Arrived at my parent’s house to this treat. Quite small and not too rich which means 4 or 5 can go down without a second thought.

Ha! I also got a weird skewer and many useless bolts.

I’m my experience anything over 35mm tyres and mudguards is going to cause issues with mini v calipers.

I received this in a bag of SJS workshop sweepings, looks brand new but is untested.

I’m not sure if it’s a v-brake or mini v?

If it looks good I can drop it in the post tomorrow or Tuesday.

If you need it modelled in CAD let me know.

Such sad news, RIP Hayley - I’m going to miss reading her thoughts, both the serious and the funny ones were some of the top posts on this place.

My thoughts to those who were close and her family.

This is a favourite - seems a bit early for sprouts in our closest Asda though, £1 for 200g. The recipe also works with savoy cabbage while you wait for the sprout price to come down .

Dynax s50 is the one

I have a 80% full can of this - the 360 nozzle got broken so I DIY'd it by melting the end of the tube then poking holes in the sides with a pin.

Thanks for the west London cafe recommendations, some to add to my list for when I’m occasionally over that way.

Special Guests Christmas beans at £77 for 100g 🫠, not sure I trust myself brewing those…

Any recommendations for a cafe near Victoria / Kensington? Google is saying Caravan and Amar Cafe.

Looks amazing, I’m dreaming of being back on the trail.

I think chilaquiles are about the only veggie option we found in restaurants - otherwise eggs/rice/beans. I’m sure you’ve had your fair share packet frijoles with tortillas by now, pretty much the perfect bikepacking food.

If you go to a Ley supermarket they usually have soy chorizo and sometimes tofu.

Food gets much better once you hit the mainland - look out for gorditas de nopal (masa pouch stuffed with cactus leaves).

thanks, I'll do some reading

I really need to learn the notation properly, pausing and rewinding youtube videos isn't going to work if there are a bunch of new algorithms to learn.

I got a 1:40 solve earlier, I’m not sure I enjoy the pressure of a ticking stopwatch though. Movements I can normally do smoothly and fairly fast all go to shit when timed and I find myself moving other faces of the cube accidentally.

First solve from memory completed! (using the beginner method)

None of the written/pictorial guides were making any sense, I was feeling very stupid. Found a JPerm tutorial on youtube and it all started slotting in to place. I can do the first 2 layers without trying to hard then the last layer needs some concentration.

Dredge - from @mashton ‘s recommendation in another thread I just bought a cube (pre lubed 😳 because why not).

Hoping it will help me kick my terrible Instagram scrolling habit.

Any interest for £30?

Either will work for 3 months. From my anecdotal evidence (and being a Copperspur owner) the Hubba hubba is more durable than Big Agnes offerings.

SlingFin are a more durable and weatherproof, or Hilleberg if you want maximum durability and strength (but with a big weight and cost penalty).

I'm also a SLMS member, I just got inducted on the MIG welder and I'd like to make some racks/bag supports. I've got some experience turning simple parts so should be able to make bosses/mounts on the lathe and mill if needed. No designs yet so this is all theoretical at the moment.

the content I live for, thanks @Hulsroy

the bending / grinding fixture where you can feed in a full length of stock is chef's kiss

Navy Carhartt Ranger jacket, worn but in good condition. A little bit of fading to the neck trim but the main cordura fabric all looks great.

Pit to pit measurement is 54cm/21”

It’s quite bulky so I’d prefer not to post.

£40 collected from SE8, no problem to try it on before buying.

Thanks all, I’m really pleased with how it all came together and it rides exactly as I’d hoped. I keep on staring at it hung up on the storage hook and thinking about the next ride I can go on.

New bars feel great, not a million miles from the loop bars but I think I like them at least as much. Visually I think they look great and I’m really in to the silver.

For touring I’ll get some inner barends, I just need a little perch rather than a big fixed horn like the Crazy Bars.

These angled grips from drj0n look interesting.

Trying out some new bars - Velo Orange Seine.

I think Ronnie Romance regularly uses bars with a 26mm clamp diameter (in a 25.4mm stem) then adds the flare by bending the bars between two pieces of wood in a vice - he shows the method in several of his youtube videos.

Ah, I didn’t even look at the location, assumed that kind of thing would be sold locally.

I’ve sourced stainless spacers from UK based eBay sellers before but never threaded.

How’s this?

Fusion is definitely more product/object focussed but I use it for interior work.

I like it because you can produce visuals, do layout work and also make shop drawings all in one package.

It’s definitely not perfect but with a few tricks you can do lots with it.
