So it's just reminding you that no one has told you those things? I would put a comma at the end of the first line just to make sure there's no misunderstanding.

LFGSS has been a near daily part of my life for 14 years. It pre-dates meeting my wife, getting my first job and eventually leaving London (and the UK). I have learned more from the people 'on here' than I did from university, and I feel grateful to have been able to contribute back to the community on occassion. I haven't met many of you in real life (except that one time @hippy appeared after I was punched in the face) but the familiarity built up through years of reading your posts is something I will miss greatly if it disappears. Thanks Velocio for everything you have done and continue to do. I hope there is a solution that allows LFGSS to continue in as similar a form as possible.

If I can offer sonething as a permanent resident of Switzerland (address, bank account…) I would gladly do so.

What are the chances this gets resolved before March 16th?

I think he was asking about that weird cactus, not the bike.

They are low end SRAM cranks, so quite heavy, but there's nothing 'wrong' with them. Is the price of a new BB more than the price of a replacement crankset and a new BB from a different standard? The good thing about those cranks is that they still use cheap and easily replaceable chainrings rather than direct mount.

If you can take some measurements of the old one then it should be a very simple part to model. I can't quite work out its function, is it just a low friction layer between the wood and the tuning peg? I would worry that a lot of 3D print materials would creep under constant force from string tension. I would happily make one from POM on a lathe if you get the dimensions.

I've made a shed base and wall, does that count? It wasn't easy even though the concrete was craned in.

DT Swiss now offering a SP hub with their stickers and straight pull spokes. I can see the appeal of matching hubs.

Friday 13th, everyone forgot to pin their numbers upside down.

It's an Exceed Frame, Grial handlebar and Orbea fork I think

I've had decent luck with UHU Porcelain
I haven't used it on anything that goes through the dishwasher though, mainly on serving dishes and tiles.

My 530 will no longer connect to my phone...

I managed once with using a hacksaw blade similar to the stuck seatpost removal technique.

We paid £65k all in for a end of terrace

If you want the full experience, have a look at his instagram. He’s completely unwilling to have a discussion with anyone he deems as less intelligent than himself. Even asking a question is not allowed unless you have a TED talk to back it up.

Having just started with home espresso, I can't comprehend how you can get a good shot first time with a different coffee every day. I just opened a new bag, and keeping the grind the same as I was reliably getting 25-28s shots before, I got a 15s shot this morning.
How can I try new coffee without repeatedly wasting 2-3 shots of every bag?

Sounds like you need a mid-heat hole switcher. I'm imagining a desktop miscroscope arrangment where you can spin the head of the steam wand and switch from 1-2-3-4 hole tips.

But was he wearing a Breitling? Or wielding a UBS credit card?

If you're planning for 50mm tyres, then 1x is a no brainer. I'm happy with XPLR for 90% of my riding. The only time XPLR is limiting is if you're riding in a group, sometimes the gaps in the gearing can mean you have to hold a slightly awkward cadence. Eagle with a MTB derailleur will great if you're Ultras with really challenging terrain.

No, it'll be fine. Shimano have the same advice but if you had to cut the olive off everytime you disconnected brakes then it would be a huge waste of hoses, and no one wants to charge a full hose replacement for swapping a lever.

They look pretty beefy. How would you seal the bottom? I would imagine you would need to find a good way to connect the different sections so they don't separate if roots are trying to push through.

Thanks! It did come with a funnel and a few cleaning bits.
I definitely need a knock box and a tamping mat.

I'm taking the plunge on a Barista Express. Any recommendations for accessories that will make my life easier / better tasting out of the box?

It looks like there's plenty of clearance to the chainstay, so you could have a look if someone has assembled a spacer where it isn't needed. Also worth double checking that the whole crank is assembled properly. I once fiddled about with a front mech for 10 mins before realising a wave washer was missing and the whole crank could slide around in the BB.
