I imagined something a bit mire like this seen as Beans isn't stateside.

Ha. Found a monastery, with a museum. Mini is moaning. Mission accomplished.0 -
Clear and sunny here, although the sun had plenty of time to rise before we got up. Our resident helper is doing pancakes for brekky, then it's off out to do a few bits n pieces in town."I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0

Sunny here but in the shade thanks to the trees.
Manflu has come back so just a walk rather than a run today. Out in mongleton I mean congleton with friends later - should be fun0 -
Day of mixed meh. Looks like I've sold a bike frame, and perhaps a few components. Hoping to sell at least 2, possibly 3 more frames, and will cherry pick the component bits and pieces to keep and sell the rest if I can.
Bl00dy bike parts obsolescence works both ways - still people who want the "old" technology stuff to maintain their bikes, but limited market for some things. Who buys QR wheels these days for example?

People like me. I buy new though.The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

Bought a 2 year old pair of Fulcrum racing zero's (rim brake) with supposedly shot ceramic bearings for £350. I was the only bidder and that's partly due to people who can't fettle but mainly due to the fact they weren't disc.
Wheels are A1 BTW and the bearings were over stressed. Mehtinks the left collar slowly tightened as it wasn't nipped up properly. Nothing else.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -
Elderly neighbour's daughter (68) was complaining that her extension was playing up. I took the back of the plug off and discovered this:

Yep, no insulation from the stripped outer cable.oxoman said:Oh dear, looks tad rough from here. I'm assuming they'd stripped all the plastic off from the looks of it. 10 out of 10 for bodging if they had.
I guess it's fine if she wanted a random de-fibrillation facility.seanoconn - gruagach craic!1 -
Stopped torturing the family until tomorrow. So an afternoon by the sea. Now a sundowner. Then dinner.

There she goes.

Evening folks,
Reasonably busy day for a Saturday, finished kitchen bits that weren't done yesterday due to extended pub based accident. Been over to the old dear's to do a few jobs there. Now relaxing.
That looks glorious B³. Well done Oxo, looks like fun. Must admit I quite fancy something like that too. Presumably being gravel rather than MTB it wasn't too technical. I think I've said before I used to get funny looks riding off road paths on my CX, now they're all at it.
Well done for saving the neighbours young daughter from electromocution Piña. Was it bought from a shop like that or was a previous bodger trying to kill her?0 -

Not so common for MTB these days though. Would be ok if the hub adapters were readily available, but “out of stock” is normal.pblakeney said:

Dare say road manufacturers would like the same situation. Change forcing new purchases. I’ve said it before, all industries are copying the computer tech model of forced obsolescence.The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
