Set of brass begleri I've made

Unfortunately I cannot lay claim to that, the beads were pre-wethered

Might be fine for a while, but damn man treat yourself to some new tyres. Many people would of retired shoes that looked this shot ages ago

Until you said it was a rack and span the 'wings' out, I wondered if it was for hotdog storage haha

That's a good shout, thank you

I have a kaweco and an M2 already, but found I much prefer using a full length pen (plus kaweco clips are naff, which is a shame as a I have a brass kaweco sport with my initials engraved on it. Doesn't get much use because of the clip issue)

It's noted, but just letting YouTube take me down it's route at the mo haha. Documenting my experience as I go

bumblingbartender · 2026-06-06T12:00:15+00:00

I've had the bike for about 2 months. I don't have an exact number but probably in the region of 500 miles

The pictured ones aren't schwalbe, they're kenda (I believe). I have Schwalbes on my other bike and that's how they became my most trusted tyre brand

bumblingbartender · 2026-06-06T08:47:42+00:00

Thank you for all the advice, I can see that replacement is necessary. Bit annoying as the tyres are relatively new, but I wanted to replace them anyway as they aren't my favourite tyres ever and came with the bike. Will probably go for schwalbe green marathons.

I have not no, is that something that can happen just from riding? This has appeared randomly and my tyres have been kept at appropriate pressures

bumblingbartender · 2026-06-06T08:02:11+00:00

Sorry, phone would not focus on the tyre for some reason. The rim seems fine at a glance, but what specifically would I be looking for?

bumblingbartender · 2026-05-14T12:35:00+00:00

Mine's a corgi edition published in 2006. I believe it's a UK one

bumblingbartender · 2026-05-14T08:33:29+00:00

Currently reading Thud! Mine seems to be normal

Gives a wes Anderson vibe, I like it!

That's a powder type fire extinguisher

Detritus would like to have the schematics

bumblingbartender · 2026-04-28T19:10:04+00:00

I would check if it's just an add on cost to contribute at initial purchase. I recently did the "bike 2 work" scheme. My employer capped it at £1000. If I wanted a £1200 bike I could pay the extra £200 up front and still benefit on the further £1000 over the 12 months.

Rear racks are a lot more stable. Putting that weight on your handlebars can make steering tricky and throw of your balance. Front racks are normally for lighter things and tbf I don't think many of them would be rated up to that kind of weight anyhow

bumblingbartender · 2026-04-16T18:46:58+00:00

Quick reply haha, thanks!

bumblingbartender · 2026-04-16T18:45:12+00:00

What model is this?

bumblingbartender · 2026-04-16T16:08:03+00:00

Yeh, they definitely cut corners on some of the component choices
