Any question answered...

I'm playing fast and loose, if it's working, all good.
But please, open a window.

Already have two. I've opened the back door.

Obviously wife. Always check the oven for stuff inside before turning on.

Where, if anywhere, would one buy an Igaro D1 for delivery before my partner disappears on her first long ride at the weekend?

Somehow I have lost my Garmin. I have done this by my partner losing HER garmin and then me sort of giving her mine. Is there any good reason not to replace with an Elemnt (and if one of them, why not a Bolt?) Or should I be considering something else?

This is clearly staged using a lump of Play-Doh.

Is there any good reason not to replace with an Elemnt

I've had three non-Bolt Elemnts. After a few weeks or months they start giving totally fictitious elevation data. If that isn't an issue for you, fire away. If it is, get a Bolt instead as I don't think they suffer from this.

Nice.. I am very tempted to go with the Bolt as my Garmins just make me cross

Garmins make me very cross, regularly. However, I've been very impressed with the new Edge 130. It's very small, quite simple, pretty rubbish for navigation, but for logging and as a display I've found it very good.

Is there a prize?

Can anyone recommend a sun cream that has SPF50 & 5-star UV-A protection and doesn't stain clothes? Cheapo supermarket sun cream has good protection but leaves yellow stains; the posh aerosols go on nicely, but only have 3-star UV-A protection.

What happened?

Just my missing delivery. That's one of the photos the guy left. I was going to case the nearby streets looking for the car.

Situation: Drive side of a square taper bottom bracket will not budge. I've tried a bit of GT85 round the threads and used a massive breaker bar + old seat post extension to get loads of leverage, still nada.

Questions:
a) Could pouring a more specific "penetrating oil" down the seat tube towards the BB threads help?
b) Whats the best penetrating oil? Plus Gas seems to come reccomended
c) Any other tips? Heat? How much? I dont want to muck up the paint if possible

Thanks!

Cartridge or cup n' cone BB? If the latter, you could do something like hacksaw (stopping short of the BB threads) a notch and then crush it with a vice or something. Sounds fun.

Cartridge.

Sounds fun

It's been a blast so far. Looking forward to my next battle. I'd love to meet the nob who put it in. Who has the tools to change a BB but no fucking grease!

Take it to a garage and borrow their impact driver?

Edit: Providing your bb tool can be fit with a socket or some kind of drill fitting

Possible solution. Looking forward to them kicking the tyres and sucking their breath between clenched teeth.

Did you try jamming the BB tool in a vice and trying to rotate the whole bike?
