#cycle another query. Does anyone have experience of disc brakes like the TRP Hy/RD?
I would like to upgrade my current cable discs for something that adjusts more easily to disc wear and stops more convincingly. Used to have BB5s which were ok with fresh adjustment and new pads but declined gradually. Current cheap (and cheerful?) only adjust with cable and again only really brake well freshly after adjustment.
Solution needs to work with drop handlebars. Currently on 2012 Tiagra I think

#cycling #cycle anyone any experience of using microshift? I have a Specialized tricross sport from 2012 which I still ride. It has had many replacements including both wheels. I am wondering about levers and perhaps derailers. It is 2x9 speed which looks out of style for Shimano group sets so wondered about alternatives which might also allow some lower range gears

Recently I read a post by some jackhole techbro who wants a default automatic feed algorithm here just like Big Social™.

Opening the door for AI bullshit is not even the worst part of this idea.

Folks, all of us here ARE the algorithm. Personal curation is a feature, not a bug.

We make Mastodon awesome by following people and boosting what we find meaningful, significant or just cool. That's how it works.

Let's keep making friends. Let's keep sharing. Let's keep Mastodon alive. Together. 💖

Church Mountain

Probably one of the most famous and recognisable mountains in Iceland, Kirkjufell (the eponymous "church mountain") stands 463 metres high on the northern coastline of Snæfellsnes peninsular.

This lovely pointed hat is a nunatak, formed when lava forced its way through a glacier, melting the surrounding ice and spreading out as it grew upwards.

This shot was taken at 21:30 in mid-August, and it was still light enough for photography.

If the Pope is now considered part of the radical left, I think we need to look at just how far the overton window has moved.

Not a day goes by here where my home feed doesn't contain some damned dorky rabbit hole in which I wind up learning new things and making new friends.

Ok let’s crowdsource this shit. I know there’s some #discworld nerds on here.

I want to make a playlist where I have one song for each book in the series. Eg Thief of Time is obviously Clocks by Coldplay, Pyramids is Walk Like An Egyptian, Small Gods is Losing My Religion. Songs should be bangers and also thematically appropriate. (I have a list for a lot of them, I’ll post it after this has had a chance to make the rounds.)

Aaaaand: go. Mastodon do your thing.
