I hate this thread... but I punish myself by coming here to look at some decent cycling scenery... my route this weekend involved 50 miles of hot, humid never-ending city:

Thought I'd get the whole thing squared away today but two annoyances.
1) Jag wire xl has plenty of brake housing for a fully enclosed run but not nearly enough gear cable.

2) don't have any disc brake mounts... Fail.

Anyway, Starting to look like a bike:

ah... thanks!

Ridiculous!

(And amazing).

If anyone else is looking for Kojaks in 650b x 2" don't bother... they don't exist - took me a while to work that one out! I bought some 35mm as a stand in for now till I can afford something better...

@pryally if you do fancy selling let me know - I could be persuaded to buy!

No idea how to wire up a dynamo light... there are BARE wires FFS! There is no doubt in my mind I will get the wires the wrong way around and blow the light first time out... luckily Bike 24 are pretty damn good and selling cheap at the moment...

More stash.. lovely jubbly!

very nice!

Whaaat?! I only got one vote - and I voted for myself...! Travesty. To be fair that will happen when you stumble across a page a little bit drunk and think you can have a go...

Well done @panic a deserved win.

Has anyone got any 42mm 650b tyres they want to off-load? Can't find any 2" Kojaks and not in the mood to pay over a ton for compass or soma... Ta.

Am I doing this right?

"Snarky fark" will forever be one of my fave comebacks...

saucey...

What's this then...?

Moving very slowly... No rush, frame won't arrive till February probably... Anyway a nice early Xmas present arrived this morning. Fantastic work by @jtrent90

Same question but for Wald baskets - pref 137.

Anyone know where I can buy a B&M CYO dynamo light in London? In the big smoke on Monday and Tuesday next week and want to pick one up from a physical shop if possible.

Cheers!

this is classic - well done him and pretty outrageous that he was fired..

That was my understanding too - so does that mean that 'shoot to kill' is some sort of politician/press buzzword that has no real world effect as to how operations will actually be carried out..?

I'm not an expert in the whole police or sas side of things but having been in a position where I was trained to shoot people we were always told to aim for the 'center of mass' i.e. the middle of the body. Obviously this presents the largest area to target but it is also the part of the body that holds the majority of vital organs. There was never a shoot to kill v shoot to disable differentiation... is you presented arms and pulled the trigger the aim was always to kill. I think I am right in saying that the 'shoot to kill' moniker is a Hollywood bastardization of a legal term when someone shoots someone with the aim of killing them but wounds them instead, still attempted murder.

Head shots in a close quarters environment when one suspects a person to be wearing a suicide vest is another consideration all together and something that is up to the interpretation of the firearms handler at a particular scene.

Slow progress on the wheels... Have bit got around to lacing them yet... Meantime have lacquered the track:

Full disclosure: My KOM is on my very specific, only I know the route, commute. BUT if they need a replacement for Contador then I really should get in touch...

If I change to 26mm Spesh turbo cottons I will become king of middle-earth!

ftfy.

Basically already am tbh

Good idea :)
