If you’re feeling brave get a (longish) piece of grass this eve and gently tickle one of the trip wires coming out of the web.

They’re unbelievably quick and it makes me jump every time.

Don’t use your finger as they give a good nip. Similar to a woodlouse spider in terms of not wanting to repeat the feeling.

Almost certainly S. florentina from the looks of it but could be another unusually patterned Segistrid individual if you’re not based in the south.

Yours a 61 as well?

Ah damn. I saw those but only 260mm steerer :( damn big frames

Is that tange fork for a 1 1/8th headset? I'm looking for something similar for my lemond and struggling to find anywhere that sells chrome forks that would fit

Devon, there’s loads of them in south west England as they initially colonised on the south coast I think from Europe.

They seem to love old brick walls which have been drilled before as I imagine it makes tunnel web building nice and easy.

Yep that fangs are a lovley iridescent green but couldn’t really get it focussed due to poor iphone camera and beers.

Plenty of Segestria florentina out and about this evening. The latter one busying itself with some late night cannibalism

Digital spirit level -3 degrees down prob a good starting point. Use your seat tube angle as the ideal zeroing point.

Smartphone digital measure apps available.

Challenge strada bianca. Come up ~33-34 on 21 internal rims. Prob more like 32 on 17-19 internal. Roll amazingly well, pain in the arse to fit when new though.

It’s your any time you’re in Devon.

Unfortunately it would not as the current fork appears to Ben straight 1 1/8

Bought this fork off merlin, as linked earlier. Impulse purchase and didn’t read bit about steerer so I’m hoping it may be of some use to one of you. Taken some more measurements which weren’t initially provided too.

Merlin carbon gravel fork, 1 1/8- 1 1/2 tapered carbon steerer 220mm, steerer bung included. As far as I can tell it’s new though may have been fitted to a display bike, flat mount, qr, mudguard mounts, internal cable routing, 1 threaded boss on inside of each fork leg and it’s blue. A-c seems to be 398, 53 offset. 595g according to kitchen scales.

Looking for what’s I paid, so that’s £25 + postage.

@ColinTheBald Maxcatch toothpick arrived today and is remarkably compact. Ordered a reel too as managed to kill my little greys one.

Came with free fly line, free second reel (only paid for a spare spool) and a fantastically terrible fishing hat

I worry about unwanted stiffness...

Wallet can not withstand. Any cheaper alternatives to lessen impact of stitching apart from stripping and recovering the saddle?

Right. Anybody got any solutions for smp related bib wear? Getting fed up of my smp eating through new bibs and I think I’ve narrowed it down to the stitching on the back and sides.

Another one for priscilla with my newish to me barley

Yep. Higher o2 content of atmosphere during the Carboniferous period meant insects could be a lot larger too. Relatives of dragonflies got up to about a metre in wingspan I think during that time

Impulse purchased. And didn’t see steerer length. Turns out it was the last one. So will measure dimensions of fork and if it turns out to be too short, happy to ship it on here for what I paid.

Chinese toothpick en route, currently languishing in a sorting centre. My reel gave up the ghost after 15 years too so ordered a matching one from them to. Also lurking in the depths of the Chinese postal system.

Haha!

Saw this today. A scorpion fly

My guess would be annelids are all right but no to nematodes

And also this guy who flew straight into my face.
