    The stupid questions thread.

    Different levels of Sunrace cassettes, if its a lower level without the lifter sipes on the big ring, I would be looking at the shifter housing and cable. It would have worked alright with a Shimano but may not be agreeing with the Sunrace. Its obvious the spring tension is ok on the XTR...

    Its happy days and such a strange feeling, the overwhelming relief to only have stage 1 cancer is crazy, thinking that a few seconds before when the Urologist opened his mouth, your life could have come crumbling down with a stage 4 diagnosis, spread to your bones, lymph nodes and metastasized...

    Nice one ! The robotic was great for me but the foley catheter was terrible, I couldn't even sit down for 16 days and I tired 3 different meds for bladder spasms. The 2 main downsides, depending on how early its caught. I had both nerve bundles spared and zero incontinence from day 1 but the...

    It's shit news but it's happened and you have found it early, so just go through the process. That was a quick turn around PET scan. Mine showed a glowing spot in my L3 vertebrae, which dragged the whole process out to 3 weeks with an additional MRI needed. Ended up a Meningioma, described by...

    2010 my mum and dad were on a visit from NI. It was my dads 65 birthday so I took the family to Port Lincoln/Coffin Bay for a few days and took my dad on the Shark Dive at the Neptune Islands 60km South of PL. Both of us with waterproof cameras, we took 500 pictures underwater in 45 minutes, 4 x...

    Strava has a long history of mine documented there so I still use the free app daily. DC Rainmaker talked about this a few weeks ago but nobody has complied a list of every app that will be affected. Basically the gist of it is - Strava doesn't allow anyone to use their data anymore, not for...

    The article read 'he's a long way from home' and they have never seen one so far South in fresh water before It's my decision to swim wherever but as a parent, you select safe places for the skidz. That sighting will put the heebie-jeebies up a few who thought it was too far South for a Bull...

    What did you do TO / WITH / FOR your bike today!

    Those coaches and scientists you are listening to are talking about Z2 as part of a structured training which probably sets out a 7 days a week program, every week, not a casual 20-30km ride. If you are only doing 1 ride a week, you will get far more benefit in every way doing a MTB ride on...
