Wow ok might pm you for a friend

Agreed big fan and ex-owner of CDA but are there any actually available?

Thanks I’m definitely in the function over form camp. Those bike porn nonces freak me out.

More wondering about the integrity of an adapter which adds another link in the chain as it were

Another point of failure

I’m switching out some old post/IS mount forks

My new forks are flat mount

I have a hope Rx4 post mount caliper and the appropriate adapter

I also have a sram force flat mount caliper

Which should I use? I prefer the Hope as I have a sram flat mount as the back brake, and I think the Hope has more stopping power, but is the adapter a compromise I don’t need?

I hate it when some stupid unprofessional motherfucker arrives on a conference call 10 minutes late, seizes the initiative to filibuster all the stuff discussed in the ten minutes prior to their arrival until the call ends

Yep this. I had one for snowboarding in the 90s for £35 from TKMaxx.
I then bought trousers for £20

I’m in two minds about Nirvana.
I had a tape of bleach which I liked a bit, then suddenly binged about two days before Nevermind. I hammered Nevermind and by the time unplugged came out, I was over them, so this is almost new to me now. His voice is great, his guitar tone is grim, should have played a beat up nylon string guitar.

But if you are talking grunge cover versions...I think the Afghan Whigs created a genre with this

Joan Baez seems to pitch it right.

No I hadn’t heard these cheers!
I’m not surprised you dug out some more pines

Went Down a bit of a rabbit hole with the song: in the pines/where did you sleep last night?/Black Girl

It’s a composite of at least 2 folk songs and has been dated as far back as 1840, but elements are probably far older.
There are various themes; a destitute woman, a jealous husband, a concerned lover/friend/parent/sibling, possessive pimp, . Technological progress and a big train, a corrupt politician, an industrial accident, murder, a yearning to escape.
The emphasis of the themes seem to be drawn along class and racial lines.

You will probably know this version

Leadbelly variation under the title of “Black Girl” the emphasis changes

I think the way for students to go is to talk about the stuff that is sensitive to the University Industry; huge pay disparity between the teaching staff and senior management, corporate interests, unsavoury investments which alumni turned out to be terrorists or nonces.
See how long it is before the deplatforming appears

What kind of time investment is 20000 steps a day?!

For me 5k is 10,000 steps so however fast you run a 10k

It was monumentally underwhelming, would have fit on a monopoly board. It’s was all in the estuary accent delivery “foamendge”

Bloke at art college with me made a replica from sponges
Behold Foamhenge!

Kevin mcloud takes 3 seats on a busy commuter train to spread out and bray into a phone.

News of the World. on Netflix, Tom Hanks Western. Has a Jimmy Stewart feel it’s light but nice. Greengrass does good cowboys

I have a set of post mount juintech R1 to sell :). They were ok, better than spyres but not as good as full hydro

Yeah I’m in Bath

Not sure if Tom is doing steel bikes now..seems to be 3D printed titanium alchemy these days

Cable discs are ok, not the best but usually good enough. I have an arthritic thing in my fingers so hydro’s help because I’m not obliged to squeeze the hell out of the brakes if I really need to stop.

Totally agree about tapered fork

Brother do a straight steerer fork for reasonable money

Flat mount are the new standard

You can easily find an adapter to put a post/IS mount caliper on a flat mount fork, but not the other way round.
So if you want a modern hydro disc groupset you need a flat mount fork.

Thru axle...no idea though, seems a little excessive for road/gravel but that’s what my replacement forks came with

I had my sturdy built around a pair of those forks, love the bike. But...should have built it with thru axle, flat mount tapered forks with a bit more clearance

I have a work around in the pipeline but it’s a regret

WTF is on ITV Hub that is worth watching?

You get the hub you deserve I guess

Is that covered under warranty?
