    Pressure washed paving. Deck scrubbed with soapy water, hosed down and brushed. That's me done for the summer, apart from a bit of light sweeping from time to time.

    ...Self stacking or litter picking seems like a good move at the minute.

    Self stacking as in the SoC model loading up on the steroids et al?

    Good ride ridden. Heavy headwind out, but lo, on the return leg plus having partaken of a gel, zooooooommmm! Been low on rides this past month, bit of cba plus spells of pants weather. So upslopes a bit of a struggle. With this mini heatwave next week plus Easter weekend, Must Get More In.

    Late start, because I didn't get to sleep till 1am for no good reason. Had a breakfast treat though of some very *very* good fruit loaf toast. They charge a motza for it, but every once in a while it's worth it.

    Dog was unhappy today as the morning walkies was short and brisk.

    Took convertible out for the day, a drive up north to catch up with a few others for lunch at an "historic" pub. Ambience - not too bad. Food - not too good.

    Weather was nice going up, roof down and quite pleasant. Hailstorm and windy rain on the way back, not so much fun.

    Motza?
    Etymology unknown. Translates to... "a lot, especially waaaaay more than you would expect or consider reasonable..."
    A bit like the jeans I just tried on, was not impressed then looked at the price before exclaiming "how much???"

    grrrr, the stronglight chainring has a 0.25mm recess around the bolt holes on the clamping face, presumably this recessed area is big enough for a standard spider, but the edges of the recess foul on an srm spider, the chainring distorts when bolts are tightened

    It was the right way up when I previewed it. Never mind. Yep definitely tricky decision to make. Go from easy going removing knives from my back and suffering with stupidity and idiots or go for fast pace headaches and more money oh and nights.

    My advice, fwiw, is if you don't need the extra money, don't take on the extra headaches and the stress that comes with it.
    Plus, only you know how suited to nights you are and whether the impact to your quality of life is acceptable.

    I have a 36T TA inner ring that might just fit. It's new.

    Did a nice turbo session this morning, had a family day to celebrate the 8yo’s impending 9th birthday. Currently doing my best to ignore ant and dec while posting this.

    Oxoman - grass isn’t always greener, backstabbing could still happen, but if it’s a job that’ll be more rewarding and the night shifts aren’t off putting then go for it!

    can't make the d/s completely solid - no matter at what pount i point the clip in still have a couple of mm of movement, centre does up, does up, does then whole thing falls apart.

    Utterly confused as have used these cranks before with no issues, only change is to Italian threaded cups.

    Does seem weird. Whack a BB spacer behind one cup perhaps and see if that fixes it? May be that the Hirth joint bolt is bottoming out in the thread in the NDS arm and not fully tight spline lock in there?

    And check the BB shell width. Maybe it’s been faced down a little too far and is not quite the full 68 or 70 mm (for Italian thread I think it should be 70?)

    Grazie mille WS - very much appreciated.

    Problem solved - I gave it a stern talking to, took it all off, put it together again in exactly the same order and now its perfect.

    utterly random and bizarre....

    but again - grazie mille.
