According to the UCI on Twitter it'll be Italy vs. Denmark in the final

Ah, yes. Thought it was just a simple elimination race.

Hmm. Apparently the rules say that as soon as you're within 1 metre of your opponent, the race is over. So the Danes might have won.

The Brits got their man back on track and had three man crossing the line first, so I assume they'll go through

He did mention their start being an area where they'd improved a lot over the last few years, but also suggested that it would probably be even faster if they nailed it just right. They are aiming for a new WR.

Former pro and head of Danish Cycling, Jesper Worre, analysed their effort and concluded that their start was a bit off and three of the guys took too short stints at the front. Probably why they only set an Olympic record and not a new World record...

Look under 'Body transplantation' a bit down that page. Not sure if that's the info you need, but might be a good place to start.

It's a FH-6500 hub

Looks stunning

I've used mine on TV and phone simultaneously

It didn't look like that from my sofa, but I'd really like a shot from above :) Looking forward to see what the stewards decide.

Hamilton had space on his right, didn't he? And he wasn't ahead of Verstappen?

And I haven't listed all the stuff that needs to be done inside the house or in the garden. But yes, fucking looking forward to really digging in.

Fingers crossed for Valverde

When the rear shed is done, I'll have insulated storage and a bike workshop. That'll allow me to get all the bike stuff out of the woodshop and get make that space useful again. And then I just need to insulate the front part of the woodshop and pour a new floor there. That should give me ~12 sqm of insulated storage, ~16 sqm of insulated bike workshop, a ~60 sqm heated woodshop and a bike shed with room for around 10 bikes.

The last thing that needs to be built is a bike shed. It'll be next to my front door and will probably just be an open front shelter thing. Something along the lines of this quick Sketchup sketch. I was a bit worried that there wouldn't be enough room to maneuvre bikes in and out, but a bit of real life testing made it seem ok.

My original plan was to tear the double garage facing the courtyard down, but having had some time to think I have changed my mind. The roof is completely rotten and the tiles(?) are asbestos. One corner has almost come down and I can put my finger through the beam holding the front of the roof.
The roof contruction will be replaced and new metal sheet roof put on. I'll close off the front and use that wall to support the front. It will not be insulated. And I think it'll be divided in two to give my renters a place for some garden stuff etc.

So there's a lot of stuff to be done. Most of the house itself needs a refurb on the inside and some maintenance on the outside, but it's all in useable condition for now. First major project will be sorting out some storage for both regular and bike stuff. The shed at the back of the garden will have insulated walls and roof and the covered part at the rear will be fully enclosed and insulated too. Will probably have to pour a new floor as well.

It looks like I'll be buying the house next to the workshop within the next month or two

Well, that didn't go quite as planned, but I'm officially getting the keys August 1st. I actually already have the keys and have started moving stuff in.

It's @Simba s old one. Built new wheels for it yesterday and went flatbar with some old Deore XT stuff.

Almost ready for tomorrows overnighter

Aha. Maybe the older Maguras allow for closer canti stud spacing too? My Trek has 70 mm spacing and the Magura manual says they need between 78 and 82 mm.

Summer and living in the country side = thrips. And I've a bunch of them inside my monitor. Any tips on getting them out?

Ohh, lovely. Which Maguras?

It was just because my Trek T200 has too narrow stud spacing for (most) Vs and Mini Vs, but cantis work. An issue only made worse by wider rims...
