When I broke my foot and was in plaster for weeks I was really happy that a friend bought a shower chair for me. I only have a shower, no bath in my apartment. Shower chair plus a cast cover for swimming = happier life. Well, cleaner anyway.

Feel bad for Abe. I had a same conversation with Garmin; it turns out when you buy lifetime maps it means for the duration we decide to support the product, which can have the lifetime of a mayfly and there is nothing they will do, and nothing you can do except not buy another Garmin product.

Same guy saying no to 4 day week? The guy with the Rolex? Got it.

As an adult, what seemingly childish things do you get excited about? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Me too. Even though it means ice and slush and wet feet. And not because I own a Yes Typo (reason to celebrate right there). It’s just “yeh - snow!” somehow

Thanks for the post. Went to Quanta Magazine, read “we do not honor ‘do not track’ requests” and decided to find somewhere better to read up. Thanks again tho

Gear - some recommendations (feddit.ch)
 

Don’t take this list too seriously - it was only a week. But it felt like a long week.

1 - Spurcycle mini bell (not an aliexpress copy) looks good also sounds nice when getting hit by branches and other foliage 2 - Aeroe bags pricey but tough 8l each. 3 - focus dry bag rack. Had to use p clips to fit to my seat stays. Was fine 4 - sea to summit straps. Better than voile for me - the 60cm straps fit round the Aerobags with plenty to spare 5 - race king tyres. Good tyres on mostly varying gravel sizes and some sand, and a little made road. 6 - wolf creek chain pliers. The little valve core cutout bit saved the day 7 - nemo tensor long wide - tiny quiet comfortable quiet and quiet. And comfortable. 8 - old timey triple chain ring. Used biggest and smallest. Grateful for the range. The winner - mont bell carry bag. See other post for updated pictures

Things to do better: The chain wax I was trying was fine for commuting but wore out too fast with day after day of mud and dust. Def using a dry lube next time and suffer the black gunk on everything. Sadly as the wax is great, clean and quiet.

Things I thought I’d love but were meh: SQLabs bar inner ends. Next time I may try the ones that sit on the outside more like riding on the hoods.

One week over the Gd St Bernard and into Italia

Rinko bag (i.imgur.com)
 

For flying with my touring or hardtail I have the amazing Groundeffect Tardis but I although it folds quite small it still weighs over a kilo. I am cycling over the Alps and into Italy and to return by train the bike needs to be in a bag. I am super excited to find this MontBell bag. It packs to 16x8 and weighs under 300g. It’s really nice quality (although very light so it’s not going to be robust). For my bike i need to take the seat down a bit, wheels off and handlebars loose. This is fine. I will leave the rear dry bags and tool bag on, carry the front roll and seat pack. I am so stoked to find such a small light solution. Not cheap- of course- but as it means my bike is now hand luggage I won’t need train tickets so straight away it will save its own cost. So I wanted to share this with people who will understand why I am excited.
