    Hopefully Cafe Allez finds a new local home, I reckon with all the dedicated customers it should do. Maybe the historic house needs more parking for summertime. Enjoying your channel from a stinking hot Western Australia.

    Great Vlog, Such a shame about the cafe , what a massive loss in every way . I regularly use it But remember going when you could sit inside when it first opened , on a grim winters ride thinking , “ this place is great , just what cyclists need “ . and looking at how it grew and became so popular . Very Poor decision by the estate .

    A new independent coffee shop is opening in my home town of Whittlesey, and one of the coffee they offer is a Lungo, do you know what it's like never heard of it before, looking forward to testing out when they open

      There's a couple of interpretations of a lungo.....? But essentially a shot of espresso with water left to run through for longer to produce a larger shot. Can be inclined to bring out bitterness through higher coffee extraction level

    Shame about your cafe - we've been lucky enough to see a decent one open in one of my offroad riding areas (Pike Snack Shack Rivington). Looking forward to your BB update you mention - missed whether you were still using the ZTTO ok ... doesn't sound too hopeful! My Checkpoint press fit BB is on its way out, done 2500 miles just trying to get it through the winter. Was hoping for a reliable solution to damn press fit that I can fit myself easily!

      Hi Matt....... News is on the way..... Suffice to say i cant recommend ZTTO!

      Look at the junction of the splines and the chainring on a direct fit chain set. Park Tools has a video on that common source of creak. If it has a spider, remove the chainring bolts and grease them and all surfaces touching the chainrings. Tighten the chainring bolts down well. Spokes in the rear wheel can mimic that creak if they're loose. There's a cycle of tightening and loosening that occurs each pedal stroke. The spokes can rub where they cross like a cricket's wings! The lowly bb stands wrongly accused on occasion. Try simple inexpensive fixes first.

      More of a crunch than a creak in my case sadly and I know that the drive side bearing does not move as freely as it should having taken the crank off a while ago. it's never been right since my cranks went submarine in a flood a year ago. Of course in the good old days you could've just removed a BSA BB dried it all out and refitted it with no bother.

    I couldn’t help but notice that the helmet straps on Mary Contrary’s Giro helmet looked so loose (I’m sure this’ll be controversial) but it really worried me ☹️

      Hi Greig. Police are involved so we would rather let that take its course first..... But yes for sure it might be opportune..... 😉😉
