Any question answered...

I have one of the air zounds pictured but took it off ages ago.

What I found was that it was great at generating a noise that people could hear but then associating that noise with a bicycle wasn't normal so it had really limited uses. Fun when someone driving beeps you and you can beep them back but beyond that was rather useless. Also the bottle isn't regular bottle cage size or anything so you are pretty much forced to either ghetto pad it out to make it work with a bottle cage or mount it in some dumb way with the rubber tube everywhere as it's longer than you will ever want it.

I know that motorcycle thread is >>>>>
... But, any good reliable (and reasonably priced) place in London to get my motorbike tank re lined?
Something that will last longer than me preferably?

I never have needed to use anything other than my lungs and only to stop people doing something silly - like step out in front of me whilst looking at their phones. A shout can convey more urgency and creative swearing than any horn ever could.

Crane make some very nice quite loud bells though.

If you find you need a horn that frequently - perhaps the issue may be with you.

Get one of these?

I'm looking for a lugged, disk equipped frame to build a poser rack equipped swept handlebar type job.

What are my options?

All City Space Horse?

If you can find one second hand the Singular Peregrine, ticks all those boxes.

@root this is a top shout

There was a guy selling a full-build Peregrine w/ Alfine on YACF for around 4-500 a month or two back, think it was a 56, based near Manchester and unable to post though.

Cheers, I think I found it. Red one? wants 550, which is a bit more than i wanted to pay but i'll see if i can negotiate. Otherwise, I might change tracks a little and buy his Vaya frameset.

Sounds about right - has garage worth of bikes for sale - I tried to buy the Vaya but didn't get a response. Think there may have been someone in line before me, but that fell through and by that point I'd lost interest in any more 700/29er wheels and bought a Troll :)

I'm going to Cologne for the weekend. Are there any good bike shops I shouldn't miss, or indeed other things I shouldn't miss (bar the obvious)?

Any recommendations for a dremel?
I would be using it primarily for polishing stuff and the odd bit of drillium. Would the Dremel 3000 be a decent choice?

Any point in getting a 6800 cassette over a 5800 cassette other than grams?

I have one . Perfectly adequate power for most things. But would a small second-hand pillar drill be better for drillium stuff?

Edited to remove Wilko tool, which I've been told isn't great.

If you can get a good deal for the Dremel, go for it.

Anyone aware of a tool that allows you to use one link / URL and then have that link redirect a user based on their platform (desktop / mobile)?

i.e

Displayed link: http://www.bbc.co.uk
User A (Desktop) clicks through to: http://www.bbc.co.uk
User B (on mobile / tablet) clicks through to: http://www.bbc.co.uk/mobile

Why not use filmontv.com, or whatever it's called?

What's that day/weekend when they open lots of places in Ldn that are usually closed - gardens, historic houses and stuff?

It would be for making the initial holes then I would then use the drill press at my old college ideally to countersink and then polish on the old skl polishing wheel. I think I'm gonna go for the one from eBay for about £35 poste. It has the variable speed which is ideal for polishing smaller stuff then potentially invest in a drill press stand for another £33 quid in the future.

Thanks for your reply

(Not just London.)

That's usually just done with the code of the website.

Any server side script can read the User Agent string and programmatically modify the content which is served to the client. Writing the basic script is easy, it's just a matter of

if user_agent = [mobile]
then href = m.bbc.co.uk
else href = bbc.co.uk

The hard part is the regular expression in the square brackets, parsing all the User Agent strings to pick the mobile ones reliably.

That's usually just done with the code of the website.

Either a redirect or selecting different style sheets depending on the User Agent. I'm guessing @Soul wants to force users of his own site to specific versions of other sites depending on what device they are using. Seems like a fools errand because, as you say, the sites which do a passable job of varying their output for mobile also generally do a decent job of picking which version to serve based on the User Agent.

Not sure we can affect the code on site..

Background:

We're launching a new ad campaign this week. The landing page has a specific piece of content (4th bit down the page) that we want to direct to.

Issue: on desktop, this works absolutely fine. On mobile / tablet devices, it sends users to the 3rd piece of content (no idea why).

The client is fine with sending the user that clicks on the ad on a mobile to the top of the page but the site we're serving the ad from is device agnostic so it's not like we can just use one url on their mobile site vs desktop site.

Usually, I'd use our adserver to build out creative rules but as this is a text link (clicktag) and not an image, our adserver won't do that.

I was hoping someone knew of a tool (like a url shortner) that might have this function.
