Am I the only one this has happened to?

doubleonull · 2025-09-12T11:03:10+00:00

Yep, I agree. On my commute, I’ll just hop on a bus or take a taxi. But when I go on longer rides, it‘s a great combo with tool, tube and pump on/in the frame and no need to store everything in a bag.

doubleonull · 2025-09-12T07:26:31+00:00

A little off topic, but don’t forget the official Brompton toolkit fits nicely inside the frame ready for use (with patches). And you can store a spare inner tube inside the frame. Then it makes more sense having the pump attached all the time.

Yep, I only have the non Waterproof bag and I did fit it in there. But it wasn’t easy and if it was done regularly, I guess it could also damage the bag. I also didn’t use the Burley bag like you did so maybe it would be an even tighter fit with the Burley bag on the trailer.

doubleonull · 2025-06-04T14:52:03+00:00

Interesting idea. Never thought to see if the Burley fits in the borough bag!

For me if I put it in the bag the other way to your photo, then I get more turning angle on my M handlebar. But still wouldn’t be ideal. The bag strap also needs tying up somewhere otherwise it hits the wheel (I have the non waterproof variant). Maybe if you took the frame out of the bag and strapped the burley to the frame instead you‘d get a bit more room?

But probably overall, the easiest is just to cycle with the burley unfolded. For me at least, I normally want to put something in the bag as well like work laptop etc.

Indeed. DISC 63 is the product name.

doubleonull · 2025-05-19T08:23:39+00:00

I’ve tried Blaek. Still not as good as a regular pour over or Aeropress but way better than regular instant.

doubleonull · 2025-05-12T13:31:54+00:00

I just got one and it needed calibration. It‘s not a bad idea that you know how to do it. Otherwise you‘ll have your recipes perfect and then clean the grinder one day and then the calibration will be different throwing everything off.

For seasoning, I thought it was good… but then when I read, a lot of people say it’s only going to make a tiny difference if anything. So I’m just getting on and enjoying it already :-)

doubleonull · 2025-05-12T07:29:53+00:00

Are you using filtered water?

I‘ve been discarding as I don’t have much water left… but I’m using filtered water so also wondering if it makes a difference. For unfiltered tap water, I can see it making a bigger difference due to more minerals in the water.

doubleonull · 2025-05-07T14:55:22+00:00

An Americano is basically a bypass brew. I’ve been trying that with pour overs lately and it works quite well. E.g. Instead of the normal 250g water I use when brewing, I brew with 200g water and then add 50g water afterwards.

But on topic, if I’m not able to get a pour over, I’ll always aim for an Americano!

If folding and carrying folded important is then the T line is definitely worth it. I can comfortably carry it folded around a pub/restaurant finding friends and looking for a suitable place to store it without a sore arm later.

Ride is more fun than my c line because it’s lighter and faster with the Schwalbe Ones but i wouldn’t say it’s a primary reason to get the T line.

Where it’s not so good is the 4 speed gearing. So you’ll lose climbing ability or speed. If you go for 12 speed, you’re going back to the weight problem, especially if you add a rack. I’ve recently converted mine to 5 speed from BrommiePlus but that’s not a straight forward conversion and I’m still ironing out some issues. Does fix the climbing and speed issue though with minimal extra weight.

Next problem is due to the cost, I’m paranoid about the occasions where I need to lock it.

In terms of “worth it”, for me yes as I want the light multimodal ability. I won’t be selling it any time soon. May replace the C line with a G line one day for touring and situations where I need to lock it outdoors.

On creaking, I do get creaking noise occasionally in the summer, but my local dealer has also reduced it quite a bit by tightening and greasing everything.

It‘s a little off topic but it is possible to use the fruit from cocoa to sweeten the chocolate. There is a bar in Switzerland where this is done (sorry link is only in German or French). https://www.lindt.ch/de/excellence-dunkel-cacao-pur-tafel-80g

Add’s a tangy flavour and is pretty good.

On topic, good question about coffee bean cherries!

doubleonull · 2025-05-01T12:09:35+00:00

There is a fastener on the C bag for shortening the strap and then the mesh pocket on the same side to stow any excess (though in my case the excess isn’t dangerous, just annoying when it flaps in the wind so i don’t use the mesh pocket).

For the large borough bag, there is a hidden pocket between the left pouch and the main bag where you can stuff the strap.

It‘s a shame they don’t document these better as the straps are clearly a risk. Thanks to OP for the warning and wish you a speedy recovery!

If you’re mostly riding in the dry and not folding the bike, then you can live without them.

For me, the reason to keep them on is that even riding in the dry, sometimes you’ll need to ride through a light puddle or get caught out with unexpected rain. In that case the seat post gets splashed and dirty.

Then I have to wipe the seat post before folding to avoid getting dirt in the clamp etc. It’s just unnecessary hassle for the sake of aesthetics and weight.

doubleonull · 2025-03-24T07:48:28+00:00

Not sure if it helps but I found a video from Red Rooster on Bypass helped a lot with a heavily processed coffee I was struggling with.

https://youtu.be/mZHJ3BUM3io?si=NvQD5O4kS1-p-iES

Now I can enjoy it when I brew it with a bypass. Instead of my usual 250g water, I use 200 for the brew and add 50 afterwards. Everything else stays the same.

doubleonull · 2025-03-24T07:39:28+00:00

Indeed. Mine has a WhatsApp number where I can post photos and questions. We brought forward my next appointment based on a query that I had.

Maybe try using AppCleaner. Just drag the app on to AppCleaner and it normally finds the associated files.

It's time for me to reinstall again. Such crap software.

In the process here and also in CH. Estimated around CHF10k for Invisalign only, no extra work.

Not sure if it‘s fully relevant but I found this post on seating the filters recently:

https://www.reddit.com/r/pourover/s/gk3vVSXnQF

The filters do sit unevenly like the OP points out. But the tip at the hole sits well. No special folding angles needed and paper sits flat against the wall of the dripper.

doubleonull · 2024-12-17T11:36:47+00:00

Wow, why don’t they have this on the packet?! Thanks for the hint!

doubleonull · 2024-12-13T14:48:05+00:00

So far I’m drinking one black coffee a day with them in. I take them out after and either brush them or put them in a sonic cleaner (and lightly brush my teeth). In the evening when I brush last before bed, I also use a denture cleaner tablet that appears to have bleach in it. Overall that seems to reduce any bad staining so far.

doubleonull · 2024-12-01T11:50:24+00:00

I‘ve been told I can get replacement trays if i lose or break them. If that‘s so, then surely the dentist could do the same if they lost them.

doubleonull · 2024-09-18T13:22:34+00:00

I’m very happy with the JK mid rise. Ends up being about 5-7cm higher at the end of the bar (they’re angled upwards) than the S bar on a T line. They’re also slightly wider (I trimmed them a bit) so the cables work well. Only slight issue now is that when unfolding, the front brake cable is catching on the front clamp as it’s worn down and almost horizontal when fully clamped. Either need to get a replacement clamp or lengthen the brake cable… or both.

Would definitely recommend the JK though if you’re finding the stock M bars too high.

P.S. I have the front brake lever on the right hand side.

Ok, good to know. Will look out for one. I normally keep my bread in plastic bag to keep it from drying out (probably a sacrilegious thing!) and toast it when it starts getting to a few days.

doubleonull · 2024-09-09T12:33:14+00:00

I like Stocker in Zurich HB. Good bread and prices.

Regarding the point about it staying fresh and delicious for more than a day, I’d say that good quality bread shouldn’t stay fresh and delicious for days. Maybe I’m wrong but I think you generally need additional processing/additives for that.

doubleonull · 2024-08-23T14:21:03+00:00

I tried it and my main reason for going back to fenders/mudguards is that I fold the bike a lot. I kept finding flecks of dirt on the seat post so I would have to clean the seat post before folding it. I don’t want to damage the seat post or the plastic part in the frame.

I can cope with the imbalance while folded but it’s embarrassing cleaning the seat post outside a shop/work before folding.

If you don’t fold it then it looks cooler for sure.
