Any question answered...

Those two parallel scrapes in the bottom picture? No, I wouldn't worry about that.

Yep, can feel the layup is now uneven but i'm not feeling sharp edges of seeing cracks

Even if it had gone completely through a ply, it's so thick I doubt it would affect it anyway.

Has anyone got a way of contacting a human being at See Tickets? I tried to book tickets to something, they took the money but haven't sent me so much as a booking confirmation. I can't find a way of making contact with them, just endless looping FAQs in their help centre.

i don’t get this: voodoo bizango is something called 141 qr, the bizango pro is 148 bolt thru, otherwise all marketing spunk is the same as far as i can tell- but are they different frames? i have a hunch they are different but…?

141qr is a shitty between standard that's boost but QR instead of thru axle and not many places make wheels for. Trek had a Rosco that used it, dunno if that's still the case, I speculated when needing to find a wheel for one mid parts shortage that a hope boost hub with QR end caps might work but never had to test it.

so, they must be different frames because one would have open dropouts (9mm?) and the other would have a threaded 10mm or 12mm hole?

thanks btw

Yeah, usually base model of a range, guessing cheaped out on some other bits too.

What is the best UV-resistant 1K clear-coat in a can?

I need to refurbish my car's polycarbonate headlights to pass the MOT, so will be sanding, polishing and clear-coating them. The logical thing to do would be to spray them with 2K clear-coat, but I'm shit-scared of the allegedly horrific side-effects of inhaling isocyanate activator in '2K in a can' spraypaint.

I've found 'U-Pol 1K UV Resistant Clear Gloss'; this claims to be isocyanate-free. Will such a thing last?

Any ideas what I can do to fix this - I have an email service / domain with Clara Soho, more or less a relic of early days of internet but I like to keep the email addresses this provides. Recently I get my emailed bounced when sending on to Gmail addresses with the following error:

host gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com [66.102.1.27]

SMTP error from remote mail server after pipelined end of data:
550-5.7.26 This mail is unauthenticated, which poses a security risk to the
550-5.7.26 sender and Gmail users, and has been blocked. The sender must

Claranet! I used them last millennium.

There will probably be way to add either SPF or DKIM authentication
In your customer UI. If not, ask their support.

Edit: on rereading, it sounds like you are using a Claranet domain, not your own? In which case they need to sort it out, and have probably misconfigured something.

Thanks, I'll take a look.

When I did ours on the old CMax I use one of the headlight restoration kits off evilbay and didn’t clearcote them. I just used the finest polish on them every time a washed the car (couple of times a year) it took about 2 minutes a side and they always looked like new. Right up until it got written off 4 years later.

Halfords sell an affordable headlight restoration kit. Includes everything you need, unless they’re really bad in which case you might need more sandpaper.

Thanks, but I really can’t be arsed with having to think about maintaining them, so looking to clear-coat, rotary polish and forget.

it sounds like you are using a Claranet domain, not your own?

Seems unlikely that Claranet would not have configured SPF and DKIM for their own domain.

I had to do this for exactly the same reason (Gmail bounces) on a couple of domains I have on Ionos. It's not rocket science, you just have to insert an extra field into the DNS record, although it took a while to work out how to do that and what to put in the field.

Are the bike racks outside Brockwell park lido particularly safe? Mrs is thinking of cycling there whilst Tooting lido is closed

Is it possible to run my smart turbo off a car for warming up pre race? Presuming it's not going to run the battery flat..

Not particularly safe, but they’re probably safer than most on street bike parking.

my smart turbo

Which smart turbo? Obviously in general a dumb turbo is adequate for a warm up, a smart turbo which can't run in dumb mode isn't as smart as you think it is, and any electrically powered device drawing up to about 100W can easily be run from a car if you have the right converter between the two, much more if you're prepared to engage in some hacking.

BITD after slapping on the embrocation we rode up and down the road to warm up. Lol

we rode up and down the road to warm up

Some of us still do

Oh it certainly provides resistance without being powered, just not enough resistance. Kickr Core.
