The problem with the long front guard like that is more that water/shit/twigs get pushed up into the mudguard and either bounce around there of get stuck and rub.

A flap works a lot better but I think people like the look of these longer ones.

The problem with whatever they pick up would be minimized if the spacing at the base of the fender is a little tighter than the top.
I do run mine shorter than I used to though, they last longer that way with a shorter unsupported section.

Can anyone tell me what the black box shape thing is on the top left of this map?

I thought it was the old fuel dump at first

But then this picture shows nothing in exactly the same spot;

Maybe settling pond for animal poo? Any fairly large cattle/pig/chicken operations nearby?

I have the chance of getting some photography work on behalf of an architecture firm. I normally do portrait and modelling stuff so have nothing to show them. Ergo I'm going to get on me bike and hit the streets and hopefully photograph things beyond the norm.

So other than the obvious stand out addresses and Googling to find buildings does anyone know of any hidden gems around central/south London ? I'm thinking both commercial and residential with a lean to the modernist and graphic style. I thought I knew London pretty well but my mind has turned to mush coming up with places.

Ideally somewhere quiet too, I really just want to shoot a building with as little going on around it as poss. Mebee the city on Sunday morning.....

All ideas welcome, could do with some sharp looking interiors too.

I own a book that came out in 1997 (Small House Designs - ISBN - 0-88266-854-4) that showed a house on Hoxton Square that I really liked, but the book only had illustrations, no photos. The one time I searched for it I had no luck. I'm in Canada, so I don't have regular opportunities to look around there. Megan Williams is the architect, so you could contact her; based on this house, she probably has continued to do innovative work.

Whats the power supply to the front hub all about then?

Electromagnets.

Nirvackleback.
This will be my band's name.
Need to learn air guitar first, though.

Good bike that, Ed. Enjoy my compliments.

Rather instructive, I never know what to do with compliments.

Dremel always makes a clean cut.

you disgust me

New to me, but fair play as per my invite.

Chinese people crouch like that all the time. Trend setters. I can't manage it at all, despite being schooled by a Chinese friend of mine.

I can manage on a slope.

(feel free to play with that)

I think *m.f. was referring to the video in post 64313, not the Nagasawa.

Looks like electrical tape from here.

Recumbents have never been about aesthetics (obviously) but about comfort and (in the aerodynamic models) speed.

2 great bands in one - don't care what they say.

In front of your own home?

How many toxins does the human body have in it?

I have 9, counting the sunblock lipstick I just ate (30 SPF - safety first).
I count the chaise lounge as an anti-toxin, 'cause it's comfy.

Does anyone know if these are just lycra and not that furry, warm, super-roubaix material?

According to this site the material is the classic 'matte, silky smooth' type.

You mean the ones that do not require mechanical attachment yet require bungee cords to the axle to stabilize the bag?
Would not recommend that set-up, too bouncy.
Small front rack with decaleur would be stronger, more stable and prettier.

Leaving work to look for that would be a fail.

The top one creeps me out a bit, the bottom one is great, much more welcoming IMO.

Supposedly provides some showing proofing effects as well as keeping it supple, and helping to "break-in"

"A new saddle should be treated with Brooks Proofide leather dressing to help assist the ‘breaking-in’ process. Proofide keeps the leather supple as it is specially formulated from natural ingredients to condition, preserve and shower proof your saddle."

Yeah, I'd wait too.
Most of my Brooks saddles have only gotten one or two treatments over the time I've had them, the oldest being about 15 years.
