I got a Small Rig grip which makes all the difference

I have same in both slots

We used to make our own in the 70’s. Straightened the forks and built our own wheels. It was when there were a few independent bike shops where you could buy everything you needed at cheap prices.

I’m going to have to have a partial at some time. One thing that definitely isn’t good is to keep having cortisone injections regularly as they mess up the knee and you definitely can’t have them within six mths of having a replacement op. I’ve concentrated on building up the muscles around the...

I use a Belroy 9L but they do smaller ones. Takes my X-T5, 16-55ii and 23 f1.4. Along with phone, wallet and a few other bits. https://bellroy.com/products/category/crossbody-sling-bags

Yep and it’s been that way for the 40 years I’ve been going there

Love Greece and go around twice a year. Always Crete for two weeks and always same place. Owner gives big discount for cash. Naxos as well this year and Hotel also given us a discount for cash. Very rarely pay by credit card. Wouldn’t live there or retire there but visiting a couple of times a...

Why is this the only site I have issues with when abroad. Managed to log in using a VPN Glasgow server but anything else says my IP address is banned

Yes but it’s no bother going to dealer and I would prefer a new lens to getting it repaired
