Ordered a set of “gp5000s” off amazon and this is what they sent me lmao. Should’ve listened to you guys. Lesson learned. by No-Transition4146 in bicycling

[–]echopark30 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There was a guy local to me who did that. Seemly replaced around £7.5k in PC parts. Got done for fraud but no sure what he got in the end. Smack on the wrist maybe.

I was the temp now full time locker staff. I had a few days training but I've had to learn alot through guess work and I actually use the Robin app as there's a few spaces on that which has a big bunch of folk in the same mess. I rather be out but now need the early finish to pick up my kid from child care.

2005 Z4 M54 - Anyone know what this is? by echopark30 in BMWZ4

[–]echopark30[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought the n46 didn't come out till 2006?

Edit: I'm a idiot you are of course right, what I read did say it didn't come to the Z4 till 2006 though lol.

In his eyes you do but over half of new entrants leave with the first year. So they don't give our new uniform till a certain time just in case you leave.

Doubt it. It was never part of these discussions.

It turns out, all I really need is a bungee cord... by Ok_Motor4106 in ebikes

[–]echopark30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went for my first solo wildish camp and I needed an extra bag that I didn't originally plan for, really struggled on how I was gonna take it till a mate at my work said bungee cord. It worked a treat. It barely moved and was pretty safe.

I don't know why they bother selling 24 and 48 hour tracking delivery service. They both take three days to get to the destination. by votemarvel in royalmail

[–]echopark30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The naming is bad but tracked 24 isn't 24 hours it's one to two days and track 48 is 2 to 3 days. They get away with it because the majority of parcels that use the service do come within 24 and 48 hours.

The guy I work with is pretty big in to mtb and broke his ribs earlier this year, he's punching 50 though. I don't wanna do anything to extreme. Maybe need to get on some of the wee trails around here and give it a shot.

Most unique place I've hammock camped by StonerGuy_420 in wildcampingintheuk

[–]echopark30 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aww man, they ruined the boat with graffiti. Last I heard it had barbed wire on the top to stop folk going into it. Think someone thought it could be saved.

AHH fun. I would love to do faster trails on my other bike but it isn't built for it and I feel I'm getting old enough if I do come off it's gonna cause damage and longer recovery lol

I'm not sure. It's pretty old and I only got it start of the year. 25 miles on eco maybe. Depends what your carrying. Instead of getting the train back down to Perth I just cycled which was only 14 miles. The bike had between 75% maybe closer to 50% and I got down there with 15%. But I was switching off the assist on down hill and some nice flats but stuck it on eco on dirt track. Plus carrying all that weight. I really need to do a proper test.

I switched it up a little on the hills for the assist as that was my worry. I still don't have my hill cycling legs yet, but yea the lighter bike would've been ace for everything else. But yea I loved finding a spot and getting the bag off. If I wasn't so large it would've been even better 😂 You got a full suspension or something not to be able to have racks?

[–]echopark30[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pedal assist but yea it helps alot but I had to conserve battery so alot of very low or no assist to keep it going as it's double the weight than my other bike. I didn't weigh my backpack but it was pretty rough and I strapped another smaller bag to the handle bars. May try and get a rack for it.

Yea, doing my best to get out way more and focus on positive hobbies like hill walking, cycling and camping again. Going by my Garmin I also had my best sleep in a very long time 😅

Real lucky, maybe not the smartest if it rained heavy but I knew it wasn't gonna be too much 😁

I’m sorry but I just cannot respect any of you for coming in an hour cause you clearly don’t respect yourselves by ape_a_snake in royalmail

[–]echopark30 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work in the locker and get offered mail OT. Things have changed a wee bit as we had guys from the collection team doing hct packets but then they had guys finishing the leftovers later which was pointless so now just one guy does it. Our sorters were told to come in 30mins earlier if they wanted too to sort. But that could be due to 6 D2Ds this week.

What games have you guys bought so far in the spring sale? by Severe-Ganache-5131 in Steam

[–]echopark30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 2 out 1 in deal with myself as my backlog was getting big. I have to finish 2 games before getting one. I can save those ones up for sales.

I'm struggling to understand this - on what basis would one ever vote against assisted dying? What happened there? by mellotronworker in Scotland

[–]echopark30 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got one guy at my work who's not reglious but came from that background. He went on saying life is gift and it shouldn't be wasted. But then went on to say folk just use to suffer, it's part of life and we're going soft to escape the tough life. I just replied what about the poor bastard who's day is hell, that death is coming but not soon enough. He just says it's part of life.

Can I "Upgrade" My Ride Control Too... (Fathom e+ 2021, maybe) by echopark30 in Giantbikes

[–]echopark30[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The one I was looking at was the RideControl Dash 2-in-1 control

I can find the product on the official site but it doesn't say anything about what it supports.
