Any question answered...

Is there a thread on here where you can ask about new bike advice?

Might be a question better referred to a cycling forum tbh.

I’d say do it.

I had a very nice equipment trolley which has been damaged by a team member, and is now out of stock for the next 5 months: https://www.musicstore.com/en_GB/GBP/MUSIC-STORE-KT-290-Trolley-Large-Black-/art-PAH0020446-000

Can anyone please recommend a similar alternative (UK/non-Amazon) I could get?

Don’t know if Magliner is available in your part of the world but if so they are not only incredibly tough but if you do manage to damage any part everything is available separately. I used their components to build a bike trailer.

They are available, but sadly way out of budget (£66 vs £540). Appreciate the tip still.

Cheers, good luck

Gemini is a beaut.

I have an Inovativ 42" Voyager which I won't tell you the price of.

Crew I know sometimes use something I think called a RocknRoller which I thought were pretty decent depending on the load.

Can anyone recommend a 3d printers in London? I want to get a 3-4 foot tall statue printed. I already have the print file. thanks

Seems to be the same or very similar on ebay (not sure that's better than amazon for you?)

Anyone got a track pump in E14 Limehouse/Mile End that I could use from 7-8am this morning?

Or know if there are any bike shops/public pumps around which will be open?

I used Champion 3d for some smaller bits (light mounts) and they were pretty good. Although my point of reference is more about the customer experience, I know nothing about 3d printing.

The strike off was discontinued.
I received the court order and, surprise surprise, they haven’t paid. Any advice on how to enforce it? From what I’ve read it seems like a bit of a leap into the unknown. I could request bailiffs go to the shop and remove items to sell but I have no idea if they have anything worth selling. And of course, I have to pay for that.
It’s pretty farcical that you can simply ignore court judgements with no consequences.

Anyone able to tell me the top lip outer diameter of an Ikea Gottfinnande espresso cup?

I am trying to find espresso cups with diameter 53mm or less to fit in the rack thing I have.

Thanks! Saves me a wasted trip. Much appreciated.

can anyone here recommend someone to talk to about the financial ins and outs of moving to the netherlands, renting our flat here, me commuting back for work while partner works in netherlands; taxes, pensions, nifty ways of making things work? slightly horrified that it isn’t easy maths we thought it would be.

Parked somewhere for work recently. Have an email from the parking company saying they've received our number plate and we should count that email as permission to go beyond the normal parking period.

Parked there for two consecutive days. Had a couple of laters saying to pay fine but client adamant they always send those and not to bother. They also received another email from parking co saying we were registered to stay longer on both days.

Now had letter from debt collection agency. Apart from paying and adding it to invoice, how do I make it go away as I have no real desire to pay about 500 quid to these cunts? Also I'd have to pay on behalf of the other crew vehicle (I subcontracted crew), so about a grand total.

But equally don't want a default or anything on my already shit credit rating. Presuming credit rating wouldn't be impacted until it goes to court, at which case an email from the original parking company before they passed it on to the debt collection co should suffice?

The lesson here is not to believe what other people say. Per the earlier chat, you should keep on top of the paperwork. My success was on one of those schemes where you have to register your plate with the operator, if you actually have records to this effect you'd have succeeded at the initial challenge stage. The thieving scumbags seem to send payment demands to everybody because a lot will just pay up, but even they know they haven't got a leg to stand on if you've complied with the terms.

That's an amazing AQA result. The forum provides.

Have an email from the parking company saying they've received our number plate and we should count that email as permission to go beyond the normal parking period.

Then you'll be fine.
Debt collection agency will send threatening letters, huff and puff a bit and promise repeatedly that the next thing they'll do is take you to court. A year so later there's a slim chance they might even get as far as raising a claim, at which point you can remind them again you had permission from the parking company which you've told them about, and that you look forward to reminding them of that yet again if they do continue the claim. They'll go quiet for another 6 months then they'll fuck off a day or two before the court date is due.

Exactly.

edit - found what i needed via google even though none showed up first thing this morning

Found some suspect damage on my Roval carbon bars today. I haven’t crashed, so might have been a small stone hitting it or something?

Hoping it’s cosmetic, but slightly worried considering it’s carbon. What do people reckon? Should I get this checked out?

Looks cosmetic. If you squeeze it really hard with your thumbs, can you get it to make a crunching sound? If not, it’s fine.

I'd ignore it.
CF is tougher than you'd imagine.
