Why hasn't Brompton made a disc model yet?

It's clearly not difficult as its being done by a chap in a garage (Kinetics), so why not?

Yikes.

Yeah, there are plenty of people out there like that, that can't resist a dig. My hope is that the agents weed out the obvious chancers and piss takers when the bids come in.

Thats a cool bike.

You know you've lived in London too long when you see that and think its a bargain.

A Force 1 rear mech can shift up to a 42t sprocket officially and a 46t sprocket unofficially so they do provide a lot of range.

Depends on the F1 derailleur, SRAM make a short cage and a medium cage version. The short can only go up to 36T officially. Looks like the cassette on there is a 32, so it may be the short cage version.

Got to wonder what Mike Ashley's goal is with all this purchasing of failing sports retailers. All these retailers have massive overlap, if he wanted to be the Amazon of all sporting goods he didn't need to actually buy them all?

Leave it there and turn it into a table/feature/stick a birdbath on top.

Anything else will be backbreaking.

This is why you'd still be wanting a Samsung Frame TV, not to stick on the wall but because of the super minimalist fibreoptic cable it uses for power and data. Easy to hide when using a stand.

I think I'd take the easy option and buy some nice new turf to roll out, wouldn't cost that much for that size - keep the dog off it for a while. I re-seeded a bare bit of lawn last year and it looks shit and tufty, theres no grantee of a good result by seeding.

Seems quite the reversal no? France has barely supplied anything so far apart from a few SCALPS.

RIP LMNH

The culprits (86yo) car ended up on its side. Residential street

Woah, time to hand over the keys old girl. Elderly drivers eh, worse than teenagers.

Let me guess what she said - "oops, wrong shoes".

There are other cycling forums!!??

Huge if true.

Thing is, if its really wet outside, like it is currently, humidity will be high inside with or without an airbrick if its cold. I think a dehumidifier or a little electric rad left on low would make the most difference as its very cold in there.

WhErE Is KaTe?

This is what you need. We have several sets in our kitchen, you dont need fancy switches and new wiring, a product exists to do the job. The Enteenly LED strip runs off a plug with a thin wire, you can resize the light strip length cut shorter or daisy chain together to make longer, change intensity and colour all by remote control. Cheap and easy as chips.

We got our from Lidl, apologies for the Bezos link:

Take the seatpost out, clean it, clean the seat tube. check them for any damage. If not, apply lots of fresh carbon grip paste, put it back in and use a torque wrench to tighten the clamp properly to 5nm. Let us know how you get on.

Your seatpost is also set very high. Check where the minimum insertion line is on the seatpost, there may not be enough seatpost left below the clamp for a secure fit, the bike may be too small for you if so.

If you haven’t done so already, get pet insurance immediately. The moment anything is diagnosed, now or in the future, then most insurers won’t open a cover. Must be taken out when you take ownership of the cat and it’s in good health.

Babboes are cheaper than everyone else to be fair. If they can be reinforced cheaply by a local welder, then you’re still quids in.

Uberbike pads are great, perfectly as good as the big brands at a fraction of the price. I’ve been using them for years - does anyone still really purchase £19.99+ branded disk brake pads?

The worst part is, you spend £1.125 million to buy a pokey Victorian worker’s terrace house in Homerton, surrounded by dodgy neighbours, scary schools and you won’t even feel like a baller.
