    Tubeless is turning into a right faff

    I got one of those, totally satisfied, the blaster release mechanism is much better than the topeak one, can be operated with a pinky. I like to charge it up to just pump my tires up a bit, just flick the switch to start pumping.

    What did you buy your ebike this week?

    A bike hand maintenance stand. My god, does this make things easier, from a to z! Very stable, I am surprised.

    Tyre sealant

    I am a recent tubeless convert, I use Stans cos it looks like it was invented in a shed in Rochdale, I did the first tire seating at the petrol garage, had to do it again, so I got a Milkit booster tank, it sucks big dogs balls, terrible design, so I went to get a bontrager booster pump, I must...

    Here in Switzerland, you can't buy WD-40, so we use AT-4 instead.

    How many tire fills for 16g CO2?

    You are perceptive! I hate pumping, I hate pumps, i hate tubes, I hate the stupid little valves, and I am sure I will come to hate sealant.

    How many tire fills for 16g CO2?

    Do tire inserts (specifically cushcore) reduce tire volume? I assume they are closed cell foam. Does that change the equation significantly? As a tire pumping hater, I think thats the solution for me to get home, cushcores. I installed a oneup edc stem kit, as I am trying to obviate having to...

    What did you buy your ebike this week?

    A Oneup edc v2 stem tool kit. It's an amazing piece of kit, and no more tools in my rucksack. The red fits perfectly with the red bits on my otherwise all black bike, I might get some red valve stems, too round it off!

    Tools tools tools

    Regarding cable housing cutters, I was youtubing whats the best brand of cutter, and stumbled across a video recommending using a dremel with a disc cutter for this purpose, the logic being the cutters always crush the housing, and you inevitably need to shove a pick in the end to get it round...

    Lanyard attachment for Nyon 2021?

    Hi, I read on here some (can't find it using search) where people said they added a lanyard to the unit, to stop it lying off. Is it that tiny slot on the back? I cant get even the thin line from a camera strap in, so I would like it confirmed before I start poking around further edit: so it...

    UK Cyclists may need number plates and insurance...

    A gammon is a daily mail reading, brexit supporting conservative, who is always so apoplectic at anything progressive that they are usually gammon coloured.

    UK Cyclists may need number plates and insurance...

    I see your point, and I stick to the rules scrupulously (well, not on a cm ride obviously). This Shapps scheme is pretty well unworkable anyway. I am resigned to people ignoring the evidence right in front of their faces, so to me CM is largely an enjoyable car free evening which is a right laugh.

    UK Cyclists may need number plates and insurance...

    All this flies in the face of the Thatcherite "get on your bike" ethos, if you can't just get on yer sturmy archer 3 gear with dynamo, and pedal 200 miles to Wigan, for t'job int t'mill. Now it will be get taxed, buy gigantic flappy licence plate, take test, buy goverment approved helmet, then...

    The best thing you can say about Liz "cheese" Truss is, she is not the thickest person in the cabinet.

    UK Cyclists may need number plates and insurance...

    Then you need Critical Mass! I live in Zürich, Switzerland, we have an evening once a month, last friday of the month, where we all go for a little evening ride at 6pm. By all, I mean 3500 riders in April. It's not a demo, just a little bike ride, therefore no permit needed. It's an absolute...

    UK Cyclists may need number plates and insurance...

    This crap comes around every few years/months, along with road tax blather, red light running harrumphing, and pavement pedalling whinging. This is just Grant Sharts trying to raise his profile, and distract from the looming and ongoing disasters bearing down on UK plc. I am from uk, but I live...

    What did you buy your ebike this week?

    Got a nyon 2, which involved a good amount of palaver to install, but the result is pretty good, great navi (with komoot) without pissing around on the phone, surpisingly well thought out construction by bosch, in this age of cutting corners. They won't let you charge your phone, but what you...
