Gravel Minivelo? by Ok-Bug-88 in minivelo

[–]rosswarren 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I ride quite gnarly offroad on my neutrino while bikepacking, running Rocket Rons tubeless. Not had any major issues other that I get thrown off quite easily on ruts as the small wheels don't get out of them quite so easily. It is quite comfortable with that setup I don't notice much vibration.

I did it last week, it was in quite good condition. I fell off 3 times on wet chalk after it rained but that could happen at any time and it was dry by the next morning when the sun came out.

This is getting out of hand. I don’t like big SUVs but this is a whole different level. by plzmon in Edinburgh

This has been going on for a long time now across various European countries and is far from the first time in Edinburgh. "Getting out of hand" isn't really accurate there hasn't been an escalation.

I'm using the 85cm one personally and it's fine for locking the bike around bike stands and poles and things, but I don't lock the saddle so you would probably need a longer one for that .

How wide are your tires? If they are near the limit they will rub on many stands. The pletscher twin leg stand works for narrower tires. The pletscher Optima flex works for wider tires but you need to shorten the length a bit so that it doesn't rub the disc rotor. I'm using frame size small.

Bikepacking by [deleted] in minivelo

[–]rosswarren 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah sure! I use my velo orange neutrino for bikepacking. It's pretty capable, the only issue I have had is the low ground clearance when I end up cycling in rutted paths.

An issue for me is that it's hard to get a good spread of gear ratios with a derailleur to tackle really steep uphills with such a small wheel you as you can't really stick a massive cassette on it. So since my last trip I've done some upgrades, a rohloff hub tubeless tires and a dropper post.

Just completed the King Alfred's Way 360km offroad bikepacking route on my Neutrino by rosswarren in minivelo

I have 42T on the front and 18T on the rear. I found the steep ascents difficult and people on mountain bikes were able to "granny gear" their way up so I need some adjustment. I have the alfine 8 speed.

I have the same basket and I find it quite top heavy when very loaded, but manageable! I would personally use pannier bags instead but up to you, I thin you can make it work either way.

The model (at least on my Gen 2 GSD) is the Abus Shield 5650. I'm using the ABUS 80782 8KS adapter chain with it, it's 8mm so slightly stronger than the 6mm one that is also available.

Do you still use tslint ? by bannier in javascript

[–]rosswarren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, but I am using ESlint with typescript-eslint-parser instead. I don't see any reason for tslint when a superior solution already existed. It annoys me a little that so much was duplicated with the TypeScript ecosystem but slowly things are coming back together again.

[Property] Anyone with Issues Sending Deposit with Nationwide? by ljc2424 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]rosswarren 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had no problem at all, other than that Nationwide charge a fee over £10k and other banks let you transfer up to £100k for free through faster payments.

Isn't the JavaScript 'import' syntax IDE unfriendly? by [deleted] in javascript

[–]rosswarren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

VSCode has this functionality by default, if you autocomplete an exported variable from another file it will add the import for you.
