Devoured

I bought a Mason x Hunt 650b Adventure wheelset secondhand here in France on Leboncoin (basically French craigslist or gumtree) which are in very good shape, clean and show zero signs of any mechanical issues or damage. I have a pair of the Hunt 25 X Wide in 700c that I've used for years on my gravel bike and am decently happy with the brand overall.

At least, I was until I tried to set these up tubeless. I've setup dozens of tubeless tires across multiple bikes and wheel sizes and in the course of doing so have encountered the various common problems. I've been able to solve all of those, but these have me ready to throw in the towel and I need a sanity check from y'all in this sub.

I queued into the Red Bull Londinium 1v1 EW ladder about 15 minutes after it went live. With some luck I win my first match and chat with my opponent as we're both buzzing on the same reaction "what is this map?!" ( we got Thames, very cool) "I never play empire wars this mode is so crazy" "gl next" etc. Good community vibes.

Feeling real confident, I hop right back in the queue with no map bans, same civ picked and thinking I can maybe win another. Let's keep the momentum going.

Soon enough I'm in a match on Hengehold. I notice my opponent has a name that looks kind of familiar. Have I played him before? Wait, maybe it was a YT video. Immediately I start getting a sinking feeling. H

I'm building up a Kona Unit X for heavy bikepacking duties and it's been going well. I'm not at all familiar with modern MTB tech and standards (these are the first 29" wheels I've ever setup, for example) so while I thought I setup the crank properly for the wheels I've got, evidence indicates otherwise.

In the lowest 3 gears the chainline is just awful, so I think I need to remove the spacers that go on the crank spindle after you mount the chainring. That should shave something like 3-5mm moving the crank inboard and fix this problem. As best I can measure now the chainline is 55mm.

Is this an okay plan or do those spacers NEED to be on there and i'm missing something else?

As the title states, I'm trying to figure out how to get a few of the ethernet ports in various rooms working with my fiber internet connection and router provided by the ISP. We moved in just last month and to my delight the place came wired with CAT7, with a junction box (not sure what it's called) in the garage. Only my wife was here when the guy came to setup the router and didn't get the full explanation from him on how to make things work. He just wanted to do his job and GTFO (fair enough).

I used to work in IT many, many moons ago, so I feel dumb for asking this but this, is also my first time dealing with any home setup or living in an even remotely new house.

Heres what I *

We've all typed "gaia" in at some point and had fun ordering birds in flight around the map while enjoying their vast LOS. If I recall correctly, way back in the day it was possible for villagers to hunt birds (and I'm not talking ducks and turkeys) and they would crash out of the sky. Since these pieces are already in place, it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to add a bird scouting unit.

Right now we have Eagles and Hawks, but I suggest the humble domesticated pigeon as a command-able unit for scouting purposes thanks to their military role carrying messages (see WW1 and other wars around that time) and the fact they are surprisingly fast in level flight.

Ma femme et moi voulons déménager de Montpellier pour nous éloigner du climat méditerranéen et nous rapprocher de sa famille.

Le bonus serait également de trouver une ville où nous pourrions nous rendre à Lyon et Paris sans trop de souci.

Clermont-Ferrand semble être un bon compromis… sauf en ce qui concerne la ligne Clermont-Paris ! On est bien incapables de trouver une source fiable qui attesterait que cette fameuse ligne TGV va un jour arriver à Clermont…

Est-ce que quelqu’un connaît quelqu’un qui sait quelque chose à ce sujet ?!

PS : tant qu’on y est… Si vous voulez partager votre avis sur la ville et ses environs, on n’est pas contre 😬 Est-ce que ça va le climat pendant l’été,

Bikepacking counsel - I'm searching for advice on several things, some of them of a more technical nature but given the use case for this build and history of posts I've seen in this sub, I thought it better to post here vs r/bikewrench.

Background: I recently nabbed a Kona Unit X frame in size L that I'll be building into a bikepacking rig with the secondary functions of basic single track and gravel rides with extra thick tires. I've done a lot of traditional bike touring and have been primarily a road cyclist for much of my life. The last few years of owning a gravel bike that I can stick fatter tires on has given me a decent amount of bike pa

Hey Wrenchers. I'm building up a 1x9 city bike and grocery-getter after my beloved '98 Rockhopper was unceremoniously stolen last month. I have a bunch of parts laying around and picked up a new Surly Crosscheck 2021 frame having always wanted to own a Surly.

Reading this guide to chainline for 1x setups from Oneup it seems I should be aiming for a chainline of 50mm for optimal performance but the M800 (not 8000) crankset I have on hand is not on their chart. Problem is I measured my chainline at 55mm earlier today as seen here: [https://imgur.com/a/cW2TYzd](https://imgur.com/a/cW
