My insoles definitely needed to be heated above 80-90c, so a boot dryer likely isn't hot enough. Also, even if they're hot, the insoles aren't going to deform unless something pushes them into a different shape

That sounds like new bike time

I understand now why I never got any in my orders

Sold.

I'm staying in a hotel at the moment

Glad I was late leaving work and missed this...

I did 21km on a MTB and I think I deserve a medal

Yep! Rode a lot quicker up and down than me yesterday

where was everyone actually riding?

To the cafe, if the queue was anything to go by

I had a blast at Peaslake yesterday! Got there after a terrible night's sleep, not ridden in a month, really not feeling it or the weather. But two trails in and found it super grippy, and even the sloppy bits were funny AF sliding round corners sideways. It was so busy there, honestly don't think I've seen it as busy even in summer, but weirdly hardly saw anyone once on the trails.
I concede, I did spend a lot of the day jealous of the other 99% of people on big e-bikes...

Have done the same. Got some mid top ones in a half size up for winter thick sock duties

If you can stomach giving Mike Ashley any money, there's some bonkers cheap FiveTens on here:

Maxxis Ikon or Vittoria Barzo are pretty good all-rounder all-conditions

Anything with Phil Atwill in it is excellent though, man has the best style

I had to pause it to see what they were on about. It's their lightening bolt logo painted badly four times in a circle, which some guy on PB sees as looking like a Nazi symbol but no-one else does at all

"Ryan Gigs"

Documentary series following the Welsh ex footballer as he goes on the road with his newly formed rock band.

Would anyone be more interested in these if I put an airspring in them? Would be about £30 more. If so, let me know and I can order whatever length travel you'd like

Wanted to talk about hope brakes mentioning 'grease' leaking being normal.

My comment on that was based on getting some brakes back from a service by Hope. They lubed the pistons with Hunters, and when I pulled the brake, you could see a very small amount of lube seeping from around the piston where it entered the caliper. It pulled back in via capillary action as soon as let off the lever a bit. Asked Hope, they said that's normal. It's this side of the seal, nothing is leaking past the seal.

But also, as noted by others, the bottle of Hunters leaks like fuck on it's own on a shelf, and I have no idea why

Don't lean.

This.
I've come to the conclusion that I'm merely a passenger on whatever journey my bike decides to go on

A vice and a heavy bench will really help. You need to encourage the frame away from the seatpost, rather than just twisting. Seatpost in vice, shoulder inside the frame, twist and stand up

Don't suppose you've still got these?

Or Moby.
