It’s these - I’ll grab a picture of the setup on the bike in a bit. No weather protection beyond heat shrink but it’s not been a problem

I use a SON hub with Revo front and red eye rear, plus some wave revolution. The only special thing I needed was a pair of piggyback spade connectors to clip onto the hub.

Is there a risk that cramming into a too small tent doesn’t sell the camping dream very well?

Something like the terra nova laser compact 2 would be my recommendation tbh, still fairly competitive vs one-person tents weight -wise. I would imagine it to be pretty cost for two people

given that most 2 person tents are really 1.5 person, I wouldn't bother looking at anything claiming to be 1 person

crude shopping while coffee is being made, but i vote wall colour (grey? Im colourblind btw, so don't use my judgement for anything)

nah i get it. I do like CC, but on holiday in the states once we hired a car that had lane control or something. that was genuinely horrible, but luckily easy to turn off.

massively rate it, i use it all the time. I can squish it into a 1L dry bag and it easily goes in that tiny apidura framepack

anyone in here played a Line6 Hex One? I've been down a massive pedal rabbit hole all week, and I wonder if that might be the best way of scratching the itch, and letting me have a different modulation/time effect for every song without buying all the pedals and having the QE2 for a pedalboard.

as others have said, they all seem to just do it as standard now. ours is hooked up to the sky thingy but thats it.

we recently bought a new one after 15ish years, and the most infuriating bit was discovering that anything decent is minimum 40" aka too fucking big.

Oh yeahhh I didn’t even think about a reflection filter and I was probably looking at mine when I wrote my reply before

what, like theres a handle but if you pull it nothing happens?

not a one-size-fits-all approach, obv, but I have historically chosen people for their style/work, and so just get them to do a thing with a brief. I want work from them, rather than the precise thing, i guess.

logo is the logo though, right, if it's reinterpreted it's not the same thing surely? not the same as 'my friend is really good at drawing and they did this'

people who leap to mind for this would be Paul or Nige

In general it is as you say, any tattooist worth their salt wouldn't be hugely keen on just replicating something someone brings in on a bit of paper. Anyone would be ok with you coming in with that and saying "I want a cartridge bearing, sort of like this" though, I would expect.

Both my suggestions are into bicycles in some capacity, if that helps.

If you mount a garmin on the stem, you can't see or use that dial. problem solved

ah right, yeah that is trickier. go for opium-den chic, and all the soft furnishings will deal with it

if its a small combo, a clothes horse over the amp and mic stand, then drape a heavy blanket or something over the top. Blackout curtains are great for this. It may remove too much room tone for you though.

Alternatively, try to remove as many perpendicular hard surfaces as you can. Angle the amp, hang stuff on the walls (big canvas frames work pretty well so it could be a great opportunity for some decadent interior design)

Helium in the tubes

i also have had good experiences with Ramparts - i did slice a light&supple one, but i was really pushing my luck on that trail. usually I just used them for audax, absolutely perfect

Valkyrie Paintworks in Suffolk. Lots of glow-in-the-dark stuff, including radioactive goop spilling out of the battery box

yeah that is punchy. the paintwork on the Akira replica bike my clients just did for Bike Shed was 3.5k iirc

i think you'd be lucky to get a 700x40 in there tbh

my thinking was essentially "bands who fuck with people". I guess it could also be Frontierer or some other band that trys to make people vomit through sheer aural assault

Atari Teenage Riot

just about functional though. i chose to assume that 42mm is not the upper limit on tyre size, unless this bike is being built around a specific pair of tyres with sentimental value

edit- it could be a bike fit thing, but then i would think shorter cranks would be easier to find than a high stack bike for small 650 tyres
