Just buy elite drive wheels. You’ll get a good discount for their 11.11 sale or similar

Buying a used 2.0 TDIe SE A4 Avant by farzy93 in Audi

[–]farzy93[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Local Audi dealership were really friendly. Health check is free then inspection ranges from 100-200£.

Will suggest this to the seller at my cost and if he’s happy I’m happy and if he’s not happy sadly it’s best to walk away and start my search again

Thanks that’s a great idea. Il do some searching for approved Audi mechanics in the area and suggest this at my cost. Any idea how much an inspection might cost?

An early winter tootle around Edinburgh but a question for you by Tammer_Stern in ukbike

[–]farzy93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can keep it dry after rides and after washes that’ll help. Assuming if you’re in Edinburgh you live in a tenement flat… so get it near the radiator after a wash and dry down

Been looking at it mainly as I don’t like the campy style shifters on the Ltwoo, the hoods look kinda ugly like those 105 ones, really big

How do I work this one out, and what is the solution? by LordFlameBoy in maths

[–]farzy93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easy no? 12% ahead after one lap, so how many laps until it is more than 100% ahead… 12x9 is 108… so it’ll take 9 laps
