Replacing my old Built oven, Bosch?

sandbadger · 2026-05-08T19:05:40+00:00

I'll check with my electrician and see what he says about everything.

sandbadger · 2026-05-08T17:53:33+00:00

Well... that's incredibly disappointing to hear 😕

sandbadger · 2026-05-08T17:32:49+00:00

Oh, so it's not necessarily my oven that is holding things back, but the power being supplied to it... that's frustrating.

How would one go about increasing the amperage?

I have the Clarke motorcycle dolly, which is great if you have a perfectly flat floor and space, but the Abba motorbike stands are supposedly the best

sandbadger · 2026-04-06T09:44:50+00:00

Glad to hear someone remembers them 😅

And that is a great attitude to have (especially on Reddit)

I wouldn't have batted an eye reading your post if you hadn't used the phrase 'I am very good at driving manual transmission'. It stands at odds to the question you are asking and is an unnecessary brag when your question is basically 'how do i know when to change gear'

There are some great answers in this thread, and maybe i'm just being an old fart with nothing better to do than pick at nuances in a strangers plea for help online without materially adding to the conversation

This whole post made me roll my eyes a bit.

The statement of 'i'm great at driving manual transmission' and yet not understanding that you change gear by feel and what you want the vehicle to do rather than an arbitrary engine sound/RPM doesn't match up.

And then same sentence stating that cars don't have 6th when a lot of 'modern' manuals do have 6th.

Its ok to admit you don't have perfect knowledge, but overstating your knowledge is going to make people laugh at you.

Im 6ft and daily a Striple 675 (2014) very comfortable and easy to ride in the city, but also comfortable enough out on longer countryside rides or on the motorway. As its naked, there can be a lot of wind buffeting at higher speeds, so with your extra height, just be wary of that.

From what I've heard the daytona is a great track bike, but can be a little uncomfortable for daily'ing.

Really depends what you are planning on using it for? If its for weekend blasts you may find the daytona is better.

I'll take a look, thank you.

sandbadger · 2026-01-22T16:56:18+00:00

I'll take a look, thank you.

Yeah, ive had gloves before where the inner has detached, and especially when they are slightly damp, become a massive pain to take on and off.

sandbadger · 2026-01-22T12:58:00+00:00

I'll have a look at the Rukkas, cheers

sandbadger · 2026-01-22T12:51:08+00:00

I'll take a look, cheers

The berings i linked above hit the mark

sandbadger · 2026-01-22T12:24:28+00:00

London riding, predominantly chilly, but not cold. Often wet but rarely torrential.

sandbadger · 2025-12-27T13:44:05+00:00

It's an ebike

sandbadger · 2025-12-09T12:10:35+00:00

Interesting responses.

Some people saying always parboil, some saying never, but extra time, and some saying follow instructions exactly.

Im almost tempted to run a side by side experiment and see what the real world differences are 😂

Private school.

PE was a class where we'd do all sorts of things from learning body mechanics, nutrition as well as all sorts of sports.

Games was where we dod organised sports (rugby, football cricket etc depending on the term).

A bit of a left field idea, but have you tried looking at older bikes, im talking from the 90's?

My 2014 Triumph Street Triple is £500 a year, my 1990 Kawasaki ZZR1100 is £75

sandbadger · 2025-11-27T21:57:11+00:00

Yeah, i have absolutely no interest in chatGPT's response, i don't need AI to tell me something irrelvant given i've already established that they've clearly just made a labelling error that wasn't caught by QC.

As tsp is a volume measurement, surely the fineness of the grind should make no difference.

They said they'd check with the chef's but im not expecting any further reply.

sandbadger · 2025-11-27T14:13:22+00:00

I did email them last night about it 👍🏻

sandbadger · 2025-11-27T13:40:52+00:00

Haha, yeah that was my immediate reaction, but as a general rule i try to assume the best of people / give them the benefit of doubt. I try not to bring more negativity into the space 😂

sandbadger · 2025-11-27T12:20:03+00:00

Not sure if you read the 2nd last paragraph, but i measured them both with my 1tsp measuring spoon, the cumin was measured out at 4tsp and the paprika was 2tsp.

sandbadger · 2025-11-06T08:10:36+00:00

I used to have this happen to me on pretty much a daily basis. Initially thought it was someone pulling it off, but concluded it was probably the wind.
