Any question answered...

It's a problem with many concoctions involving fresh fruit stored in low-oxygen conditions (see improperly canned foods).

what kind of IFTTT applet do I need to program if I only want certain photos that I have taken on my phone to appear as a row on a spreadsheet? It does it for ALL photos but I only want specific ones.

IF(=PENIS), THEN........

much more mundane .. receipts

Amaze...

Later on, this chili / vodka mix will be combined with a "soup"

What you're making is chilli vodka, which seems a bit redundant for making Mexikaners since you can just add chilli sauce to the soup.

Any recommendations for decent glass glue?

It's for a large vase that I use as a terrarium for some leaf insects, however the base has sheared off. The break is very clean so I hope it should be repairable, but it needs to be a strong bond as the base is quite heavy. Appearance is not particularly important and being waterproof is desirable but not essential as I usually keep water in a separate pot within the vase.

Silicone. Check with the manufacturer for the right grade, but some of them will hold the sides on skyscrapers.

Yea, or I could just buy ready-made Mexikaner and skip all the faff!

Seriously though I want it to taste like these Habaneros and not some "chilli sauce", and I want to avoid heating the berries as it changes their flavour significantly, which is why I'm infusing the vodka with them.

Then go ahead and make chilli vodka (EDIT: or make your own chilli sauce with your favourite habaneros). There doesn't seem to be much hazard associated with making fruit infused alcohol or indeed alcohol infused fruit, as generations of people have survived sloe gin. Just avoid consuming anything which goes pop when you open it :)

Grand Thanks. In that case I'll go with some of this stuff. The bumf says that it has a tensile strength of 310psi which sounds like quite a lot. They also have a glass glue but I think this looks better.

Does anyone know if / where I can rent a road bike in Phuket Thailand? Google yields nothing.

Do some inner tubes have some sort of granular stuff in them? I've had a weird noise coming from my dynamo hub and spent a bit of time diagnosing it. It transpires it was the inner tube had quite a bit dry stuff inside and was "swooshing" around when I was riding or spinning the wheel in the stand. Never come across this before so I'm intriqued.

Having driven in Phuket I wouldn't want to ride a bike on any of the roads. I just don't think it's done, renting that is, unless you do MTB guided tours.

I wanted to make a gift for my wife. We recently went on holiday and I'd like to make a map of the location, with lines showing the routes we took with text showing dates and names of places /things we visited.

A quick browse of the web didn’t throw up any commercial places doing anything I’d like. Any suggestions of how I’d go about it? Ideally I’d like something that looked good - i.e. I could create some sort of standalone document/file that has high resolution so will look good once printed and wouldn’t look out of place on our wall.

This may be further complicated with it being the whole of New Zealand so making it legible etc may be tricky.

Am I being over optimistic?

@hms does map/art stuff. Might be able to help or at least advise?

I am replacing the bearings in my formula track hubs, should I put copper grease on the outter race of the new bearings before pressing them in?

Interference fit so you don't want to do that.

Cheers! @Pifko

You can import gpx files and add photos/ place names and text to google maps.
There is then an option to print map on the map page, gives you something like the attached that I printed to pdf

Where can I get a replacement front Focus R.A.T axle?

Oddly hard to find online.

EDIT: If anyone else is looking I spoke to a Focus dealer (wheelbase in my case) and they can order you one.

@freezing77 Thanks!

I have a 10 speed DT Swiss 240s rear hub and want to replace the bearings.

I could either buy the correct ones from Bike 24 (15/28 x 7mm). Or, am I correct in thinking that these are the same, and as they have the word 'ceramic' is the title, are infinitely better?

should probably @mdcc_tester for advice on this...

Fork steerer bung with the longest expander?

CRC have a Colnago branded one that's 90mm long, but £25...I'd like something nearer 50-60mm and around the £10 mark :)
