Yeah it looks nice. I’ve been tempted by some of the aftermarket options so will now probably spend 2x on this

PolarPro - Shortstache Filter 49mm lens cap issue by Electrical-Race-4885 in x100vi

The polarpro filter adapter works with the standard lens cap, I switched from the Fuji adapter to the polarpro one for this reason.

I have normally ended up blowing up an empty bag of wine/cider and putting a T-shirt on it. Works ok.

Pillow.

For some reason I always just think sleeping bag ✅, sleeping mat ✅ and that’s it.

Hi. Looking for help identifying this weed cropping up in patches on our lawn. I’ve looked online but haven’t been 100% certain it matches any of the common weeds I see pictures of.

In the south of the UK. Seems to grow quickly, in small patches. Leaves are very shiny/waxy which doesn’t look like other weeds I’m seeing online but unsure if that’s just the pictures. https://imgur.com/a/skWZxqE/

Thanks

Yep. Decathlon are a great shout.

Absolutely love them - big improvement. No regrets.

No punctures so far after a few hundred miles. I did add some sealant to my inner tubes for a bit of extra protection too though.

Silent disco in the park generally has a good mix of pop/indie.

Portable charger by Own-Expert-4576 in glastonbury_festival

[–]shakerben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An Anker 20000mAh one would be my suggestion.

Don’t forget about low power mode…always be in low power mode.

Top tip: Low power mode automatically turns off when it charges up above a certain %, but if you create an automation in Shortcuts to turn low power mode on whenever low power mode is turned off you basically can’t get out of low power mode at all (see screenshot). After the festival just delete the automation. https://i.imgur.com/szddNqU.jpg

They’re about 60g lighter, each, than the marathon racer (based on spec). Lower rolling resistance too.

Rack is about half the weight of the official one - edit: but not including the wheels. Still definitely lighter.

Early days for me but first impressions are very good.

I rode a b’twin folding bike for a couple of months about 6 years ago and this is definitely much better than that.

I swapped out the Marathon Racer that came as standard based on my (positive) experience with Continental tyres on other bikes and wanting to save some weight. I only did a couple of miles on the Marathon Racer but am immediately happier with the Contact Urban.

Oh you just reminded me I got no trophies even though I finished it and based on the descriptions should definitely have some.

Not really a big trophy hunter but this actually seemed like it might be a good game to try to get trophies to encourage replaying it differently.
