  Not sure if it makes it better or worse, but Sean’s kid worked in a store for quite a while at one stage. I imagine he never escaped.

  I picked up some of these before my last trip - they worked really well, I’m going to get another pair or two

  Just had a go - the operator stuck to the script without flinching 😔
  I bet they raked it in that weekend, all the out-of-londons with old bikes haha

  I forgot about ULEZ when I went to the Bike Shed Show😩
  there's no get-out-of-jail[£80]-free for this is there?

  Harley are also doing the "buy a bike, we'll fund your test" thing, if you fancy a bike that requires imperial tools and nobody wants to fix – that's a bit like having an old bike?

  I've got one, though still haven't got round to fitting. @thanksbye has fitted his, and I believe it doesn't have a capacitor which is a bit shitty

  That maxalami one looks identical to the Giant branded one I have, if that adds availability and convenience for anyone

  Considering yeah, but I nearly committed several murders putting some decking together this weekend so I’m not sure it’s in everyone’s best interest

  Dull post alert – instead of following my shed-shaped dreams, we're going to replace our 7'x5' shiplap summer house (that is more patch repairs than shed) with something vaguely similar. Does anyone have any recommendations or warnings when it comes to buying a fairly standard shed?

  Would be nice to keep it under £400 as the existing one isn't on a proper base so going to be investing $$$ and my spine in a gravel and slab set-up.

  What sort of problems happen? I've recently built a 24h SON hub, but ran out of tubeless tape and haven't fitted it to anything yet
