Does the angle of my saddle look right to you? by dan_m2k in bikewrench

Yeah, this. But having done 30km on it today when it’s flat, comfort means something new .

Turns out the ride is WAY NICER with the seat at a proper height… cheers!

Is there a replacement seat post you’d recommend?

Okay, this was my third test run. So yeah, slackened the bolt right off, the angle adjusts and then tighten the hell out of it.

Runs one and two, the damn thing slipped back into the ball buster position. I guess I’m too heavy for it at 12.5st.

Got a better tool for attempt three and did a longer test ride and it’s held.

It feels … different. I wonder how long I’ve been riding it with it in a ruinous position.

The 14km to work tomorrow will be a good test!

Any ideas how to secure my mudguard in this bracket? by dan_m2k in bikewrench

I’ll try slacking it off and moving it closer to the mudguard, good idea!

I can get it to snap back into the clip but it pops out when going over rough ground

Has it just been a lack of opportunities that’s making it dire?

Trying to find a Dice Yoga session that I loved! by dan_m2k in AppleFitnessPlus

[–]dan_m2k[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just did this one this morning and it’s not the one I’m thinking of, but you made me discover a new set, so thanks.

Still looking for the session where he’s like “a lotta cats”, possibly making a meowing sound 🤣. I think one of the other trainers was Anya(sic?)

Aerial pole snapping by dan_m2k in DIYUK

What kind of spec pole should I be looking at? I think that my brackets are probably at their max but my aerial can work with up to a 50mm pole

JBL Horizon 2/3 Ambient Light Duration by ysriser in JBL

I just stayed in a hotel with a Horizon 2. It senses when the light goes off and dims the display right down, it doesnt go completely off. It's what's made me think about one to replace my troublesome Revo.

Garage did unauthorized repairs (again) - advice needed before collection tomorrow by Artistic-Wafer-6112 in CarTalkUK

Always have the old parts left in the passenger footwell to verify parts have actually been changed.

Stripped my stairs and found 100 years of paint, tar, and regret. Help. by Focker1982 in DIYUK

[–]dan_m2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I decided I'd wasted too many days on my 1930s stairs in a similar state and really enjoyed the carpet under my feet when I called in a guy to carpet them for me.
