    More stages woes. Two Ultegra G2’s both warranty replacements. Massive over reading off zero offset on one and low offset on street other. Both resulting in power drops & wildly fluctuating readings either 30/40watts under or over.
    Starting to think it could be a UK based use as one of them was absolutely no probs in the alps over summer, perfect calibration reading and great battery life come back to the uk and off we go again with same probs.
    I thought hey had fixed it with G2s thinking rather have G1s with piss poor battery life than the problems I’ve had with power drop outs on G2s

    My last batch of RnR was rubbish actually. Seemed too thin and not enough of the waxy stuff to lube.

    Yeah same here I actually thought it might be snide & somebody just ripping it off.

    Urgh :-/ I read a thread that said it had all disappeared as the guy making it had packed it in sometime last year ? Then a load turned up in ebay so presumed it was back to normal. I am now confused.

    Here’s a few rarities and obscure ones The last one by Aqua Regia was on a label called irdial that released some very quirky & classic electronica especially Storm by Insync.

    He knew making acid was more than just twiddling a knob, acid is funk when it’s done right.

    and if you love acid & don’t know Gherkin Jerks then you need to hear this beast. Lucky enough to have experienced this in all its glory in a few fields & warehouses 88/89 on huge systems. Some strange dances & faces were pulled :-)

    Yeah I can see the base map is pretty good just worried it might miss some trials but will give it a go. I have eventually found how to get the openstreet map on there but when I swapped over to it it appeared to load and run slower than the installed base map

    Good & bad G1 Ultegra gave up after a long fight inc removing battery after ride & replacing it but got it upgraded to a G2, the G2 XTR after no probs ridden & raced over 8 moths in all conditions has also started to play up :-( Gotta add though the after sales from SB & Stages is beyond excellent.

    Just fit a shimano bb

    So there’s no difference in the threads of GXP/Shimano external BB’s it’s just the angle on the cups ?

    Cheers sounds like it’s probably worth doing a service on them then if the valve release is only short term, think they are just over 2yrs so prob out of warranty

    After months of faultless use of my Ultegra G2 stages suddenly getting power drops every 2-5 mins where it just zero’s out then spikes back up. Battery fine calibration fine firmware fine, thinking it could just be a battery door connection issue so got a new one on its way before the hassle of warranty. XTR G2 still working a treat FWIW.

    Did WEMBO there so guessing same set up, car park is next to pit area but you could drive into pit area as well but there was no leaving once u there as its situated on part of course.
    Gazebo yeah but you can’t peg in as the ground is hard so take some weights or something to hold it down.
    Kit list – everything you think you will need plus extra & a spare you don’t wanna do a 24 & then realise you should have brought …(insert missing item)…

    There’s that much singletrack in Epping that in the years I rode there I don’t think I ever did the same ride twice. I seriously recommend going out & getting lost, which is what was told to me when I first started riding because the truth is you can’t actually get lost especially if you know the roads all around it.

    Don’t forget the forest goes all the way down to Forest Gate in East London, but as mentioned here it ‘closes’ soon so better be quick coz unless u have a SS don’t even bother once the mud comes.

    Reading he got done for ‘roids recently so maybe heart attack ? That fight with the white Irish copper is epic & brutal even though he lost. Never claimed to be anything but a brawler making a dollar for his family RIP

    Exercise interrupting sleep is well documented issue. As mentioned endorphins kicking it, if you have trouble with anxiety or insomnia you are advised to avoid exercise late in the day for this reason.

    I like it and I suspect knowing the Roses & Ian Brown there’s more to it than that. I have an old friend that is really good mates with Ian Brown if I can get hold of him I will ask him.

    The thought of Carol leaving TWD is enough to cause a mini apocalypse in our house. They need to build on the whole Mexico thing and get Rubén Blades involved more as he’s one of the few that can actually act.

    Watched Ep 5 last night possibly the worst one yet, Jack & Alicia OMFG what a joke that story line is. Piss Poor characters except Daniel Nick & Victor and zero tension between them. The scene with Travis in the cage with the girl from the abandoned raft was shocking.
