Care free mum/ dad?? How am I so stressed then

Just to say I’m looking forward to this season a lot Maj, I have been reading along diligently

Do you mean a third grill?

I’ve been really enjoying my rosin bib shorts

Unfortunately both sets of hipster cages were spoken for preeeeetty quickly

• be thankful I spared you 4min 33
  

3 pair of cages, all have been used but I’m very good condition

Items reside in N8, I can bring them to the southbank (Tate modern), or drop on the way in or out. Rather not post but can do

Selling by the pair

I’m away next week (w/c 17th) and the week after btw

Simworks ‘John’ cage (like John Cage
* geddit)

• looks like a mushroom from a certain angle
  
• really very nice design
  
• Not a shiney finish, like a gunmetal finish
  
• Slim tubing
  
• Gucci

£35 for the pair

Elite Moreo

• Side loaders I think?
  
• Does a good job actually of holding the bottle and easy in out
  
• Will take some pictures Wednesday but they’re like
  
  £15 pp
  
  

King Iris cage

• Very grippy
  
• Good for a Kleen kanteen or something bigger than the standard bottle as it doesn’t use the thumb indent - see below
  
• some people love them
  
• Would likely survive nuclear blast, like, they’re strong innit
  
  
  

Give me £20 and the pair are/ is (?) yours

Outstanding! I look forward to the test bits

Lots of slowly rotating the wheel so the sealant can get all over the inside

Cool photo angles

What colour(s) will the AWOLs be? Your palettes have been great.

We all heard about ‘the email’?

Turns out Osborne is maybe even more of a cunt than you thought

That seat stay/ seat tube junction 🥺

Janus’ bike is also lush

every time I think I’m out.gif

As I’m in the office tomorrow I could leave my laptop there and enjoy commuting without all the stuff. Got work done in the morning, watched the tour, then knocked off early and went for a few laps on the sun.

Loved it, great to get some riding without the weight.

The Fizik terra bar tape is already getting dirty, 4 rides in. I can’t imagine it would stand up to proper gravel use

Then I found @Tijmen had sent something to look forward to, and I’m absolutely pumped! He’s done a great job of dealing with a pretty awkward customer drip feeding ridiculous requests and questions, I’m really looking forward to getting these in. The frame bag is for the Faran, this whole thing started far before I was thinking about CAADs

@Tijs right??

@Hulsroy these may be quite old, maybe I was going too fast before, but the heat definitely helped release the glue so the sticker layers didn’t separate, and left next to no residue. Would have preferred to use oil though.

@ojwithbits ah nice, smart move tbh, you may not be as tempted to pour cash into Gucci bits rather than functional? Did it come with carbon wheels?

He took 10 bonus seconds to Jonas’ 6, so 30?

Innit

Pro make a long one that doesn’t have the top lip that sits on the top of the steerer

I don’t know but have wondered if the top lip of the deda is a good thing or not

Right, Roger Musson's and Jobst Brandt's are the ones called out a lot

Edit: ah you've linked the Brandt book

I've never built a wheelset, if I wanted to, and am somewhat mechanically minded, is a course worthwhile or just a few hours reading/ watching videos?

Thank god I’m just working my notice

Destickering these wheels was more of a pain than I thought. I found the best way was heating the edge of the sticker for a while with hair dryer, using a tyre lever to get an edge up and pulling off by a couple cm, then heating the sticker ahead with the dryer and slowly pulling off. Without the heat the top layer separated from the back layer, and it took a lot of heating to ‘melt’ the adhesive.

Used degreaser to clean off the adhesive residue from before I got that process down, couldnt find white spirit nor wd40 which I’m certain we have somewhere.

So i don't like

• the experience of putting the bottle in
  
• they're so fucking tight, i know i can bend them but w/e
  
• the way the end of the 'finger' seems to rise off the line of the side of the bottle, as shown in the picture
  
• fickleness
  
  

I like Jai Hindley, but for leaving Bennett out of the team I'd prefer to see Bora do absolutely nothing at this tour

I like its retro cool look, like an old Sony ghetto blaster

Outstanding. Sounds a little black mirror too. I like him for going in on the detail there about what is a fairly bleak dream. Bravo.

Neilson Powless's weird dreams

More on this for those of us in an office today please?
