    You can bike on the B7062 to Cardrona then join the A72 for a short distance.
    Have a look on Google map.
    Not sure about forest roads or such like?

    Jota180 – On forks with high and low speed compression the nut A/F size is bigger, hence why M10 was mentioned.
    Also if you read the title of the post I ask for thread size, not the A/F size of the nut!

    All others thank you for your comments!

    Yes I know what size A/F the nut is, I want to know thread size?
    Cheers 😉

    Longer travel on the friont will shift your weight onto the back wheel, giving you a ride like a chopper.
    Unstable front end.

    Correct me if I’m wrong!

    Blue, north then south loop.
    Conditions are icy at moment.
    Done north loop sat night, long drag up fire road icy but rideable the rest all ok.
    Cannot comment on south loop, but would think down section could be icy.

    Have fun!

    I am lead to believe if bought without VAT then when sold no VAT will be charged.
    I bought with VAT added and sold without VAT added due to not being VAT registered.

    Cougar – never been violated in anyway and what scars I have are self inflicted.
    If I was lucky enough to come across someone trying to or burgaling my property it would be me up in court to give reason to my actions!

    Knowing my luck the criminal justice system would hang me out to dry. After all the victims have f*ck all human rights.

    TJ – would not class housebreaking and burglary as petty theft, neither would the victims.

    TJ – back to your initial posts.
    Where do you get that most burglars are smackheads, have you never herd of career criminals this is how they make there living? Note make a living not feed there habit!

    I would chop there hands off, but then you would start telling me that they have “RIghts” just like Foxes!

    Oh and where do you get all your soap boxes from? 😆

    Both challenges were deliberate and with intent!
    You notice Scotty and Kabba didn’t make a meal of it, other so called foreign prem stars would have been rolling around trying there hardest to get the offender sent off!
    As for the statement about Adeb’s wages being paid by City what you will find is that it will only be a % of the £225k a week he’s on! Long may it continue, City’s loss and Spurs gain for this season!

    If still not happy you could put couple of spot welds on the area effected (stear tube not stanchion for TJ’s benefit 😉 ) then smooth off with file then emery cloth.
    Just a thought!
    Otherwise cannot see there being a problem..
    You could always use a Hope head doctor (think that’s what they are called) to help support inside tube.

    As I have sad in previous post’s trapping and lamping will work but is not effective, hence the high population of foxes!

    A lot of the control was done by the terrier men!

    bren2709

    TJ have you ever been shooting or trapping?
    No I didn’t think so!
    It’s not as straight forward as you think.
    You don’t just put a trap down and the fox walks in.
    As for shooting you have to be in the right place at the right time. If you get a fox in your lamp and miss the shot you can be sure next time you put your lamp on its gone!

    Foxes go for easy food so a field full of poultry would not be safe. So with you previous comments regards your poutry farmer.

    I’m sorry I don’t believe you!

    TJ – how would you control the fox population?

    Reply to comments on page 2.

    I have witnessed first hand the damage the Fox can do.
    My parents keep Hens which are allowed to wonder around there field during the day and housed during the night. Also kept in a fenced pen when not in the field.
    Basically on a number of occasions they have been wiped out and always during day light hours. The fox has dug under the pen fence and slaughtered all but 1 hen. The same happened while free in the field, the fox was seen happily making his way down the field with just 1 hen in its mouth.

    So you are telling me that your poultry farmer never gets bothered? Might be the fact that the poultry is kept in sheds and not allowed outside.

    Leave it for natural selection, get real!
    Numbers will increase ten fold.

    Have any of you anti-hunt seen the damage 1 fox can do?

    Lamping is only effective for so long, why do you think the fox gets the name “Wise old fox”

    Loco is that not MP’s in general?

    bren2709

    So if fox hunting does not control the numbers, how do you explain the increase in the fox population?
