I've never had it updated. Would I not get that multi-gear change thing where you can hold the lever down for 3 / 4 shifts at once, or does that not work on 6770?

Ah great, thank you

I have a full 6770 Di2 groupset at the moment (bought here a long time ago!). Would changing the junction box from SM-EW67A-E to a EW90 3-Port junction allow me to charge the (external) battery using usb without removing it from the bike? Would I just need the junction and two wires to go to the brake levers. I assume I'll need to update the firmware as well? Have I missed anything?

Question about cutting tiles: If I just need to make some tiles slightly smaller (about 3mm horizontally and vertically), would I use a tile nipper or a proper tile cutter?

Yes, for sure. Even stranger is the Labour transport councillor is now blaming the idea on the Greens so that he can argue the case for the mythical underground network https://www.bristol247.com/opinion/your-say/delivering-change-bristol-requires-politicians-bold/

@chris0 It's closed between Mina Rd and Muller Rd as they're building a new train station there. The detour is pretty shit - I think it goes via Boiling Wells Lane. Also closed between Constable Rd and Bonnington Walk, need to use Wordsworth Rd instead

No idea about the Kasai, but the PD-8 is £54 on spa (Silver, 32 or 36H). Just get that instead?

Looks like there's a notch on that collar where the tap comes out, can you undo that?

The A4 consulataion is still live (closing date 1st Oct). Worth looking at, as it involves building a new road where the old railway was (Brislington Greenway, where there was hope of a new bike path similar to the Bristol-Bath one). Bristol cycling campaign have tentitively supported it, more info here: https://www.bristolcycling.org.uk/chairmans-statement-a4-consultation-brislington-greenway/

worth looking at the ao outlet ebay store, sometimes theyt have bargains / have priced them incorrectly

Haha, yeah. But actually the earliest I could go now is the beginning of Nov, so may be a bit cold

Maybe my searching skills aren't up to scratch, but has anyone done a circular tour around Santander or Bilbao? Thinking of getting the ferry down for a week or so if anyone has any tips

Drop to £180

My dream of learning how to wheelie is officially dead, so I am selling this. I bought it in 2007ish, used it for a couple of years, and then it has spent the best part of 13 years following me around and living in various sheds (always inside), not being used at all. A couple of years ago I put some Clarks M2 disc brakes on. These have probably done under 5 miles in total.

I don't know anything about mountain bikes, but here are some specs:

• DMR Trailstar MK1 frame
  
• Marzocchi Dirt Jumper II forks
  
• Clarks M2 Disc Brakes
  
• Shimano Deore LX rear deraileur
  
• DMR crankset
  
• DMR V8 pedals
  
• Kenda Kiniption tyres
  
• Flux saddle
  
• some classic late 00's stickers and MBUK chain slap cover thing
  
  

A couple of points of note:

• Slight play in the crankset
  
• Rear disc brake lever has a lot of movement in it (I haven't bothered trying to adjust it)
  
  

I have no idea how much this is worth. How about £200 --> £180 --> £160 --> £150 --> £140 --> £130. Collection only Bristol.

I took the eurostar a couple of weeks ago and there was a guy there was a bike bag, carrying it onto the train (on the London end). No idea how he got it through security, maybe now they're all employed by Serco or Mitie they don't care? Bit of a risk though

I got Paul levers from this seller. Seem pretty well made, although I imagine levers are easier than actual brakes to make. Probably the best knock-offs I've got from ali though - even came in a Paul branded box...

I've found no issues with getting bikes on trains in the last couple of years, maybe post-covid no body seems to care anymore? Can't remember the last time I've been asked about reservations (this is mainly with Transport for Wales, GWR and Crosscountry, and a little bit of LNER). GWR always have a couple of spots that you can't reserve. If they're full, there's sometimes some luggage racks in the vestibule that you can fit your bke under (depending on the train). Otherwise just get on and stay with your bike in the vestibule - bit of a faff standing up for the journey but I've never been told to get off by the guard.

Sold, nice to meet you @t.o.

Someone messaged just before you, so they have first dibs. I will let you know if it falls through

This one: https://www.bikester.co.uk/red-cycling-products-bike-box-ii-bike-case-M128648.html

Only used for one trip in 2018, and it's been taking up space in the spare bedroom ever since. Come with all the usual bobbins but not wheel bags (I just wrapped my wheels in some clothes).

£120? Collection only Bristol BS5

just a warning, I think those white ones are like a wierd shiny reflective white thing (its hard to explain). You can kindof see it in the main picture. I got the same ones a few months ago and had to send them back

I suppose it depends how you define 'worth it'. I have the Vent Axia Svara, which seems to work quite well. Can set night time hours where it only runs on a trickle, or set it so that it only turns on after x mins of the light being on (in addition to humistat). This video's quite a good explanation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvSE9aAmeGk

Yeah, first year undergrad I reckon

It's crazy that it's legal to have such a large touchscreen in a car, what a huge distraction. I assume you can't use it whilst moving (?), but still, what's wrong with tactile buttons?
