Berlin functional. Too cool for this thread?

Anybody got a Garmin Fenix for sale, perchance?

So cross at Altra for this shoddy quality. This pair of shoes is like 350km-young, in really good nick – aside from this catastrophic structural blowout, which causes blisters in addition to being shit.

Submitted a warranty claim to the German seller (Bergfreunde), paid back in full a week later. Success!

Anybody looking for a Woom size 2, lila colour? We want to upgrade to size 3. I’ll price to sell!

So am I, if possible second half of the month so school holidays don’t get in the way

945 non-LTE doesn’t have Training Readiness and Race Calendar, does it?

CROW Cyclery are lovely folks, all of them. They rent, as do quite a few shops, through the Listnride platform – here's their online shop: https://www.listnride.com/users/33944

I had one, with Schwalbe G-Ones and Supernova dynamo lights, which ran beautifully through the rear rack with integrated fender which I immediately removed when I got it. Frame was on the stiff side, but I found it fun to get up little bumps in the road as it would be easy to give it a kick.

FYI, I swapped it for a Midnight Special. Purely for looks and favouring steel, mind.

I'm confident it would have made a lovely commuter indeed. You see a lot of them about here in Berlin – the home of practical and functional.

Nice words – and a name check for the work of someone on here – about the first VPC: https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/the-vpc-type-37hw

“The Type 37HW feels like a highly evolved field watch crossed with something from the more simple side of Grand Seiko. Comfort is excellent, legibility is great, and anything you can touch or manipulate feels very high quality. It's dressy but not fussy or needlessly fancy.”

(Of course, it includes a gratuitous reference to a vintage car)

Awful to hear. Hope they’re ok 🤞

I have a soft spot for those. Thinking about upgrading our Kangoo mk1 for a Caddy this gen with modern bits in. But their value remains high here in Germany. You just see them everywhere!

Have we guessed or has @Dammit revealed the mystery vehicle choice?

Which generation?

Most long-time VeloViewer Explorer Tile tickers will at some point come across this scenario where their recording cuts across the edge of a tile but VeloViewer isn’t showing that tile as ticked (…)

Is now much improved, by moving to 6 decimal places for lat/lon coordinates and looking at intersections with missing tiles less than 5 seconds or 100 meters apart, apparently: https://blog.veloviewer.com/update-to-detailed-veloviewer-explorer-tile-ticking/

Would you care to share a few pictures doing the dial justice? I'm tempted to DM @ejay2.0 to snap it up.

ICYMI, we’re 22 hours into the Barkley Marathons 2024, the top ~7 are out on loop three — that includes Jasmin Paris.

Ah sorry, i meant to ask if it’s possible to just purchase one with a different case treatment. I’ve opened their website now and seems there’s a public release for some of them — whereas the ones you have are military issue, is that right?

Woof very appealing, these. Am personally not sure about the black case coating… how tough is it getting a hold of one?

me this summer
thanks all for your tips and knowledge

"Probably" as in the shop looked at it for a few hours, and decided to follow the leak with a trace. Now they need the car back to see where the leak is. But as you say the costs could just add up.

The AC worked fine when I got the car, but it sits unused for 4-6 weeks at a time. After say 3 months, stopped being cold out of the AC when turning it on.

I def will be driving it around this summer, and will need some AC to cool down the little one at the back at the very minimum.

So, my Kangoo mk1 probably has a leak in the AC system. The shop put a gas trace in the system, but they're quoting me two more appointments, and that doesn't include the cost of the repair yet.

I've not tinkered with cars at all yet, so pardon my ignorance – should I take my chances at putting a trace / finding the source myself? Should I give myself my system a top up of AC gas every other month and not bother doing the whole investigation? Can I even perform these operations without too much specific gear?

Realistically, I won't be keeping the car very long.
