  • I heard banana skins take 6 months to decompose but I suspect that's not true.

  • Discarded banana skins still look like litter though.

  • Even so, I can't help but think that a banana skin properly hurled into the base of a hedgerow somewhere is better for the planet overall than one put in a litter bin and sent to landfill. I have no evidence to support this though.

  • Discarded banana skins still look like litter though.

    This. Imagine what the hedgerows of Surrey and Kent would look like if every cyclist did it :(

  • That's why I wrap the banana skin in plastic before I throw it to the side of the road. It keeps it tidier.

  • Throw them over the hedgerows into the front garden.

  • Or save them to dispatch of an annoying wheelsucker Mario Kart style.

  • Just HTFU and eat them.

  • I de-skin my bananas before each ride to save weight anyway.

  • a quick pre ride crank?

  • Bananas are wrong.

  • It's never quick :(

  • And your banana is severely peeled?

  • And your banana is severely peeled?

    I'm of Jewish heritage if that's what you mean?

  • Bike shop recommendations:
    super-speedy Bike build/parts swap, on Friday, with BB30 tools and skill ,in London
    Or if anyone can help me do it and has the tools I will pay with beers/ coffee/ etc (as I can do it, just won't have tools with me....

  • Anyone have a pmp seatpost?

    I have one of these and need to know what torque I need to apply to the bolts. Mine is all clicky and I have foolishly thrown my instructions away.

  • Quarter turn tighter than they are now.

  • Same again until the clicking has fucked off.

  • I've been doing that for a worryingly long time...

  • Building a bike from bin parts:

    Can I use a long cage rear mech on a road bike (7 speed cassette, two chainrings)?

    It's all I've got, and it's a good one, would be a shame not to use it...

  • As long as you're willing to suffer the barbs of forumengers.

  • Maybe the clicking doesn't come from the seatpost itself but from the seatpost clamp?
    That was the issue on my cheap bike. shimming the seatpost with the old soda-can trick helped.

  • Maybe the bit where the clamp is bonded to the post is fucked.

  • Cover everything in grease and see if that helps.

  • Slipping seatpost incoming...

    Edit: for this post to be actually helpful:
    cover everything in grease except the seatpost/seattube interface. Cover that in carbon paste instead.
