Unfortunately, you generally get a zero listing fee in the UK, so they are losing out on money, and they can see if you've has someone asking about addresses or phone numbers - I specifically asked about all the listing with contact details in the description, and apparently THAT is a breach of policy too.

But your attitude is the one I took with them, and they're just not bloody interested. All they want to do us threaten people with account suspension for breaching a policy that really doesn't work for certain types of sale.

It's a pretty typical computer-says-no scenario.

Well, I got nothing. eBay's not nearly as relevant or be-all, end-all as they want to believe they are. They seem to be actively alienating users who don't happen to be businesses. They used to be great for all us small-time sellers, but now you're poo poo unless you're selling stuff constantly.

Also on the bike chat, I have something similar to that hybrid posted earlier, what specifically do you recommend for tires if I have to ride gravel? I have some skinny Michelin Road tires on it now and haven't touched it since moving because of that.

Gravel specific bikes and tires are all the rage right now so there are a ton of options. Mainly they have a fairly smooth center tread to roll well with some side knobs for cornering, and are wider than standard road tires. This is one of the original light off road touring tires:

And named for my local airport. I use a few different Clements on my CX bike and like them quite a bit. WTB nano and riddler, a bunch of stuff by compass and panaracer are also good options.

It's not unknown for me to use my road bike offroad. Other than tyre width, there's really not that much that makes a cyclocross bike that much better for light offroading. Now I'm sure someone will go but but but.... sorry but hardly anyone will know the difference riding a cyclocross bike vs a roadie.



Exactly like that. The only thing I'd want is disc brakes and I'd have no problem with it on a fire trail. This frame has 22,000 kms on it, the shifters 50,000, the deraileurs 30,000, front cluster and cranks 25,000 and the bars 29,000. Okay I'm not going to go single trail mad drops on it but there's no reason why a road bike cant do gravel.

That is also my commuter bike and it gets a right battering and a lot of potholes and gutter jumping. And hey, road bike party shows a roadie can take a HUGE hammering and shrug it off.

I did, and he did pass, but the guy is desperate and my friend is crazy.

He has two other vehicles (a Jimmy with a badly slipping transmission and a CR-V with a blown head gasket) and he wants this to last just while his Jimmy is getting the transmission fixed, and really I'm more curious than anything at this point.

What godless soul does this to another man's car?


and HOW? I was parallel parked, and this is the driver's side door.

I also spent 4 hours at the DMV this morning. They somehow managed to get someone else's name and address on my new trailer's title and took their sweet time figuring out how to remedy it. They didn't have full sized trailer plates, only mini, and told me that there is no possible way to get novelty plates for a trailer which I'm pretty sure is incorrect.

Basically width between the frame where the wheel slots in, though as frames can have some flex with no wheel, it's best measured with the wheel in there. Older 7 speed MTBs stand a chance of being either 130mm or the later 135mm.

I have a 130mm wheel sat doing nothing, but it's got a long enough (non-QR) axle you can add a spacer to make it 135mm, which I've done one way or another swapping it between bikes. Anyway, you can have it if you need it.
