M&S jeans are great - last me as long as stuff like Levis ever used to and cost less than half as much.
Love it.

Do they release these as a podcast anywhere? I used to get them back in the day, then they moved to playlists on Spotify (which fucked my algorithm - I still get their intro tracks recommended to me) - I miss having them in my podcast app....
I don't know why I never considered this.
I work for a German company and wondered why our internal prices were so high!
That thing (it's not even a BSO) is precisely why tech startups need to get the hell away from bikes.
They are the future but stuff like this (and any number of weird bike renders from car manufacturers) just don't make sense.
Bikes aren't complicated - and they don't need to be!
We have some in the South West, and there's plenty in that London also.
Can't have debt after this administration if there's no more administrations!
There's still plenty around! All full of titty ads, fag ends, and smelling of piss.
It's like the 90s never left us.
It's always farmers. There are some good ones, I'm sure, but for the most part their 'stewardship' of the UKs outdoors extends only as far as their ability to make money from it.
Fuck 'em, until they do what they like to pretend they do.
And as far as Lynx are concerned I'm still salty about the escaped lynx from the Borth Animalarium that was killed rather than recaptured because of farmers' concerns (despite the fact that to get a shot at it would require the same work either way).
The majority of the wealth in creative industries isn't in the hands of the creative workers anyway - it's not a big change in that respect.
The 'creative' employers will just pivot to churning out content and using underpaid staff to make them workable.
It depends on how hard bike companies want to push it. If a bike has anything integrated with a battery (Di2, AXS, whatever) then I'd imagine that it'll just become normalised, like hydraulic brakes have been (or, for that matter disc brakes!).
Friendly reminder from a jaded bicycle mechanic - it's more often than not a bent hanger (or bent jockey wheel cage), not a limit screw issue.
The limits don't tend to work their way out of 'set' (unless you ride really hard or are very unlucky).
Good shifting, regular maintenance and checking your drive train goes a long way to avoiding mishaps like this! Thankfully our lord and saviour Calvin at Park Tools can help teach how to trouble shoot little niggles to avoid them becoming problems like OPs! It also means you'll get to feel when shifting is a bit suspect (ghost shifts, chain skipping etc.) and you can pick up on them earlier.
Thankfully it's not rocket surgery!
Portugal and the UK have one of the oldest and longest unbroken peace treaties if I'm not mistaken.
