  Yeah that one doesn’t look quite as nice think it’s got to do with how rectangular it is, and those extra spars down the centre. I’m probably not going to be carrying anything on it, so purely for roll ability and looks in my use case..

  So that’s not the one with the rear light bracket you can attach?
  Sjs do this one,

  Which has the bracket so would probably go with that one. I’ve got some wooden mudguards I want to install so would swap those in if/when I purchased..

  Aluminium or titanium?

  Yeah that’s a nice low profile one. Have no idea why they haven’t machined it with some holes so you can attach a Dynamo light to it.
  Meh!

  If it doubles overnight, when you get to it in the morning it’ll still be good to make dough with. Once you open the lid on your jar (as long as lid is airtight) you’ll see it deflate and start to shrink back. But it’s still fine, if you’re looking for peak rise and when the starter is the most active it may be an issue, but if you just want to bake with it, it’ll be fine..

  No after you feed it it needs to be out on the counter top. Cold slows down the reaction , heat speeds it up..

  If you don’t have any invest in a couple of Kilner jars
  Like these or slightly larger

  If you’re using it everyday, and feeding it everyday you can usually keep it out on a counter top in the kitchen, if not and say you’re using it once a week or so, put bulk of starter in fridge, then take out a couple of spoonfuls into new jar, add water and flour and let it double in size, if it doesn’t, discard most of what’s in new jar and do it again, until it does,
  Well that’s what I do anyway, and I occasionally refresh/feed the main starter so it doesn’t totally die off., but it mostly lives in the fridge..

  That depends, on how active it is. Depending on how much you’ve got, take two tablespoons worth and put into another jar, add 50g of water to it, mix together and then add 75g of flour (I usually use strong white) mix it until it’s kind of gloopy and stretchy, not too liquidy, then put lid on and leave overnight. Make a mark on jar where it was when you finished mixing, and if it’s active it should double in size overnight. If it doesn’t do that, using this jar repeat process, discard most of that starter and repeat the adding water and flour and leaving overnight until it is doubling or more in size..
  This also depends on the warmth of the room it’s left in, so a slightly warmer room will help.
