No problem. Couldn’t find the comparison thing on the site t googled for it,
https://www.dcrainmaker.com/product-comparison-calculator?type=watch&ids=132250#results

There’s a section for how it does for each of a few sports and under cycling it says it’s compatible with sensors.

Pretty sure you will be able to, I can to my much cheaper Instinct.

DC Rainmaker has good reviews and a handy comparison tool for most Garmin products.

Yeah.

I've booked overnight coach travel to/from.

I know there are quite a few forumers living in Glasgow/Edinburgh now so if any of you are thinking about heading down we could discuss travel here.

I have a ‘buy the forum a beer’ set up for £4 a month, would definitely be up for increasing that or going quarterly if it’ll help.

I'm off that weekend so will be looking to organise travelling down for the party, anyone else from these ends fancy it?

Not a clue where we are with numbering but I'm off the weekend of this so will be doing my best to be there.

Two colours, no wonder it was £31!

The rest is just general spending for a family of 3. I just put almost all of my spending on a credit card where possible (for cashback/points/etc).

Noob question but, why?

I get rewards on my current account/debit card, are you getting much better rewards doing it your way?

I haven’t seen a £31 Friday 13th flash day in a couple of years and never a £13 in london(maybe I’m too young)…

Haha I was totally kidding about inflation but £31 number thirteens were actually a thing?!

I mean, it was a looong time ago I got mine and it is horrendously bad so…

You're supposed to pay it off straight away.

You’re supposed to pay your credit card off right away…

A number 13 for £13 on Friday the 13th is/was a common tattoo shop promo. It’s probably a number 30 for £30 on Friday the 30th due to inflation now!

Anywhere that’s done that would have an idea of how many they could get through in a day.

I’d maybe handpoke one on myself. Tombstone being my vote.

Isn’t that supposedly someone importants?

Edit: it’s absolutely anti porn though!

I got to have mine at home and bring it in ‘carried in an inside pocket to keep it warm’ after my snip.

I’ve never spent long enough in hospital to have just had one for the fun of it.

There are some good points about replaceable batteries v sealed units but having just looked for a head torch which street mostly replaceable battery I found it’s really frustrating shopping experience.

You have to price up light plus battery, and often, plus charger.

Different lights using the same battery means run time changes as you change the light. Lots of brands have proprietary batteries and even batteries that are proprietary to models within the same brand. One brand sells their batteries and chargers separately, another bundles those two items together and yet another bundles it all with the light.

Bike lights are much easier to shop for

I considered the Gamma over the Lambda because of the pins but yeah, not sure of the looks. I have several sets of the Nukeproof plastic ones and think I’ll just go with them for my build. While they are way too modern they are fairly slim so suit the svelteness of the rest of the bike and dark coloured so won’t stick out too much I hope. Plus, you can’t see them while you’re riding and neither can anyone else really.

I put XC iii on my recent Rockhopper project, really an esthetician driven choice. They seem fairly grippy but definitely not on the level of the Nukeproofs so it’ll be interesting to see how they do once I get the chance to do some off roading on that bike and feet are all wet and muddy etc.

Was thinking about Gordito for my latest project (1950s 3speed Flying scot) but the amount of grip they’d offer concerned me. They don’t look great.

Edit: I mean aesthetically they do look great, right on the money but grip wise they don’t look great.

it's her personal PayPal account

Can absolutely accept goods and services payments to a personal account.

There are calculators to work out how much extra you’d have to send to cover the fees if you wanted to be nice but it kinda sounds like the seller is pretty much running a business but trying to avoid the fees that would come with a business account or goods and services payments so I dunno that I’d be so nice.

I still need the rest of the crankset though. I'm trying to find 73mm (non-Boost) 165mm long (haha) 1x cranks.

I have some Zee cranks in 165mm, I've seen other pairs knocking around on ebay since buying mine.

I also have a Deore crankset on another bike that was direct mount but I put a cheap spider on instead. The Deore cranks are always showing up cheap.

There’s definitely 142 qr.

Other way round isn't it? 2x DS (one being the potential chain guide), 1x NDS.

Yes.

Absolutely gutted that this seems to be the end of times.

Haven’t read every page but have spotted a few people trying to convince @Velocio to go back on closing the forum and that’s not really kosher in my book.

I’d guess that the amount of time Velocio has put into reading and understanding the legislation is an order of magnitude more than any of us have and if that’s the decision, as absolutely heartbreaking as it is, I support it.

It does looks similar to the sonder one, but i prefer the plain look of the kasai

Thanks!

Did you end up using the dmr bolt i sold you a while back for anything?

Yeah I like that it’s just completely plain black.

Not yet, but I will. I was after it for the bb shell, bearings and the bit of the swings that wraps around that stuff to make the pivot so I have harvested that out of it and I think I’m going to build a full sus bmx with it. Getting a suitable fork is proving difficult though.

I just put a Kasai boost dynamo on my Spa Rove.

I've had a few dynamo hubs over the years, never done any maintenance on any of them so user servicability doesn't worry me too much!

Suspect the Kasai and the Sonder are exactly the same hub, wouldn't be surprised if the only differences to the SP were cosmetic too.

I really don’t get why people lay out custom frame money (custom fork money is even more as fork parts are considerably more expensive than frame parts) then be like, “That cheapest possible finish that they put on garden gates, that has no anti corrosive properties at all, that’s what I want”?!
