Oh yeah, I should probably pay more attention to who I’m replying to…

Heal up, and we can get some riding in the Fall.

I'm back in order and off restrictions in a couple weeks. Getting this thing back in order as well. When is the group ride?

Did you make a thing that widens the kick stand also? I would for the inevitable moments it is imbalanced while parked.

No offense but always seemed like a netherworld of hobbies to me. I loved RC stuff when I was a kid, but was more into gliders, fast buggies and dabbled in planes.

Yeah I have a pretty good padded case for the MacBook, just wondering whether I'd fit the laptop, shoes and clothes into one 20l back roller.

No definitely not comfortably. Maybe a 11 inch iPad. Use two panniers. It's not worth even thinking about. There's enough to worry about when commuting especially in the colder months. You want some wiggle room when packing.

The gravel packs are nice.

I use the roller and the gravel packs on a daily basis. Roller are much easier to open and close and - although the gravel are great and lighter - I consider the rollers to be marginally superior because of ease of closing.

Just seen this out in the wild, looks neat

As said, a stretch. Good effort though just limited in utility.

Remove the switch. Or make it inaccessible.

Moved into an old house that needs lots of love. We're into it. At the bottom of the long list is the landscaping.... Anyway can I move this ill-placed rose bush? Or will it croak? Probably croak.

Needs a rack

Great otherwise I'd use swept MTB risers.

That's an incredibly esoteric build, but it work's so well. Amazing how good that fork still looks. I've never riden one. Always was curious.

Decluttering the shed I found this which I haven't ridden in years! Pump the tires up and we're good to go.

Exactly how often I ride mine as well. With exactly the same level of excitement.

Removed the cable to save weight.

Didn't get a golf R

Anyone know of a steel pour over carafe? The bit that collects the actual beverage. I keep breaking our glass chemex.

Lol yeah we'll see about that part. I spent time in the new GTI and it's totally fine. Nice in fact. But first let's suppose it's as terrible as everyone says...

...name an alternative?

My mk6 2011 GTI blew the master cylinder for the clutch. Between that, the headliner falling down and the stuck e-brake cable, I figured time to give it up.

Down payment on a 2024 blue golf R with the 6MT placed.

Now to wait until September.

Check for cracks..

I knows. I grew up riding CT singletrack every day.

We are somewhat settled in up here in Portsmouth, but it's been a hectic summer and the house wants (doesn't need) more work than we are good for.

A rather frustrating set back is that I've developed an inguinal hernia which has limited my activities and as after next week requires a month of rest.

Managed to put together the start to a shop in the basement.

Overshare

Possible moped or ruckus parts could be helpful. The problem is that the payload over the front wheel is anywhere from 30lbs to 200lbs depending on what's in the box.

Mostly though it's a non-existent problem.

Also the argument that kids need it is such bunk. My kid thinks riding cobbles or gravel paths is hilarious.

We fly off curbs with two kids in the ebullitt "hang on tight. It's a big one!". Kids don't care one bit as and the ebullitt is completely indestructible.

I've been shit talking suspension on cargo bikes since day one.

That said, they could make a very simple spring fork with two stages of spring similar to how leaf springs are stacked in a truck.

I'd put a squishy fork on it and swept lower bars and ride er through rocky crap. Looks great.

Shower tiled. Grout tomorrow.

All of the walls on the second floor are getting a little treatment as well. It's two big rooms and one small one. Wall paper couldn't be pulled from the horsehair plaster, so we're left to 1/8th drywall over the surface. A little disappointed, but the trim is very deep and results seem acceptable. Alternatively could have pulled all the trim and rebuilt it but this is 95% perfect and much much much less expensive.

This will be the floors.

Dry wall going up in the third floor conversion.
