    Siliconslave's how to make espresso thread

    I'm actually looking for an upgrade at the moment. I have an ESAM2800 B2C and have been watching too much of the Hoff and reading too many pages on here...! I'm currently getting 18g in, 40g out at about 15 seconds on the finest grind setting and am fully aware I can't expect any more from the...

    What watch do you wear?

    Bought the Ti strap for my Tissot a few months ago. Swapped out the orange rubber for this. So much lighter and comfortable.

    Do I need a new cassette?

    Purchased a new cassette and that has fixed the skipping problem. Haven't touched the gears as they still index fine with the like for like cassette. Obviously a very worn chain has also worn the cassett causing the new chain to jump teeth on the old worn cassette. F0RDIE.

    Do I need a new cassette?

    I measured the old chain with the new one, measured twice and cut once lol definitely same number of links and like I said, the chain wasnt slipping on the old one. Which makes me think it's a cassette issue as they've both worn together. The chain doesn't slip off any of the gears, front or...

    Do I need a new cassette?

    No, he didn't. In fairness the ride seemed fine before I decided to replace the chain. It's only a Carrera Virtuoso but at £50, if I have to put £100 into it I still wont loose any money reselling.

    Do I need a new cassette?

    Just got a second hand road bike really cheap (£50) from one of my mates who upgraded. I used my chain checker and the chain was very very stretched / worn. Got a replacement chain and fitted it no problem. Went out on the bike and it feels like the chain is jumping / skipping. If the chain was...

    How do you mean? If I run a speed test in all areas I have wireless devices and get great speeds (+200mbps) why would I have any other potential speed issues?

    Router vs Cheap mesh?

    I have an ethernet cable with the electrics from the front bottom corner of the house (where the hub sits) to a bedroom which is slap bang in the middle of the house. Can I disable the hubs wifi (not put into modem mode) to keep the ethernet ports working and have an access point run the wifi...

    Router vs Cheap mesh?

    I have 350mbps with Virgin, speed it spot on from the hub. I have a set of wireless powerline adapters which are ok but I have to have them with a different wifi name otherwise I get dropouts and "connected with no internet access" issues. I can get wifi all over the house from the SH3 but it's...
