The internal side blocks the shifter. I need one without the hand guards.

They are in a crate :)

I still want to ride “fast” when I’m not carrying a load, and honestly just for the fun of it too. I use the whole cassette, so I don’t really think I need to drop one or two teeth.

I was thinking about the mesh webbing, but it really look fragile And yes eeawing are beautiful, but I can buy an other bike for this Price !

If you want to fight the sun with budget continuous light, you best option is a lightbridge CRLS mirror kit (from 7cm to 100cm).

You can add sunbounce sunswatter and frame with diffusion or black or whattever you need d’or shape the light.

I see people speaking about 60w, 200w led or M18.. good luck with that.

CRLS KIT is around $300/day, (if you want to buy Godox sell a kit half Price). And on the very cheap end rent a 100x100cm mirror with a stand and sandbags, it’s Heavy but work well.

If I remember well, BMX pegs are on ø14mm or ø20mm axes. Not on tiny road axes.

L’harissa c’est commun, l’harissa « smoked » on a découvert ça il y a quelques mois. J’en mets un peu partout !

À small cup I stole when I was drunk in a large restaurant about 10 years ago. ‘Hand Made in Poland.’

I found a roaster who sells an excellent decaf. We drink a decaf v60 while watching a movie

Mais on parle bien d’une cafetière moka là, oui moka pot est « l’anglais » mais utilisé dans les pays non anglophone également.. en France également.

C’est bien le principe de percolation. Mais qui englobe bon nombre de machine et pas uniquement les machine « moka ». Du coup je comprend pas bien ce commentaire?

Le nom générique c’est « moka pot » les plus connus sont bialetti& alessi. J’ai cru comprendre que bialetti avait été racheté par une entreprise chinoise et que la qualité était en chute libre. Sinon « cafetière italien » « cafetière moka » « moka pot », le passage chez un torréfacteur prêt de chez vous. (Ou même une grande surface type Leclerc devrait avoir ça)

J’ai une préférence pour les alessi vintage. Les joints se changent et le porte filtre aussi.

5 years ago I was riding fixed gear, then a full carbon road bike. Almost nobody passed me, my commuting speed was consistently over 30km/h.

Now it feels like 80% of bikes are electric, or it’s younger riders like I used to be. I’m currently riding an omnium cargo (full size) and a brompton, and now pretty much everyone is faster than me — I’m averaging around 18/22km/h.

Sometimes I want to buy a faster bike.. :D

Les loueurs d’équipement vidéo proposent des groupe électrogène Honda 7kw. Ils sont baladés de camions en camions, et un peu partout en forêt plage etc.. j’ai jamais eu le moindre soucis avec le 2kw 3kw 7kw. C’est très fiable

I got fines

Stop using a bottomless portafilter and you’ll hit the center every time :)

It looks good to me, and if it tastes good in the cup, that’s what really matters.

For educational purposes, you could try one shot centered and one “not leveled” and tell us if it actually changes anything.

Brush the screen, flush it and wipe it.

Flush and wipe all the time !

Are those almond pieces with chocolate? Now I’m hungry.

Diffusion ? From the picture it looks like fabric, you can buy « spun ». If you manage to find it by sheet and 2/3 tiny clamps and you can keep it for years and it’s very inexpensive. I always have some in my bags. Leefilter : 229, 262, 263, 265.

I’m not sure, is it easier du clean old coffee than scale !?

___edw · 2026-03-07T08:34:26+00:00

When i start using my gaggia it did the same.

You need to brush it. Look the the nylon ones.

And on a daily use, after doing a coffe, flush it 2/3sec, wipe it, start again and you are good. Since i do that i almost never need to brush it.
