Having been a Husky fan ( i use the pro saws at work all day, every day) for 15 years+ in arb and forestry i wouldnt touch one now with a bargepole. Since Electrolux (vacum cleaners) bought them out they are utter sh!te. 550’s falling to bits on site after 6 months etc etc. Ide buy a Stihl, (never thought ide say that).. just my 2p

mine always do this though they are 12 years old, good tip. Take the outside end cap off and fill the space with thick grease, put the end cap on and tighten back up with an allen key. This forces grease through the pedal asssembly. Dirty grease will push out from the crank end. Repeat until the grease that comes out is clean. I run 2 sets and on average this last about 1-2 years before they loosen, i think the grease fills the gaps. Never changed the bearings or bushes in either set.

No. I bought a Samsung one from ebay, the packaging, printing and visual quality was first class. If you think you could spot a fake you wouldnt spot this, holograms on the packaging etc. 3 months later half of the photos were grey boxes. I contacted Samsung and they requested a photo from the back of it. They advised me that they could not help as it was fake.

I’ve been through loads of boots through the years from all the best brands. The best boots by far have been my Palladium Pampa Hi waterproof. I picked them up for £50 3 years ago, they are really light still waterproof enough to walk in the sea and look near new. If they are good enough for the French foreign legion then they are good enough for me.

if your local vicar asked you to go to the local church for an open day, would you do this too?

in Uphill cemetery there is the gravestone of one Fanny Fookes

no way, im not an audiophile but after selling my cyrus setup and listening to a sonos setup i have just bought another hifi. yes its super convenient and neat but it sounds like a muddy old confused bucket of sh!!t..

The key to iding them is that spiders are not generally shiny. If you shine a light on them they will be shiny. I would be worried about them, a gardener i know was bitten by one and spent 3 days having his leg drained. The hospital said it was the 5th incident that week. Their numbers are on the rise hugely…

your ticket to sell, then go to a proper festie ;)

poached eggs on bacon and avocado, red kites overhead and my kids skipping to the school bus at the end of my garden…

these threads make me laugh, pulling on a rope whilst you put in a back cut is insane, look up a “barberchair” and if you dont know what it is then get someone in..

pruning cuts in pic 20 are horrendous..

REALLY hungry kids will eat anything….fact

I have beaten you to it with this theory. I have been buying up all the old tv cabinets off ebay. When everyone gets rid of these new fangled flat tellys, im in big business….

Wtf? have you watched Gasland? Or any other media regarding this cr@p. Why would you want to work in fracking? you might as well kill puppies or flowers for a living…

seriously though.. anyone who couldn’t make my contact patch come alive would get owned with bombers. If you p1ssed in my 29er shoes I would have to 650b your awesomeness…….

that looks super boring tbh…

sigh..

that is so funny….that does explain why most people hate cops, but some people even like scotts..:-)

Oh dear. Only on stw eh? Fat tosser in yellow lycra on 4k carbon toss machine argues the toss and tries to re educate the entire rural community
on the way things have been done forever…. just p1ss off back to the trail centre……..

From ray mears this one. They make excellent fire lighters for your stw log burner, a tiny bit burns for a good while…….

..surely its about you and her not some cut…..mm divorce dud mtfff…

Seem.,…………….. not,…………….seam……….you dippy or something. ?

Seriously, if she doesn’t like it……your with the wrong girl……

one of the greatest films that no one I know has ever heard of..awesome

All sorted now thanks, ive hung them vertically behind the front door in our hallway, this area was filled with about 30 coats and about 900 pairs of shoes, these are now in the toilet/cloakroom stored on shelves and hooks, amazing the space that female attire takes up, just off for a wee…

Hmm, the shed is solid enough with a tiled roof but the door is pretty flimsy, think I might look into sorting the door out, anyone use those locks that go right across the door?….no utility room unfortunately but the kitchen ceiling is really high..

actually your me except ive got a 14 yr old vw with 150k on it service myself, everything else the same…bloke up the road does niche roast coffee though….

depends on wheel size really, 20 -30 miles on old technology is good but I find on a new 650b im probably managing 50 miles of “trail alive” time as opposed to 20 – 30 miles in old money….

tosh… ignore all the advice above. lobby your local mp for a new 26.75″ wheel size… it really will make the trail come right alive..

The thing is, the tyres don’t cost upwards of £45. Im using a maxxis ust rear that was £20 and a wire bead maxxis on the front that was £10, no burping or punctures in 1 year…

Blimey, these super courses sound fabby, can I also learn how to change my gears? Put my socks on? book me up..

today I forgot that at some point in time I would become so old, boring and near death that my only purpose in life would be to post inane crap on some forum about what I forgot…..oh shit, sorry……..I forgot…..and you are?..

are you serious? its a lever that pulls a cable……how much better are you thinking its gonna be?

shirley……..if you purchased a bolt thru only hub, you already know that a qr will kill you…no?

So it’s 2013 and Mavic still can’t make a metal pole with 2 bearings on it which a wheel can spin on..i cant believe they still get away with it..

I only ride a HT, bought a few FS in the past but always ended up selling them not long after, hartails for life for me I think…

Looks so nice, looks very long and heavy….

what is a “good cyclist”…baffling………………

why do you want a lt carbon ht…? The fact that the market doesn’t cater for you (much) implies you might have unusual/wrong ideas about what you want and what you want the bike to do……
