  Arrived at my parent’s house to this treat. Quite small and not too rich which means 4 or 5 can go down without a second thought.

  Ha! I also got a weird skewer and many useless bolts.

  I’m my experience anything over 35mm tyres and mudguards is going to cause issues with mini v calipers.

• Rear v brake and flat bar lever

  in Wanted Adverts • 6 days, 11 hours

  

  I received this in a bag of SJS workshop sweepings, looks brand new but is untested.

  I’m not sure if it’s a v-brake or mini v?

  If it looks good I can drop it in the post tomorrow or Tuesday.

  Such sad news, RIP Hayley - I’m going to miss reading her thoughts, both the serious and the funny ones were some of the top posts on this place.

  My thoughts to those who were close and her family.

  This is a favourite - seems a bit early for sprouts in our closest Asda though, £1 for 200g. The recipe also works with savoy cabbage while you wait for the sprout price to come down .

  Dynax s50 is the one

  I have a 80% full can of this - the 360 nozzle got broken so I DIY'd it by melting the end of the tube then poking holes in the sides with a pin.

  Thanks for the west London cafe recommendations, some to add to my list for when I’m occasionally over that way.

  Special Guests Christmas beans at £77 for 100g 🫠, not sure I trust myself brewing those…

  Any recommendations for a cafe near Victoria / Kensington? Google is saying Caravan and Amar Cafe.

• Your touring/bikepacking setup

  Looks amazing, I’m dreaming of being back on the trail.

  I think chilaquiles are about the only veggie option we found in restaurants - otherwise eggs/rice/beans. I’m sure you’ve had your fair share packet frijoles with tortillas by now, pretty much the perfect bikepacking food.

  If you go to a Ley supermarket they usually have soy chorizo and sometimes tofu.

  Food gets much better once you hit the mainland - look out for gorditas de nopal (masa pouch stuffed with cactus leaves).
