forteh Posted December 5, 2021 Report Share Posted December 5, 2021 DHL pulled out the stops and delivered the cable from HP a day early! I now have a new updated cable under warranty to solve all of the issues. Headset still doesn't work boo Think it's a Windows update has stopped the usb controllers talking to the headset properly.

forteh Posted December 10, 2021 Report Share Posted December 10, 2021 New headset arrived, all works as intended. Hand tracking is also working now so I can pretend to press pretend buttons in my pretend plane that I'm pretending to fly with my real life fingers on my real life hands 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted January 11, 2022 Report Share Posted January 11, 2022 Leaving my MOT job on the 28th and going into KDN Honda Works full time as of the 31st! Been a right long slog to get there, can’t wait. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davetrials Posted January 14, 2022 Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 Decided to f**k it and buy a stupid bike I won’t use properly based solely on the principle that it looks cool. *please check angry thread in 3 months for outcome * Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that's true but there's time yet yessir. Then you've still DPD to negotiate... If you've ever worked on the roads (former delivery van crew here) you'll know them lads don't give a fuuuuuuuck, least of all on a Friday afternoon ducking round traffic cos of their impossible scheduling.

manuel Posted January 28, 2022 Report Share Posted January 28, 2022 bike arrived and its great - odd to ride but seems to steamroller over anything! Downer is the rear wheel has to be replaced on warranty as the rim join is completely out of line. So I have to wait for monday/tuesday for a proper ride. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manuel Posted January 29, 2022 Report Share Posted January 29, 2022 Unexpectedly a new wheel arrived today! So if the weather's ok, me and Griff will go have a gentle roll around somewhere tomorrow. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh nice - I’ve been looking at building some of their road bike rims for aaaages. Might get some for the new 29er at some point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted February 4, 2022 Report Share Posted February 4, 2022 New pump track just opened nearby in Eyam (the plague village!), dying for the weather to dry up so I can take the kids for a play but it's given heavy rain all weekend. Hopefully squeeze an hour or two in on the Adamant there one day next week when the kids are at school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the n+1 rule even comes into play when a new riding venue like that opens up nearby! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I get the garage sorted my first job will be knocking together something from spares which will then be subject to a few sneaky upgrades when the wife is at work 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manuel Posted February 4, 2022 Report Share Posted February 4, 2022 The new bike is awesome. I can almost now do a bunny hop on it I love it, it just seems to bulldoze over everything. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manuel Posted February 7, 2022 Report Share Posted February 7, 2022 First proper ride today. Awesome! Cant ride it for shit, but it was fun. Despite its weight its surprisingly easy to go up steep stuff, no wheelies just ploughs on up. Bit of a bus on really tight turns but feels great pretty much everywhere else.

Al_Fel Posted February 8, 2022 Report Share Posted February 8, 2022 I love how there is just so much stuff out there that I have no idea exists and can just stumble upon it and be totally entertained. Here's a Bismuth knife being made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's just rigid/hardtail 29ers in general. Took mine over Jacob's Ladder last summer and I couldn't believe how easy it was riding up compared to the last time on a 27.5 full suspension. Considering I hadn't ridden in ages I went bottom to top without stopping, just sailed up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a Bismuth knife being made. I saw that (or a similar video) a while ago and played around with bismuth a little, trying to make/'grow' those little crystals. It's a pretty amazing metal with its low melting point and good fun to mess around with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
