There was always a bit of crossover, events, rides, but I guess Mellow Jonny's had their own kit, and they did do this via custom (think there might have been more).

Yeah, was fascinating to see the iceberg coming. I think the collection launched a few weeks before the official report came out, by which time it had sold out.

Think the Five Decades T was closest it got in 2012 - and there was a ‘Texan’ story label in a jersey

Guess the components are so good value, it’s better to send both than deal with returns for the different frames?

I’m about to replace a long overdue sleeve this weekend, will let you know if I uncork a wide-awake-nightmare

....Yes! Definitely on the list - for Dischargefest certainly, but aiming to do this beforehand to see how much the sauce affects the flavour, and if it's even necessary.

Including it was part of effort to make it more savoury and less sugary, and I have a feeling it's not needed ...however, I listened to a podcast years ago about the origins of ketchup thousands of years ago, where it contained fish sauce, which gave it the sweet, salt, spicy, sour, and umami flavour profile. Including all these tastes is one of the reasons ketchup is so ubiquitous and irresistible to some.

(Also have massive concerns about allergies, but I'm labelling stuff ALL ALLERGIES)

^as a bit of explainer on the labels,
-I made the Steamboat Willy batch on the day the copyright expired. The concept of a 95 year old mouse was rattling round my brain all day
-The Minimal b/w one is when I had zero time - it was simply the quickest to weed and apply
-The middle red one, was around Saturnalia (mid-winter),
-And then the inverted cross was made on Easter Sunday

I've had a terrible time with aphids last few summers so gave up growing :( One of the last things I did was used all my hottest chilli's - Carolina Reaper, Big Mustard, Habanero, and a few others - I made a daft-hot chilli jam, which got christened Devil's Discharge. I actually entered a jar of this into the Dog & Bell competition ('22 I think), but it was too crowded to stick around and see how much people enjoyed it. I didn't place anywhere.

...Although I stopped growing, I kept making, using Ugandan Scotch Bonnets from the market. I tweaked the recipe to add more earthy fullness (herbs and beetroot), and knocked back the sweetness, into more of a ketchup(*?). The heat is down to an acceptable level, still packs a nice flare but with tonnes of flavour - I also do a Double Discharge which is up there

The scale escalated, where I'm now making 20 jars at a time, and having a bit of fun with making themed labels for each batch, and it's getting a bit of a following. ...to the point where Dischargefest will take place on Saturday 31st August, Little Faith, Deptford.

Morning will be a ride into Kent, finishing at Little Faith for coffee/food, and segway into afternoon/evening of music, capsaicin, hopefully a tap takeover (TBC), food etc. Going to be lashings of Discharge to taste, eat, and takeaway. My plan isn't to sell this filth, but accept voluntary donations for a project I'm setting up at HHV.

If anyone would like a taste, I've got a few jars - and will be brewing up in near future - and give us a follow on @Devils_Discharge for more details on Dischargefest

*aiming for an all-round condiment with a bit of body, rather than a relish/jam/sauce. Also has fish sauce, like the origins of ketchup.

@user67526 did you get to the bottom of this? either DM me details, or email customer services - be intrigued to know what has gone on here

@ElGonzo always a pleasure, cheers for coming to HHV to pickup your bibs. @ojwithbits next planned one is June 5th, and I think we'll be doing a musette making workshop. Details on HHV and Albion Burner IG nearer the date (signup will be required, with a small donation to HHV). Will be doing repairs again later this summer ...plus another central London event in June tbc

@Rusty_Nail I did try some under (non-windproof) winter tights, on the thighs, and as described, there was v little effect. Because the insulation got compressed, it didn't really merit the effort - I think if they were on the 'outside', allowing a bit of puff, you'd get the insulation effect you're after ...I'd presume same with shoes/overshoes as people describe

@RonnieOatmilk cheers for posting, love it, use mine daily.

Daytripping! I'd love to do some more, different colours, bear with me!

...and yeah! @cozzzzzzzz I actually need one for the big rack on my city bike. The spaced out wide rails do my nut some days. I'll jump on that other thread when I have a sec...

Great to hear, cheers. Having no experience of e-motors and gauge of the figures, I was presuming I'd need to go for a high-powered one, but thats reassuring to know.

The reality is it will be for 10km max, and boosting at lights and assistance on occasional hills, so emphasis on pedal assistance, not van-replacement-level power.

thanks Young_Gun - my head was thinking that (wallet less so), the bike & trailer on it's own is a lump, so erring on the side of power. Speed not important, but am guessing it goes hand-in-hand with the power?

Looking to buy a Bafang mid-drive to put onto a Surly Big Dummy + Ted trailer. Prob pulling 150kg max, hydraulic disc brakes if that makes a difference for the sensor thing.

Any advice/pointers - or is there an existing Bafang thread? - from folks who have bought/used them? Or where to order? Thanks in advance!

Great @ElGonzo see you in a bit, and nice one for bringing @Josh 's kit, appreciated!

And a heads up for Herne Hill tonight; free repairs, repair kits, heatpress reflective transfers - more info in stories here;

^sorry to read this (both), that does sounds weird - both mens sizes? I'll pass this on, personally (male, medium top, large leg) I've found sizing consistent with Rapha. That wind gilet does sound like an outlier, v intrigued.

And posting to say we'll be at Herne Hill Track League on evening of Wed 1st May, for (free) scrapes & tears repair workshop.

If you've got any garments/accessories that needs a stitch or two to keep it running, bring it down to the clubhouse. We'll also have repair patches to takeaway if you'd rather do it yourself, and new season. ....All brands welcome!

hi @mrJL ....I'm afraid not :(

Been trying to see if there's any with stores, only place I can find is Matthews Roadhouse in Seoul; https://smartstore.naver.com/nestindustries/products/8592810569 but looking into somewhere else in UK too

There’s a 10% forum code (I could dig out) which might lessen the blow, and/or if you know anyone in UK they might like to send it to you? :)

I bought it eBay 2nd-hand, have put some info and pics on the Trailer tread;
https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/324007/?offset=50

It's got an extension to the bed, which is ridiculously heavy - almost the weight of the whole bed - so think I'm going to replace with a wood frame instead.

I enjoy it so much, am considering getting hold of a Bill too, but will see how well I get on with a Big Dummy + Ted capacity wise first ...and length/turning circle....

Yes, I'm afraid (and ashamed) s0; if you select a location, prices are now show as landed, ie with all tariffs/taxes added, and avoids delays & additional charges at customer side. Pound is now mildly stronger which tacks a few euros on too.

It's a bottle opener, no?! :S

Or if anyone else is selling a Big Dummy L, XL, or similar longtail (Kona Ute?) in London, give me a shout.

thinking of selling my XL Surly Big Dummy

hi @Big_Nick I could possibly be in the market, if you wanted to send over details.
Am loving my Surly Ted (with extended bed), looking to upgrade what I'm hauling it with, and heard great things about Big Dummy.

Maybe of interest to some, new products in;

Ultralight Insulated Jacket now in a nice dark graphite

Lightweight luggage musette and backpack

Plus new colours for mens & womens Spring/Summer. Love this shoot in the Canary Islands, makes me want to get out and ride.

ah-ha, I think this is it; doing a quick comparison here, holding a mens XL Longsleeve over a mens Pertex XL Rainjacket, the Rainjacket it a fair bit bigger pit-to-pit than the jersey.

...let me check tomorrow for info on stock!
