Pretty cool though tbf now it's lit.

Ok even I'm getting a little tired now.

The horse on the river, the flag, the first 5 minutes of Eiffel tower light show, the elements were there but not for an hour.

I want the dance boat and bridge fashion disco back...

Could be going to Arc de Triumph? SirCav rides it down cobbles?

That music was like Zidane was off to Mordor.

And still light on mimes.

Still time...

Well contrast to the neighsayers, I think this has been absolutely great so far. Just good, well orchestred fun with a good amount of euro style colour and pop as it's flowed along the river.

People will be complaining it's mostly been in french soon.

I do, this is fantastic. The rain really adding extra here.

No, it's peak party time.

Crikey that American boat!

Yeah rain is sad, really enjoying the show though. Like the idea of following the river like this, rather than the stadium.

Dad dancing drummer leader is exquisite.

Very much enjoying the boats. Loved the little one Bahrain were on.

Anyone got any black Specialized Roubaix tape? Or know anywhere selling it? Or the same stuff that's rebranded as something else? Thanks!

As a long time fan of friction shifting, when my microshift advent 9 speed in friction mode started breaking internally, I've replaced it with an Uno.

It's got a lovely, and I mean lovely feel to it. It's glides between gears and is something to behold. It also was super easy to setup, didn't actually require anything more than just attaching to the bars and mech as you'd expect. (10 speed advent x mech on 46t cassette).

However it looks pretty industrial (they also have two spacers in the middle that don't seem to serve a purpose, but if you remove them then the cable doesn't line up anymore) and the little turny lever to keep tension rattles like anything. Going to have to sort that as it's incredibly irritating when riding.

All in all, I don't think it's worth the price they're asking, unless you really really want the 12 speed. I think I'd rather have just got another Microshift one for 20% of the price. Although it does feel lovely to use.

As you've gone the one bolt route, it's very advisable to do the emergency zip tie around the fork just in case.

Otherwise, basket and bungees for carrying books and things?

£300 BIN. Not the trendiest, but that's got to be good value?

Is that a discount code?

I'm really enjoying the Espresso blend, very nice.

The decaff El Eden though, tastes like a Starbucks coffee to me, I don't know how else to articulate the flavour. Almost smokey? There is probably a proper word for it. Dunno. Anyway wont be ordering that again as I don't particularly like that flavour.

Crimping, or using a Dremel to sand out a smooth groove?

Ohhhhhh I see haha. Good one!

Ann (or Egg), George Michael's girlfriend. Only a bit part, but always funny.

Not ideal news.

Been rewatching Arrested Development. Forgot just how good the first few seasons are. Especially anything to do with Ann in S2.

At that fineness, five minutes to get the arms moving, fifteen to pull the shot 😂

Think I'm done experimenting with fineness and going a bit coarser. Like about 18 or 19 grams in the robot taste wise.

Edit - if anyone's interested, turns out its because where I was testing on finer grinds, lots of little 'fines' collect and then clog the holes in the basket. Cleaning out the grinder had removed them, and now all is well in the world.

Am I right in saying the Le Tour Femmes is not being shown on itv like the men's was?

That was about 19grams or so.
