What is the purpose of doing something like this?

The smaller radius bit makes it easier to get the wheel on in the first place. The fatter inner bit holds the wheel accurately in place once you've got it on.

Definitely liking the use of Pink Floyd's "Time" in the ITV4 coverage.

Because he rode like his wife, who hasn't ridden a bike in 12 years. And now you can get offended on her behalf.

Not good enough. She should be offended on my behalf, as I feel offended.

They must have a wireless tag system for frequent users. Might provide a tactical advantage.

Yes, but not this year. No weekend spare until mid October, and I think it'll be too late by then. Next year, hopefully.

Same team, same surname. Close enough. Ship it.

Coo, LFGSS road trip to Switzerland weekend. I'm driving over on the 2nd. Driving back on the 3rd though, so no PDS for me. Just a weekend of 1300 miles of driving.

Indeed. As Jim Jeffries pointed out, the good thing about muskets as you have a hell of a long time to calm down while you're loading one.

The Coax connector works very nicely with the adaptor block - you fit the adaptor block on the spade terminals on the hub, and the Coax connector fits into that. You can solder the Coax connector into place after you've run the wires through the fork. That's what I've done.

That's what you get for treating a constitution written a long time ago in a completely different context as if it's written on tablets found on Mount Sinai.

They are, but given the choice of 60s sports cars for £150k I'd prefer an AC Frua 428. Came close to buying one of them about 17 years ago for £20k. Rather regret not having done so now! It would have been a better investment than using it to increase the deposit on my house, which is what I ended up doing instead.

Yep, it's lovely, but even if I had £150k to blow on a classic sports car, I wouldn't be buying an E-type. They're nice, but they're not that nice.

Could be worse. Cycliste's employer, many years ago, was offering a property for sale deep in the Swiss forests. No leccy, no running water, no vehicular access, and a hike of many hours to the nearest road. Nice views though, apparently.

Given the front indicator location that looks like a Series 1 so about £150k for a good coupé. More for a rag-top. Even more if it's an early flat floor model.

And it's for sale due to an unpaid £300 bill.

With mine it's mostly sparrows. The starlings try to feed from the hanging bird feeder but they're too big. Doesn't stop them from trying though.

I do need to an a cage to the top of the bird table to keep the wood pigeons off though. They can hoover up bird seed like there's no tomorrow.

Birds are hard to attract though.

I'm currently getting through half a kilogram of bird food a day. Well, I'm not, but the birds are. Lots of pleasant bird song from the back garden, but if it carries on like this they're going to bankrupt me...

I'm working on attracting ground beetles to predate the slugs. Not going well. Need more wood stumps.

I've adopted the approach of encouraging hedgehogs in an attempt to deal with the slugs - 3 hedgehog houses and a rather natty Hedgehog Cafe watering/feeding station. Seems to be working. There are definitely hedgehogs living in the garden, and there appear to be some juveniles which I assume is the product of all the hedgehog heavy breathing from earlier in the year.

Yep, that always gets me too, particularly on the paler coloured cars. It's like it's got a detachable hardtop and windscreen.

Leave 'positive' feedback but explain what a dick he is in the comments. Seems to be the usual approach.

Vloggers never die. They just move to TikTok.

What they used to do at races like Paris Roubaix where they're using non-sponsor-correct tyres is just black out any marks or names with a black marker. Trickier to do with FMBs and Dugasts where the name is printed on the sidewalls, but they'd still give it a go.

You don't have to use the button cells. You can still wire up the shifters inthe traditional way and run them off the main battery. The 8170 and 9270 series levers can be used either wired or in wireless mode.

I'd imagine it's the same for the Tourmalet

It is. No really prolonged hard braking on either.

For an 11 speed cassette and mechs, yes. You might have to adjust the limit screws and indexing, but the spacing is close enough that it'll work fine.
