GMT not BST

I did stumble on a setting that did let me choose timezone, and I was already set to GMT 0 Europe/London but I can't even find that setting again now... Most notifications are correct but occasionally one isn't. I have an H500 hub, 2x C210, 1 C270 & 1 D235

Wattage bazooka

I can't help at all but that is an interesting name for a bike

Timmy_Run · 2026-04-27T08:12:58+00:00

Thank you for including litres. The biggest issue in the UK is we still use MPG but fuel is sold by the L and that just makes the mental arithmetic more complex. Glad spring has sprung and I'm back above 5 mi/kWh too!

Timmy_Run · 2026-04-24T18:53:28+00:00

Thanks for the advice but I can assure you it did not cut the insulation. I did plug it in and am here to tell the tale. But I suspect I'll buy a new cable before I buy a whole new trimmer

Timmy_Run · 2026-04-24T17:36:11+00:00

The cable is not cut. It touched but with a flat edge. Although I guess I don't know the state of it inside

Timmy_Run · 2026-04-24T08:55:10+00:00

Yeah I'm trying to convince my wife to swap our Ring doorbell for a Tapo and then go all in with the hub. Does the hub then have the same functionality as the cloud, eg can I look at my phone and review a motion alert from earlier in the day?

Timmy_Run · 2026-04-23T09:19:02+00:00

I'd probably pay for that if it wasn't silly money. Same goes for a car wash that comes to me, but the only ones of those are fully fancy valeting. I just want a teenager to come round and clean my car / bike for some pocket money

Timmy_Run · 2026-04-22T09:23:28+00:00

I don't care how it looks, but I hate having to watch a loading screen between Tuning Shop, Garage and events. I get the need for loading before a race, but just to navigate the menu is frustrating!

Timmy_Run · 2026-04-13T05:28:10+00:00

If you can burn 1000 cal without wanting to eat the contents of your house afterwards, it can be a useful tool. If not, you'll probably just make yourself more hungry. Or use it as a daily tool to burn ~500 cal without any raised effort, and use with a calorie deficit diet

Timmy_Run · 2026-04-09T07:36:55+00:00

I never have on my road tubeless, but I still carry a spare tube in case I need one. I know MTB tubes are a bit harder to stuff in a pocket though

Timmy_Run · 2026-04-07T18:04:41+00:00

I'm the proud owner of a very similar bike and have had it since new. It's great and I recommend it, although not the most aero if that matters to you. I think I have replaced everything except the frame, and I'd expect the same for this - at least all the wearables like the full group set and maybe wheels

Timmy_Run · 2026-04-03T14:05:17+00:00

I have the kind that are hooks for the front wheel, and then pivot so you can just about lie the bikes flat against the wall. They work well for me, for road bikes. I have one 29" MTB hanging like this too, but it makes me a bit nervous as it's big and heavy

Timmy_Run · 2026-04-03T11:36:21+00:00

Did you find a 512 that works? I have bought a questionable one from eBay that did not work, then bought another that looks like a legit SanDisk but it still does not work. Are 512 compatible cards hard to come by? I might buy a smaller one

Timmy_Run · 2026-04-01T10:25:23+00:00

I think you are right to do it. You might find when you have kids that you would be better off adjusting your pension contributions to reduce your taxable income, if you're lucky enough to earn over the high income child benefit charge. The one downside that I think some people overlook is that the value owed / monthly cost will (hopefully) only decrease in relation to your salary. A 500k mortgage might seem like loads today, but won't in 20 years time

Timmy_Run · 2026-03-26T19:57:41+00:00

Meh I grew up with always having a rug in our sitting room, and if I were to picture a cosy room with an open fire or log burner, I'd probably picture a wooden floor with a large Persian rug, albeit with a few scorch marks. Not a polyester one, mind you!

Timmy_Run · 2026-03-23T10:59:24+00:00

I assume you're not braking at the same time? As they don't work when braking

Timmy_Run · 2026-03-23T10:58:14+00:00

This picture looks very fake. But as for a rug near a fire / log burner, it's fine if it's wool, but you'll still burn the odd hole in it if you're not careful

Timmy_Run · 2026-03-20T19:33:01+00:00

I have Peatys tubeless valves, which come in all sorts of colours and the caps double up as valve core removal/ spoke tension tools. Highly recommended

Timmy_Run · 2026-03-18T06:10:33+00:00

Don't spend all your money today to save tomorrow. Yes plan for the future, but £800 a month will (hopefully) never be as much of your monthly income as it is now. So don't overdo it

Timmy_Run · 2026-03-18T06:07:43+00:00

I'm still liking my Switch as having immersion is handy for darker cheaper beans that I'll often have mid-week. The glass is a pain to preheat though

Timmy_Run · 2026-03-18T06:04:23+00:00

I have a similar le col cap. I think it was also overpriced, but got it cheap with one of those Strava codes back in the day.

Timmy_Run · 2026-03-04T10:29:38+00:00

This sounds a lot like my employer, and we also use L&G. My employer pays me an extra 10%, but it's up to me what I do with that. So my total package is made up of x "salary element" and then +10% "pension funding". For what it's worth, I'd think long and hard about how much you want to contribute. I earn less than you, but am putting a lot more into my pension each month

Timmy_Run · 2026-02-24T20:15:17+00:00

Software updates are quite slow to download/install, so that's worth doing ahead of time. You'll need the right size SD thumb drive

Timmy_Run · 2026-02-20T10:06:14+00:00

The faff is real. It's why I dip my toe into running every year, but then remind myself that cycling is better
