So is that bit really a very bad guard for the chainring?

Must be

Best thread for ages,
Good work on the t-shirt too

Very early contender for thread of the year. Top bombing OP, (and magneto dog, (what’s his real name?))

David’s 110 and 130mm measurements are for road bike chainsets and your new bike looks like a mountain bike. MTB chainsets always used to be 104mm BCD, as per the holes in your funny black thing. Although this standard has probably changed recently. So I’m guessing it is a chainguard of some kind, but probably not for the chainset on your bike.

This thread…..

If he’s that awesome, you’ll soon have a silk purse….

End the year now. Thread of 2016.

I’m quite glad no-one suggested c**k ring.

I think you just have 😯

glad to see you have found productive ways to occupy yourself. 🙂

no-one’s noticed, still no bike pic

Who cares about a bike picture when there’s a brilliant dog like that about 😛

I think you just have

😯 😯

Dogs win, bikes in the bike. Dog for president.

Great thread, made me chuckle and feel really sad at the same time, we lost our 13 year old Lab last year (I was actually out at the Mega when she went so never got to say goodbye) she was always good for doing stuff like this with, would let you do anything stupid with her and not bat an eyelid
I think I may need to get a new Lab now

Brilliant stuff. Magneto-dog for president!

Magneto Dog -v- Sudocrem Cat

Like and also want!

You need to market a small magnetic black labrador model that we can use for all our small metal parts when working on bikes. And supply it with a mysterious disc that baffles!!.

Plot loss and superhero animals. Perfect start to a weekend.

How about a Magneto-dog keyring 😆 ?!

😆

We could get some made, just need an original………

Love the pics!!

Oh Noes!
Magneto-dog willed me into giving this thread a Friday afternoon bump.

/Johan

This has cheered me up at the end of what’s been a pretty frustrating week (work…) – Thank you!!

What a gorgeous hound!

Great stuff. Can’t wait to see my mutt tomorrow now.

Thread of the year, its gone platinum 😀

Magneto Dog?

Please. With that thing on his head he’s clearly a Guard Dog.

TBH I’m not really a dog person but this thread has made me laugh/feel happier.
A great combination of your humour & your dogs “hangdog” expression at your fitting him up.

Have a great big man hug from me for helping me through the week

This thread is brilliant 😀

We could get some made, just need an original………

I’ve got one. Want to borrow it?
