  1. Show us the end result then.
  2. S30V is such a nice steel. I just hate sharpening it.
  3. Damn these gadgets! I have a GoPro and a DJI Osmo Pocket. They get used about once a year, maybe. Yet, every time a new version is released I find myself neeeeeding that new one - thankfully I have managed to talk myself out of buying any more thus far. And yes, the videos end up looking pretty lame and dull for most people. Unless you're a YouTuber, a Vlogger or pretty jacked with video editing I'd say they're not really a good way to spend your money..... but have one anyway
  4. "Good" is pretty subjective. Personally I don't typically buy any knives with steel below the "quality" of 154cm. Most of mine are S30V blades so I consider 154cm to be "good value". I don't enjoy the range of 440 steels, likewise with D2 and even N609.
  5. Picked up a Z6 and 24-70 2.8 today, let’s see how they go.
  6. I might be near that area in the near future.
  7. Are you living in Wicklow, or just visiting?
  8. Posted in Error
  9. I'm struggling something horrid with ITB. I started to feel it about 10 minutes into what ended up being a 4 hour 25min ride. By the end I was barely able to move the leg and I came down the last descent unable to stand on that leg. On top of that the guy I was riding with had a bit of a crash 22km in and he wasn't able to put much weight on one of his arms for the last 13km. Sad day, but at least the bike is fine.
  10. It didn’t go well at all
  11. What do you think is causing the pain, which part of the shoe and do you suspect it is too big or too small etc?
  12. I’m normally a 9, although I do find some 9’s too tight and for those particular models of shoes I’d need a 9.5; so either of those two.
  13. So I got the shoes and went for the 9.5. They seem to fit okay, except somewhat spacious in the toe box area. Is this likely to be an issue in any way?
  14. Apparently I get these for turning one year older. [emoji16]
  15. Died a little at Hillcrest this morning.
  16. Yeah, the kids got the Fuji's on price given that we were expecting them to drop them etc anyway.
  17. Yes, its quite an interesting segment. I looked into this last year and we got our kids one of those Fujifilm's each before we went overseas in Dec. I also owned the Nikon AW before the movers disappeared it. The Fujifilms take okay pics and the build quality seems okay and we haven't had any problems although battery life is on the short side. I did really enjoy the Nikon AW. Apparently the Olympus TG takes the best images, but for something rugged or waterproof I prefer to have the moving lens parts inside the enclosure, with the Olympus the lens actually extends out and that for me is a deal breaker. They all take okay pics, but none of them are sterling. For me the Nikon is the best of the bunch.
  18. How do you get a photo like this with the ride data on it out of Strava?
  19. This is in my plan [emoji1303]

  21. It will be five ten or 2FO’s for sure
  22. Do most folks turn these pins in a bit, out a bit or leave them as is at first?
