[I am 198cm tall, the bath was 1800, but a smaller one without a hard ridge sticking into my back would also have been fine.]

You have to sit in them to know. I found if it had a convex curve at the lip where my back/shoulders/neck would go it was much more comfortable than if it the concave of the bath just turned 90 degrees to become the flat horizontal “top” if that makes any sense.

There were two German steel brands that had various models that did this - Bette and Kaldewei. Ended up buying something based on comfort which was nothing at all like I expected.

My experience of it so far has been much less positive. The app didn’t work properly, I have just found lots of “studying” I was supposed to do that wasn’t showing anywhere previously. The food logging thing wasn’t clear at all and now I can access it it isn’t as good as MFP.

I’m only 5 days in, but I have missed a lot, and so far find it to be a complete waste of money. Maybe when I get some results I will think differently, because I haven’t yet got to the stage where I am likely to see any value I suppose.

Very frustrating.

Don’t think so no

Yep. And then had to sell them due to moving employers to someone with a conflict of interest. I think I made £17.50 profit. Maybe

Cool thank you!

Well he’s your AI

I am finally wanting to get something up and running for my house. I googled / reddited and read a bit, but trust the forum > elsewhere. Why nextDNS and not quad9? Because we don’t know/trust who backs quad9?

Didn’t it used to tell you somewhere your member #? Was that before it moved to microcosm? I don’t remember. Anyway, I have lurked on and off for 15 years, and always wished I’d been more involved in the rides etc., but no longer in London :/

Velocity boy, no?

Progress photos, not full before and after. [edit to ID photos, which, tbh, don’t really highlight the HOURS of work I have put into this door and make it feel a little pointless :/]

Before - badly ronsealed [photo with black top and bottom]
Mid - sanded [palest wood colour]
After ish - two coats of light oak Sikkens stain, with a UV stain to go on top. [oranger than I would like]

I wanted to not darken it but the consensus seems to be that the darker the pigment the longer it will last, and I really don’t want to redo it any time soon. Now I need to choose handles.

It previously had only two 4” hinges, I am going to add at least another one, maybe another two. Does anyone have recommendations for “the best” brass (coloured) hinges?

Looks awesome, happy tandemming

Awesome! Looks great. Have you finished building it up yet?

Awesome. Funnily enough it is a tandem I want doing.

^interesting! What’s “keen”?

Wet. Only real advantage I can see to electric is it is cheaper. Wet should last longer as well I am told.

[edit: cheaper to install]

I am currently half way through doing this, sort of. I am retrofitting an oak door to replace a 30 year old upvc monster. My thoughts:

If you’re painting (not staining) it will be easy.
It will still take ages to sand, fill, re sand, etc. so you need to be patient, but it isn’t hard.
Dual action sander.
Restoring and refitting an existing door is going to be easier as it will fit the aperture.
Buying doorframes to fit both a door and an aperture is tricky, but they can be modified (I will have to do that) - sizing is unclear, places assume that you’ll magically know what is 1981mm and what is 782mm (or whatever - is it the size door that frame fits? Is it the size hole that frame fits into? Loads of websites don’t say).

I’ll post before and after photos when I finally finish

Ah good thinking, I hadn’t really thought of them from a tandem angle, thank you!

Lots on the tandem club -

Also - anyone know a bike shop with excelebt tandem knowledge anywhere between or around Bristol and London? Most of them seem to be in the midlands/north from google

Also, i have a stronglight triple on the tandem and have “dished” two outer chain rings somehow, such that the chain falls between the now expanded gap between big ring and the middle ring, not ideal. Any suggestions?

I have these on my surly and they’re great. Exactly the same, bar end shifter, brake lever only. V comfy and easy to change gear

Also a sizeable geeky a2 fraternity who wave at each other, which was excellent

These cars are brilliant, I had a 1.4. Tricky to put a bike rack on the back window (but not impossible) but you can fit 2 bikes + loads of luggage in it with the seats folded. I miss mine, it was excellent and so good fuel economy.
