  • (like a url shortner)

    URL shorteners are the devil's work, a slightly useful idea which has been co-opted by the twats who ruined the internet as a way to monetise very fucking click, and in the meantime turn every simple request into a string of ten separate redirects. </rant>

  • on desktop, this works absolutely fine. On mobile / tablet devices, it sends users to the 3rd piece of content (no idea why)

    I'm guessing you're using an #anchor. Lots of browsers seem to be pretty flakey when it comes to displaying anchors in the right place, so you'd probably be better off building a landing page which just contains the content you want people to land on.

  • Agreed.

    A specific page (with local translations etc) is coming in early May but the first content launches tomorrow as it's for a specific event (happening next weekend) so can't be moved.

    If it's not possible, we'll just use the top of the page and have a shittier user journey for a couple of weeks. It's only a minor part of the campaign for now anyway.

  • As MDCC said, it's to do with the anchor, if they wanted it to go to the right place on mobile then they should have tested that when building the site.

    A quick solution would be to have a separate anchor placed on an element further down the screen and use that one as the link for the mobile users.

    Do you have control of the page people are clicking from? You can display a different url depending on their device, one including the anchor for desktop, one without for mobile.

  • URL shorteners are the devil's work, a slightly useful idea which has been co-opted by the twats who ruined the internet as a way to monetise very fucking click, and in the meantime turn every simple request into a string of ten separate redirects.

    Including the one used on this site, which makes it very easy to mess around with people:-

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news (does not go where you expect it to, is perfectly safe though...)

    URL shorteners without a way to preview are especially annoying.

  • I dont think theyll let you ride with a riser, mount a drop or bullhorn

  • The page we're clicking from doesn't distinguish between devices (and I don't have control of it).

    I guess creating and anchor further down could work. That's also out of my control but I can speak with the clients web team...

  • I dont think theyll let you ride with a riser,
    mount a drop or bullhorn (but suppose you knew that already)
    Hella rad bike, bro

  • I had 2 offers of 1" threadless headsets but unfortunately not come to fruition... Anyone got anything going?

  • Every browser can tell the device the device being used and at a minimum the width of the display.
    A quick and hacky way is just to have

    <a href="http://website.com" class="link1">Click me</a>
    <a href="http://website.com/anchor" class="link2">Click me</a>
    
    .link1{
     @media (min-width: 500px){
        display: none;
      }
    }
    
    .link2{
     @media (max-width: 500px){
        display: none;
      }
    }
    
  • Oh yeah fit some bullhorns, they'll love that.

  • Wasnt sure if thats allowed, ok, seems like its not

  • If you find you need a horn that frequently - perhaps the issue may be with you.>

    Yeah my fault for being on the roads which were built for cars.

  • Anyone on here work for Take Eat Easy? What's the pay like?

  • Aren't we all.

    HTFU.

  • ah thanks! I knew I'd seen someone who does

  • Bear with me (Cane Creek 40 in the box I think)...

  • Performance wise, fuck-all difference.

    Only exception is slightly lighter and alu cog carrier that reduced stress on alu freehubs body, whether 105 have just the one on the three largest sprocket.

    You can use 105 on alu freehubs body if you don't mind it getting mark on it, and even if there is mark on the body, it's still fine to ride.

  • So I've got a fork with carbon steerer, I'm torquing the stem bolts (Deda Zero1) to correct torque (6Nm), but after a while a bit of play begins to develop in the headset. Is it slipping? Do I need carbon assembly paste? If I loosen everything off and start afresh it's ok for a while so I don't think it's a headset issue.

  • Sound like the headsets is settling in, start again and set it up.

    Make sure to check there's enough gap between the spacers and top cap.

    6Nm sound about right to me, you can always go a little over it.

  • Done so twice now, there's def enough gap and it runs fine for a month or two. I'll try it again. Is carbon paste generally only for carbon on carbon then? Wouldn't be any benefit here?
