The small joys today thread (a bit of Yang for FoA Yin of late)

i dont think they are, i think they’re just the old saint pedals with a paint job and and then marketed as shimano ‘entry’ level pedals.

the new saint ones look different (if im not mistaken)

yeah that’s what i meant sorry, rebadged old saint, they’re v good

SJ: Finally moved everything from the old place (and associated friends places) to the new place.

SJ: being able to get the majority of my collection in one place at last (albeit 2.5 hrs from home). Unbuilt road and track frames, a couple of complete road bikes, a fixie, the lone MTB, 2 crates of the good retro parts, wheels and rims. Feels John Goodman.

Jim familyguy sending me a retrogrouch approved Campy 8 speed cassette with the much coveted 26T granny gear. What a legend.

so not straight block? getting soft in old age my dog.

I’m experiencing unprecedented feelings of shame.

haha nah, who even cares. Sounds raz to me.

Only feel shame if ever SPD sandals appear on your feet.

so true.

looks down incredulously: “its happening again!”

Does that come before or after triples?

whats a triple?

(I bent my wookie, etc).

Compact doubles with a 13-34T cassette is the new triple. aka gravel bikes. Beards for non-beardos.

insanely cursed image and camping chariot.

SJ - I was meant to fly to Nepal in mid-March, right as all the COVID-19 stuff really hit. Nepal closed their borders 24 hours before I was due to fly, so I missed my flight, and couldn’t get in touch with Thai Airways to cancel. Two months later Thai have finally got back to me and confirmed I can rebook flights at no extra cost. Trip re-booked for next March. Score!

Nice! I had my flights booked for Croatia in August - it took a while, but we got a refund instead of choosing to re-book at this time.

I was meant to go bike touring with my Dad in NZ as he had just retired.

Got a credit to use within 18 months

Dropped fork off at MTB suspension centre for service on Monday afternoon. Hoped it would be ready for the weekend. Called this morning and was told it was due to be done Friday. :frowning_face: Understood, people are busy etc…
Got a call back an hour later to say they would have it done today and express post it to me! Legends.

Just yelled at/called out some old grub on Lygon St that blatantly threw his litter into the gutter. His fuckhead daughter said fuck all when he did it too.

He was actually ashamed enough to pick it up too.
