I was inspired by @chicorider's Topeak add-on. I have the underseat bag, but I have finally overstuffed it to death, despite having the world's biggest panniers on the Grasshopper. The problem with the Topeak idea is that the bag is tiny. They sell a bigger bag but I think it would catch the...

Are you worried about getting arrested? You are probably breaking the new law. You should have an old Vendetta. They are yellow. Come to Dear Old Blighty. Cold in the winter but it is better than Xinjiang. Add oil.

I put the clamp between the bars and the pivot clamp. This is closer to the centre of gravity.

I wish my bikes were as easy to pick up and carry as a DF. On one Critical Mass, everyone stopped and lifted their bikes above their heads. I had to bend right down to get a grip on the Grasshopper frame. I struggled and eventually lifted it over my head. The handlebars swung round and gave...

Adding weight in the BB will make it harder to steer and make the fork flop worse.

Oval rings may or may not be a good idea. There is no consensus on the benefits of oval rings but at least they should be adjustable. Everybody agrees about that. Everybody wants them at a different angle, even DF riders. If you use them at the wrong angle you could even hurt your knees...

All the American IPA is going in Victoria docks until Trump gives us a decent trade deal.

I wish he had given us a better look at the road surface so we could see exactly how bad it was. I think my Silvio has been on roads like that. If I wanted to make a habit of it I would want tyres like his, which would probably not fit unless I got 650B. Could he take the thing that adjusts...

Same in the UK. Trouble with the land of dust and diesel is that the fauna is all trying to murder you.

I looked at my speedo and it said 27mph and at that moment both my tyres blew up. They were totally worn but I had not noticed. I would love to try it at 48mph. Someone up there likes you.

LMAO also. There is a spectrum here, the ends of which are a long way apart. At one end, I would really like to be behind them in the peloton. At the other end, I just slow down and let them go. I do not ride in my baggy shorts. Not unless the weather is really hot and I want air-conditioning.

Me too, although I do that sort of thing myself sometimes. There were no bits flying up from the road. Maybe they went by too fast for the camera to pick them up.

I have XX1 11sp cog. It looks to me as if the 12sp one is too wide to go in the forks, otherwise I might get one. When I got the XD driver body I tried to push it onto the hub. Seemed as if it was too small to fit. As if the diameter was too small. I thought I had got the wrong thing. I...

That was Jason's point.

I got my Grasshopper to replace a Hpvelotechnik Streetmachine which I lost to thieves. It had USS. It was the first 'bent I owned. I tried a lot of other 'bents but that one was the least wobbly. I had no problem balancing on that bike, but there was one thing. When I went to get on it...

Bar bender! The tool mutation of n+1 disease strikes!

I had this idea. The boom clamp was poking me in the sternum. It made it really hard to get on and off. It also made it really hard to lean forward in the seat, which is a really useful ability to have. Look at drop-handlebars. The places where you put your hands are a long way forward of...

Here it is

And then modify it. I am not quite up to making booms out of oars, but I cut the slider, and I made a bar-end friction shifter. Which fits on the handlebars of my own design and construction. You are going to love trying to get mudguards to fit.

If you hear the Rapture it is too late for you unless you believe. Is the virus one of the Last Signs?
