Iv been looking at getting a towbar fitter to my RAV4. PF Jones told me £175 supply and fitted on the phone took car in and price went up to £230, they said price was more due to parking sensors took car away before they started work, I’ve got it booked in to north west towbars as they want £220 and said the kit has got a switch to turn the sensors off when towbar is in use..
Scott Quigg only because I know him, I used to train in the same gym a him when he was a Thai boxer. He is hard a nails and fast he has been fighting since he was about 5 years old, he can get sloppy when red most comes down. I think it’s going to be a good fight if Scott can pull it off he will have to try and stop it early on.
what a great day it was about 130 + people turned up. Had a blast meeting people from all over the country there was free beer and cake sun was shining, some cracking raffle prizes. It must have took maths to organise.
Big well done to SI for making a great day.
To clean my chain I use Tetrion White spirits 2lts for less than £3 at screw fix. brush on with a cheap Antagen Dish pan/pot cleaning brush 25p or use in a chain cleaning tool.
Iv have the wild gripper R advanced on my HT front and rear and very impressed with them mine is the gum x compound. Size 2.35 27.5 wheel size they look big (wide) but dont feel slow. Great in wet and mud cleared well.
Never found a tyre that I’m happy with on wet roots but theses have been fine.
Not tried tubless set up. Been running them for 6mth and have held up very well with little wear.
As every body said get it serviced.
If you get a second hand one I would want it serviced so you know it’s right.
If you are going to replace it I would look on chain reaction they have some good deals on shocks.
Ok I told a lie..I’m not riding my bike today I feel like curling up in a dark room. Don’t think iv ever been this bad, heads banging sore throat and coffing up some horrible crap. Peace people I’m going back to bed.
Iv got a 2006 civic 1.8 petrol..loads of room if you lift the back seats up for your bike kit..very cheap to run mine is showing 37mpg with most of my driving around town (stockport/manchester) but it’s more like 35mpg when I fill up.. Have you looked at the Volvo v50.
I got the 650b team HT as I have a 26inc full sus spech camber had the boardman over 6mth and not only used my camber once since getting the 650b.. If you have an HT why not get the full sus then you have a option of what bike you want to ride.
Iv got a 650b pro HT as a winter bike. Got it 2mth old and paid £500 for it bike was mint not a mark on it.
Changed the tyres as they were pants in mud. As for the frame they mark Easy and show up scratching due to the high gloss..bottom bracket is pants been replaced and on its way out after 3mth max..bike rides well front end is very light jumps well I find the cranks are a little low and hit them on rocks but as an all round bike it’s very good and rides fine. Think I have used my full sus once since iv owned it.
I was up there yesterday and it looks crap, this part of my local ride and its a shame as before it was ok.
Don’t under stand how it’s taken them 8weeks and they have still not finished it.
I made one last year as I did not have time to get one made beforehand. Police stopped me they were fine about it BUT said next time he seen me if I had not got a proper plate made he would give me a ticket.
iv got one on my full sus just need to buy one for the HT,
would not be with out one now i spent years thinking they were just over priced bling but after riding and using one for 2 years i can see why people like them.
i picked up a second hand 650b team HT for winter and its my goto bike now had it for 3mth and not used my camber since. it just feel right every time im out on it.
also had a 2008 team HT and that was a great bike.
After a recommendation off here I got the Phaart Bleep from on-one its bloody bright and very cheap.
I got asked to turn it off last week by a bloke in a car as he said it was blinding him when he come up behind me..
Also the lad I was riding with also said it was over the top as the flashing was hurting his eyes.
+1 for the michelins…iv just fitted Michelin Wild Grip’R2 Advanced TS on the front of my 650b HT and very happy with it grips very well. Not been in much mud yet. But I’m sure that will come soon.
I get them on my ipad and phone but fine on PC..last night was a pain as they were down both sides of the screen and along the bottom but is fine this morning.
