Decent haul today

Tyres full of dogshit definitely earn a surcharge

Brocc has bolted, as per. Managed to get one head this year at least, it’s usually 100% failure

JHB is also there to do translation of interviews, no? he was a bit frustrating this year given the amount 'actually i dont know anything about the wine from round here' and making holiday plans with one of the other pundits

I don't think the place that did my fit would have anywhere to clean a bike, but then the fitting was done on a jig so i dont think that much dust etc would have been a problem, my bike just had a few measurements taken as a starting point

I've had quite a few multi-day session pieces as well, and the price discussion has only ever really been around 'how much money do i need to bring?' re. the first session. After that, its kind of finished when its finished, as larger pieces can have a bit of scope creep (e.g. when it was decided to add in a linework skull into the stained glass panels on my front)

An older Fearless Warlock or Croix De Fer?

What finish? I’m using the standard Dunlop stuff at the moment which seems fine on everything. I used to use some stuff from Meguiars on my satin les Paul which always worked really nicely

Anybody here remember the Superstar cheap wheel bonanza?

Well, I bought a set ahead of building a trail hardtail after I moved house and stuff, so 6 months ago. Turns out I must have got a bit overexcited, coz I bought 29ers when I need 27.

Anybody after a set of wide 29er wheels, boost, XD, hit this idiot up.

im loving those beds, particularly while pondering what to do with my new wierdly shaped garden. how do you find mainenance on that deep corner section?

Let me just grow my curly tache back and I’ll do it

Normal operating temp for the R9T is 113 or something

Hmm can’t remember…no fan etc of course so they do run hot. The Pier City guys see 130 regularly during flat track races without issue but I did stop for ten mins before getting back in the queues when I saw 140. That was “spirited” country lanes until hitting traffic from Mitcham to Brixton

And you presumably weren’t riding at cyclist pace!

There is a bit of a glut of this sort of thing going on

I’ve seen a few R9T as well, which surprised me given how hot they must get on the cols. mine clocked 140 degrees the other week in traffic!

i didn't know ethan hawke was on the JV staff

my SON delux 12 has started to sound a bit rough - i thought the brake rotor was rubbing at first. does anybody have any handy tricks to deal with this before I unbuild the wheel to send to Germany? bike hasn't been ridden much in a while so i reckon my first stop is just to get it moving again

I have a very thin zip tie i've kept hold of for precisely this purpose, actually gives a decent indication of whether the sealant is still sealant, rather than separated out eggwhite grossness

The bottom vent thing is leaking out some black stuff in line with what I’d expect to pull from the tap

We kicked it off with a load of twigs and shit as per instructions, then a 1:1:1 mix of chopped food scraps, paper and bulking chips. Initially I didn’t realise you shouldn’t open it more than once a week, so that prob didn’t help as I was popping stuff in every couple of days. I did also chuck bbq ash in there at one point as I figured it would count as carbon, but in retrospect realised it would probably choke it up a bit

On the Hotbin chat, we’ve been running ours for maybe a month but it’s not getting much warmer than ambient temp. We’ve bought a shredder and are now fucking loading it up with shredded paper and card, but is there any other reliable trick to get it going?

well played, I always want to do off tarmac tags but struggle to come up with something that is recognisable but not easy!

My OH asked earlier whether Pete insists on his stage position in order to give the palm tree maximum airtime

Yeah that’s fair, I have a corded ryobi jigsaw that’s seen enough use to test it and it’s never missed a beat. Went for the dewalt set in the end, looking forward to finding a seized bolt on my moto to test the impact driver
