+1 for Gusset Double Six. I use them on 3 of my bikes at the moment and have been using them for years without any problems.

My mate has one and manages to fit his Orange 224 in it with the front wheel off

What a shame. My old Blender was an amazing bike, I wish they’d make a newer version.

Such a shame to see this. My first camera as a kid was an Olympus XA2, which got me hooked on photography.

Just got back from a lovely relaxing swim in the North Tyne.

Yeah definitely be down my local on the 9th. I live on my own and am getting sick of not being able to go out with my mates.

@kryton57 thanks i’ll give that a try.

@matt_outandabout I own a BSA R-10 pcp rifle which would defiantly do the job, but I don’t want to make a mess of my fence as the round would pass straight through the moggy.

@nixie I put a camera trap up and caught them at it, as I wasn’t sure at first. I do have a hedgehog that roams the garden at night but never seen any foxes round my way.

@kelvin I’d love a dog but unfortunately don’t have the time due to work commitments.

@johndoh I need solar but have seen battery and USB charging one’s. Don’t have an outdoor electric plug

I’ve got a Moto G8 plus and I love it.

Or this…

Done. Thanks

@tdog No I shop local, not in supermarkets. Tesco decided to build a large store down the road from my village and it put six local businesses out of business. This is why I resent Tesco.

Rather pay more than go anywhere near a scummy tesco’s.

Don’t know if the government are still trying to sell Gruinard Island, but that might be an option.

Shattered a rear Superstar rotor while riding a double black diamond trail in Queenstown NZ. When I eventually came to a stop after going otb the only part of the rotor left was the spider. Serves me right for using cheap crappy rotors.

I’ve used mpb.com for second hand lenses. There a decent company to deal with.

Mix petrol with polystyrene to make homemade napalm then pour it on to the nest, light it and run.

I’ve got one of the Kenwood CO600 machine’s. It has 3 functions, a tin opener, a bottle opener and a knife sharpener. It’s a very useful piece of kit

Planet X/on one have been mailing out frames unprotected for years. I bought a 456 six year’s ago and it came with a bent hanger and dented head tube. I did eventually get a replacement off them but not before a load of hassle

My Lowa walking boots. Got them for my 18th birthday and survived 17 year’s of hiking some of the world’s largest mountain ranges

Slacker than a Glaswegian prostitute.

I’m glued to my seat. Wouldn’t usually give a toss about Le Mans but I miss racing so much

Been using Triton for years and never had any issues. Probably just a backlog issue due to covid.

A football hooligan brandishing a chair.

This is one descent that I’ve been looking at doing for a while. https://earth.google.com/web/@54.65715934,-3.14727034,813.81135784a,1000d,30y,0h,0t,0r/data=MicKJQojCiExM1I5T0J3cE9BeUN3RkVqdVJwLXlIVk1XN1NsWDJNMHQ

No helmet = natural selection

Clapped the first week, then on the second week I went out with my guitar and amp which just seemed to piss the neighbors off. Stopped after that

My mate uses a Towwhee to tow me up the hills when he’s on his e-bike.

The one nearest to me (Gateshead) is shocking. I bought a bike from them 2 year’s ago and it had a scratch on the carbon fork that had been coloured in with felt tip, only realised when I got the bike home. Ended up getting a refund on the bike instead of a replacement as I didn’t trust them.

@bedmaker thanks for the feedback, that’s just what I needed to know. I have owned a carbon rigid fork in the past that were way too stiff and harsh. Lovely bike by the way.

@easdoesit cheers for your feedback. I plan on running carbon 29er wheels with a 2.6 rear and 2.8 front. Good to hear they can take a bit of abuse.

It’s great to see people judging people on the way they look. My neighbour owns a santa cruz nomad but always rides in trackies. Do you think I should report him to the police?

Buy yourself a ghillie suit a telephoto lens and then set up a Twitter account.

Going to go test my eyesight over a 300 mile drive.

I absolutely love my Mattoc pro 2’s on my Chromag hardtail, far better than the 34’s that they replaced. Planning on getting the new Mezzer Pro’s for the big bike in a few weeks.

Yeah the little buggers are out in force now. I pulled 2 out of my dog at the weekend

+1 for Chromag Scarab. I’ve got three set’s on three different bikes

The sleeping mat is amazing. I bought one last year and it’s far better than any other sleeping mat I’ve used.
