I need a company to move a Pallet from UK to Germany. Pallet weighs 900kg.
I am struggling to find a company that's not massive and extremely complicated to do this.
Recommendations gratefully accepted!

Can't @hippy just use the ferry himself?

Try First Point.
We use them to ship stuff to the EU on a regular basis.
Essentially, they are an agency with a pool of vehicles ranging from a Luton to an artic which would otherwise be returning home empty.

I eat pallets like that for breakfast.

thanks - exactly the kind of recommendation I'm after!

Let me know how you get on.

Do Boots still do disposable 35mm cameras? If not, where in central might?

Great shout, I hadn't thought of that. Thanks!

I'm having unhealthy thoughts about a Kona Paddywagon. Does anyone know the max tyre clearance with guards?

Don't you have a pompino?

Yeah, I like it a lot. The plan would be to build something almost identical for pretty much no good reason. It's a size too small though and the main triangle won't fit my frame bag which is kind of annoying. I also just like a project.

Haven't camped in ages.

Will this alpkit burner be compatible with this gas bottle? Or will there be tragedy in the Welsh borders?

I think you want gas cartridges with a threaded valve for that burner.

Thanks, yes pretty sure you are right 👍

Without padded shorts, I find a C17 comfy for about 30 miles. Anything longer and sit bones start feeling a bit sore, so I put a Phenom on for longer rides (which has it's own issues).

Question, do sit bones get used to it if I keep doing shorter rides and steadily increase miles? Like calluses on fingers, or are they just how they are?

Without padded shorts

Well, there's your trouble. There's a reason why padded shorts exist.

do sit bones get used to it

Apparently not for pro riders doing 30000 miles a year, so I can't see why they would for anybody else.

Have you got the correct width saddle?
I used 143mm Spesh saddles for years, never felt great, then got my bum bones measured at the lbs, turns out 155mm is what I needed, now I can ride 50+ miles (without padded shorts) with no discomfort.
