    I’d worn out my Petzl, so much that the better 1/2 got me a newer one, for which I then got the shockingly expensive Petzl rechargeable triple battery. Invaluable, even more as my long sightedness gets worse.

    I have seen motorway programmes and milk is not good environmentally, can’t have it just going into ditches and drains. More disruption for the clean up.

    Surely just wait until you’ve watched the highlights, then fill your boots, much as I do in the month of July.

    It’s a little more random if the result gets headlines in the month of May or August.

    I’m also to cheap to pay to watch live F1, so I avoid scrolling down the guardian’s website or watching BBC’s news. Ch4 news don’t report on the result as it’s often on just after.

    Presumably hydraulics?

    Air in the system, a good bleed often a good fix.

    Why it gets better after a while is a mystery.

    When my need bleeding, it’s either bubbles in the system, mostly at the pistons, or the hygroscopic nature of the DOT fluid, meaning a flush.

    There were big rumours middle of last year that Lezyne were going to release Pro Plugs, essentially mushrooms, that seem to be common in the motoring world, but of course cycling specific. Keep looking but nothing since the press release stage.

    Hutchinson do a more

    Hutchinson do a more permanent than anchovies repair kits for tubeless.

    I got the MTB version, though I only ever had one hole to use it on, but being a flexible super glue based kit, the moment I use it the tube of glue will start to go off, so haven’t tried It yet, the singular hole was sealed almost permanently by my one one only anchovie fix.

    My bars are 660mm wide, definitely not wide for today’s mountain bikes.

    And of course that’s an advisory lane, so offers no advantage whatsoever.
