Play loads of em?

I always thoughts there should be a snare subscription that will send you one a month, brass, maple, birch etc. different depths and heads.
Let you play about and find a new sound.

Any pics of the drivetrain?

Fucking love this bike.
Built it just before I had kids, rode it a little bit and then left it standing for a few years while I chased really small people around parks and museums.
Have a new commute and have rewoven biking into my days and absolutely fucking loving it again.

The only part of the build I regret is the rims. Lovely Chris Kings hubs and I should have gone either open pros or hunt rims not this shitty budget halfway house. I think they are DT Swiss or something.
And the puffy tape I have to have because my wrist is made of metal, but other than that... it gets an 8.5 out of 10 from me.

I also saw a geezer playing Pokémon Go while huffing a nitrous balloon driving a white van at 30mph through Brockley... no lie.

I once saw a woman driving round New Cross gyratory with two big dogs on her lap.
She was taking pieces of packet ham and dangling them out of her mouth for the dogs to eat... While driving

My workplace has a new policy that says if you want to get into the underground cycle parking you must be wearing Hi Viz. .
I have tried to tell them to stick it up their arse but that didn't work, so does anyone have one of them hi viz reflective bag covers they want to get rid of?

Who's got the latest on cycling jeans?
Any opinions or links to share ?

After absolutely cunting it twice on Victoria station concourse in my road shoes, I need to switch to MTB cleats so I can trot about a bit more comfortably on my cycle>train>cycle commute.

I have the shoes, just need a pair of Shimano 520 pedals or similar.

Does anyone have a pair of decent nick 520's they want to sell me, preferably in silver?

What do you reckon the Max. tyre clearance would be on this?

Hario / Rapha venn is real.
This is not a MECE list

I have to disagree.
Bell tents are an absolute nonsense.
Hideously heavy
Terrible waterproofing.
Bright as fuck and hot AF as soon as dawn breaks.
Only space for one person to stand up at a time, and when you stand up you are fighting with a pole.

If car camping I would go for a Coleman weathermaster 4

The only consideration with air tents is the bulk and weight.
Having 3 to 6 great big plastic inner tubes considerably increases pack size and weight.

I would go for this, which is lush and black out but packs down small.
You really don't need inflatable until you get to 6 man size I reckon

In that case find a Life Strategy fund or Target Retirement fund that aligns with your risk appetite, set up a standing order and sit back.

Nutmeg referral here for you.
6 months no fees.

I have both
I think in general my Target Retirement and Life Strategy Equity funds with Vanguard perform better than my risk appetite 8 managed fund with Nutmeg and the fees are a lot lower, but the Vanguard UI and product experience is so bad it's hard to be sure.

That is really really shitty

What size is it?
And what kind of tyre clearances will you get?

Thank you
I'd probs need a 54 Diverge though

Complete preferred to open to F&F

I have just moved out of London to near the South Downs and am fixing for something more gravel-y so I can manage the shitty road surface and make the most of the paths and what not.

Does anyone have a 54 or 55cm gravel bike they are looking to move on?

They had an album/track called Drive By
that I went absolutely potty for in the early 00s.
Absolutely perfect for post midnight, mildly blunted design work.

I love this thing.
Almost the perfect London commuter

I've been enjoying Benji B's weekly show, if you enjoy the Gilles and Jams end of the 6Music offer.

I think he's 1Extra.

I rarely turn on the radio these days and just select some recent from a nice list of people and shows I follow on the app
