Any question answered...

Does your washing machine have this much forward and back movement? Seems a lot more than it was yesterday.

Looks like a suspension strut might have broken or come adrift of its attachment point. Also, is the door seal OK? Not the problem you're looking at, but worth replacing while you have everything apart

Door seal is certainly manky

Anyone know what brand Seatpost this is? Found it at a carboot and looks good quality but can’t work out who made it. Cheers

Looks like it was made by edward scissorhands

Anyone know what brand Seatpost this is?

The brand is unfamiliar, but the basic design matches the Velo Orange Grand Cru Long Setback MkII, so I'm guessing a store or bike brand got it from the same Taiwanese OEM as VO uses.

I think PlanetX / OnOne sold these.

It's a good lead, PX now owns the Holdsworth brand, and that's where the shy horse comes from

Maybe the horse was just caught in mid-sneeze and in reality it is quite comfortable in larger social situations.

Could be true for the original, the PX one definitely hideth his face in shame at the shit job the intern did copying it

Who makes thru axles with a 15mm spanner flat as well as a 6mm Allen key for tightening and loosening? I know the exist because I have one, but not sure where it's from.

What’s the point of these jacket potato ovens (over a regular oven) and why are they so expensive?

Are they particularly efficient or is it just aesthetics?

They're designed for catering use aren't they?

So imagine they're built to be on for 16 hours a day every day. Plus they're designed to be much easier to clean, etc.

The seat clamp on one of my bikes popped the other day, it's got no size on it, and can't see it on the bikes details.

I measured the tube as 30.4 ish with my callipers, but that doesn't seem to be a size. Reckon a 30mm is the one to get?

Yes.

When did the fashion change from absurdly narrow bars to absurdly wide bars? I remember couriers having cut down nubs barely wide enough for the hands sticking out either side of the stem, now all the fixies I see out and about look like they’ve aiming to look like Texas Longhorns. What memo did I miss?

like 10 years ago

What memo did I miss?

One you're entirely free to ignore. It's OK to eat snails, or oysters, or both.

Does anyone make a plywood box that is strong enough to use as a plyo box but has an open side so it can also be used for storage (when the other way up obviously)?

The opposite is true for roadies. Every year the bars get 20mm narrower, and if your shop is stocked up on 420 or even 400mm bars in 2023, good luck to you.
