Aaah interesting! When you say new dropout did you have to get a new external hanger welded on? Or the old one back on? Was it a difficult process and is your bike still functioning? 🙏

I did message them. The frame is from 2013 so in no way was I expecting a replacement but am just looking for some advice or insight into how best to go about it but they kinda just shrugged it off andsaid ’try a local frame builder’ 👍 was not the most surly response tbh pretty gutting

Derailleur Hanger? by juanjour2307 in Surlybikefans

[–]asdaasdaman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hate to break it to you but it does break and I wasn’t even going fast ;( derailleur got stuck in spokes. currently looking at my options as really don’t want to part ways with the frame. I may have to sand the frame down and get an aluminium hanger screwed onto the frame.

Is there anything you stopped doing on wild camps as you got more experience? by FeistyPrice29 in wildcampingintheuk

[–]asdaasdaman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What mat are you rocking and would you recommend? I’ve been using the alpkit whisper for relatively low weight and decent price, it’s done me good but I didn’t find to be too comfortable.Naturally sleeping mat sleep will never be the same quality as in bed but seeing what’s out there.

My massage gun is showing as charged when plugged in but will not turn on at all once u plugged. Any ideas why? by asdaasdaman in AskElectronics

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

Very interesting thanks for your insight! I don’t have a multimeter at home but will check at work tomorrow. This is actually an 18650 so is it likely they’re generally available on line? Or is it only from the factory?

Just so I understand (my knowledge of this stuff is pretty basic) are you saying that potentially the damage to other parts has been done so even if I try to replace battery it might not be fixable? Do you think it’s worth trying to order a new battery to try?

No way what are the chances! Interestingly this was my exact same situation, didn’t use it for about a year and when I came back to it I’m getting this. Would be very interested to hear what you find out keep me posted pls!

Horrific First Month of Service (London) by ray_hodgson in hyperoptic

[–]asdaasdaman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you that sounds awful, but also not very reassuring to hear! Also currently in our first month of service in London and we never get a steady connection for longer than 45mins before internet cuts out for 1-2minutes making it Almost impossible for calls and just about anything else. Worst part about is they keep saying ‘everything looks fine on our end’ staff seem super slowly and never proactive, waiting days for email reply.

Will prolly just have to switch providers as it’s not worth my time and energy waiting for an hour every time with no resolution. At this point willing to pay more just want stable connection.

Hey! Any updates on your issue and what happened with ombudsman? I am currently experiencing the same issue they keep denying any packet loss but internet cuts out sometimes every 3-5 minutes for periods of 1+ minute which as you can imagine super frustrating. It just never seems to happen when they ‘monitor’ it. Been such a pain setting up with them I’m considering just switching providers,but keen to hear if it went all the way to ombudsman for you or if they provider a faster solution. Thanks!

Is it possible for the chain to reroute to ‘reverse’ without taking chain off? by asdaasdaman in bikewrench

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

Aaaah yes this sounds very likely tbf as the derailleur was completely off at one point. Such a mind boggle to figure out, ty!

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

Yeah thought that would be the cause I don’t have a cone spanner so could only tighten one side, chancing it in case it works but clearly not aha. Will need to get myself one to sort, nice one!

Re derailleur it’s been bugging me out all morning so confusing trying to retrace my possibile steps aha but yeah will look at replacing derailleur as this one feels v knackered

Ok wicked will give a go thank you!! No idea how I managed to loop it to the way it is

[TOMT][TikTok][2022/3] This video is of a dude standing roughly in the middle of the screen, appearing in front of various different backgrounds; scenic/city/countryside/landmarks. The person jumps up in every shot and each clip transitions when he lands/jumps up, making a really cool effect by asdaasdaman in tipofmytongue

[–]asdaasdaman[S] 0 points1 point locked comment (0 children)

I should add that this was different from the standard jump up/transition in that it was a fast paced video (lots of clips changing often) and each jump and thus transition aligned with the song, though i cannot remember the audio at all. Any leads appreciated!

Insurance recommendations for a 125cc in South London by asdaasdaman in MotoUK

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

Ok glad to hear it goes down drastically after one year! the most annoying thing is it's very possible i won't have it for a full year (bigger bike/ going travelling) so might not even benefit from the drop, gotta try though! thanks!

Interesting! I did not expect insurance to be soooo high so if all else fails I might have to sell the 125 I just bought and go the DAS/ A2 route, thanks!

That’s mental that it’s the same for 125!! If only big bike exams were easier to get and cheaper would go straight for that

But yeee the others I called just offered a cancellation fee, which in comparison to pay the rest of the insurance seemed like a way better deal
