LTIL - the Hunt wheels I purchased on Friday turning up this morning! LTIH - finding out that the hose for the rear brake is about 15cm short so the whole build is on hold until a new one is bought... :mad:

I had one of these (turned out it was related to all the cartilage disappearing). Doctor's treatment advice was to hold a pack of soda crystals against the back of my knee when it flared up!

I was off sick all of last week, which is why I've now got so much work :mad:

Super busy week for work, so what arrives at the door this morning? Not a distraction at all!

Damn you! I was already broke enough...

But even they keep changing standards just to fuck with us! :D

They should be. 2018 was the intro of SBG, and 2021 saw them drop the HTA from 64 to 63

Just cracked it open. Less peat than I expected and much smoother too. Very nice drop!

Pretty good price on Code RSC if that's your thing https://www.summitcycles.bike/product/sram-code-rsc-brakeset-complete-front-and-rear-black/?mc_cid=e556e87561&mc_eid=44f06d2c7c I paid about $100 less for a 2nd hand set recently

My assumption is it would be fine, but are there any likely issues with hanging a bike frame off the ground by either front or rear axle? Got a currently wheelless frame that zee wife is nagging me to get out of the way

Anyone tried the Port Charlotte 10 year old? I've just been gifted a bottle. I'm not an overly huge peat fan, but don't mind the occasional Ardberg or Laphraiog. Is it similar?

Ha. Pretty much the same order. Derailleur arrived today, shifter plus some other bits went back north.

I like the end of FMJ, but I think it's because you can make fit a bunch of different themes. For me it tied in to the intro and the shaving of the heads. We (the Marines, who are the government, who are us) took these children and broke them down. We bullied them, traumatized them, sent them to...

Had a Pushys shipment split across 2 parcels (with dispatch emails sent 12 hours apart...). First parcel was meant to arrive yesterday but is now being returned to sender due to incorrect shipping details. Second parcel, with the same shipping details was just delivered. There's a very good...

Meanwhile, AUKUS continues to really build up the 'sovereign' defence capability... https://asiapacificdefencereporter.com/latest-aukus-outrage-buying-towed-array-sonars-from-the-u-s/

Any science nerd types on here who could recommend good intro books for physics and chemistry? Wasn't something I was into at school (or I just didn't understand it) but it would be good to be able to converse with the eldest child as he starts to go down this path at high school (currently year...

Apparently that was the 199th mass shooting for 2023! Texas then manged to follow up it up with this: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/07/us/car-pedestrians-brownsville-texas.html

We were up around Cairns/Port Douglas last year and this is absolutely killing them up there. Lack of backpackers wanting seasonal work, plus the fact that all the properties were Airbnb or hideously expensive to rent, meant that there's a shortage of hospo workers to make everything run 'cos...

Summit now doing Deore/DVO Ripmo AFs for under $4k according to an email I just recieved https://www.summitcycles.bike/product/ibis-cycles-ripmo-af-ngx-or-deore-dvo/?mc_cid=df6680cbdc&mc_eid=44f06d2c7c and C-series SB140s at $7k if you want to advertise your dental practice...

Received another parcel of bits to stare at while I wait for the frame to turn up...
