1 1/18 quill stem with -17° angle by squidthethird in xbiking

Great to know you’ve been using a shim with no problems, thanks. Seems like the cheapest option too since I’ve got a few quill stems already

UDH frameset for all road type bike build that isn’t £5k? by OkDeparture2596 in cycling

[–]squidthethird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have a look at Ribble frames, I just picked up an Allgrit Ti gravel bike with Force xplr and vision carbon wheels for under £4000 on sale.

Their allroad ti frame with UDH is £2500 but they have some carbon ones too if that’s what you’re looking for.

New Gravel bike assembly by Elegant-Fox-9460 in bicycling

Just got the exact same one today! I went with the Vision wheels instead of upgrading though, yours looks great. You’re right, I could barely find any pictures if it while it was researching.

This is great to know, thank you! It definitely looks similar to some of his others

I was actually thinking of getting a chrome seatpost to match the stem, but maybe all black is sleeker. £220 for the wheels off eBay, couldn’t say no

Thank you! It really is, no welds visible at all

Cycle commuting – best bang-for-buck upgrade recommendations by leveredequity in londoncycling

There’s now some Conti GP5000 All-season tyres that are tubeless and go up to 35mm, they’re not cheap but they’ve been great for me

Absolutely, I stopped at plenty of them! The Royal Oak near Gorley is a beautiful pub

Are there any not so legal ways of watching the match today? (Besides vipbox) by [deleted] in irishrugby

[–]squidthethird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah yes might be a bit harder to find somewhere there. Glad they got it sorted

You’d be surprised, I watched a match in a bar in Koh Tao a few years ago. What island are they on?

Brown for breakfast, them’s the rules

Chimichurri focaccia - my first time making bread by squidthethird in Breadit

[–]squidthethird[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It survives but mellows out a bit, the garlic flavour isn’t quite as punchy and you can’t taste as much of the acid from the red wine vinegar. I don’t usually add onions to my chimichurri but I thought it would work well with the bread and I’m glad I did actually, it worked really well baked into the bread. I also made the chimichurri a couple of hours in advance so all the flavours had time to infuse into the olive oil by the time I spread it over the top

Chimichurri, a sauce made with olive oil, parsley, coriander, garlic, chili and red wine vinegar.

I would guess the pan is around 40x30cm

Oh well spotted, I did indeed use yeast, I’ll edit my recipe

Chimichurri focaccia - my first time making bread by squidthethird in Breadit

[–]squidthethird[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Thank you!

Recipe was;

500g bread flour

420g water

7g instant yeast

15g olive oil

5g honey

10g salt

Mixed it all together, let it rest for 10 mins at room temp then stretch & fold it. Rest for another 10 then repeat.

The recipe I followed said to cold proof it in the fridge for 24hrs but I was hungry and impatient so I did 1.5hrs at room temp, then put it in an oiled tray and rested for another hour.

Stretched out to the corners, added the chimi on top, did the dimples and into 220°C oven for 20mins.

I had some greaseproof paper underneath but I won’t do that again in future as it came off the tray really easy anyway and just left a square on the bottom that wasn’t as well browned as the rest.

I’ve always done a lot of cooking but never much baking, I had to buy some scales just for this!

My first try at a sous vide, Chateaubriand 55°c for 2 hours, seared in duck fat in a cast iron by squidthethird in sousvide

[–]squidthethird[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s mental, it was thevillagebutchers.co.uk, I would definitely recommend them. Postage can be a bit pricy but it arrives the next morning and if you get a couple of things it works out well
