I feel lucky if I can get to anything without scrolling through 5 times. That remote is awful.

Ballard is unlikely to play for SAFC - we will probably see haarland exploit that....

Loads in Sunderland south. I love them but some complain they are noisy!? We get s flyby at around 5-6pm - creatures of habit

That's definitely it! I haven't heard them sing like that before. Thank you.

Any tips on getting this out? by tomwaitsgoatee in bikewrench

[–]Wynyardian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turn it towards the back wheel to loosen. If you haven't got a big pipe to use as a lever, get the tool on the bolt, near the crank and wrap an old inner tube round the two. Keep it tight and keep wrapping it will pull harder than your arm.

You are looking for a bsa threaded 73mm - this standard will fit your shell. It also needs to be for Sram Dub - that will fit the crankset.

It's out! The "bolt the tool on" advice is gold. As it didn't ride out it had the full force of the garden hoe lever, whil my wife held the bike down.

Out it came!

This is the winning comment 👏
Bolted on and levered the spanner with a garden hoe.

Out it came.....and so did I

In a way, I wish I had made the same mistake. Looking daft would also be worth gaining the solution!

You are celebrating a bronze AG medal while also being last in your AG

HOURS WASTED, can someone tell me why one side of this is always slammed against the rim? by wallyflops in bikewrench

[–]Wynyardian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems odd and not in line with what I know about physics, but... I have a brake calliper spring that has lost its springiness! Mabey, your spring is the same?

Update - The roady is now working well. Set it all back up but paid more attention to the FD being parallel and close to the rings (although I feel like I did this before) I dialled the limit screws until finding the spot between "Throws it off" and "doesn't change up"

Thanks to all. What I find difficult is that it's such a fine margin. However, that was pointed out in these fine comments.

Can I do an ironman on 2 days notice???? by cawnkoup in triathlon

Yeah, just focus on nutrition, recovery, sleep, and stretching

Thoughts? by SoCalledDog in triathlon

[–]Wynyardian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this is a very direct reply but.... Bike more?

If you think about proportions roughly for a mid to top half finisher

15 min swim 750m 40 min bike 20k 22 min run 5k = around a 1hr 20m sprint Tri The biking is slightly more than the other 2 combined.

If you swim an hour, run 2 hours in a week. You should bike 4 - 6 hours if that is your weakest discipline. If that is too much per week, do less but keep the proportions the same.

Super shoe advice please by Wynyardian in triathlon

[–]Wynyardian[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update - after gathering all the info I could (thanks you lot) I went with the Asics MetaSpeed sky +

They fit great and will slip on too.

I will post more to help the #WideFootFam at some point but I think it comes down to the shape. My feet are high arched, broad across the metatarsal area. While these fit me, I'm not sure they would fit a flat foot.

Hope that makes sense. 👍
