    I'm not sure if it's a patent thing or SRAM just trying to be different. It was the same on their mechanical groupsets too - the idea that you can use the whole cassette without having to trim the front mech is a great one but it's very hard to pull off with the tolerances available.

    Road Cycling

    I'm currently running 48/32 and 11-36 with every intention of fitting a 44t mountain bike cassette for an event later this year. :D One of the best things for normal cyclists about the move to 12 speed has been the introduction of bigger gears as standard. Unless you live somewhere very flat, I...

    The Indoor Riding/ Zwift/ TrainerRoad etc. Thread

    I think we'll just have to agree to disagree before this thread gets totally derailed.

    The Indoor Riding/ Zwift/ TrainerRoad etc. Thread

    I think I've done an awful job at explaining myself. I'm not saying for a second the turbo is not essential for doing intervals and structured sessions as well as for longer rides when the weather is crappy. Being able to do set durations without interruption is really important. I pretty much...

    The Indoor Riding/ Zwift/ TrainerRoad etc. Thread

    My point is all those muscular challenges are a good thing. Riding without erg teaches you how to pace efforts, how to vary cadence and control your power. Those are all important skills that translate straight to the road. A turbo is a very controlled riding environment and I think that’s both...

    The Indoor Riding/ Zwift/ TrainerRoad etc. Thread

    No, slightly different, let’s say you go for an endurance ride on the road and middle of Z2 power for you is 180w. At points you’re going to be doing 110rpm at 30mph, and at others you might be doing 60rpm at 5mph, and even on the flat you’re constantly microadjusting as the road surface or wind...

    The Indoor Riding/ Zwift/ TrainerRoad etc. Thread

    Erg mode is a really bad idea for training generally, IMO. As people are finding, it means you naturally work at an ideal self-selected cadence/torque which means as soon as you hit the road and your body is challenged by all different terrains, winds and gradients then your fitness just doesn’t...

    Sydney knife attack

    Citation needed. e: what I'm specifically taking issue with here is "women get far more support than men". If your point is women are more likely to seek support than men, then I might agree.

    Sydney knife attack

    The desperation to link this to Islam is tragic. “Not terror related.” “Yes, but it could have been!”

    Why do you need to share that here?

    Strongest plasterboard fixing?

    I’d be tempted to use Corefix if the shelf will carry a reasonable load, at least that puts the weight into the wall behind which feels safer for something like a shelf with more of a lever arm. The other plasterboard fixings are very good with shear force but I’d still worry about them pulling...

    Siliconslave's how to make espresso thread

    I always think I’d love to be a barista one day until the milk comes out. Maybe I’ll open a cafe one day where it’s exclusively black coffee.

    plan for collapse of Thames Water

    If the Government deal with this the same way they dealt with Bulb etc we should riot.

    Family dispute incoming

    Apologies, I missed that. Doesn’t the Land Registry show the price paid rather than the valuation of the house? It’s entirely possible his sister paid something for the house that is less than market value rather it being a gift. Obviously CGT may be due on the difference.

    plan for collapse of Thames Water

    Not at all, but it might solve the issue of where the money can be found for necessary investment if the water companies aren’t paying 10% interest coupons to Cayman.

    Family dispute incoming

    There’s no suggestion the house has been undervalued, merely given away, which is totally fine. We have no idea what his mother’s CGT position was so jumping on the tax evasion angle seems premature, to say the least.
