We've been idly looking for flats to buy over the last 6 months or so but without any sense or urgency. Mainly just looking at rightmove to see if anything stands out.

This week we went to see a place for the first time and...really liked it. Is it insane to put an offer in on the first place you actually go and visit?

I'm a little bit worried that we could miss out on this place and then spend the next 6 months going to see places, then realise the first place we saw was perfect!

Thanks. Good to know that the fees aren’t miles off from doing things separately.

The main hassle I was imagining avoiding was identifying solicitors/surveyors etc and engaging them at the right time.

If we end up using them I’ll post my experience.

Has anybody ever used a service like Habito Plus? We're about to go through the process of buying somewhere for the first time and are completely clueless so the idea of somebody else orchestrating the moving parts is pretty appealing.

My assumption is that it will end up being more expensive than organising everything separately, but might be less hassle.

Are you still taking orders? The rack bags a few pages back look really nice.

I've started getting beans from Carnival in Penge and have been really impressed. The beans are really nice and they always seems to get delivered same day by bike (SE23).

Anybody else tried them?

What is the “correct” trajectory for a good rider?
It seems like people complain when riders go from being average to winning races or when they start winning races as soon as they enter the WT.

Thanks both.
I tightened it down pretty tight but don't have a torque wrench so can't confirm numbers. I'd estimate it's about as tight as the old one was.

I'm now trying to decide whether it's better to leave it on or try and take it off to inspect the damage

I cross threaded a cassette lock ring when I was fitting a new cassette last night. I managed to get it off then reseated it square. It seems like it's tightening down OK now.

I'm assuming that this will probably be OK but I should probably replace the freehub body the next time I need to replace the cassette.

Am I wrong? Will I immediately crash and injure myself if I ride it?

Very hopeful 3rd dibs.
In peckham too so would be an easy rendezvous 😎

Hopeful 2nd dibs!

You will certainly be fine without chain tugs.

Waiting at the lights at the top of rye lane just before 8, if I'm not mistaken 🤔

@T4NY4 in peckham this morning 👋

I have one of these these in black I would part with for £30, including all original packaging/cable. Doesn't look anything like as ridiculous as the one above! Does idle alerts, apparently, though I never used those.

Your band tracks both your active and idle time, providing a complete view of your daily movement. The Idle Alert feature was designed to keep you active during the workweek—Monday through Friday—by sending a gentle vibration to your tracker whenever you’re idle for the period of time you specify.

Immigration, which unless you see it first hand is hard to comprehend

Do you mean people are more likely to be anti-immigration if they see it first hand or pro?

Tempted by the ergos, what colour are they?

Had no idea about that, thanks for the info.

Why do you say this?
I don't know much about Planet X, genuinely curious.

This is still available. It's a really great bag!

Pictures don't seem to work :-(

Thanks @Cranky, @M_V. Dropped everything off at Seabass earlier, sure they'll make the right decision.

I look forward to some fixed BCC Club Runs!

The bearings in my Rear hub started offering a frankly terrifying range of sounds/lateral movement on my ride today, so I presume I'll have to replace the bearings.

There seems to be a lot of information about replacing other variants ( a[1], b[2], c[3] ) but nothing about the Mono.
Is it basically the same? Is it completely different and so intensely difficult that it isn't advised? Any ideas a shop should charge for this?
Lots of questions.

I just grabbed a pompino frame in the sale. Does anybody know whether I'll need to chase the bb threads/cut the crown race before installing bb/headset respectively? Assuming I will.
