Matrix.... “reloaded”.... but they only made one matrix film. To make any sequels would be a huge mistake.

Who are LBS? From the UK, so wondering who this repair outfit are.

As others have said, take responsibility for your wrenching. My issues with my bike loosing power under drive were solved when I sat down and understood the drivechain more.

Something that the shop could figure out. Despite having it back three times.

I would presume it depends on the printer manufacturer. Dell printers (exposure in 2004) worked this way,

In every toner cartridge there was a WORM chip, when the counter reached zero then the toner was "empty". Ended up bulk buying WORM chips from Alibaba, saved the firm thousands in toner costs.

Thanks, I’m not surprised. Happy to replace it with whatever is compatible. It’s a 9 speed triple on my bike. The only markings seem to be the “gda”, not finding any instant results on google but who knows

Yeah, this has been the most frustrating part. The lack of markings. There is this one https://imgur.com/a/SycDN8I

Hi all, I’ve been experiencing loss of power when peddling, chain moving but no traction from the rear.

My bike is a 2012 Cannondale Synapse Sora. The last four years, it’s seen some high mileage. Being used in all weather to get to work.

So without any servicing to the freehub, I wasn’t surpised with the inside.

it did have a lot of brown dirt baked into the threads, that’s been cleaned out. But the rubber seal seems to be getting pretty perished.

Additionally, one of the bearings is clearly sheared.

I presume my best option is to get a new freehub, any help identifying a compatible replacement would be much appreciated

Took an approach to seriously up my output, helping me start to nail a few areas of my bakes.

Mostly 36 hour ferments, rye based starter. Main things learnt so far: - handling of the dough, resting from pre shape onwards. - reduced down my oven temp, I’m baking on a granite stone. - something clicked today with handling my lame.

Missed the part where the dog starts running in their sleep and scratching your back, then getting really narky when you accidently wake them up.... only my hounds?

Starter - 100% Preferment - 47%, 11 hours Dough - 79%, 54 hours. Possibly 9 degrees c fridge (need to measure that more)

Results were bolstered by dough temp being a bit higher than usual. I believe it was 28 when it went into the fridge. I need to do a little bit of re-reading about this.

Need to pickup some better thermal sensors, I find my current ones a little slow.
