The Communal Drink and Good Times Thread

Got the calipers on, sitting here sweaty on the carpet, wishing I had an ice cold beer at hand, but I'm out. Emergency shopping needed.

If a bike doesn't have old school cable stops, but instead those clampy thingy ones, do I just run the cable housing solid from lever to caliper like I would on hydraulic?

Feck don't have zip ties. 2x emergency shopping. Beer and zip ties. Got my lovely Chinese takeaway levers on though.

Stella. One of my go too Lagers. But I'm civilised and put it in a glass.

Between your legs something well civilised is going on (from your knees down towards your feet), .

That bike stand / jig looks great. Homemade?

My Stella glass went when I sold my van....think it was in the glovebox
Bike stand is ex post office best bike stand in the world "the jaws of death," I don't do carbon bikes probably wise cos the clamp on it would munch it!

Poitin/ Pochin Irish version on my demob . I have never been quite the same person since .

Old friend of mine now passed sadly did a few tours during the troubles out there one of his fav jobs was to go out on the peat bogs to catch guys with their stills working....they'd sit in a Landover with binoculars watching em whilst they watched em back through binoculars! Obv by the time they reached em they had the still packed down.....so they'd end up just pissed

Can't speak for this particular item.

Thought about something like this then when BBQ season comes around, especially as I can get Pelfort in those type kegs.

Got incredibly put off the idea seeing the quantity of these type of things dumped at the tip.

Pelfort! Damn I love that beer....got me through Brittany and half way up the Loire valkey where sadly it seemed to run out....
Pelfort Avec citron...refreshes like no other

^ Oh yes. No messing about with that. Probably weighs a ton and must be really stabile.
