  • I have been using Meroca TPU inner tubes on my bike which I both train and commute on for the last 9 months and have put 2000km + on them so far and they have been absolutely brilliant. I have not had a single puncture in that time and the single negative thing I can say about them is a couple of times when I have unscrewed the dust caps it has removed the valve core instead. That is hardly a massive issue as I can just screw it back it so is more of a minor annoyance.

    I cannot recommend them enough and will be using them in the future, no doubt. For reference I use them with Continental Gatorskin tyres and they hold pressure well, I usually pump them to around 80psi and end up refilling them every two weeks by which time they are usually sitting between 50 and 60 psi.

    This is the first aliexpress link I found for them with a quick search.




  • I’d probably rate it similarly to Deathlands as I was enjoying it, just not enough of it yet for me to fully get into it but I enjoyed the fact it was a continuing story. The trader as a character was in the very early Deathlands books and I didn’t particular like him but in these newer books with him as a younger man I didn’t mind him anywhere near as much.

    How do you feel about the Mistborn second era as a whole now that you finished it? I didn’t realise there was a novella, I might need to look that up!


  • Missed this post last week but since then I have done a few things.

    I finished the last current Trader book.

    I listened to the first Outlanders book which turns out to be set 100 years after the Deathlands books and references a lot of things established in those books but also even just in this first answers a lot of questions that hadn’t been made apparent about the history of the Deathlands so along with Trader being set 40 or so years before they are all giving a good amount of information on the setting and lore and filling in lots of blanks.

    I also got the newest Deathlands, number 157, which was OK.

    I listened to the newest “Beware of Chicken” by casual farmer. This is number 5 and I really enjoyed going back and visiting that setting again. It fleshed out a lot more of the main characters back story as well as a couple of epilogues that filled in some side characters back stories some more, it was a good time.

    And currently I am just over half way through Shopocalypse Saga book 7 “BuyMort Singularity”. This is set 100 years in the future from where the last book left off which left you thinking the main character was dead, this follows his return and him catching up with how the universe has changed in his absence as well as how his legend has been incorrectly told leading him to be some what demonised. It then goes on to tell about how he begins to reaffirm his presence in the universe and try to take back some of the power he once held. Again I am really enjoying returning to another setting I know and enjoyed in the past!

    It has been a busy couple of weeks!








  • Heading Out is a driving game where you are trying to make it across the country and there are lots of branching stories and paths based on your choices and who you meet along the way. It is quite stylised and really had me hooked when I first played it. Definitely worth a try! The end was quite memorable.

    Keep Driving is a driving / road trip simulator. This one didn’t click as well with me and I couldn’t really get into it but it also had different paths and stories based on your different choice etc and may be worth checking out for you.
