So, they’re trying to enforce the 20mph motorised vehicle speed limit? They should stop wasting tax-payers money and go do their job instead of just wasting time.

I’m not sure I’d trust him to take charge of making the tea (and definitely not coffee). Let”s just hope he releases it as-is without getting it changed first.
There doesn’t seem to be a great deal of profit to be made in any method of getting people to work.Most methods appear to require subsidies of some sort.
I dunno – there’s been a fair bit of money made from selling petrol over the last century or so.

At some point the various media organisations might figure out that cycling isn’t so bad, especially as a means of moving large volumes of people, especially for the commute.
Either that or start making the races so long that the cyclist might start haveing difficulties in winning.
There’s not much money to be made from people commuting via bikes though.

I’ve got the R785 shifters on my bike, but they came with the newer internal battery, so you shoulld be fine with swapping to an internal battery. The “brains” of the Di2 system are with the battery, so AFAIK changing to the internal one is effectively updating your Di2 system which means you can add bluetooth support etc.
I haven’t tried changing the derailleurs for newer ones but I don’t see why they wouldn’t work. No idea about GRX compatibility.

I believe that it’s mainly the hook to hold the tyre bead that a bit different. I can’t say that I’d be able to tell by looking though.
I’ve got some old UST rims on my MTB that have a smooth rim bed and don’t really need rim tape to be airtight, but I think it must add some weight to the wheels which is probably why road tubeless relies on the rim tape instead.
You’re welcome and good luck
You’re welcome and good luck with your fight against the gammons.
We’re actually due to visit San Francisco in April, providing that airports are still functioning, so I was pleased to have an opportunity to search for squirrel related San Francisco imagery.
bloke standed on roadside yesterday on a pair of GP5000. he had puncturd, tubeless didnt seal and we both couldnt get the fecking tyre off.tightest tyre ever, would put me off. you had bother?
No problem at all with mine and I wouldn’t consider myself particularly good with installing/removing tyres – I use tyre levers for both.
The quick fix “anchovy” kits are a good option for tubeless – I had a puncture last year (not in a GP5000TL) that didn’t seal, so got out my dynaracer kit, pushed in an anchovy, re-inflated and cycled off. Total time was about 1-2 minutes.

Like I say, I’m a bit make-blind – maybe because I’m not a driver myself.
If anything, I’m more cautious around work vans and taxis/ubers as they seem to be more aggressive and have a more relaxed attitude to following the rules. Haven’t noticed many issues with SUVs, myself.
My mistake; apologies! Here’s my contribution.The art of sock knitting has gone in and out of favour for decades. Once a popular skill to learn at primary school, not many schoolchildren are taught to knit now.
While there may be no urgent need today to send socks to soldiers, hand-knitted socks still make a lovely gift for a new baby, relative, friend or as a treat for oneself!
Whatever your reason for making socks, these days practicality is key. Time is precious, so it’s important not to waste it knitting something that won’t last, or worse – can’t be used at all! More often than not, it comes down to the choice of yarn, so choose yours wisely using our expert tips. Read on to learn more.
1. Hand-knitted socks need to be hard-wearing so delicate fibres such as silk, cashmere and bamboo are best avoided. They won’t last long and you will soon find holes are starting to appear.
2. Keep your toes cosy by picking a strong fibre blend sock yarn for the winter months. Alpaca, wool or mohair blends will create a snug warmth. You also have to consider aftercare.
3. Socks don’t have to be worn for very long before they need washing and modern living is all about convenience. Constant hand-washing would be very cumbersome, so up the level of washability – and wear – by selecting a wool-mix sock yarn that contains a small amount of man-made fibre (nylon is best).
4. When making your choice of yarn, check the care advice lablel carefully. You need to note washing instructions for yourself and, if you’re gifting the finished article to a non-knitter, they may not realise how beautiful hand-knits need to be treated.
5. A pretty handwritten cardboard label with care advice looks lovely and will give your recipient all the relevant information on how to care for their new gift.
6. Lastly, consider your colours! Pale shades will show dirt quickly so a deep, rich shade is preferable. Self-striping yarns (see picture, above) are great fun and will automatically generate stripes in your knitting as you go, hassle-free!
I’m having a lot of difficulty with knitting
Oops, wrong thread.

That’ll be because there isn’t any.
From time to time in the comments on Road.cc there’s discussions about the relationship between makes of cars and poor driving, so I though I’d put this in the “Tea Stop” category which isn’t necessarily about cycling.
Also, it was an excuse to include a squirrel picture.
Also/alternatively, you could
Also/alternatively, you could try swapping the front/rear tyres to see if it’s anything to do with the tyre. I doubt that it is, though as moving the tyre around the rim should have highlighted any problem with the bead. For the record, I’m running GP5000TLs on a pair of Prime RP50s and didn’t have any issue.
Strange – the only thing I
Strange – the only thing I can think of is that the bead is getting trapped between the bottom of the valve and the rim bed. Maybe making it a bit more slippery would help – a little bit of washing up liquid and water smeared around the tyre bead often helps.
Edit: How about taking out the tubeless valve and popping in an inner tube just to confirm that the tyre and rim can fit together. Then remove the inner tube and try the tubeless option again.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Personally, I tend to be a bit make-blind so I can’t say that I’ve noticed any correlation between makes of cars and drivers.
As an aside, if you’re ever in Munich then make time to see the BMW museum – free to enter and tons of bikes/cars/planes etc.

No image as it’s long gone, but months ago I had many chuckles about a new route planning thing that was offering free subscriptions to people who would evaluate the service in my area. Wonderfully, the text said they were looking for Scottish testes to do this…Were they checking under kilts?
