Something carbon.

Plenty of relatively elegant options without an On-One scaffold 5-piece.

Mercedes will want their two regular drivers in Berlin for the triple-double header starting Wednesday so they won't want Stoffel risking injury.

Ferrari won't release Vettel early.

Guttierez has experience testing/siming "similar hardware", but Hulk has more recent F1 race experience.

Also probably not busy: Karun Chandhok, Button, Johnny Herbert, Lord Mahaveer (No superlicense though).

Zero arch support either.

Was ordering some stuff from Wiggle and thought I'd check for heavily discounted spared and parts that might come in handy.

Got two sets of these: https://www.wiggle.co.uk/clarks-replacement-pads-shimano-xtr-1

On arrival I realised my £3 pads weren't standalone pads, they're refills for these £7 items: https://www.wiggle.co.uk/clarks-finned-disc-pads-shimano-xtr

My current plan is to find some worn-out Shimano J-series finned pads I've got lying around and see if the total thickness of these refills plus Shimano's finned parts add up to a somewhere close to the thickness of a fresh Shimano G-series finless pad.

Bone conduction?

I've used grease in the past, but then the wheels I've built were mostly for bike polo hence getting regular attention.

I think the change is that MOTs due by some date in August or later would no longer be extended. I haven't read anything suggesting previous extensions would be revoked.

Depends on the wind farm but they are on private land so not accessible.

The access roads for the wind farm Northeast of the A680 between Edenfield and Wolstenholme connect to Rossendale Way, but they're a bit dead-endy, or link to unridable footpaths.

Rad though. The to the north of the windfarm, Rossendale Way/Pennine Bridleway go through Lee Quarry bikepark.

I’m thinking to cut a hole in the shelf above in order to pour water in from above - is that stupid?

I'd be tempted to mount a sheet of wood onto drawer sliders on top of the worktop, so you can pull the setup out when you need to access the reservoir, and won't risk flooding that cupboard if you miss the spout, or having the water drip onto electrical items after the flood.

The more elegant version would be making that section of the worktop slide out, but that depends on the construction of the cabinets below, and what else is on the worktop out of shot.

I'm trying to give the additional weight minimal lateral movement throughout the pedal stroke, since the light bike moves under the overwhelming mass of the rider.

Inside the seatpost to minimize impact on the movement of the bike while pedalling, an easy to swap in an unballasted seatpost later rather than faffing about removing glue.

No, for carrying many kids bikes and an adult bike to teach humans how to ride.

Facebook often takes down unredacted screenshots on the basis that it can be a form of harassment. Could also be the start of harassment if some troll tracks down the account and leads a pile-on.

Is there a build thread for this?

Soon... GF's gone on a mission to get some marine ply. Decided to go for the almost-cheap option first in case we want to cut slots into it or whatever, then get the better more spendy surface once it's finalised.

Almost finished, build thread when it's done.

Technically there shouldn't be movement there anyway, but maybe they wanted some plastic between the metals like Shimano HT2 BBs, avoids galvanic corrosion with alu spindles.

Yeah like 28.9 or something, but why

Using a bearing with a 30mm ID without having the inner race being naked against the axle?

https://twitter.com/PhinHarper/status/1283728670604042240?s=19

It's just under 30mm and asymmetrical.

I remember years ago when that meme didn't have a red squiggle around the funny part.

Yep, about 3 months late.

Your trip to morzine, did you book it through a biking specific company or just diy own flights and accommodation etc?

He's driving there.

isn't cruise control bad for fuel economy runs?

In a set-and-forget sense, yes, but you can use the +/- adjust to rein it in uphill or take advantage of descents. My main complaint about cruise is the lack of adjustment of how hard it accelerates when you hit restore.

Next 3 squarey rides would probably have been the routes round Widnes (21mi), Runcorn (23mi), and Leyland (26mi)

They weren't. Intended to do it last week, but got scuppered by a dead Di2 battery. Sunday I decided to do it on my fatbike instead: Bolton -> Sale -> Hazel Grove -> Middlewood -> Disley -> Marple Bridge -> Bredbury -> Droylesden -> MCR -> Bolton. Some of the paths were muddy so I was glad I wasn't on slicks, but it was still hard work.

62 miles, 5h33 moving time, avg 11.2mph. This covered a load of tiles at the southeast of my square so now a few rides near Littleborough, Oldham and Warrington should take me from 24x24 to 27x27.
