Domestic appliances is it today? New elements for the oven for me. Surprisingly easy & a huge ball ache at the same time. Still electric stuff I suppose.

Yeah, how hard can it be? And this isn't an airport, you don't have to announce your departure.

The law is vague on this. Makes you wonder why one of the industrial behemoths with deep pockets & a problem with DJI doesn't test it in court. I can think of a reason or two.

They're normal sealed cartridge bearings but packed with semi solid lube designed to resist water & dirt more than your average bearing. Never used them but I think it couldn't hurt. Any noticeable resistance in the bars would be something you get used to quickly. Also, internally routed...

...The car but I think the gag flopped. ☹️🔫

How much did that cost when you bought it new?

14 years on the lam. I had a good run.

Given the option, I'd probably go for a bunk up on the kitchen counter than schlepping to Wickes to buy a padlock.

Also chuckling at this. Apparently our fault WBD don't meet this guy's exacting standards. So far today across three posts, you've called forum members liars, apathetic & gaslighting bullshitters. Is everything ok at home?

It was the swing arm type. I chucked it & bought a Calvin special.

Still chuckling at this.

Yep, on balance I think it's a good thing, forcing people to think on rather than just smash the Vali/Loic/Jackson buttons & the weekend showed us the talent range is out there.

Otoh I bought a Toopre chain checker & it told me a brand new chain was over 1.5 so swings & roundabouts.

Definitely raises the interest. Long way to go but if last season was all about could JG win five in a row, this year would be great if we get a wide open contest going to the wire.

Rebuilt the leaking lever, now ready to go back on the bike for another 7000 miles. Definitely one of the more fiddly jobs I've done, refitting the lever spring took three you tube tutorials & two hours, most of which was spent looking for the spring.
