So rad.

Gwan den, what’s the plan?

Looked at this a few times over the last six months. I think Le Shuttle is the way to go

Haven’t ridden Brasted in ages!

For short ones in general, I’ll look at power for the first 30 or 45 seconds, just to keep things in check, then ride on feel. Under two mins is largely a mind game I reckon. You should be absolutely ruined by the effort if you do it right.

Also, save some for the finish. A wise hill climber once said you probably won’t win a HC in the last 100m, but you can definitely lose it.

So you found a company who would quote on the re-gassing? Can you share deets please?

The rooflight company said it’s very rare, sounded genuine so I’m sure you’ll be fine. TBH I imagine it popped when we were manhandling it through the house and onto the roof. Problem with a replacement is, really, it should be craned in 🤯

At least it’s triple glazed so we still have argon & air gap.

They’ll replace the unit, but fitting is on our coin, and would be a nightmare

Unfortunately it’s a 3000x1000 triple glazed rooflight. Not very easy to swap out. Upper chamber has a leak and water vapour inside.

Anyone had a double glazed unit re-sealed and re-gassed in situ?

Thought I’d got a bargain Togo on eBay earlier today before I realised it was a kids size one 😂

So voting Labour doesn’t affect them, or might even cost them more in taxes, but they’re supporting them anyway because they think it will be better for the country and people not as rich as them?

Clearly scum

Right handed everything, I hold my knife and fork the wrong way around.

Knatts Valley was all Reform placards on Saturday. Wished I’d taken a sharpie to do some editing - deform maybe?

At least I was wearing All-In Racing rainbow socks for pride. That’ll learn ‘em.

Used to be a few people on eBay doing cheap rental

Cheap Filtropa for all you Technivorm headz

Guess like humans cats have different thermostats. Jam used to cook himself on radiator covers in a flat we stayed in.

Probably just need to replace the ceramic cartridge in the tap... a lot less work if you don't want to get right into it

Cycled out to John Little’s garden, Hilldrop, in Essex on Saturday for the open day. Amazing place absolutely buzzing with bugs, bees and general biodiversity. Such a nice guy too, passionate, knowledgable and happy to chat.

TBC, whatever's knocking around the classifieds I expect 😉

They are still miles from being a good alternative to gas rn sadly.

Happily this is not true

I wouldn’t expect much saving on running costs compared to gas if the building itself is leaky and badly insulated. To be honest it’ll probably cost more to heat with a HP than gas…

SDS + crushing hangover was a particular highlight

Did this today, no tension things but I reckon it’ll be fine. 5x40 stainless screws into red plugs. 1.6mm galv wire.

It could be teak, but I’d be very surprised. Almost certainly meranti or sapele, but probably meranti. Why do you need to know?

Probably meranti

The house that LFGSS built 😂

I ended up with a Kinesis GX Race but the Ribble was top of my list otherwise. Fancied building a bike rather than off-the-peg.

The value is great and they’re really classy looking bikes. Ribble often have b-stock or clearance so keep an eye out.
