Whoever manages the Ingrid social media lost their shit with me saying “I’d be a bit cautious about buying Ingrid as they are very hard to communicate with” on a PinkBike post, rather proving my point.

(I’d tried to buy some cranks from them and they just stopped responding).

I had the previous generation E Class estate and it gave me back ache due, I think, to the offset wheel which twisted me in the seat - on that basis I’d recommend checking whatever model you look at for the position in which it puts you. Other than that, mine (2016 E63) was a great car, lots of room, plenty of poke etc.

Assad reported to be interested only in bungalows.

I don’t know why but I think this places cars might be quick.

Assad’s plane seems to have crashed.

What I would be concerned about would be the shock load of the impact being transferred into the suspension and related struts and control arms- if for example you had your foot on the brakes when you were hit.

It’s a pain, but I’d want to get the vehicle up in the air with a good mechanic looking over the chassis to ensure that nothing got tweaked.

And also very careful about connecting that machine to the internet.

Anywhere in particular that people would recommend for sourcing a second hand JLC?

Looks like it’s done.

I have learnt a new code phrase- “she’s ok for racing”, this means that the interior is basically somewhere out of the rain, maybe just out of the direct rain, but that’s all you can really say about it.

I would add the cost of a full suspension rebuild (including bushings) and maybe headset bearings as well but other than those caveats it’s hard to see why it would be a bad move.

Small market I think, what sort of age is the kit you are finding for sale?

My M1 MBA has 16 gig of RAM and a 512 gig hard drive, which is more than half full despite having 2 terabytes of iCloud storage, so - I think I would want a minimum of 512 for the onboard. I’m leaning toward the mini pro as a somewhat future proof option.

Ah, interesting - I shall check the battery spec. Thanks.

Including a foot for the OG’s

Minor but very satisfying update.

Which one did you get?

Speaking of Jibb’s I also (finally) washed my current one.

Thanks for the link - did serve to highlight that I can't buy green Ryobi here.

I might pick one up in the UK and work out how on earth to get the battery back to SG afterwards...

Thanks to JB for sorting out the "how to order Cane Creek when not in the US" conundrum, 40% off EE Wings cranks is significant.

They'll go on the Jibb v2 that is now on its way - I ordered Large to replace my current XL as the trails here are fairly slow speed and involve a lot of tight uphill, technical turns - and Raaw wanted me on an L in the first place, so interested to see how that turns out.

I opted for the raw aluminium finish, which is going to make it look like I have three of the same bike, but I do prefer that to the flat black.

UDH hanger, but likely going to transfer my existing kit over using a UDH hanger rather than springing for Transmission, certainly at first.

Cracked software - whilst the cracker may be doing so for purely altruistic motives it's such an open goal for threat actors, who can crack the protection and bundle in their infostealer of choice and have a queue of people who wish to install it, and will ignore security warnings that might crop up.

In this world of commodity infostealer malware I would advise running such software on a machine that you don’t use for internet banking, internet shopping or things like email which you have to login to.

40% off at Cane Creek for all products - including their EE Wings cranks. Sadly only posting to the US and Canada.

Which of the Ryobi dak-daks would be most suitable for bicycle use?
