These guys were getting some attention in Stainless Steel Chainrings thread here https://www.bikepunx.com/5x130-bcd-chainrings-194-c.asp

Where can I buy a well-priced box of small rubber cement tubes? I’m putting cycle themed Easter baskets together for 20 friends and family, and paying £50 just for glue is a bit dear.

Seller of my cleats has sold >400 sets

As mentioned elsewhere, some UK retailers are resorting to buying sold out stock online at RRP to retain business. Hopefully the word will spread quick about potential fakes...

From the article:

An aspiration for the UK to be a “soft power superpower” with praise for the BBC as “the most trusted broadcaster worldwide” despite Downing Street boycotting the broadcaster last year. The British monarchy is also cited as contributing.

They’re doing a fine job of destroying the BBC’s and the UK Govt’s credibility abroad. I wonder if they’re delusional or just failing to read the signs.

Isn’t the submarine fleet the main platform for the nuclear deterrent? There’s 4 of them, and I doubt they’ve remodelled the interiors to hold an extra 20 nukes a piece.

BBC being ageist. This is the pic I posted previously from their report about his hospitalisation.

Possibly not the best year to ask but how’s living in Madrid?

I can smell that Disney book.

Homemade Baileys for breakfast then.

Me encanta saber de cerveza.

Usar saber puede ser tricky. Aquí, tú dices que te interesa saber información sobre la cerveza: su historia, sus variedades, etc.

El sabor = the taste, y deriva del verbo saber:

Yo sé (usualmente con ‘a’ = like. Por ejemplo, yo sé a mango, dame un beso.) (Si te parece raro que no se dice ‘sepo’, no eres el único)
Tu sabes
El sabe
Ellos saben

That. Thank you.

The visual effect on Klein paint jobs, is it called ‘fade’?

Cheers, that’s very helpful thank you.

But the royals do attract bizarre levels of worship.

The Sovereign is the head of the CoE, so worship is an accurate word for all sorts of reasons. People are programmed from birth to value and protect certain things, and for much of the English population the monarchy is one of those things.

Avoid saying this, either disabled or not.

Mind if I ask why? I’ve also heard if used, and I thought it was the inclusive term to use.

On the subject of cables, I took a punt on some generic eBay cables that feel more like wire rope. I’m wondering if I should sand down the exterior, it’s not at all smooth like the stuff from established providers.

Ah thanks I’m not sure why I worded my post like that but I didn’t expect you to know if my random retailer was legit, ha. Thanks for answering tho, and yep that looks like the same housing I bought. Again the lettering is slightly sus but might be legit, and the housing seems legit quality.

-to add Fibrax make good stuff. They’re a UK brand, and I swear by their aero levers.

Oh "to know"?

Sí.

and I also found out that "yo se" is "to know"

You’re close, it’s I know. Saber is to know. Comprender and entender are slightly easier to conjugate because saber is irregular:

I know - yo comprendo - yo entiendo - yo sé
You know - tú comprendes, entiendes, sabes
He/she/it knows - el/ella comprende, entiende, sabe
They know - ellos/ellas comprenden, entienden, saben

*linguistic tidbit- ‘you’ is the formal version of ‘thou’. So while Spanish uses tú informally and Usted formally, modern English only uses the formal, contrary to popular belief.

A red bicycle because it's the fastest colour?

Bravo.

jagwire on ebay is cheap too

Found a retailer going 5m Fibrax 5mm brake outer for £6. The lettering is chalky white rather than crisply embossed. Works well enough but I’m still not sure they’re legit fibrax, which I remember as having silver embossing like most other brands. Is that right?

Yo he escuchado que a las llantas sin cámara les dicen tubeless. No recuerdo haber escuchado que les digan ‘sin cámara’, pero quizás sí se emplee.

tengo una ponchadura / un pinchazo’?

Es correcto.

La bicla puede tener un pinchazo, tú puedes tener un pinchazo, ¡todos podemos tener un pinchazo!

Brakes - Frenos
Disc “ - “ de disco
Disc rotor - balata
Brake pads - pastillas de freno
(Component) Wear - desgaste
Adjustment - ajuste

Loose bearing - balín
Grease - grasa

Edité el post para incluir pinchazo. 👍
