cheers from this side of pond and thanks

@@markusseppala6547 if you are getting a replacement arm I suppose, not sure how much left / right calibration maybe affected???

Using just left sided powermeter right side doesn't affect it.

@@Vibechips thanks it is, wine will be back properly!

@@chrisweber7460 that’s always a good day!

@@donwillis9694 Thanks, it’s good to be back!

ebay! it was originally going to be a template to make my own with exact colours of the frame but it just seemed to work as is, so …

they made too much noise to sell sadly

mushroom effect is when the tyre extends out wider than the rim, like the top of a mushroom. If you get the right tyre / rim widths you can get them parallel and a smooth(ish) transition from tyre to rim

here you go, have not done more sadly but this is the route: dashboard.hammerhead.io/s/xRkPvdPT

At the title says, can you get “decent” coffee, not good coffee; so yes, good is probably a step (or two) up from the decent of the title… and kind the point. However what amazed me is that with off-the-shelf supermarket coffee and a supermarket level espresso machine the result was decent, and to be brutally honest way better tha pretty much any chain coffee shop espresso using way better parts and raw materials. It was not astringent, had an ok crema that lasted more than a minute and could go for a bike ride after 3-4 of them and not feel like I had drunk the acid blood of the aliens in the film alien, which all the local coffee shops with the exception of one 20 mins away in the main town, charge good money to serve: Decent!

yep

thx! since found baking soda and hot water, but will try your suggestion!

Which brand do you use?

@@Vixen1525 They're just the cheap brand that came on the bike, all they say on the side is Hang Zhou rubber factory

have got a carbon one from ali express to play with as well now ;)

it depends what for - for convenience, definately built in is better, but for reliability and accuracy of the actual GPS signal the GLo2 is on another level as a dedicated GPS, with dedicated cpu and memory to just GPS data processing, bigger external antennas dedicated to GPS vs. a phone where many, many functions are prioritized for CPU and memory allocation (like phone, screen, etc) way higher than GPS processing and GPS is essentially just a support function with an antenna where is fits, after first priority of cell antenna followed by wifi antenna... hence the fact that I keep the glo2 in the vehicle for like when I get out of the Channel Tunnel or on the motorway and my phone GPS loses signal, I turn on the GLo2 and it's back. Also in dense urban areas Waze can often no know wheich way its even pointing on a street - turn on the glo and boom... Ultimately the phone GPS is not a dedicated GPS but a support GPS, just like the grill in your microwave isn't a dedicated oven, etc. and the results reflect this: medium.com/@importanttech/we-tested-mobile-gps-gnss-accuracy-and-found-some-surprising-results-b9ec35873e2e

thx

yep one of the long form videos of it, will paste below when I find it

ah so there are two levels still. I changed the basic wheels on by base e5 diverge to basic hunts and a big difference. hydro is way forward if you can

@@ChristianBorrman Carbon hunts or alu hunts? I am also browsing for Vision, Mavic, DTSwiss and Winspace. Not sure if I really need basic carbon or simple alu wheels are good enough. 🤔

i would double check with specialized

@@ChristianBorrman i had the spring model and got the 2.0 hydraulic as a warranty replacement.

i got the Merida Silex 4000 - its just amazing. I would highly recommend getting the Carbon over Aluminum - it help absorbing a lot of the bumps while riding on gravel roads, the bike feels nimble to control and the cable runs internal all the way to the rear derailleur along the chain stay . My only gripe with it is that it comes with 2x10 setup, and with a 46/30 crank I usually ride on the higher gears ( 8,9,10th gear) and very often spin out. This eventually cos more wear and tear of those rings as compared to the middle rings. I have now upgraded the crank to GRX 810 and planning upgrades to make it a 2x11 setup.

its the standard 36t for the EXP ratchet version… all was available when specified… have a 54t on the shelf ready for install! will def do a comparison when I do!

magura mt6? yes 2 bolts + clamp

I do have better machines and had way better ones... however if you read the title, and the text overlay it's about getting a *drinkable* coffee from a basic machine and supermaket coffee - not satisfying shots lol... 2 lots of text explaining all over on a 1 min video jeez ...

🤣😂 it depends… excess is not always a good thing. A well marbled ribeye has more than enough fat to cook well, crust and stay juicy… and without a tonne of butter / salt and with greens you can eat it every day… if you eat a chef’s steak every day ymmv … at the end of the day a steak swimming in butter is like a heavy night out - best enjoyed in moderation!

indeed!

It a very executed wine and good value at standard price

It will be down the line yes, for now it was not planned, but will see if it can be added to perks tomorrow if that's ok?

@ChristianBorrman I really like the sound of your products, I am looking forward to seeing what other products you will bring to the market soon, especially anything carbon fiber based!

@@ChristianBorrman I would certainly be interested if you added an option for just the 'carbon fiber box cubby box' to the IndieGoGo funding page. In this video or another, you say the cubby box will have rounded edges to make it stronger? I like the look of the original square-edged cubby boxes.

@@TheLewismerle yep, don’t worry there will be feedback requested on versions and it won’t be rounded like an airstream just think rounded like elements of the defender (wings, roof) and its dashboard are anyway!

@@TheLewismerle This has now been added! Let me know your thoughts

Thanks for your feedback, however the intro credits clearly say: weights, unboxing & comparison, while showing the boxes on a table, not the outdoors, and nothing in the title either suggests a real world test or anything else you suggest the video should be or could be or wanted it to be. Again, I am sorry the video was not what you wanted, but none of what you mention is not what is written on the tin!

It provided exactly what I needed to know

yep, the first draw is nice, and strong but also quite clean in flavour

thanks for the constructive feedback, please feel free to link to your videos which I can learn from!

Agreed, Roda 1 are in different leagues; roda 1 has had big hitting Bordeaux die hards questioning the meaning of life and universe 🤣😂. I just thought it interesting the feedback in a tasting! thanks for comments, and a bucket if cvne is a good place to be…
