Interesting - so does it basically make the steering slightly stiffer in the first part of the handlebar turn? I can see how that might help with steering control on technical terrain.

After getting home and having a look, the rubber strips that came with the roof bars are like this so can't be pushed down like the BMW video suggests. I'll need to find another solution!

Can anyone advise on how to extend my WiFi coverage into the garden?
We have an Eero gateway plugged into the router in the hallway, which gives decent coverage for the the whole house. Then an Eero extender in the BBQ hut (15m from the back wall and just over 20m away from the gateway) which gets a medium signal, not very strong but it works.
I tried putting another extender in the barn which is another 20m from the first extender (40ish metres from the gateway) but that didn't work. I seem to recall reading that Eero networks have a limit of 100ft from the gateway...

This wasn't obvious from the Thule instructions! Thanks again and looking forward to peaceful bike carrying (after I've driven home from Wales whistling all the way).

Oh, I see. BMW YouTube video confirms. That's really helpful, thanks.

Thought that might be it, thanks, will cover the slots. I wanted to leave the rubber strips intact to reinstall when I remove the bike rack, but I'll come up with something. Will probably just have to put up with it for the drive back home from Wales!

And yes "audible feedback as to speed" is definitely a feature I now have, arguably more effective than average speed check cameras.

Whistling roof rack question. I've just installed some roof bars, supposedly aerodynamic profile. They have a rubber strip covering the central slot. I removed the strip to fit a Thule 598 bike carrier. With the bike carrier installed there is quite a noticeable whistle when driving over 50ish mph.

Did I do something wrong or is this just normal? Obviously the car's aerodynamics are affected by the bars and rack (and the bike on top) but it's a bit annoying.

I'm wondering if I should have cut down the rubber strip to cover the parts of the slot on either side of the Thule mounting points?

Oh thanks - we have plenty of ladybirds, I'll see if they'd like to relocate to the aphid tree.

@Eejit thanks also, yes they do seem to be farming, hopefully ladybirds + tape will do the trick.

Any recommendations for how to deal with (what appears to be) aphids on my pear tree?

Same here, I think you have to get a bit lucky on purple.

I feel like 1 on red is possible too, with the right bounce and a bit of luck.

If your dad is sole legal owner you'll need something to show your mum is able to transfer the legal title - i.e. the grant of probate, probably.
You'll need a solicitor to deal with the sale so probably best to direct these questions to them ASAP so they can have a proper look at the title and tell you what needs to be done.
Probate can take a long time...

Just used your referral code, thanks!

I'm in 2 minds about removing the wasp nest (assuming that is what it is). It's not in the house, and not causing any issues - so might not be such a bad thing to just let them live there for the summer?

Is this a wasp nest? It's quite small, about the size of a golf ball...

I'd imagine a Bedgebury red is probably like a BPW blue.
Like eskay says I can't imagine anyone will stop you riding whatever you fancy, they all start at the same place. Personally I've never done the green but it's probably fun to start on, then progress to blues if you fancy it.
4 hours is plenty of time to get a few runs in but you'll probably want to come back for more!

Not me - what's the race?
I'm doing Pedalhounds enduro at Canada Heights tomorrow, first race of the season with zero prep and zero training will be fun.

I think that's pretty standard. Ours offered to do it for 0.9% because we bought through them previously.

What a bargain, surely someone needs this.

Wobbly and twisty are not good things for a projector, I've learned.

Thanks, this was helpful because I didn't know my projector had a central hole for mounting - it was hidden by a sticker. I've now ordered something similar to this which I think will work much better than my terrible initial bodge attempt.

Thanks all, I think a deeper shelf attached with hinges might work, the proper mount looks like the sturdiest solution but this is a mini projector so doesn't have screw holes for a mount (and I'm trying to keep it as close as possible to the ceiling due to low head height).
