They all are 😢

I see people don’t like the idea of him being able to sit down and talk with people like Putin, I see it more of keeping your friends close but your enemies closer situation. Id rather have someone on friendlier terms with dangerous leaders who might have more ability to calm situations down than a leader that tries to fight fire with fire. I also think the Russia/Ukraine situation is more complex that it might appear with Zelenskyy not being a total angel himself (though I have to say Putin is absolutely a jerk and extremely dangerous no question about that). Hopefully Trumps boasts about being able to stop the war quickly isn’t just hot air, I do think he’s in a better position than Harris to make it work purely because of his better “relationship” with Putin, I guess we’ll soon see

No i don’t

It’s a sign that people have had enough of “wokeness”, it’s reassuring that there’s still some common sense left in the world. We’ll have to see if there’s increased tariffs which I agree isn’t ideal but I think that’s better than having the democrats in control over there…their behaviour has been really concerning to me.

Not gonna lie, I’m quite relieved Trump won the election.

Have you tried a blowtorch? a quick blast to burn off any contaminants should help. You’re not wanting to get it red hot or anything, I like to look closely and watch for an evaporating effect, it happens pretty quickly and you can just follow it around the rotor, you don’t need to take it off the bike or anything. I don’t think you neeed to do both sides but I often give the other side a lighter blast trying my best to avoid the spokes. Hope that helps!

With a new disc it doesn’t really matter the thickness as they’ll both have a sharp corner but a thinner one will keep its edge better for future grinds. both steel or stone will work but I find a steel one gives a slightly more consistent light grind. I’ve never used an adjustable speed grinder, a cheap one that goes fast will be fine. No, you’re uncovering fresh new metal so it’s ready to go. No, if the grind is still fresh and working well then you won’t need to redo it for different pads.

Not worth it in my opinion, the internal bore size on the fittings is quite small which takes more effort to push fluid through, your brakes will feel like they’re bled with syrup if you use magura fluid and even if you use water it’ll never feel as good as standard hose

I think people are just angry, the working class especially so. It’s been years of budgets getting tighter, money going less distance and there’s generally a bleak mindset for the future. That combined with rich politicians seemingly mocking them has turned the anger up higher…it’s been a pressure cooker and didn’t need much to make it explode. The recent knife attacks (not just the girls), Manchester airport fight and the seemingly unfair use of benefits on immigrants was just the straw that broke the camels back. Sadly rioting is the only way they think they can be heard, even sadder is the racists taking advantage to steer the mobs towards mosques and Asian businesses. I don’t feel the majority of the rioters are really “far right” as the media say (though I’m sure some of them are), I think these are just your average working class folk who feel like they’re being ignored and forgotten about. Im concerned about the ripple effect of this, making racial tensions higher, giving the government more power to make strict laws etc but I’m also concerned by how the media are using specific wording with these events…I’m genuinely thinking that there is an overall plan to divide the country and make a “us vs then” narrative. It feels like we’re in a civil war but we just don’t know it yet.

I’ll wear a head cam next time so he can’t stand and block the view 😂 Don’t be sorry, it was completely my choice…they wanted to continue

I’ve been frustrated by some of the responses from the left turning this about them and playing the victims. feel how you want about Trump but I dunno…not everything needs to be about you. It’s quite alright to just say this was a nasty thing to happen and not lean your agendas into it.

Kennedy seems half decent too. I’m pleased that the world is finally accepting that Biden really isn’t healthy enough to be President, he’s been showing senile tendencies for years yet the media and his followers never seemed to want to talk about it. Not a huge trump fan but I do think he’s the better out of those two…Southpark nailed it years and years ago with their giant douche and turd sandwich episode

I would’ve gone for the Hopes if my intentions were to sell them then buy something good instead 😂

Out of those it would be the Lewis for me if I’m purely looking for a brake that works well

im not convinced, personally I always tie my shoes as tight as I can because I can’t stand any movement of my feet inside my shoe/on my pedal. I feel a floating pedal might feel similar to a less-tight shoe and take away some of the feel and feedback
