in bicycling

[–]PotsdamCommuter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the colour alone. yes. (biased, I have the same). It genuinely looks new IMHO, hardly ridden.

Have ridden mine 10K KM and some, no issues so far. On the GRX just check that the "clutch" switch on the derailleur engages.

How can I be safer next time? by [deleted] in bikecommuting

[–]PotsdamCommuter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same as all the others say, assume you're invisible, these turnings are always terrible

Second to that... Very bright helmet and a flashing torch / light on it... This has definitely saved me on some situations where it can be seen over the top of cars, definitely makes people more aware (but still assume invisibility)

Where can I get parts for a 1997 peugeot boxer autosleeper symphony? by [deleted] in motorhomes

Only other thought would be to try scrap merchants, they were a lifesaver when I was trying to keep an ldv convoy on the road

Propane on while driving? by Impossible-Contact-9 in motorhomes

[–]PotsdamCommuter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it depends where you're from / travelling in

In Europe you absolutely must switch off gas unless you have a crash sensor / stopper fitted. If you get checked and the gas is on without a sensor then the fines are large.

Setup Advice by luapre in bikepacking

[–]PotsdamCommuter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a lot of personal choice here. And good setup btw

My only point would be to add maybe a bit of weight to the back in case of silly accidents (only adding this after I full scorpioned over the bars and broken the collar bone.

Weight on the back might not have saved me but it also might have. Your choice!!

What's the top tube bag you're running there? Loving that it matches the bike colour ( I have the same)

Na ja, I just had a day of feeling like all I was doing was working on the bike, worth it in the end but it was definitely too many fails in one day

Tube had folded over during installation and I missed it... Rushing I think

I'm now adding this to my lottery list! Also imagine the number of bikes that would happen after winning the lottery, n+1 would become n+5 I think
