Have a look at Decathlon’s offerings, they often do decent stuff at decent prices.

Yes please. Will DM when j get out of this meeting (30mjns).

Loads of potential, especially if it’s a 1st person tycoon type game.

Work hard and get more customers, leading to a long queue outside the shop? Hire an assistant! Choose from Paul the Old Pro Mechanic £20/hr, Ginny the Generally OK Mechanic £13/hr, or Larry the Learner with no Experience £7/hr. Watch the consequences unfold.

Could get extra interesting if bike brands could trial out accessories and product designs, see if people like them enough to buy/sell on the game. If it somehow becomes collaborative, with people visiting other shops, players could get a small revenue stream if they run a good shop that brands want to showcase their stuff in. Eventually, doing virtual mechanics will make more ££ than physical spannering.

Might want to remove that info from public view.

Is the Scirocco wheelset gone? Interested if not. How’s the brake track btw? can’t quite tell from pics.

Anyone catch the RAF exercise over Norfolk coast today? They cleared the seas and sky for it, and two fighters (F-35 maybe?) were dogfighting over land for a good while.

I’d like the stove please. Is the Deda stem available? I’d take it too.

Yes.

Edit -
Not sure what happened to my post.
This has been the most fun I’ve had in a long time.

Seen on a stakeholder’s zoom. They’re a department head at an industry-leading, multi-billion £ company that often deals with oil and gas.

Refreshing to see a bike shop speaking their mind online. Shame for their loss of business tho.

Might look like this or a bit more discreet, but you should see it clearly if it’s there. If it’s dirty inside the freehub clear it out really well, and look out for two dots or holes in lieu of the larger eyes seen on the circlip pictures below.

Putting it back in is easier than getting it out.

Hi, sent you a PM a few days ago about the wheels and groupo you may be splitting from the Cinelli you are/were selling.

Cheers, undibsd, have a free bump.

I think some people overestimate what your man in the street knows about these right wing idioms and icons. Same with the carpenter tv show or whatever it was not so long ago, most people have no idea about most of this shit.

Have a sibling whose initials are HH, like our very much not Aryan dad. Guess what year he was born in?

You mean you aren't buying the dip?

Is it possible?

What a ride. Really hope some definitive answers come out, but I guess that's wishful thinking.

One definitive answer from all this: retail investors can get fucked over in broad daylight and it will all be brushed aside.

I presume this is to elevate the freehub so the bearing actually comes out so I'm not just bashing it into the table. Will need to take it slow.

Just thought of something important, feel feee to ignore if you already know this, but some free hubs have a C clip holding in the deepest bearing. You’ll want to punch out the most outboard bearing first, remove any spacers, and see if there’s a clip.

Doesn’t look too bad but, as with all advice in the forum, it’s all at the user’s risk.

If you don’t have a disc rotor straightener, you can use an adjustable wrench and a thin bit of wood (like an ice lolly stick) to straighten that rim. If at home, I would use a hair drier to heat that section up a tad, then set the stick along the outside of the rim, and use the wrench to apply gentle firm pressure to centre of the dent to straighten it out. Be aware that the stick is there to prevent the wrench from touching and digging into the outside of your rim, and you’ll want to keep an eye on it. There’s also a chance that the wrench might scratch the top edge of the rim, but you can use another lolly stick to prevent that.

Secondarily. My main concern would be misjudging the force transferred to the outer edge of the freehub when hammering a seized bearing. The threaded edge isn’t that thick nor that tough, and I’ve broken a chunk off of a stubborn freehub before by hammering with it positioned against an anvil instead of, eg, a bit of wood that it could dig into.

When you knock the bearings out, use wd40 and put the freehub on a piece of sacrificial wood or cardboard rather than on metal. Go slow, because if you whack at it hard you might break or damage the freehub body. Good tips above about using the old bearing to press in the new ones.

Pic of the rim?

Undibs chainset.

Paint it

It’s already painted, with a paint that I don’t think I can easily acquire.

I want to protect a nice new steel frame. Should I get a roll of helicopter tape or is a kit the better option?

At worst I'm down £9.99 for the one month of PLUS upgrade I needed in order to be able to trade GME.

They refunded my Jan payment because of it. Worth asking if they didn’t proactively do yours.

Revolut has the meme stox, a quicker tracker, and I like the layout more. Takes a few minutes to set up. Also your trade money is held in USD so no faffing around with the exchange on the fly. This is not advice.
