That’s all well and good, but what about the cheap Aldi washing up liquid?

The frame is more compliant than a used Shimano Ultegra crank

Purely decorative calipers, I’m afraid.
Incidentally, the tyres are the biggest tyres that LEGO has manufactured.

Just in case you’re not aware, but a lot of people visit Road.cc for the “wisdom” in the comments under the articles. With the new website, it seems that commenting is made more difficult and this is going to reduce the amount of engagement with long-time visitors. When the number of comments drops off, I guess you’ll see the amount of traffic dropping off too, which I guess is not what you actually want.
I recommend that you fix the commenting quickly as it’d be a shame to see Road.cc disappear just because of a borked upgrade.

Looks like the IMG tags don’t work now in comments. They did a few days ago, so I don’t know if that’s by design.

Huh, just discovered that once a comment thread goes 4 deep, you can’t reply to the comments.

Okay, after giving the site redesign a few days to settle down and for me to get used to it, I really don’t like the new look. There’s too much whitespace which makes it more awkward to read the comments. The lack of comment quoting and editing is a negative too.
I don’t like the change to the “Latest Comments” – I preferred it when it showed only the latest comment on each of the more recent threads/topics. That made it easy to read the most relevant articles, whereas now there’ll be multiple links to the same article due to it having the most recent comments and other articles will fall off the carousel.

Micronised carbon is a better lubricant for scales as it won’t gum it up after a time.
