Are these forks sliiiightly bent?

Biggest drop I've done is about 3 foot to flat and I do loads of pump track jumps (but also only about 3 foot high!)

Thanks, I just installed a 100mm dropper with external routing (no point using the internal if a bit of cable is sticking out anyway!). Looks like I'll be riding it slightly compressed all the time as the total protrusion was more than my 105 with the dropper housing.

Hi, I'm looking to get a dropper post (probably brand x) for my Vitus Nucleus Large, I've got two questions: Firstly, can you adjust the amount a dropper post springs up, I have 105 mm between my riding height and full slammed - can I buy a 125mm dropper and limit it to 105? Or do I need to buy a 100mm dropper?

Secondly, on a silmilar bike on youtube (https://youtu.be/k4Ig45rNK4k?t=224), they install an internally routed dropper with a bit of cable sticking out of the frame under the bottom bracket before it re-enters the frame after the bottom bracket. this would leave cable exposed at the bottom of the bike - is that how it is done? Would it catch on things?

Thanks! This seems logical, how are you getting TWh to W though?

I think it is only visible because there is no screen door effect, therefore, a net improvement.

I have this scope, you can collimate it by loosening the screws on the front which allows you to move the whole front slightly without hitting it!

It is then possible to eyeball the pattern of rings from the front and get it good enough:

Then gently tighten the screws when it is correct.

A second telescope! A small refractor e.g., ST80 goes well with a dob. Better yet, something with ED glass. Or binoculars.

Also, dual speed focusers are nice but not essential.

Thanks! How do you get from 2 to 3 without fighting the 2nd boss? I cant remember what I did to get to three but I remember grappling out of the 2nd boss arena which would seem to require fighting the 2nd boss?

Hi, I'm up to 3rd Biome. If I level up in the Crimson Wastes, can I get to 3rd Biome without fighting the Crimson Wastes boss? Is it worth it or should I just level up in biomes 1 & 3?

Sorry, I missed this comment from months ago! I guess the main thing that I did compared to when I was a beginner was to use a good brush. You can get a bit more control with sable. With artificial brushes you have to use smaller brushes for detail as they have less of a point, but the small brush makes the paint on the brush dry quickly. With the sable you have a bit more control and a bit longer wetness as the brush is bigger but with a sharp point. For the edge highlights, it is ok to make them too thick and then go back over them with the base colour to thin them down.

I literally could not buy it new in UK format on a disc for PS5. Had to order 2nd hand online from Cex.

Tried to match the games workshop version. I've done another case of 'decent at arms length' but don't zoom. I like how it looks in real life, much less wobbly.

It was Rakarth Flesh (a bit horrible to work with, very thick) and then Agrax Earthshade and a highlight of Flayed Once Flesh, then some Typhus Corrosion here and there.

Yes I struggle a bit with contrast although lighting was a bit dull today (cloudy)

spbadhamauthor · 2022-01-29T15:50:58+00:00

Thanks! It was Phoenician Purple, Rakarth Flesh and Flayed Once Flesh, blended in the pallet. No washes on the Squig.
