Before I go and bother the lovely folk at Brixton Cycles with this again, any reason a tube with a slow puncture would not show bubbles under water? The last two attempts the tube has just gone down but there's no holes. Even did the valve up tightly. Can only imagine the tube isn't liking the pressure...

I've only actually ridden them once, haven't managed to sustain a puncture-free 30 minutes after installing tube and tyre. Onto the sixth try now.

Tried again this morning with lubed beading, no pinching and 80psi. After 15 minutes, the tube had popped again. No idea why, I've replaced the rim tape and the inside is free from sharp edges, but something is upsetting the tube. I want to send them back, of course, but bought from Wiggle on eBay and reckon they'd just not bother accepting the return.

When I first fit the tube and tyre, I hand-pumped it up and it rode fine. Will give 80 a try, thanks m'lord!

I work in the offices opposite so had free pizza when they opened. Toppings are nice but it’s a crispy base which I don’t like, personally. Waiting staff are annoying as hell, trying to be your friend. Distressed interior too, just paint the bloody walls.

I done fluffed up. I thought 100-120 was standard?

Please teach me the ways, o wise ones!

Yeah, I've been wondering whether the pressure gauge on my pump is a bit dodgy, but the front wheel has been pumped to the same pressure (both 110) and it's held fine.

What width rim tape did you get?

I’ve been having the same issue with this wheelset and fit some 16mm tape this evening, which held fine for an hour or so and then then tube popped again. I’m really losing my patience!

I find myself shoulder-checking while stepping sideways on paths, these days!

It's especially good for fridge-bottom dinners, when you can make decent soft tacos from all your leftover vegetables and don't need to head out for anything. You can make a dough and press them within about 10 minutes. Get a 12-inch press if you want to make big tortillas for fajitas/burritos/enchiladas!

I bought a taco press on eBay for £6 last year and haven't looked back. Bag of maize flour is about £2 and does many portions. Would recommend!

Canova Hall can do one.

+1rep, that is good.

Wasn't sure where to place this but Lambeth is consulting on its proposed Healthy Routes (developed with TfL) and is inviting comment. A healthy route would be a road adapted for the benefit of walking and/or cycling, 'for example, separate space for cycling and better pavements and crossings may be needed on a busy road, while traffic may need to be reduced on streets around schools.'

It comes down to how 'London' has been defined throughout the ages. Throughout history, when people mentioned London they were always referring to the City of London, and anything outside of the city walls was an additional enclave. It's around 1889 that Greater London and the Metropolitan Board of Works become a thing – later developing into Greater London boroughs – but London is still just the City.

As the population of the boroughs grow and local government changes, what is technically Greater London is often referred to as simply 'London', therefore why it's confusing that the West End (the western-most edge of the City) appears in the middle of 'London'.

Shorthand for 'I hope someone else will need this and help us pay for dev time'

Could be the one, cheers!

Cheers folks, I've always had the chamber inverted but steeped the coffee in all the water for no more than a minute. I've been doing it all wrong. Will try these tomorrow and report back.

Thanks!

Anyone got a bulletproof Aeropress method? I'm not doing these YBCR beans any justice.

Would buy!

2xAA batteries for power? Really?

That's a good shout!

Anyone in need of a photo enlarger and developing/printing kit? I’ve got a working Meopta Axomat 4a listed on eBay - not listed the rest yet - but would happily cut a deal for anyone here who’s looking to take the next step up.

Used it myself for caffenol projects but moved house and don’t have a dark-room any more. PM me!
