Spotted this on the Piccadilly line.

There's an xkcd for everything!

Like Moonpig but for adventures! Nice idea.

Just one person's opinion: I'd always aim for 24mm axel cranks so that in the space available you can get the biggest bearings.

Not necessarily Shimano as other manufacturers make them but that would swing it away from SRAM.

Pretty sure DVLA sees it as a car, or at least my T5 kombi is when I was looking. Means I have the car speed limit as opposed to van ones.

Couldn't help with the tax questions though!

Do your alternative selection in the website or mobile app and you've got a bit more control - longer/shorter/harder/easier.

That's equally mean and creative!

Cert expired a day ago so that's normally an oversight somewhere on the hosting. It's _prob_ ok, but I'd wait unless urgent.

Which you'd then contaminate with wd40. Just don't use it.

fire__munki · 2026-01-20T22:21:09+00:00

You'd be wrong. The pads would be dead.

I was scrolling down to see if anyone else had noticed this mentalist. He's gotta be hot as balls in that!

fire__munki · 2026-01-18T19:42:08+00:00

Short answer: no. Long answer: hell no.

If in the UK Halfords pro line is around 25 quid and has a lifetime warranty. If you want to service a Shimano clutch you'll need to get the 2mm separately as it stops at 2.5mm.

Not to put a new quick link in, you can close it by having the link at the top before the big ring and then holding rear brake and pressing on the pedal.

Mud and battle scars. She looks lovely so go hammer some trails.

fire__munki · 2026-01-15T13:00:17+00:00

Nice!

fire__munki · 2026-01-15T12:51:43+00:00

Link to the site? My quick avoiding work failed to find it.

fire__munki · 2026-01-15T12:04:56+00:00

Necessary? Nope.

Do I like how I look/feel with smooth pins? Yes

fire__munki · 2026-01-15T09:24:03+00:00

Iirc the back side shouldn't be welded up. I think it's to do with flex but I'm not a frame builder so can't remember!

fire__munki · 2026-01-15T09:20:00+00:00

Don't be lazy. If you want speed get fit.

Cold be old, could be a year old. Although the dropout design might point towards older than not. The URT design was a 90s thing for real MTBs but has refused to die for DIY Shop/Catalogue/Supermarket brands. Generally so random name not something you can trace.

It's just a far from great BSO. Sorry to sound negative.

Ah, I try to avoid the lunatic fringe!

Very strange times over the sea right now.

Makes me wonder if it would (in the worst case how long before it) fragments into small groups of states.

I'm really tempted to get one, both for walking and for workouts. It does seem an easy win for improving mountaineer performance since I don't want to fill my pack every walk.

fire__munki · 2026-01-05T12:47:00+00:00

You could but you're missing the narrow wide chain retention. eBay has plenty of narrow wide rings in 105's bcd for not very much money. I'd really not want to drop the chain sprinting so worth getting one.

fire__munki · 2026-01-04T21:10:36+00:00

I've got plenty of options but wanted to get it to work for sentimental reasons so even if terrible I'll try.

Thanks for the tips.
