I've got a 1200 Victron inverter on a coffee van project. I've got two 100Ah batteries wired in parallel which each have a 100a max discharge.

The system works fine until using a coffee grinder. I have two and one is causing a voltage drop on start up and causing the inverter to power off. I've tested the draw of the grinder indoors and it's around 400w so comfortably in the inverters capacity, and so currently working on one of two assumptions:

- The batteries can't surge the power causing shut off of the inverter. Obviously it has a maximum of 200A to draw down.

- The wiring is too long and I'm getting voltage drop from the wires.

I'm using 35mm cable for the Bus bar -> Inverter w

I'm trying to find as many cobbled streets in and around Sheffield. At the moment I've got:

Western road Paradise street Park hill rise Trent street Washford road

Any others around Sheffield? Bonus points for any in the surrounding peak district villages!

Wondering how other people are managing multiple power meters and somewhat normalising their output for training.

I have three bikes that I train on

• Road bike with a 4iii left sided crank
• Gravel bike with a Staged left sided crank
• Swift set up (Wahoo Kickr)

The power levels seem to be quite different (20-30% variation), especially when I think about the power in relation to RPE.

I find:

• Gravel bike (RPE generally lowest, power highest)
• Zwift (Mid RPE, mid power)
• Road bike (Highest RPE, lowest power)

How do you guys manage having multiple bikes and set ups? I know probably having the same meter on each makes sense, but that wouldn't be the case on Zwift set up and so still cur

My Karoo 2 has started a dreaded infinite reboot (5-15 seconds of logo, black screen, repeat).

I've factory reset, let the battery drain to 0 through the cycles, charged.

Anyone else had this issue recently? Come across some posts but nothing recently. Incredibly frustrating as it's effectively bricked ATM.

Looking at getting a ratcheted set of spanners but not sure I can justify ParkTool cost. Anyone got any sets their happy with? Happy to pay 50 quid but 75-100 is a bit too rich for me!

I've got a 105 Di-2 12 speed setup. The bike I have has really good tire clearance and looking at setting up a gravelly setup but current official options don't stretch beyond a 11-34 cassette.

What's the deal with compatability with 12 speed MTB cassettes? There's not a ton of info online of people experimenting yet.

Any other options I've not considered?

Not sure if I'm being stupid but I was pretty sure I signed up to a finish line ride this morning but it's logging as a baseline ride. Has this happened to anyone else or was I just half asleep?

As a 30th birthday present my family booked me a trip to Pyrenees to watch some tour stages (bucket list item!). We're staying in Loudenvielle so we won't need to travel for the Peyragudes stage, however there's a couple of stages where we'll have a couple of hours drive.

Looking at Col d'Aubisque and maybe Port de Lers on the other days. My question is what time roughly/in anyone's experience do these roads close? If we were to get there early morning (say 7am) and hike would we be able to get close? We're more than prepared for a couple of hours hike. Detailed road closures aren't out yet so looking more for approximations based on other years in similar areas.

Any advice appreciated!

We're looking at getting our loft converted, was wondering if any of you had had any really positive experiences with companies in Nottingham? I'm not fussed about it being slightly more expensive if they have good customer service/are prompt etc.

Thanks!

So, I've developed a bit of a problem when developing 120 film in B&W at home. I've been developing my own film (C41 and B&W) for a few years with very few problems (with the developing, scanning and drying on the other hand...). However my last two devs I've found that I'm developing getting big black splurges appear on sets of the images. I'm a bit confused as to why (although I have a few theories).

35mm is developing fine, so suggests the chemicals are not the issue (although they have been open a while...). The 120 film has been Ilford HP5+.

My current guesses are:

1. the film isn't going onto the roll smoothly and therefore the Chen's aren't getting to the film
2. I've not m

Just wondering what thoughts are on the 28mm summicron f2? I've just managed to secure one via an auction house for around ~£1000 (looks to be in good nick, I know I'm gambling a little), but they seem to be going for triple that on eBay. There's actually little knowledge about this lens and am wondering if that's really the going used rate for one and whether if anyone has shot with one!

Either way I'm excited to stick it on my CLE as it's got the right frame lines!
