    Nice! That's a good idea.

    With my build I went with VO mudguards under the misapprehension that they had a channel for dynamo cable. In the end I did similar to you, except we used a bead of silicone sealant to embed the cable, instead of tape.

    And the fork clearly has canti mounts but there's a dual pivot caliper brake floating about somewhere...

    Seems calculated to annoy.

    This is normal hippo behaviour. It's a sign of submission for them to flick poop onto the dominant hippo in the area.

    Just wanted to let you guys know that my kids finished their fundraising cycling challenge last weekend. A few of you were so kind as to sponsor them, for which I am very grateful! They did their last 10 or so miles by climbing up to Kenwood House and then descending to the finish line at Regent's Park, Inner Circle. They have raised £800 for Palestine Children's Relief Fund - a sum wildly beyond any of our expectations. Thank you!

    It's also conflating decolonial with anti-colonial.

    Sadly the latter, it appears.

    The one with a planetary gearing looks really good. Got my Dad a cheaper version for Christmas, since anything will be better than the way he looks after kitchen knives at the moment. The main thing that kept me from getting him a basic Horl was that the guide with a 15° angle option (typical for Japanese knives like the ones I gave him last year) is only available on the more expensive models, whereas on the cheaper one I found, the guide has 4 different angle options.

    They have to un-learn stuff. It's like a sort of wilful delusion.

    Never an opportunity missed, eh?
