Welcome! You come from a lovely part of the world. I spent the best part of 15 years working in or near Geisenheim. Lived in Wiesbaden, Geisenheim, Martinsthal, Bad Camberg and Frankfurt (twice!). Some great tracks, beautiful scenery and excellent wines!

That's great. I've got a little time: we've got full lockdown here, so I can't even go to my garage to work on my bike - it's stored in a secure building 10 minutes away from my house so doesn't qualify as a necessary journey -> automatic 300€ fine! :cry:

Great! Thanks! Just what I need. But before I leap in and buy one, have you tried it? It's just that Bosch very specifically pointed me towards Magura (for which I need a dealer's account) and Park Tool said they didn't make anything for Bosch other than the Gen 2 tool. (I did email both to ask).

Lovely area. Did the Santana Tandemtreff there a good few years back. Fell in love with Freiburg and wanted to move there. But work kept me in the Rheingau - which was a good second best ;)

Looks like the Rheingau. View from my office window used to be similar... :cry:

This is messing with my brain: the labels on the card and on the grips are at odds. I can't tell left from right at the best of times, but now I'm totally forked! I know, it's April First and you are playing with us! :ROFLMAO:

No Bosch Gen 4 Spider Tools. Park Tool don't make one yet. Please call them and ask them to!

Hi Cyril, I suggest you put the link and details in the Travel Forum: Travel

Give Park Tool a call. I've been in touch with them but they don't seem to want to make one until they've had more interest. Perhaps a few more calls will jog them into action.

Hey @Fivetones , that's my punchline and I demand a link to the source! ;)

Flat rear tyre?

This brought to mind how I found out that my daughter-in-law had the measure of me: d-i-l: "You Westerners, you are really insulting to us Chinese." (d-i-l is from China and had married my son out there a while before they both moved to Britain) me, nervously, because I had barely met her...

I detest rabbit stew... but horse is truly delicious - braise for about 5 to 8 hours, depending on size of joint. It's the traditional New Year's Eve dinner where my family are from (the Ruhrpott). I think I might have just got struck off @Zimmerframe 's Christmas card list. :eek:. (Although...

Thanks for that. Very interesting and I certainly found it helpful. I think we forget that our EMTBs are noisy and we have gotten used to it. This was brought home to me two weeks ago when I collected my road bike for the garage to use in the turbo trainer during the lockdown. The bike was so...

I read that as "Now that certain games are cossplay".... :unsure:

:ROFLMAO: I think you may have mixed up WH (White House) with WHO. I can't find any record that the WHO have done anything other than scream warnings. Can you give me a reference? Edit: Found the reference. January 14th: WHO stated that there was no sustained human to human transmission...

Thought you might be impressed by this chap who lives in a flat without a garden.... https://cope-cdnmed.agilecontent.com/resources/mp4/4/5/1584640864054.mp4

Trouble is... 4 Jan 1999 £100 bought 140€ 23 Jun 2016 £100 bought 131€ 24 Mar 2020 £100 buys 108€ If the euro is going to be worth diddly squat, then all those pictures I see of buying coffee with sheets of toilet paper in Britain will come to pass... :eek:

@Zimmerframe - not sure if you are suffering the same problem as us here in ES, but I have to load the videos directly in YouTube. When I click them in the Forum, I've been getting an error message to say that the vids can't be played.
