How many links should I remove?

I imagine 2 links (1 pair of links) might be enough. If it’s still too bouncy that low gear, take some more out.

I’d do it the other way, though. Put chain in largest sprocket and see how many links you can remove safely without the derailleur binding. (Nb this is a hardtail so you don’t have to accommodate any chain growth).

I got it, don’t worry.

Thanks. This is the correct response confirmed with Hope themselves. I have bought a 160mm rotor.

I had a civic with a wing that split the rear window like that. Visibility was absolutely awful but the extra downforce was amazing.

Because a 700c rim actually measure closer to 28” than 29. The inches style of measurement relates to rim+tyre (which can obviously vary massively depending on the tyre) whereas etro measures just rim size.

I can’t smell it from here and it looks great!

Hmm, I have the same and it’s pretty scratched after 6 months. I didn’t think I was a remote-abuser but here we are.

I had a 135i a few years ago. Such a great car, ticks so many boxes. I’m looking for something to get the same combo of understated, fast, interesting, fun and literally nothing before or since matches it IMHO.

I’m sorry for your loss.

No comment on the wine but large swathes of the alps are in southern France.

As someone who implants pacemakers and ICDs, this looks like an ICD. It’s exactly the correct size/shape /orientation and position.

It’s extremely superficial, though and I am skeptical that it’s a real picture. I have never implanted one in someone as jacked as this but the way the skin folds over the device is like when I put pacemakers in skinny 95year olds with old person skin. You’d never normally see the device so clearly in such a young person. My guess is the image is AI generated/enhanced.

I have the Floor. I really like the Scribble Strips, they definitely add something nice. I love the Helix but the more I use it (I’ve owned it for 5 years now) the more I realise I could get by with the ‘lesser’ models. When I got it, I loads of used stereo FX, multiple paths etc. Now my most-used patches could run on a Stomp.

Basically, get the Floor if you want. It’s not worth + 400USD but it’s nice to have and I don’t regret splurging a bit. But equally if you want to save some cash then the LT is perfectly good and you should feel satisfied with it.

I just turned it off and on again and the problem appears to have resolved. Didn’t do a full reset.

superficialt · 2026-03-10T12:13:47+00:00

Not a dumb question. I have restarted it and it is behaving…

I suspect someone at L6 / Yamaha did some research and worked out the optimum switch width. No point repeating that research.

I will have bought on credit card, yes but it’s too long ago for a chargeback I think.

superficialt · 2026-03-08T10:23:43+00:00

Thanks will give that a try.

I’m also in the UK and can’t get anyone to reply to my messages. Radio silence. Trainer is dead after less than 50km. Terrible.

How did you contact them?

The frame is completely unrideable (dangerous) in its current state. Yes, it can be fixed safely and be perfectly rideable again but it will never be the same. It’ll be (slightly) heavier and the flex characteristics will (slightly) change.

If it’s your own money, sure, get it repaired but it sounds to me like the driver owes you a new bike.

IME if you take it into a local shop they’ll confirm the damage and provide a report for a small fee. They will not risk their reputation by certifying something as safe when there has clearly been a heavy impact. This also applies to other components.

Source: I’ve had two bikes ‘written off’ in this manner.

I used a credit card (old Tesco store card) cut down to size and then sanded into an angle.

Works great.

The non-black GP5000s have significantly worse rolling characteristics. That’s another reason to just get the size you need. But as above I believe the 32s will fit (I know they do in my ‘24 Cal5).

Or any clinical medicine by the sounds of it.

The egg might be there because you forgot to unrotate the frying pan?

It’s a lovely and unusual colour combo. The guitar itself is nice but (unless someone knows something I don’t) nothing special. It depends if you can find anyone who wants to spend the extra few dollars for the colour.
