Any question answered...

Not yet - thanks for that, I'll follow it up! :)

Has anyone got any reccomendations for appointment software? I'd like to embed a calendar on a website that people can click appointment times and enter their email and it'll send an email requesting that appointment slot.

Thanks!

There is a 2010 custom speedvagen frameset for sale on the paceline. The geometry / sizing is near perfect for me. Should I break the piggy bank and buy it?

Yes. Next?

Ha! It's not the best timing, but always been my dream road biek. On the other hand, I think it might fall into the category of 'never meet your heroes'

I have some Shimano mt66 29er wheels. They're UST tubeless compatible. Currently tubed. Google says they don't need rim tape to go tubeless. True?

True?

RTFM

Sure you can't read it for me? You've already googled it. Which I think you for.

It seems to suggest tape. Glad I did the research.

I'm going to be honest. I had no idea wheelsets had manuals.

I had no idea wheelsets had manuals

All Shimano product has manuals (and exploded views [EV] for spare parts). Nearly all of them from about the mid 90s onward are available online. They have gone a bit nanny-state lately, so you have to use the dealer manuals [DM] to get any useful information, because the service instructions [SI] which are delivered with the product now just say "For service, take it to a dealer" 🙁

Shimano have probably gauged the state of average cyclist mechanical competence correctly, which is what's sad about it.

Long shot but does anyone recognise this place? That's my brother playing the giddy goat but it was a long time ago and neither of us can remember where it was; we think it's probably the Peaks, certainly somewhere in the North West.

Could you work backwards from the EXIF data?

Crossreference the date and time with your Google Location History if you have it enabled.

No.

Looks like a pumping station

Is it on a dam?

And there's a road bridge over something (river, another road, a railway?)

Well. thanks for all the well meaning comments but I was there, I know all that, we've spent a lot of time on Google satellite view and street view and so on. Was just hoping for someone who recognises it.

That’s the sort of question I’d ask on stw forum

the weather appears to be quite shit, bet it's in the UK?

Ps: you're welcome!

First thought was that it looked like the pumping station on the descent to Dunsop Bridge in the Trough of Bowland, but it isn't. Roads and topography don't look like the Peak District to me.

@WillMelling Footholme Pumping Station? It looks like somewhere up there to me, but it is 20 years since I cycled that way: https://goo.gl/maps/czdhwB48cXZomWoJ9

I've actually had a look at both those places, beginning to think it is around Bowland somewhere. Not much street view on those paths though.
