Haven’t seen it yet, but The ‘Mauritanian’ is supposedly very good. I’m guessing this’ll be like Tequila laced with broken glass... followed by a chaser glass of Mercurochrome. o_O

You’re the only one I know that rates a movie experience by comparing it to alcoholic drinks. :oops: So if 47 Ronin is a cold beer... and The American is a Whiskey or Brandy... I can’t wait for you to rate the Railway Man... hmmm, perhaps similar to a shot of Spirytus Rektyfikowany?

Let’s make it a triple! Oh come on, don’t tell me you haven’t seen “The American?!” George Clooney isolated in Europe, a slow burn plot, dark alleys, candy tins with mercury filled bullets... trust no one...

^ that’s like riding over a million axe heads with no handles... :oops:

25 years ago?? From what little I’ve seen of you from your riding video uploads, that would make you 10 years old! Far too young to be playing with DVDs! And yes, I too have a wall to wall collection (just two shelves) gathering dust, haha. When I eventually got a 65” 4K flat screen, I started...

I’ve stayed away from watching ‘47 Ronin’ all this time for whatever reason besides getting a whiff of some poor reviews early on. Well, after plodding through The Hobbit film series just recently, my aversion to flying dragons got appeased enough (temporarily) to give ‘samurai Keanu’ a fair...

:giggle:

The Railway Man Slow burn... gut wrenching... if you're into this sort of thing...

So the TV remote was out of reach huh? ;) Have you tried watching the other “chess” movie at Netflix - Innocent Moves?

Man... you must be scraping the bottom of the barrel to have no other movie choice than to persevere watching that through to the end! :D

I have tinnitus. I haven’t noticed it for months until I noticed it one day for whatever reason... then it’s all I hear and it gets louder and louder... until something else grabs my attention. Then it’s gone. We also have a noisy clock at home that drove my daughter crazy when she stayed over...

Oh hang on... saw another uploaded vid... am I watching the same thing? Did it just blow up??

Was it just me or did it land funny on a lean? I thought it was gonna topple over any second. ?

I can't say for sure... internet opinions can only go so far. Everyone has a different idea of what a 'secure' footing feels like, so there's experimentation to be made to attain a good match between pedal and shoe. Maybe a preferred pedal shape has low grip and might require a softer gummier...

Haha yes I remember those. Those "bear traps" look lethal but they actually have very poor grip - until they hit your shins... then all of the sudden they've got plenty of grip skidding down your leg, haha!

Yes too much grip with too gummy soles is very off-putting for me too. When I plant my foot back on, I want to be able to move it in case it landed funny. I can't readjust quickly if the soles are too grippy.

Yes there's a fair amount of technique involved in re-acquainting to go back to flat platform pedals. However, don't underestimate the SHOES you're using - and the flat pedal profiles too (there's a lot of different types and they can make a difference). As far as the flat pedals themselves...

I like the responsiveness of the Yamaha motor on the Giants.

I have the same sentiment... it would be really convenient if we could all pressure wash our eBikes. And, I'm looking forward to the day when we can. Although I have always avoided using pressure washers or water blasters (as advised by my LBS even before eBikes were invented), as this is the...

Haha, steel is REAL! You see, I grew up with the T101 which was later called the T800. It's exactly the same product which has just been rebadged so that the audience won't loose their minds because they can't bear to watch the movie sequel with a product from 'last year's' catalogue. Now...
