Privacy Badger is a better
Privacy Badger is a better bet than Ghostery (Lite) as it’s made by EFF – one of the most trustworthy organisations around. (I’ve heard rumours that Ghostery ends up selling your info).
Just beyond the Gates of Hell
Just beyond the Gates of Hell, an alcoholic, a womanizer, and a stoner find themselves standing in front of three identical doors. There to greet them is none other than Satan, who tells them a secret method to getting into Heaven: Each man must spend 1,000 years in a room with their greatest vice. If he does so, he will be allowed to enter Heaven. The catch? At the end of the 1,000 year period, if the man asks to be let out of the room, he instead will be trapped inside forever.
The first man, being a lifelong alcoholic, is presented with a room identical to his favorite drinking spot. Some of his old drinking buddies are present, along with infinitely replenishing spirits of all kinds! The first man is ecstatic and, thinking it will be an easy feat, runs inside and slams the door behind him.
The second man, known for being quite the pervert, immediately feels his blood start pumping as the second door is opened. Inside are women of every shape, size, color, you name it. Every woman this man has ever fantasized about is here, ready to obey his every command. Without a word the second man rushes inside, closing the door behind him.
Now the third man, having been a cannabis connoisseur for most of his life, stands in awe of the marvel before him. Inside his room is a forest containing every strand of marijuana conceivable; the shrubs are the most beautiful green hues, ebitting the stickiest of smells; the ground is littered with the highest quality nuggs, the dirt is hash rocks and kief, and the trees are actually twenty foot tall plants. The stoner can’t wait to get eternally stoned and happily jaunts inside his room.
1,000 years pass…
Satan, being a man of his word, decides to check on each of the men. He opens the door to the first man’s room, only to find the most disgusting mess he had ever seen: blood, booze, and bodily fluids create a disgusting miasma throughout the room. Broken glass litters the floor, and the man’s once-friends lie dead in various states of decay. After searching for a while, Satan happens upon the man, shrivelled up and nestled in a pile of bottles, crying and bleeding profusely. The man’s wracking sobs stop as his trembling lips work to form a sentence: “P-please… Get m-me out of here…”
Satan, a man of his word, reminds the man of the condition upon which he was imprisoned, and having broken his end of the bargain, the man is trapped inside eternally.“The second man must have done better than that one”, Satan thinks to himself while opening the second door. Moments later, hundreds upon thousands of people come flooding out, men, women, children of all creeds, along with the scents of human waste and burnt flesh. Eventually Satan sees the man he locked in here riding the wave of people. “Get me out of here!” The man screams, and Satan seals the door forever.
The third door is all that remains now; as Satan opens it, he sees the stoner meditating in the center of the forest, surrounded by a pool of tears. The forest had been untouched for the full thousand years. Satan is understandably quite confused! The stoner opens his eyes in disbelief and runs over to Satan, and shaking him by the collar he says: “Do you have a lighter, man?!”

With the features, it could be a good idea to include “weight” and also compliance with different lighting regulations e.g. StVZO

I dont think that aero bikes make that much difference as the big aerodynamic problem is sat on top of the bike.
Thanks very much.

I’ve bought branded (Duracell
I’ve bought branded (Duracell etc) 2032 batteries from Amazon and they’ve worked well. I’ve also bought no-name ones from PoundLand and been disappointed with them.
I wouldn’t bother with a battery tester as you can’t really tell the performance of a battery without significantly discharging it – cheap battery testers will most likely just determine the voltage across a load which doesn’t really tell you anything apart from whether it works or not.
My preference is to pick a brand, use the battery and if it doesn’t last very long, but a different brand next time.
Just found an online
Just found an online calculator: https://www.bergfreunde.eu/chain-length-calculator/
Plugging in some numbers and it works out at 2 links different (assuming the default 400mm chainstay).
If you want some more detail on chain lengths, the Park Tool website has a good page on it: https://www.parktool.com/blog/repair-help/chain-length-sizing
Personally, I tend to put the chain on the biggest chainring and biggest sprocket and pull the chain so that the derailleur is a little bit off its maximum position and then eyeball how many links to remove. I tend to err on the more links side as it’s easier to remove an extra link than it is to add one (I don’t like the idea of putting in extra quick links), and it doesn’t usually cause problems having an extra link or two or three.

I had a quick look on Wiggle but couldn’t find anything suitable.
If I were you, I’d go for buying pre-built wheels as they tend to be cheaper than buying the separate components. Also, you’ll have more choice if you’re prepared to go for centre-lock, though that’ll involve buying new rotors.
A pair of Prime RP50s. I
A pair of Prime RP50s. I replaced the rear one last weekend and found it quite easy to take off the old one and put on a new one with some decent tyre levers (Bar Fly Air levers). I tried inflating with my old Joe Blow track pump and it seated first time without even adding any sealant.
Yesterday I tried to solve an issue with my front wheel – it sounds like I’ve got some polymerised latex balls rolling around my rim. I took off the tyre and spent about half an hour shaking the wheel which seemed to remove some, but not all of the critters. Again, the tyre came off and went back on easily, but it took me a couple of attempts to inflate as I had some air leakage around the valve (I replaced the o-ring as it looked a bit cracked). I ended up using my Beto tubeless inflator to seat the tyre and then put in some sealant.

I’ve had a tubeless GP5000 28mm on my rear wheel through the winter and it’s been flawless. I’ve just recently replaced it (something like 8 months wear) and put one on the front too.

I don’t see an issue with slowing traffic for an hour. Traffic jams do that regularly anyway.
