The 2012 rMBP can only run a 4k display at 30 Hz, which is not great. Plus to get a "retina" experience on a 27 inch display, you really need 5k resolution.

I think you need a new(er) computer to get what you want.

I'm assuming they work by altering the distance of permanent magnets away from the flywheel. I'm pretty sure that's how my panic-bought Elite Zumo does - you can sometimes hear the motor whirring when it changes.

So if you unplug it the motor will stay in the same place and you still have resistance. Maybe there are some that do it eletromagnetically instead.

I'd expect fluid and magnetic resistance units to stay at the same resistance setting when you disconnect power, so you ought to be able to continue using them as a dumb trainer.

I doubt manufacturers encourage using them like this though.

There are a few new parcel post boxes around London now. Mostly central. Only smaller parcels though.

If you go to a Post Office with self-service machines the "host" can normally deal with prepaid packages without you joining the main queue.

Targeting individual parents probably doesn't work. The better answer is School Streets, which Lewisham seems to be thinking about.

(the even better answer is 24/7 road closures and massively reduced car use, but not gonna happen in Lewisham)

Brompton rims are 349 mm, common 20 inch rims are 406 mm, so the difference is nearer two inches than four.

I suspect being able to run fat tyres is a bigger deal than the diameter.

The gaps are not the same. 3.74 vs 3.95 mm steps.

A 4700 shifter (uniquely) will make an 11 speed mech work with a 10 speed cassette, because its shift steps are specifically designed for it.

The dangly part should be horizontal and point inwards towards the hinge with the big spring on it. You can see the clean face from the other half of the break behind the moving part in your video.

Bad luck.

Consider one of those rechargeable electric pumps - they’re about 30 quid on eBay.

I’m reasonably happy with mine. Inflates a road bike tyre to 100 psi in about a minute.

I found this.

My understanding is the banjo connector only comes preinstalled from Shimano. If you swapped the calliper for one that takes a straight connector you/your LBS would have no problem making up a longer hose.

(Also, have you spoken to the bike manufacturer?)

Broadly speaking, all pedals use the same (imperial) thread size, so anything you buy should fit.

(Some older French bikes have metric pedal threads, which are almost but not quite the same as the imperial size, but that’s probably not something you need to worry about encountering)

What proportion of the sprocket is the chain wrapped round? If it’s only engaging a few teeth it can easy I’ll jump. Fiddling with chain length and derailleur b screw can fix this.

It can also be caused by a worn chain. How many miles does it have on it?

Has one of the joints seized? Lube it up while wiggling the joints. You may need to take it to bits or use brute force to unseize it.

There’s a free app called Coconut Battery that’ll tell whether your battery is knackered or not.

Apple basically broke everything else when they bolted on Apple Music to the existing services, and have no incentive to ever fix it. The only solution is a time machine AFAICT.

If you have enough disk space on your devices, syncing your library over USB still worked last time I tried it.

That’s a 12 inch PowerBook G4. I think they all PB G4s used exactly the same plug, so anything from that era (or a modern third party one) will work.

Yes, if you reassign the buttons from either a Windows PC via the USB charger, or a phone and the Bluetooth dongle.

That’ll work, assumkng you have the shifters with two Di2 ports (RS785s don’t).

For 1x you can run everything directly to a 3 port junction if you don’t connect a left shifter.

How about the Transatlantic Way rules:

All riders must take a mandatory continuous 3 hour stop in every 24 hour period. Excluding two 24hr periods not back to back
i.e. You can ride through two nights of your choice.

The Apple refurb store is a good place to find upgraded spec configs (e.g. larger SSDs) that don’t exist in other channels.

I’d be pretty suspicious of stuff about these other sellers, whoever they might be. Apple is pretty strict about who they sell new stuff through, and are a big target for fraud and scams.

Surely 1/32 is 32 threads-per-inch? Although that doesn’t seem to be commonly combined with 1/8” diameter.

The output voltage of the hub is dependent on the load. It means roughly “6 volts when 3 watts of load are attached”. With nothing attached it’s normal to see very high voltages - sometimes 3 figures!

If I were troubleshooting the next thing I’d do is try to power the light off an external/bench power supply. If you’ve got anything in the house that outputs 5 or 6 volts regulated DC try touching the wires to that.

(Not for more than a few seconds as DC can overheat components designed for AC)

Says it looks like crash mode but it won't seem to come out of it

Crash protection isn't an electronic "mode" but a spring loaded breakaway connection between the cage and the servo. When the connection is released you should be able to push the cage sideways easily (with the back wheel off). When it lines back up with the slot on the motor shaft it'll drop back in and be stiff again.

If the cage doesn't move freely it's not crash protection.

Essentially iCloud (on Apple’s servers) becomes your master library and your device is just a local cache for browsing, including thumbnails of everything, and it downloads the hi res versions as necessary. I find it works pretty well.

I have an “iProPower” from Amazon and it seems to be decent capacity and my house hasn’t burnt down.

I briefly tried a “Lenoge” also from Amazon and a couple of quid less and it was shite that held even less charge than the old one it replaced.
