Just bought a Cameron hot smoker. Anyone know where you can get wood chips for it? Several online places but choice is limited.

I have just read all 29 pages on this thread. It’s been a huge help. Thanks GA2G and everybody else.

Earlier this week I ordered my first new bike, a Bianchi Pista steel, and I ordered the Fahg to secure it. Currently, to secure my beater I’ve been naively using a Series 2 Kryptolock and cable. Having read this thread – I think I’ll bin that lock.

I’m pleased I went for the Fahg (I’ll use “the edscoble method”) but I've since learnt that I’ll need a secondary u-lock from another brand, accompanied by an alarm lock.

As a secondary lock I’m thinking of going for the 23cm Abus Granit X-Plus 54. I know it'll be a pretty heavy pair weighing just over 4kg but I think I’d rather that than something smaller and croppable like the Mini Evo. The Abus should provide a little more convenience than the Fahg too.

Would anyone recommend an alternative setup to accompany my Fahg?

I use a hiplok with my fahg mini tucked in it. Heavy as fuck but at least it's around the hips and not in my bag. Works for me, might work for you too, but you do risk hipster related derision.

Becuase seeing folk that don't appear to have made the same kind of emotional and time based investment in something that you really give a shit about, as you have, and they appear to be piss poor comedic caricatures of you, and they behave in ways that potentially reflect poorly on you (to the untrained eye) there is something that inevitably irks you otherwise I'd question how much of a shit you gave in the first place.

Summed it up nicely

^ I knew photographers are often intimate with their clients but that's something else.

repped

Read mine in a Wilbur Smith novel years ago, apparently it's the word for storm in zulu. Anyone speak zulu?

Not a first choice team to be sure but they didn't respect their opposition and were made to look like numpties because of it

He was also wearing a full lycra getup on a full sus DH bike about 30 miles from the nearest trails - nice.

Talk about an identity crisis

Flying down the A3 past Kingston Uni yesterday evening bloke maybe wearing a forum cap. Gone pretty quick so I didn't get a proper look.

Stumbled across this blog earlier. Some really interesting shots.

Added first miles today. Who knew being a champion was so easy.

Time for a beer. Beer is, after all, the breakfast of champions.

I like the dedication to the cause shown here.

The motorist passing the other cyclist is legally obliged to yield to you and pull back behind the other cyclist until you have passed and then complete the pass if safe to do so.

So the law is on your side if you hold you line or even move out. Might not save you or the other cyclist from a trip to A&E though. So I reckon its totally situation dependent. I tend to slow down first and move into the door zone if I have to.

Went to [st]an[/st]The Indian the other night where they stocked this:

Decent stuff. Goes well with the spices.

Had some of that on tap on Friday night. Was really disappointed as it didn't taste anywhere near as good as when I'd had it before from a bottle.

Just got back from a trip to Northern California. Seems like every decent size town there has a (micro)brewery. Apart from the ubiquitous Sierra Nevada and Anchor Steam Beer, I got into a few from the Stone Brewing Co.
Oaked Arrogant Bastard Ale 7.2%
my personal favourite the Sublimely Self Righteous Ale 8.7%
and Ruination IPA 7.7%

Bit of a theme there

Is an alarmed disc lock for your chainring really essential in London?

Also, anyone know anywhere doing the fagh mini cheap at the minute?

Best I've found is fatbirds £56.99 with free postage.

Nice spot. Got one.

And for price, Evans will price match any that you can verify, and may be more convenient, than having it posted. I think the price you found is the best at the moment.

The guy behind the counter looked gutted at giving up almost 40 quid. Cheers for the tip.
