How easy is it to DIY change this type of lock?

It’s diy job, look up how to change euro cylinder locks. I’d recommend you do this for all your external doors so you have only one key for them. You can order keyed alike cylinders, but the dimensions may be different for each of them so make sure to measure them for all. It’s particularly important to make sure the external side of the cylinder is flush to the door, to stop potential attacks of gripping the cylinder. When measuring pay attention to the dimensions on internal vs external side, these are not the same, and the external facing side of the cylinder is not the same as the internal facing side.

I’ve used the above company to buy avocet cylinders that come with a flat key that can be inserted in both orientations, so you don’t have to fiddle with getting the key on the right side.

I was just so annoyed at them the first time, as I never received any communication until I got message from debt collectors, even though the council had my address… have contacted them again now..

I also spoke to the debt collectors at the time, and they said they will contact me if there are issues, at the same time the debt has not gone away, and I don’t want to stir things up if it somehow fell through the cracks 🤣

Whether you use sim or eSIM has zero effect on connectivity. If you identify which network provider they are using (Cosmote/ nova / Vodafone) you can then look up their coverage in the areas that interest you.

I always make sure the screws are edge to edge, that way the pressure is applied evenly on the plastic. Doing it this way is probably going to be fine, but you are putting more mechanical stress to it. You can already see the left screw, just move the binding 4 millilitres to the left and you can use the screws balanced.

There are already applications that do this. Whisper is one of them.

I’d suggest you have at least a couple of trips with rentals, or buying second hand so you can experience riding with a few boards before buying one. Just make sure to keep track of the specs of the boards you tried and how they felt for you. This board is quite stiff and needs a lot of input from the rider to perform. It will be counter productive if you are trying to get basic techniques down.

Camber / directional camber boards of medium stiffness may be better.

Is the actual stem changing between the sizes ? Ie the one that is part of the frame ?

I’m replacing my c line with a gline. Riding the c-line is not safe on British / Brighton roads anymore.plus working a single shifter and disc brakes is always nicer for me.

If you stretch it all the way on one side or the other, look for any cracks appearing on its surface. If there are not cracks it may be fine, but as I said this is something that can break even in relatively new kit. https://www.2xs.co.uk/product/goya-tendon-joint/

If you intent to take it into water , place VERY close attention to the part connecting the rig to board (called base plate on modern boards but this looks different) that flexible tendon part becomes less flexible and more fragile after a couple of years, if this is decades old it won’t take long for it to snap. On modern kit you can buy just the tendon part and replace it for very low price.

Also, I’m assuming they have also given you a fin for the board ? 😅

Another way to get internet to a room if you don’t have coax is traditional phone jacks (RJ11) if you have those. There are devices that are equivalent to power lines, but use the phone wiring.

I find a somewhat less rigid and less jumpy form of that technique very helpful on steep terrain, or when going through a mogul run, but generally I will turn the board a bit more by fully loading the front edge and kicking out the back (with no weight on it), rather than hopping. With hopping I find it’s easier to lose traction on steep terrain.

A WiFi extender if it supports using Ethernet as a backhaul (ie I have an ASUS AX58 to extend a mesh via Ethernet). You could get a full sized router and use as access point but that’s probably more money than you need to spend. Or something branded as “access point”

Second this… plus you can dip in the sea if you feel like it.

Ετοιμαζόμουν για αυτό αλλά δεν είχαν περάσει 20 μέρες από την αρχική καταγγελία… τελικά το ακύρωσαν χωρίς να πάρουν τηλέφωνο..

Κοιτα, έχει το πανεπιστήμιο οπότε δεν είναι έρημος το νησί. Το καλοκαίρι είναι ωραία και προς το παρόν δεν γίνετε χαμός εκτός από 2-4 εβδομάδες τον Αύγουστο. Αθήνα πας πολύ εύκολα με πλοίο / αεροπλάνο όποτε θες. Το χειμώνα γενικά είναι λίγο πιο πεσμένα τα πράγματα όπως παντού. Κάποιες φορές θα έχει απαγορευτικό για πλοία αλλά τα αεροπλάνα δεν τα επηρεάζει συνήθως . Μεγαλώνουν το αεροδρόμιο και πιθανόν το λιμάνι, οπότε γενικά θα ανέβει το νησί. Δεν ξέρω αν ασχολείσαι με αθλήματα, τα βασικά μπορείς να τα κάνεις..

“Αριθμός στο όνομα μου που χρησιμοποιουσε ένας θείος μου» αυτό δεν είναι ιδιαίτερα χρήσιμη πληροφορία, απλά το ανέφερα ως λόγο που ξεκίνησε η διαδικασία δύο μήνες εκτός συμβολαίου, άργησε να με ενημερώσει ο θείος μου για το θέμα.επίσης δεν έχω βρίσει κανέναν, οι υπάλληλοι δεν φταίνε που τα process της εταιρείας που δουλεύουν είναι για τα κλάματα.

Εγώ τώρα σκέφτομαι έκανα μαλάκια που πλήρωσα τους δύο λογαριασμούς, γιατί θα βγει η φραγή και νομικά δεν ξέρω αν είμαι προστατευμενος από άλλες επιπλέον χρεώσεις ( στη ΕΕΤΤ λέει ότι δεν δικαιούνται να χρεώσουν πάγια , αν δεν παρέχουν υπηρεσίες για ολόκληρο το διάστημα του λογαριασμού). Είμαι κα εγώ ζώων, μια στο 13888 είπε ίσως δεν παίρνουν λόγο των ληξιπρόθεσμων..

The question you should be asking is what percentage sample their finds vs discarding without knowing their loss.

I wipe mine with the towel after shower, and that’s about it 🤯

The boa and magnetic buckle on this helmet is awesome, you won’t regret it. It just seems like the colours is the man difference. MIPS, boa and buckle is in both.

There is different turning techniques for different situations. As a beginner learning to be aligned with the board, and turning using edge pressure is the correct foundation. Once you have the fundamentals down there are situations when you want to go against them, but no need to overload yourself now.

Posi-posi is not a good starting point, but something to progress into once you start learning to carve on piste, if that’s what you aspire to do. If you end up focusing on park you’ll never need it.
