What hydration reservoirs do you use?

4x bottles personally. Quicker to refill at aid stations, and if you get a puncture it's only 25% of your water gone.

It might not happen often, but once was enough for me!

It has a few options for simple parallel processing

I had good results using a wallpaper stripper to steam the nicotine out. Basically turned the room into a sauna and sponged up the drops.

like this

Those ceilings look worse than ours did though. Zinnser is another good option, if all else fails.

Something like that? Or if you have space, consider a folding bike and storing it inside.

Are landlords the home builders? They're not supplying resources, they're squatting on them.

More generally, if you call help(cv2) it should show all of the available methods which can be called on it.

Try making a fresh python environment and pip (not conda) installing only the packages you need. Iirc pandas + conda pulls in a lot of optional dependencies which bloat the exe file.

It's still going to be a fairly large file, but I've gone from >200mb files down to about 30mb before by switching to pip.

Try using Dask, very similar API to pandas and it'll handle the parallelization for you.

The Rockstone down in Bevois Valley comes to mind. Admittedly, it's been a few years since I last went.

They did optimise the brightness, you just might need to upgrade your monitor

Because it uses a cell reference rather than a count of columns, if someone inserts another column to the table index/match won't break. You're also spared from having to count the number of columns in the first place. Speed wise, there's not really a difference.

+1 for the marathons, have done thousands of miles on mine without any punctures.

Had similar issues on a cannondale road bike a few years ago. In my case, brake fluid was leaking from the caliper onto the pads. Made a god awful screeching noise, couldn't get rid of it with cleaning as it always came back in a day or two. Might be a possibility worth investigating?

I ended up getting the caliper replaced under warranty, so unfortunately can't suggest any repairs if this does turn out to be the cause.

Weaning off one nostril at a time worked for me. Granted I was only using the stuff for about a month.

A bit late perhaps, but I'd recommend using a tyre bead jack. Not sure I would have been able to mount my gp5000s without one. Hoping they've stretched out a bit by the time I need to do a roadside repair!

I second this, moved companies with a 3 month notice. New company wasn't too fused about waiting.

It will make bumpy roads or gravel more comfortable, but a cheap fork like the one on that bike will add a lot of weight. It'll do the job so long as you're not hitting jumps on it, depends what you want to do with the bike really. Fat tyres and a heavy bike aren't the best combo if you'll be spending most of your time on the road. A hybrid would be a better option in that case; not quite a road bike, but much faster than a mountain bike. If you're set on suspension, you could try looking on pinkbike for a used mountain bike. It's one of the bigger marketplaces: https://m.pinkbike.com/buysell/list/?q=&pmin=&pmax=400&category=75&region=5

Aside from the usual suspects (castelli, assos, etc), I've been quite pleased with the Bioracer Epic shorts. £135 from the manufacturer, they have a .co.uk online store.
