Depends on the terrain but 40 up to 50 is a 25% increase so I would imagine so.

The tyres themselves will make a different depending on the suppleness and thickness of the rubber used as well as tread patterns.

What type of inner tube you use or moving to tubeless will also change the ride charactaristics.

Between 19:02 and 19:16 depending on where in the UK you are. For everyone that just wants to know the time and not scroll through all that crap :)

“Sorry bro, I don’t work on anything cheaper than 105”

Yup. Sounds pretty similar to my area. Dude isn’t Algerian but my guy is just a laid back guy who is out here trying to teach everyone that comes in so hopefully they learn about the issues for the future and then often tries to undercharge me for his time when I do pop in myself.

I have nearly punched on with the cunts at a couple of the other shops when I have been forced to go in a a try and find a part locally due to how disrespectful and obnoxious they can be.

That depends heavily on the bike shops you have nearby. My town has maybe 6 bike shops that I know of. I only trust one of them to do work on my bike and even that place I check their work afterwards as if the younger kid that works there ends up with my work I know the work is gonna be trash.

You have the shops like say Walmart or decathlon who sell cheaper bikes and employ a “mechanic” too. They can’t even be trusted to build a basic bike up they are selling.

Then you have more specialised bike shops where that is their main trade who are quite often elitiest cunts who talk down to you and think they are the hottest shit ever.

In my experience it is very hard to find a bike shop that knows what they are doing properly and also don’t treat you like shit the moment you walk in, in my experience.

My point is I think you learn more from YouTube than you could from a bike shop employee usually.

If you want to actually improve the comfort of your ride then I advise you to look at changing your tyres before adding novelty items like suspension seat posts. It will change the riding characteristics a lot more on the bike.

Bought the Origin of Symmetry album based on this and Plug In Baby but primarily this track, back in the day. Such a disappointment of an album.

Massively over rated band in general though.

Oh. Weird. It wouldn’t even load for me on my device.

This app wouldnt work for shit on lineage, I only wanted to try it out to see what is was like in terms of library management.

I ended up using Poweramp after trying every music player I could find and Poweramp was the only one that seemed to actually handle a library in the manner I wanted.

Spiritbox are decent though

Pirate bay is still a great source if you use your brain in terms of the types of files you are downloading etc. I get a lot of TV shows etc from there with no issues at all.

I have been watching all the updates you have been making with this phone and how promising it looks. I couldn’t agree more about your sentiments towards Jollaand when I do need to move on to a different device it is looking more and more likely to be a fairphone 6 because of the work you have done!

Thanks!

Probably not your jam OP but if you want some dubstep vibes:

Nominee & Youngsta - Ascension

Dubstep with a rhythmic, tribals drums, trancey kind of vibe.

Bengal Sound - Culture Clash part one

Dubstep renditions of Bollywood sounds, can’t recommend this enough for its pretty unique vibes. If you like this there are two more parts as well, equally good.

Zha - NAAN001

More west Asian inspired beats in the name of dubstep. All the NAAn releases are in the same style and worth listening to!

That is interesting, thanks for the info. I never felt I had a problem but on long rides it can be somewhat fatiguing like you say to have the bone conduction up loud enough to hear whilst also paying attention to the sounds of what is going on around you + wind noise.

I’ll check out what their site says and the item is fairly inexpensive, I may have to try them out!

Thanks for the recommendation!

Interesting. I have never heard of those cat ears things before but ride with bone conduction all the time. Does it make a notable difference using them?

I have used aftershokz bone conduction for years and years on the bike, running, around town etc and it has always been possible to hear except for in extreme conditions like 70kmph gusts of wind or something.

To jump onto your comment as a current Spanish learner, dreaming Spanish is pretty good. Language Transfer however is, in my opinion, the beat single tool for learning Spanish.

I think it is best coupled with some other methods, like dreaming Spanish, but I have learnt more from Language Transfer than anywhere else.

Obligatory never use Duolingo, it is fucking trash!

You know, there is going to be a surge in popularity of Amphoras any time soon. I have a pamphlet here somewhere…

There is a weekly thread on the books com about what everyone is reading you may want to check out.

This weeks post

I just started He Who Fights with Monsters recently and I’m already well into the second book. Good shit.

Agreed. People can be so locked in to what they are doing they haven’t necessarily seen you. I thought it was standard practice, particularly on the ring, to indicate that you have seen them and will be sticking right.

Porsche should not have been trying to overtake on a bend without seeing that signal so they knew the BMW was aware and giving way.
