Knowsley Safari Park limits my westward expansion, I'm pretty sure it entirely encloses at least one square.

Citroen e-Berlingo is quite nice.

Been off Twitter for a month. Bluesky much more enjoyable.

This reminds me they still owe me a Thomson saddle rail clamp. Had to chase them to get them to send the stuff they did have in stock because their delivery of Thomson stuff was incomplete, then the next delivery was 1 clamp and I'd ordered two. It's about 9 weeks since the original order.

Probably the same as the Planet X ones, but they've paid a little more to have their logo stamped into them.

I only know one Dennis, so sounds likely.

Don't know if he was, but that's Dennis, Manchester fixie rider who's moved into the countryside. Per the ad "I live halfway up a massive hill now".

Likewise. Mostly I use a router bit in a pillar drill with the feed locked - not entirely safe, but I'm more comfortable knowing the tool is fixed to the bench.

Most pillar drills have a Jacobs chuck in a morse taper, often without a drawbar, so the lateral forces and vibrations from an interrupted cut can unseat the chuck from the spindle.

You can get a router lift kit to mount a 1/4" trim router into your work surface. Attached example.

"sleek Surly frame"

I think not.

A bunch of people were present on both BS and Twitter but having different conversations on each, now people are using their BS presences more.

Consciously decided to stop scrolling Twitter a week ago, now only have it in case of DMs/notifications, got a schoolfriend who's extremely online on Twitter who also posts his stuff on FB, but I try to avoid arguing the toss about US politics etc on FB.

maybe thats why its heavily reduced.

Mate, stop trying to win at forum.

Yeah their website didn't list any so it would be in the dusty workshop drawer if they have them. The wheel is going in a Raleigh Bomber that has a retro AlansBMX sticker on it.

I've just built a wheel using a NOS Shimano CB-E110 hub that is missing its nuts. From Shimano's exploded view diagrams I know it's a 3/8" axle, and the part number for the nuts is Y28615000. From googling I've found that this axle has 24tpi threads while pretty much every other hub with a 3/8" axle uses 26tpi.

Nowhere I'm familiar with has Y28615000 in stock, and I'd rather the fancy nuts with a captive spinning flange.

Where has nice 3/8" 24tpi wheel nuts?

A few years ago I got a Decathlon-boxed X10EL for £5 less than the usual price for a KMC-boxed X10 not-EL. It was a pleasant surprise and not in stock when I went back the following month.

Is it unlocked, or did you buy it on a network?

Did the very British live TV thing, swearing and immediately apologising.

Some car journalists decided about 16 years ago to parody 24h Le Mans by organising multi-class endurance races for $500 cars. Safety equipment is budget exempt. Themes and fancy dress are encouraged. Good themes get you some leeway on budget penalties (normally -1 lap per $10 over), the best themes get a pass, as do cars they love to see, like korean luxury cars, old and rare stuff, stupid engine swaps.

Their youtube channel has race reports and features about prominent teams, storied car models etc.

That was/is a 24 Hours of Lemons race car by a team including Ethan Tufts (aka Hello Road). He's come out as an anti-car car-enthusiast.

Don't you just load thumbnails when there's "many" attachments? If you're really loading the full image, can we have some js enhancement so we're not opening a new tab to view them?

Went to add Safety Dance to the spotify playlist for tomorrow (now today actually)'s Sheffield polo tournament. Someone else already added it.

Among the songs I added earlier: Ring My Bell by Anita Ward, Mirror in the Bathroom by The Beat, Help The Aged by Pulp and Manic Street Preachers' Miss Europa Disco Dancer (which has epic guitar and bass riffs and also a refrain of "Braindead motherfuckers" in the outro) and their cover of We Are All Bourgeois Now. Good bit of variety.

Is the same event celebrated outside of China and its diasporas?
