Any question answered...

Many many thanks. It was a freak accident, somehow the spray deflected off a housing ferrule and back up at me. Will remember safety squints (of the transparent plastic variety).

@snottyotter it’s rubbish isn’t it? Both the product and getting stuff in your eye(s). Smells terrible, drips a lot, the flimsy lid breaks easily, and it’s got Teflon in it to boot (sorry lungs). Gonna tell work to get wd40 branded stuff instead.

Gt85 or t2f works perfectly?

I find wd40 too oily, GT85 is good for all sorts, including cleaning most stuff, and the teflon is supposedly not the forever chemical type.

Going to Greece in June, flying in to Athens, overnight stay then ferry to Naxos. Similar but reversed on the way home a week later. What's the best site to book the ferry tickets? There seem to be a lot and I can't be arsed checking each one to see which aren't adding ludicrous fees.

I have this vintage of Genesis Equilibrium Disk.
I would like to put a fork on that will accommodate a wider tyre (700x32c with guards). What are my (not eye-wateringly expensive) options?

Is that my old one?

I found it rode very nice with 650b, so that could be an option for more cush

I think I bought it from @Ifonlyiwerebelgian as a rolling frameset. Long time ago now.

I actually am running it 650b (see below). I want to change the tyres to marathon supremes and they rub slightly so I thought I'd see what the fork options are.

What are you supposed to gift a kid who's getting christened? Just a birthday type present?

Honestly, who the fuck does this nowadays, I'm amazed they let my mate in a church.

Surely a science book?
Or drugs.

My goddaughter got some Duplo.

I'm absolutely not religious (this was known prior to me being picked), but did have a good chuckle with the priest when he said that we can just extinguish the candle we'd just lit a few minutes prior, that was supposed to represent the light of christ.

Bit of selective symbolism going on there

Something silver is traditional - spoon, moneybox, that sort of thing. Someone gave our daughter premium bonds which was nice.

We sponsored a rescue donkey. Kids get enough presents.

I hear these are popular

the teflon is supposedly not the forever chemical type.

I didn't even know the were different types of PTFE, although I guess you can make different polymer lengths.

I think we are still in the C6 vs C8 period:

Please save me having to make one, I’m after an old fashioned metal chainstay guard, can’t seem to find one anywhere.

Your nearest bike recycling charity/project?

Bankruptbikeparts often have strange things like chain guards hidden away on their website.

I now want a combined handlebar pizza rack
