Not taking the piss by the way, love the passion!

I'm finding my new-ish Kinesis gravel bike quite tough on my hands and wrists. There seems to be loads of contradictory info online about what to change up to relieve it. LFGSS hive mind, where should I start? The stem is currently slammed but with a tall head tube puts the bars in roughly the same place as my old, very comfortable road bike. I have plenty of steerer left to raise the bars if needs be.
It feels a bit like my wrists are at a funny angle, rather than there being a straight transition. Worth dropping/angling the hoods slightly maybe?

What constitutes a dry brine is an even better hill to die on than who owns which bit of a train station. I love this place.

He's a handsome boy isn't he? Even with most of his teeth missing. He's been really nice recently as well, clearly in a good mood about something. (Not that he isn't usually nice, he's just dialled it up a bit).

Seconded! I've had a couple of sets of Ramparts and they do come up a bit small. Great tyres though.

It's impossible to get any work done when I'm being micromanaged like this.

Perfect, that's what I wanted to hear. It's so much easier cleaning a chain when it's not on the bike and I can't be arsed messing about with a chain breaker every time. Thanks!

Bloody hell. We had a couple of labs when I was a kid and this was one of their signatures moves. Fuck off in to a field chasing something, disappear and then be waiting at the front door after I'd spent an hour looking for her.

Another chain related question. Are there any issues with running a quick link in a chain on a fixed gear? My fixie skidder days are behind me and I mostly use a brake to slow down, rather than backpedaling if that makes a fiery death any less likely.

That's the sort of thing I'm after I think, thank you!

What are people using to degrease their chains? I'm currently using Finish Line stuff but the can's running out and I was wondering if there's a better alternative.

Yeah I assumed as much from your comment, just don't want others to miss out on my cool joke about billionaires getting injured!

For those that don't know the area, the helipad is atop King's College Hospital so fingers crossed plenty of billionaires have cause to use it.

New. Crossover with the DIY thread? Also, from searching to see if this is a retag, it seems obligatory to use the phrase "get your skates on" when tagging a skatepark so there you go.

Old, The Fox On The Hill, Denmark Hill.

I saw it at The Garden Cinema a few weeks ago. I enjoyed it quite a bit! Lovely cinema as well (in a boujie way). My first time there.

I will gladly accept any donations of uncool and unwanted Le Laboureur jackets to compliment my plastic glasses. I sold one a few years ago that was slightly too small at the time but have since lost weight and miss it.

You can literally have them for free at this point if you want them! Just DM me.

Make me an offer if you're keen! I'd rather someone got some use out of these.

I've got 2 tickets to American Football at The Roundhouse tonight. I can't make it anymore so looking to sell them. Face value is £35 each, would sell for £25 each. Can just transfer the tickets!

Finally, someone else who likes Gravelkings on here. I do like them but prefer Terravail Ramparts. They're similar but feel quicker and smoother. Might be worth a look if you fancy a change in another few thousand miles.

Oooooft, that's so tough. Really sorry to hear it. Really good work rescuing Margot though, you've saved a life!

If you take the other end out will that go in all the way?

Looks ideal, thanks!

The human hornet. Nice.
