    Cheers mike, sorry no real budget to speak of.

    Tablet requirement is to use at work hence the requirement for integration. What I like about Samsung is that I can record videos on the phone and play them on the tv without buying an extra bit of kit!

    I have got overshoes coming so hoping these might help me. Despite looking mighty gay!

    Just freezing and uncomfortable, how can you not let it bother you?

    Nope not too tight. Well I don’t think so. Any looser and my foot would have been sliding back and forward.

    It doesn’t just want to know, so I have the knowledge for future reference.

    Quite happy with the bike at present, don’t need to change anything, just so I know as its one of those areas that once it goes I will buy the wrong one as I’m a div.

    Just want some decent looking kit that’s not overpriced and doesn’t have stupid patterns all over it.

    Not about how rad it is, it’s about cost. If I can go on 4ucycling and get a ‘team kit’ for the sa,e cost as a jersey here it makes sense surely.

    Cheers tomatoe for your help

    Managed to get it out. Wound the tension off then managed to prise it off the cleat.

    Lost a cleat bolt but hey I’m sure I can replace that!

    Thanks for the advice everybody.

    No not currently attached to the bike, but the shoe is. It looks and feels like a bolt has either sheared or come out entirely meaning the shoe can turn 360 in the pedal itself.

    Njee- screwdriver? And thanks for the advice about Allen keys.

    I have removed the pedal as its raining. But cannot for the life of me work out how to get it out. If I wind the tension screw right off will it pop out?

    Mate same situation here, tbh I just put up with it. I have nothing to hide so it really doesn’t bother me. However I often make a comment when I know that my phone/iPad has been removed.

    Are they that good? I’m currently running captains which can be a bit sketchy in the mud, and contemplating these at that price but not sure!

    Just do it, my kids watched tv when they’re were younger and it is a godsend.

    However I do agree with ‘default’ mode. Mine now are very active and fortunately we live in a small estate so they are always outside playing..

    I don’t think you need to worry about being a poor parent, of you were you would have left the poo snail in the nappy and not done anything. Yes you maybe grumpy sometimes, but you are also the one that is there when they need one of the many things a child needs.

    Tbh I didn’t go on the stans site, but wish I had. Never mind they are on now, and should I require future help I will use their site.

    And surely if I didnt post on here, it would mean you who have the knowledge I so desire would not have anything to do.

    Decided to mtfu and follow the advice about getting the bead in the centre and working bottom to top over and over. And it worked. First one took me ten minutes to get done and second took me 9 minutes including getting it off the other rim.

    Cheers chaps much appreciated. They should come with instructions on the stickers though.

    Got the new axle in and it’s too narrow for the freehub body.

    So loads of play in the freehub body when it’s attached.

    Any ideas.

    Got to be honest I use a garmin and wish I hadn’t spent the money, ime it is impossible to follow a route. I.e the trck from the recent gorrick race.

    So if you pick up bottles on the way through what happens to the empties? Cos no one is quick enough to not stop, drop a empty conveniently by my stash and pick one up!

    Bought a bike as a promise to my kids and myself when I gave up smoking. Went out on a canals on my own, that was ok, but then went out with a mate nearly killed myself on a jump I thought I’d already cleared, and that was it got the bug.

    I am having the same dilemma, I bought some sealskinz and they are a pile of shite,. Unless you shin area fits the sock perfectly the water goes in them but can’t get out. I knew they were not waterproof but bloody annoying when you ride along with a sock full of water.

    I have to be honest, and say I have gone the other way. I bought one quite early on in my mtb life and it was great, however as I have improved my skillset I have used it less and less.

    It does depend on the riding you do I suppose, if you have lots of techy fast downhills then it’s worth it no doubt.

    I bought the giant one as I think it was the cheapest on the market and remote operated, hasn’t let me down yet.

    Wish I was racing. I was up there today but too early to pick up the course. Trails I went on seem to be pretty good. There’s the obvious mud puddles here and there, but otherwise it’s in good nick.
    Have fun!

    Depends on the company, I work for a reputable retailer who are currently employing sales managers but the definition of the role will vary from company to company.

    My missus doesn’t ride, is not interested in the slightest but has no problem with me or my bike or riding. She is awesome!

    Fair play to you indeed then. Congratulations. And forgive me for asking!

    Great to see pics, but forgive me for asking what you mean by ‘under your own steam’?

    No offence meant if any taken!
