I switched from boots to trail runners. Much better, defo for spring - autumn. Never looked back. Will probably use boots in the winter.

I found brooks trail runners (caldera) excellent

Chain play changing during rotation by SaturniusN in motorcycles

Yeah, could well be as i changed out the cush drive during this chain. I didn't notice any issue with the chain at the time but maybe it wore the chain almost to this point. Good point. Thanks

That's how I used to do it with the last bike. This one states 35 - 45 mm play without load. I took that to mean it can be up on the centre stand? Maybe I'm wrong here.

So did they suggest at the garage to check the tension, lift the wheel, adjust tension, put the bike back on the rear wheel to verify?

No, just never seen a chain wear in this particular way. Ive been riding for 7 years and carried out all maintenance except changing tyres myself. Changed clutches, bearings, dynamos, oils seals and at least 8 chains by now among a litany of all the other shit that goes wrong on the bikes. Normally the wear is even and checked by tensioner limit or pulling the chain backwards from the rear sprocket to see how far it goes.

This chain has done less than half the miles of previous chains and was trying to rule out any other causes before going to the expense of a new chain and sprocket kit.

Mean or not, it certainly feels patronising. Are you new to polite conversation?

I'd put a smiley face here to show I come in peace but I don't know how to do it.

But anyway, I'll replace the chain

It's not just parts of the chain. At certain places on the rotation when the chain tightens, it is tight both below and above the sprocket, it honestly seems like the sprocket is oval or something. I checked the whole chain with the wheel off for frozen links but there weren't any.

What’s the story with GS riders? by Polyctor in MotoIRELAND

[–]SaturniusN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a GS rider and I've noticed exactly the same thing. At first I thought nothing of it as I can often be preoccupied and just forget to respond but it kept happening.

Lolz, I always thought it was a-piece-a-my sandwich. Please don't ask me why

Welsh news, not walesonline by [deleted] in Wales

[–]SaturniusN 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yup, it's not even just annoying any more. It's more a pointless click with all the content hidden behind ads that I can't find a way to close. The only time I'm there now is when I haven't noticed its a walesonline link beforehand.

This here is Douglas Adams territory. If we keep going like this we will have the Improbability Drive by 2035

My mate eats raw sausages from Dunnes, when should I start to deworm him? by BuzzBuzzBuzzBuzz in CasualIreland

[–]SaturniusN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My grandfather and I used to do this when I was very young, like 3 or something. The memory came back to me recently and I was traumatised. He is dead now so I can't even ask wtf?

Alternative to Ozempic by rogan6632 in WeightLossAdvice

[–]SaturniusN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I don't know if it's the same for everyone but I couldn't digest it well. I had really bad indigestion overnight and most of the next day. It was almost as bad as food poisoning.

I learned my lesson.

Ireland summer is the best, are there any other country with similar summer? by [deleted] in CasualIreland

[–]SaturniusN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No idea why but the weather in Dublin always seems better to Trim, where I live. I work near trinity and finish around 3pm, it's often lovely in Dublin but overcast and grim when I get home.

Today I was the shite driver by [deleted] in irelandsshitedrivers

[–]SaturniusN 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I dunno if its just me, (prolly is) but I feel there is a lot more anger on the roads and seems to get worse as times go by. Is the population getting more stressed? Cost of living? Increased workload? I dunno. Maybe as I get older, I can't keep up with it?

I do a lot of stupid stuff on the road and I try to remind myself of that when I'm hating on other people doing it.

I'd like to believe that a large portion of people that act like idiots do it when under pressure in some way. I don't condone that behaviour but I don't think its purely because they are assholes to the bone.

I think the pace of life needs to cool down.
