Ta. Given my somewhat lax cleaning and chain changing regime, a sram red cassette might undo itself and run off to a more considerate owner...sungod said:
pm'd youhopkinb said:Where are all the cassettes? I want an 11 speed sram 11-28, not too fussed if it's rival or force. Stock levels are zero. I prefer the sram over the shimano as it goes 19-17-16-15 in the middle of the block, whereas shimano goes 21-19-17-15.
a lot of stuff seems out of stock in uk, i've been searching eu sites and picking up parts for now/future whenever the pricing is ok
once travel is easy/regular again, i think i'll be getting eu chums to order and collecting when i/they visit (shh!)
I'm assuming the extra dough means lightness rather than durability in less than perfect conditions?0 -

The youth of today, eh...just booked in for my second jab next week. That means I'll have max protection in time for the indoor pub seasontlw1 said:Broken sleep thanks to jab but feel ok, so will probably go for a gentle run followed by the pub later
Still hoping I'll get my first one sometime this year.0 -

I need new cassettes soon so might try Germany/France.sungod said:
i'm currently testing buying from france to see if that is also vat free
If it's not VAT free do you pay VAT + huge parcelforce/RM handling fee?
items up to 135 pounds, the eu retailer charges vat and pays to the uk it via the system - individual eu retailers need to be set up to do this, presumably why some gave up on selling to uk
above that value the eu retailer must not charge vat, instead the vat is due on import, plus any duty, plus a processing fee from the carrier
afaik eu countries were ready to enforce this for uk-->eu sales on 1/1/2021
but the uk government failed to get things ready and has been pushing the dates further back, some checks won't be in place until 2022
result is that uk consumer buying from the eu for more than 135 pounds may result in zero vat at point of sale, and zero vat/duty/fee on import
for the cassette i bought, the customs declaration attached to the package was correct, they hadn't gamed the system by fiddling value, nothing dodgy simply what the uk government chose to allow
my guess is it'll be a coin toss what happens for some time

Might even be worth the EUR 200 odd. I do actually have a surfeit of chains.sungod said:

Where tf have you been MF? I want an explanation.
Threatening clouds. Meh. Will pedal and curse Thor.
Would have gone earlier but Mrs P went into Morrissons and mysteriously disappeared for an eternity and came out light.
Not even a bottle of Chablis.
doing some boat stuff and getting sandy, now home for a couple of weeks then away, home, away, home, away. Waiting for confirmation (or not) of something in eastern europe then Scotland.
tbh, getting v bored at the moment and need a change of scenery.....The camera down the willy isn't anything like as bad as it sounds.

Evening folks,
Busy day of wfw, pleasant enough wobble to and fro. Lots of mad dog action in the park. Saw a nesting swan. Got home and had the new element fitted and the oven on within 10 minutes which is a definite win.
Better sort H³'s headset this weekend as he's making nearly as much noise as it is😂
Stevo and I will be jabbed next Friday, different venues as it doesn't sound like he's moving to Kingston. We'll have to meet for drinks of the vaccinated when possible.0 -

Went for a walk with family earlier across Banstead Common. We see helicopters overhead daily (we seem to be on some sort of flightpath), however today we saw 2 Apache gunships, which isn't normal.0

Hopefully it'll arrive this weekend V. I only ordered today. Will keep you posted.
Would love you to try my espresso and the product of the pizza oven! Mrs H³ is doing a batch of dough.
She's out, I'm watching Keith Floyd.

I have heard and I have good reason to believe that the cross over in Campagnolo between price and durability is Chorus.sungod said:

That's next door's front door....she's moved out, but has kept the house, lets us park on the drive if there's no spaces available - says it makes it look like there's someone still living there.seanoconn said:

We try not to unless we have to - the tank really doesn't fit and as you say, takes up half the pavement...
Plenty room in my front garden - you could kip in the asgard if it wasn't full of bikes.0
