  I believe it has been mentioned on here before - and generally you need special reinforcement in carbon forks to accommodate racks. I may be wrong though, and those forks (having owned a single cross) are extremely burly

  Just so you know, those mounts on the side of the tricross fork aren't designed to be used with a rack. I'd avoid loading it up too much, as the fork might fail

  Dredge of minor length, but did you ever sell that Tascam?

  I took the coach up when I did it - you have to have your bike in a bag (but any cheap old thing will do). The coach is far less comfortable, but may be an option if you're stuck

  I'm looking for some advice - I'm making a replacement lampshade, and I need two flat, round hoops.

  I bought some 2.5mm wire and started making some hoops, but I'm now encountering the unsurprising issue of struggling to get it flat and round.

  Does anyone have any hacks for doing something like this, or is it just going to be the tedious job of bend, check against template, bend back, swear, check again, etc?

  I'd check on sportpursuit, there's always a bunch available and I got a merino one a few years ago I essentially live in.

  It has gone a bit baggy, but it's worth it for me, and it'll take more time to thread my sewing machine then it would to put a line of stitches in to tighten it up. Next winter I will also get a fleece one for a bit more warmth when it's properly arctic out...

  Cheers! I've remembered I'm an idiot and I think I already have a 9 speed derailleur on there, and I think those bars might be a bit extreme for me, but thanks

  I distributed the affected plants throughout the house, let the topsoil dry out significantly and watered them by shoving a funnel into the soil and trying to water a few inches down, and then covering it with soil again.... It still took about 3-4 months to get rid of them
