  1. and public holidays……
  2. Nah, just stay logged in
  3. Wot… another gmail account…. No fanks
  4. Thanks Nick For work computers we use a pw manager (last pass) it definitely has its advantages. For personal computers I prefer not to keep these details stored somewhere online or on my device and despite the single pw and encryption, out of my control.
  5. Proverbs 22:8 “Whoever sows injustice will reap calamity, and the rod of his fury will fail”
  6. Ah yes I understand, makes your life simpler Yes, after 17 years of using a short username without having to change the keyboard, I now have to type out a lengthy email address changing the keyboard options twice for the @ Thankfully I don’t have any numbers in my email and no longer need to login frequently
  7. I believe the high price is actually to subsidize the national sport of roadworks. They hate potholes more than smokey noisy 2 stroke engines
  8. Hmmm not sure that’s a good reason, usernames worked for the last 20 years My email has changed more than any of my usernames….. on the various forums I’m a member of
  9. Seriously Admins? Why after all these years are usernames no longer accepted and we now have to use an email address to login to bikehub?
  10. Pfffft…. Try CHF 2.20/L = R35/L But at least cyclists rights are respected by motorists (respected might be going to far, tolerated is probably more accurate) and you can drink the tap water as well 🤟😁
  11. Altenrhein St Gallan, i thought there would be more aircraft parked there during WEF.... they must all be at Zurich or Dubendorf? We had a what i think was a Global 7500 parked here at Buochs for a day or 2 which has now departed, think it was Netherlands registered (PH)...the little apron here is a bit small for these kind of birds.
  12. That "traffic light" cant be in Germies?
  13. Wonderful day for a ride on Planet Zug yesterday
  14. It’s so simple, do this /\ Their start time should be 15 minutes before the normally aspirated riders, this way they can clear the trails of any hidden dangers, mambas, cobras, puffadders, cattle, etc…. and provide motivation for the racing snakes to ride faster / catch them QED
  15. That dust looks hectic, not good for the aircraft to be flying around in it as it will get in everywhere. We have a customers plane here now that flew to Morocco through the Sahara sand storms earlier this spring, it’s unbelievable how much sand we found during the annual inspection…. Literally 100 hrs labour to clean it up and we still have some more cleaning left. Nearly as bad as the pollen in Switzerland at the moment….
  16. Interesting thanks, I'm looking at buying some new carbon "semi deep section" road wheels and was wondering about tubeless. Maybe I shut stick with tubular... once you get your head around the "glue them on phase" they are ok not sure if they are available in < 40mm rim depth. I have zome zipp 440's but don't really like to use them for everyday use
  17. Having read all the good advice and valid comments so far, I’m inclined to ask what kind of experience / qualifications do you have in matters of a small bike shop? Are you already able to repair bikes yourself quickly and efficiently, or will you hire the brains for this? This for me is the thing I look for in a bike shop, someone who knows his stuff, not someone who will practice on my bike (no offence meant).
  18. When does the racing start?
  19. If you knew what color my EVO is, its worse than fugly and I’ll never win on it, but I still love the ugly bugger….. just as well I don’t race anymore
  20. “If you don’t look good you can’t go good” (fast) - Old Chinese racing proverb
  21. How to make a nice looking frame look *** Damn fugly looking wheels, spoked type wheels liked that have been around for eons, yet they don’t seem to become the standard, or popular. Of course it’s a matter of imo
  22. Most likely some sprinter if not the little shortie, Damn Roadies….
  23. I still have a Specz epic with xtr dual control levers and v brakes if you feel the need to build yourself an “Oldtimer”
