I do not believe that Santa could ever be an audi-###ker.
Current TV ad.
And why would a self driving car ever need to be massively overpowered?
And would the indicators still appear to be malfunctioning?

Just because I had always wanted a Kona.

The rhombidish ones. Kona put them on some of their top end MTBs, I reckon someone had insisted on Vs, the shop Cycology in Crowthorn, gave them to me as I was moving up to Birmingham.
I had to make my own straddle cables out of 2mm brake cable (difficult enough to find, the XT braided one was better than the standard twist) filing down the perpendicular barrel to a smaller in line one.
The rears were always easier to set up, for some reason, and once I’d fitted the brake booster to the front, it could take many frustrating hours to get those right. There were occasions I would have to give up, set up the Good Bike for the commute and try again later in the week once I’d built up a bit more will to try some more.
Pop the springs out and bring
Pop the springs out and bring the arms together with an elastic band. Adjust the pads with that bit of pressure, then tighten.
Now my Curve cantis, took about a decade to get really good and develop a bit of a system, and I had to fettle them a lot to get anywhere near the best out of them. But my bike shop gave them to me, and they looked so cool, and done right, they did have more power than the Shimano units they replaced.
But looking after the
But looking after the drivetrain, no matter how tiresome, is the job that brings the most benefit.
My commute can be especially filthy, and used to sometimes require a nightly wipe down, with a deeper clean at the weekends. Otherwise noisy and bad shifting would result.
Now with my rohloff set up, it’s a lot less essential and far quicker, but the start of the week was so wet that I did have to do my first midweek clean and lube this week.
Got the mud tyres out, to get them nice and round on Wednesday, but by Thursday it had started drying up. So not quite yet.
So, I’m going to add a job that I really could do without, trying to get the old dried on rubber solution off tubeless tyres. And there is a lot of surface on my 27.5+. And fitting tubeless. Fitting tubed was never fun and joy filled, but was relatively quick and easy, I’m not looking forward to fitting the mud tyres.
I have never fitted Marathon’s.
Anything to do with spokes,
Anything to do with spokes, that’s a job for the LBS. Even there most novice mechanic will possess more skill in this than I will acquire.
Good find.
Good find.
Looks perfect for my very rare torquing needs.
And might give me a bit of a feel for my very strange torx 12 Rohloff shifter attachment.
Who’d have thought driving
Who’d have thought driving down Deep Ford Lane was a great idea when many regions have had double November’s rainfall already.
El Nina year, met office predicting cold snap in November and flooding in February.
The stink that the morning
The stink that the morning commute generated in my endura neoprene gloves last week makes me not want to think about the one that a pair of shorts might get to.
I have often considered the weirdness that are RainLegs.
