Any question answered...

The kind that has an oil or grease nipple.

What is the most wet proof freehub design?

A fixed wheel :) All freehubs are compromised by the fact that seal drag between the rotor and the hub shell turns the sprockets forwards when you stop pedalling, leading to flapping chain and slow pick up. The interior bearing seals are OK because they have a small diameter, so the seal drag doesn't have a large moment. The problem comes at the junction between the rotor and the hub shell, where you have to create a seal that's about 35-40mm in diameter. Contact seals are better than labyrinth, and labyrinth is better than nothing.

Store the bike in a warm dry place, and pull the freehub off and clean it if you've been riding in particularly wet or filthy conditions. If you can't do that, prioritise designs which are cheap to repair.

Injecting grease there won't do anything for the vulnerable area.

New 9S chain put on by mechanic developed several stiff links in a matter of days and is a massive PITA. Upon closer inspection the links say it's a 'Z90' 9 speed chain ie some unknown POS, I think. Bin it and get a Shimano one or could there be something else that's causing the stiff links?

Just checking, Xbox plus iTunes?

I set up the in-laws Xbox to do Netflix etc. This summer.

How does the Brother Kepler disc compare with the Croix de Fer 20 spec wise?

Not sure why it’s making you so anxious

Are the Tektro FL750 levers ok? Or are there some better for the same price?
Need some flat bar levers for road calipers. No silly 2 finger tiny levers

I use these with road calipers, dunno if you're supposed to or not?

Annoyingly they just put the price up. They were approx £13 a few days ago, and came with the inner and outer brake cables too.

All those gears!

Tears for Gears

no soz, no itunes.
iplayer, 4OD, DVD, netflix, youtube,
Not tried itunes though.

Uhng.

Get spotify

Especially if you've more than 1 person in the fam who likes music. Family account gets you 5 or 6 separate accounts for total 14.99 a month. Better than a tenner each normally

Its the movies on iTunes I've bought....
Punches self in knackers. Repeatedly.

Don't get spotify if you like musicians.

Remove the DRM, use something else afterwards.

Movies?
Bought?!
Have you just made the switch from VHS?

I have kids. Go gentle on me.
I don't have many subscriptions, what's the point in renting multiple times when you know you're going to watch frozen at least 17 times this month?

The more I think about it the more I think this would be a way for someone in a similar situation to me.

Youtube > spotify
Using your own catalog > everything else
