In one of the recent Ken Block videos, now he's sponsored by Audi, he drives their (de-tuned) S1 Evo and their Group S car back to back

In all the image results for "Brompton World Championship" the bikes with S bars look to also be running the more curved S stems. I think M stem with S bar = hella short reach.

This is my debate, i feel like i remember people swapping the stem to get the front end low, but the M type stem loses the forward bend and would ruin the reach for me.

I think there is also pre and post 2017 M type stems which are different lengths

What is the mod the Brompton racers make to get the super low front end?

M-type stem with S-type bars?

A friend of mine has bought himself a Model 3 Performance Pack. He brought it round to mine so I can put some carbon trims on he’s got.

Of course I had to road test it afterwards, pretty impressive really although I couldn’t own one until they make a station wagon

Mother of God

I got my VS's in the post today (Yay)

Now to start the break-in journey (Boo)

I bought some gold speedlines a while back with the intention of re-painting them white, but i was surprised how well they looked if i'm honest

I don't know if i agree about this red / blue thing. My favourite gold wheeled subaru i would actually want is a version 2 WRX STI RA in white

Bet you can't wait for the wifi brakes, although they'll be Sram and not yellow

Brexitdome maybe?

I prefer to shorten my bolts on my lathe

i believe actual Heli Tape is 1 3M MOD grade product, but you can buy it in small quantities from JRA, but it's sold out.

Alternatively i think this is the same stuff:

After doing my first weekend away in the Passat with a dog and a baby -

Should I get the low profile Thule Edge cross bars or the raised type with a foot pack?

which roof box should i buy?

In the end i went for the normal VS - I think i prioritise edging over smearing and volumes so the VS is (hopefully) the better choice

Yeah true. There is only one guy who does resoling in NZ though so he may not have a huge choice of rubber!

Interesting, i was tempted to get the softer shoe (I liked LS Futuras over the Solution when i tried them at a demo day) but maybe the longevity is something to consider.

I do find the VSR more aesthetically pleasing though

Cool, that's actually good to hear because Instinct VS / VSR are the shoes on my list.

Do you find the sizing the same on the instinct to the vapour?

I never got on with my five tens really, they never fit my arches that well and I always had no confidence on small foot holds. I guess the problem is because I never felt like they really fit, I don’t know how to define what a good fit is if that makes sense?

I am sort of stuck with a scarpa or la sportiva shoe as that’s basically what’s available locally.

I looked at vapour V because they seem like a sensible moderately aggressive shoe for an intermediate boulderer like me. I guess an alternative would be a miura but I can’t find a pair to try on.

I tried on a 43 vapour V which felt decent as far as I could tell, no dead space in the shoe and no hideous discomfort really.
I could probably get into the 42.5 to make the heels a bit more snug and cover off any stretching but I’d be risking them being too small as I’ll have to order them from overseas

I'm about to embark down the rabbit hole of replacing my climbing shoes after my five tens are worn out.

Thinking of going for Scarpa Vapour V, has anyone experience with those?

Tempted to go for solutions or futuras this time but my fitness has dropped off a bit and i think they write a cheque i probably can't cash at the moment

Frosty yesterday

Depends on your mileage, i had done under the predicted mileage at the end of my PCP so the car was worth more than the balloon payment at the end. I bought it outright and used it for a year until I left the country and then sold it for the same price as the dealer had offered me to trade in

doesn't the minimods kit come with a sturmey archer 3sp indexed thumb shifter?

How do you only get the XTR to click 3 times? Does anyone know the S2L pull ratio?

that's a Skoda PCP. You can normally change the deposit / balloon payment values to suit your repayment schedule if i remember correctly.

I originally bought my Fabia estate on a PCP but iirc i put down like 1% up front and then paid 180/month for 3yrs and had a 6k balloon payment at the end.

I also had 3yrs free servicing and some other stuff included

Christ that's a hell of a wound hey. I hope it heals nicely for her.

I'd probably go for the 100k one if the car is generally better condition and has coherent service history
