I booked for the 6pm.

Price drop on my 23" Cinema Display as I'm in the process of boxing it up. Would be happy to let it go for £185 if any LFGSSers fancy it before eBay next week.

One going for 55 on eBay at the mo:

11-speed dérailleur

I was under the impression 11-speed cassettes required an 11-speed specific chain?

Is there a Tester Approved 11-speed chain?

Any reason I shouldn't just replace like-for-like the PC-1130 that came with my a SRAM Rival 22 groupset?

Relevant comic (from three years ago)… :)

Every single morning I come into the office, wake my Mac mini from sleep and one of the monitors in my (non-Apple) dual screen setup is not recognised.

Sometimes putting the machine to sleep and then waking it again resolves the issues, sometimes a full reboot is required, very occasionally I have to unplug and re-plug the cables along with a reboot. It's never the same monitor nor the same port, I've tried different cables and that didn't change anything.

Woah!

Wait…

Step Six - Fly to your destination store that suitcase somewhere, and go for a rice (in my case this was southern Mexico).

What?

Seems the correct thread for this?

Thanks both!

@edscoble I remember you had a particular favourite model of pads - could you please remind me? The ones that came with my Spyres are now totally dead.

You can indeed. I'll send you a PM.

I have a Restrap one you can have for a fiver:

Thanks for this info!

I've been reading up and I've seen good things written about a Hans Dampf/Racing Ralph (front/rear) combo for a mix of XC/trail stuff.

I think I'll give that a whirl as I'm not particularly attached to the High Rollers and this Schwalbe combo can be had for around £40.

Something grippy, fairly large and fairly robust.

Perhaps I should keep the 2.5" 3C High Rollers for the odd occasion in SH etc. then pick up something smaller and lighter like 2.2 Mountain Kings for the rest of the time.

For epping specifically?

Not necessarily Epping specifically, I'm going to Swinley this weekend and attending @t_w's Surrey Hills ride on the 19th, although Epping's where I'll spend the majority of my weekends as it's near me.

What compound?

Their "3C Maxx Grip" compound.

You don't really need 2.5s for Epping, and tyre casings have got quite a bit lighter since the High Roller, so there's certainly a good chunk of weight and Crr to be saved.

This is what I was hoping. Got any recommendations?

On a different note, my 26" hardtail is running 2.5" Maxxis High Roller tyres
front and rear (these were on it when I bought it). I've only been riding the
trails around Epping so far but on the less technical stuff my cross bike with
40c tyres is waaaay faster and significantly less effort. The MTB is way more
fun, but it's so slowwww on flat stretches (especially tarmac, grass, gravel,
fire roads, etc.) and even mild climbs are a killer.

Any advice for me? Would I benefit from a different tyre setup? I'm currently
exercising HTFU but I wouldn't mind making my life a little easier.

Haha, hello! That was @spotter and I. It was a pleasant surprise to see a forum cap on a trail in the middle of the woods. Nice skid!

Haha, yeah my sealskinz gloves are super waterproof like that but they're just not warm.

Do the sealskinz keep you toesty as well as dry?

Ah yes, I've heard good things.
