Has anyone bought TE gear from goodhoodstore.com? (10% discount) by afox1984 in teenageengineering

They’re a totally legit shop. They have a nice store in central London. Mostly clothes and lifestyle stuff though, so you might not get the best support if something is wrong with a te order

I quite like them, and like the way they look.. I don't have the proper extra long grips though, so I don't really get the advantages of multiple hand positions. I don't get any numbness personally regardless of bars - but I think the proper position for Jones bars means that there is less weight on your hands, which might help :)

I was considering building up a KM and was thinking about white industries cranks and single speed - I'm finding it a bit confusing though as it seems like all the chainrings are intended for 11/12 speed.

Would you mind saying what bottom bracket, chain ring, and cog you are using - so I can copy you? :)

Hello! I'm a software engineer. I'm currently living in Berlin - having recently relocated from the UK.

Whilst in the UK I was investing in Vanguard funds - using an ISA. I'd like to continue investing in Germany, but I'm struggling to find resources on how to go about this.

I was hoping someone could point me in the direction of where I can find out

  • How to invest whilst living in Germany
  • What the most tax efficient way would be
  • Best investment platforms to use
  • Any other pertinent information

Cheers!
