To be honest I think this looks spot on. The bell covers up the spacer stack well, I might do something similar. Also nice work with the disk fork, I toyed with the idea of doing similar with a cheap carbon job but my money ran dry.

Black or silver headset on my donohue? I'm putting a non-threaded carbon fork on it. It's red.

Is there some kind of filter to apply to my weight graph that will give me a trend? What length of time and filter would be recommended? I get silly fluctuations pretty regularly

EDIT: Did some reading, and a moving average is the way to go apparently. There's an app called libra which tracks it nicely and gives you a good amount of customisation so I'm going to try that for a while, will report back.
Lets me move away from myfitnesspal (no longer tracking food as much) and away from their scary data collection too.

I got sick of the panic recording of data while on the scales too, so I went not quite as oldschool as greenbank and started to write it on my hand. Transfer that to my phone with my morning coffee and invariably forget to wash it off the back of my hand, giving me a nice reminder as I go to pick up food

Nah I doubt it. I was on a cross chainset (46/36) and an 11-34 cassette and sometimes yearned for a lower gear! I was heavily loaded (large rear panniers, small front panniers and bar-bag) so maybe take that into account too. I never got to use the top end of the gear range at all as I found panniers slowed me down a lot downhill despite the weight, due to the added drag I think.
Is there really such a thing as undergeared on a tour?

Agree with this so much. The rolling coast in North California was really tough, constant small uphill bumps which take away all of your momentum and you inevitably end up trying hard up them. Exhausting.

Just used this guide to set up my nexus 7 as a display (really a remote desktop) for the pi, it was simple and will be good for visualising data from the robot i'm working on

What he said ^
I've just ordered a 90mm and 110mm of that stem, cheers for the reminder!

I've been doing terribly lately, daily snacking. I've been creating excuses for not managing the changes in the past and falling into old, ridiculous snacking ways, and having thought about it, realised that I just don't want it enough, and I want that to change. Motivation lapses stop now!

Fixed next time though.

What kind of ratios are you riding long hilly audaxes on?

Nice, thanks!

I was looking at it as a candidate for stripping like you did to the Hell. I have one on a bike already and really like it, but the padding is a bit much sometimes. I'm thinking that as it's a gel saddle the base is unlikely to be sturdy enough for sitting on without all the padding though?

Yeah I just saw that! Thanks. If I'm strict with money for a month or so I'll stretch to a seatpack then should be sorted

SMP Extra is now £50+ ?! I swear it used to be one of the budget options

My surly has gone back to my parents for summer in favour of a road bike, so I want to make my fixed gear a bit more suitable for taking on mini camping trips.

I have drybags but I want to get both a seatback and handlebar harness to help secure them a little better to the bike. What's my cheapest option? Alpkit? Their drybags seem good value but the harnesses are less cheap.

I've sorted it, thanks though!

My session last night was fun, if uneventful. I joined what looked like a noob friendly server with only 10 other players and basically wandered. Managed to not starve or die of thirst and actually had a hatchet to open my first tin of peaches when that happened. Found three different guns and some ammo of the complete wrong kind too. No humans and only one zombie warning but I never actually saw the thing! It was still tense throughout despite this.

Does anyone have a link that I can have a read of to guide me to some of the better loot locations? Military camps are best aren't they?

Registering interest in the beaten up dynamic...

Anyone have a 10sp shimano rear wheel for sale for cheaps? Cheers

Friendly strangers on the internet are friendly! I'm heading on to have a mooch about for a bit, but will probably go it alone for a while until I've got to grips with it. Would have definitely come on on Thursday but my gf is out so I've organised a smash bros + beer night!

@spotter always bringing the goods

Just got my last ever student loan payment and FINALLY bought DayZ. I have no idea what I'm doing...

End result is a more nimble but less versatile cross-check? I like it

How much should I be paying to get a potentially seized BB removed?
My LBS said ~£15-20 if it comes straight out, potentially up to £50 if its a pain

@Lukas I was hoping but they're 1 1/8. Shim shimmeny! The reach is pretty crazy, it's going to take a fair bit of getting used to. Gonna have to find some smaller sprockets before I hit the loop too!
@pdlouche thanks! They actually don't suit the frame at all (I've just thrown them on right now) but matters might be improved with some bartape

Got these for mad cheap yesterday, looking forward to cobbling together a cheap fixed tt setup and never racing it
