Part two will just be "put it in the bin"
Also I dissed the fellow X dripper a couple of pages ago. I've been messing around with it more lately and I'm sorry to say it's actually really good. Fuck the proprietary filters though I just smash v60 ones in there. My repeatability is down but the coffee is good.

Thanks, this looks nice, bit like the "Circe" tandems that I see around here sometimes.

I had my front QR come completely loose whilst riding on rough terrain and nothing happened so I don't care.
But honestly...is anyone riding this weekend? I'm back to thinking about what longer trips I might want to take this year. Was thinking about Second City Divide but it's quite long and a part of the country I've spent enough time in. Have been wondering if I could modify this stuff https://www.komoot.com/collection/968956/the-lincolnshire-wolds-to-the-norfolk-coast-cycling-from-hull-to-fakenham to include a few gravel tracks, the lincolnshire wolds are meant to be really nice.

My sister is looking to retire her Pashley which has been fine for cycling about leicester/toting kid number 1 around, but has also proved quite heavy, annoying on hills, etc. It got her into cycling and she loves it a lot but she thinks she needs something else.
Kid no2 is en route so she won't be riding for a while, but I'm already expected to be able to consult on what should replace the pashley. I've no idea. I suspect 6 grand front loaded e cargo will be quite a tough sell over the already extant 03 plate toyota yaris and I don't quite understand how they would store such a thing (I guess lean to in the front garden + ground anchor?)
Are more traditional style town bikes (with or without motor assist) "not worth it" or... I don't know. How do people work out what e-bike they should get? I feel like there's a bunch of questions that need to be answered but I don't even know what they are. Has anyone made a flow chart?

Anyway, now that we've done thru axle flat mount argument what's the weather like this weekend, anyone going out? Last weekend before the holy month of Ramadhan so I can't be bothered knowing I won't ride for another month afterwards but the verges by my house look pretty dry which normally mean the trails will be OK.

Would be great but I don't see it happening personally. TA definitely here until ta boost takes over.
Flat mount only causes crazy price hikes on steel frames or something like that and most frames in the future will be carbon or alu to offset the weight of batteries and motor etc so it's also unlikely to get bounced
-
crazy to think that if we'd just got together and resisted thru axles and flat mount we'd all be able to get 700 x 50 clearance frames with full carbon forks for 500 quid instead of 1400?
new page so I've added a link to a review
