Norway for me by a country mile or is that kilometre?

I have the headset one as mentioned above, the better one is the one in the pink bike guide.

Same here you have done your father and father in-law very proud, an inspirational story.

is it a briggs and stratton? every now and then you need a new diaphragm

2011 SJ evo, the 456 is same age built up of the cheaper bits off the evo, 2010 Roubaix. I used to buy a new bike every year. by splitting frames and parts, with the evo havent had the need. saying that was off the bike for a whole year for a house refurb.

Brechfa used to be 20 minutes, now live another 10 minutes away, Sustrans something or other right out the door.

RIP Deejay :(

Had a 1.2s 05 Jazz, loads of room inside, drove nicely had it for 5 years only the door lock went and a recall for the handbrake. Used to require a head off service to check on tappets every two years, had mine checked but never off. Would have been nice to have air con though. The used market must be great because you wont have had boy racers having them, I’d say the 1.4 is the one to get. Had a normal yaris before the jazz and I preferred the Yaris, the Verso definately looks odd. Now have a Panda.

tbh not much round there. Live just over the border. Like has been said Pembrokeshire is sh#t for mtb, take the roadie or just come to Brechfa.

cloudnine the footpath has been there for at leat 42 years (set up by the forestry commission)and does go from the top end down to the clearing. I do know a friend of mums lives down the darker end and have heard of a few near misses with walkers and cars when some have come down the drop-off.

I’ve used this injectable stuff.

Its a very easy job. Carpenter as a trade.

I might go into the garden later and build something. I say take it down. rules are rules. We live on the Carmarthenshire border and would love to build anything we want without permission.
My in-laws live down the road from there and they really need to protect the area from bad building decisions. If everyone down there with some land built what they wanted it would probably end up like the ‘shire’

Great service here from the Cheltenham branch. Enough for me to travel up from West Wales.

Same bike as me, so good that I haven’t the need to change it, few upgrades though. Have Hans dampf on mine and its a real bike for all that I can throw at it.

Looked at The Up, test drove it and the Panda. The Panda won all round a better car better suspension and £2000 cheaper like for like. A girl in work has an UP, she’s happy apart from the gearbox.

Mine went today, 4 months use, mind you was my first ride in 14 months. The shimano site states 3 years for XTR

Getting one fitted next Monday, £270 all in.

Will be calling round there later and see them, as its a new Panda suppliers are bringing out bars all the time.

That’s the trouble I had with the civic, proper fitter broke most of my plastics in the civic, just the case of once bitten twice shy…If someone rear ended me, and the brake lights and indicators are seen…But a grey area?

Yep thats on. Not lit I suppose.

Father in laws Yaris diesel, amazing.

Had a 05 plate, great car space was amazing, lock went just after warranty so fixed free luckily. There was a recall for the handbrake being faulty, heard of a car rolling into another but Honda didnt want to know. The only two negatives were expensive to service the 1.2 and the image. I have to admit the Japan built Jazz was light years ahead of my UK 06 Civic. Have a Panda and that’s obviously got less space but a lot more fun to drive.

PS I never got flowers!!!

Yes Audiology is a massive subject. The ENT consultant would first diagnose the type and severity of hearing impairment. A visual inspection would be done to see whether any thing is amiss and see a healthy ear drum. The hearing test will find out which frequencies are low etc.
The NHS aids have various channels etc I was a ENT nurse for 5 years and never had much dealings with audiology. So my dealings with them were from being a patient.
Over the last few years the NHS Audiology departments have very well trained specialists. An hour for ‘tuning’in aids is the norm.
I deal with Amplifon aids but you have Specsavers, and Boots and also the smaller hearing aid dispensers. To be honest you do meet genuine dispensers but to the un known they can and will try to sell the more expensive.
To be honest though the NHS ones are great.
Most companies that sell them are roughly the same ie Siemens, Phillips and GE Resound to name but a few. What makes them ‘expensive’ is the economies of scale and the ite ones have to be bespoke for you.
I’d say the NHS ones I have are slightly better in clarity and the channels as the aid is bigger.
PS I have two though couldnt cope with just one.

Depends, I’ve had to wear them for over 24 years, the original NHS BE (behind the ear) ones were very basic, nowadays they are digital and when I picked up my latest digital ones was blown away at the clarity and a big bonus they were free.
You really should have a GP refer you to the ENT dept. then hearing tests moulds and eventually the aids.
I have also a pair of private ITE (in the ear) £2500 and to be honest as I work on a ward I need to pick up the phone the behind the ear aids aren’t a match for quick hearing as you need to be on the ball. Otherwise the latest NHS aids are a match for the ones I have in the ear.

Any more info I’m more than happy to advise. If I’d have the NHS ones a few days before I wouldnt have bothered with the private ones.

I remember working for McAlpine and the site agents had Cavalier Commanders, thought they were very cool back then.

Cool site to find how many cars are left.

Met Nik Turner a few times, lives a few miles north of where I live. Sadly when I met him I’d never heard of Hawkwind.

I don’t know about bike racks but I’m getting a tow-hitch for mine. (I’ve got a regular Panda not a 100hp).

6R4 through the welsh forests for me.

Cammer that’s the same that came out of mine, replaced like for like. Mine took a bit of ‘persuasion’ to come out, slid in easy like John Holmes.

Its a BB30 press fit, bottom right hand corner. Had a headset bearing remover and a headset bearing press to fit it in.

Same here I went through npower.

have a look at select specs. I buy the value range and just can’t believe the quality and price.

http://www.selectspecs.com/cheap-glasses/

These are what I buy;

These for £6

http://www.selectspecs.com/res/images/items/fullsized/5_19_1.jpg

I’m 36″ chest 31 waist. Small fit me great, just right as is my small GORE Phantom, enough room for me for a few winter base layers underneath.

Cheers for that, size small ordered.

Doesn’t hair spray applied for long enough harden to form a protective layer?

These videos just scares me.

Welcome to the club Rickos. I like the SRAM stuff, though you should get a good price for the SRAM.

YES

Staff Nurse Orthopaedics. Not much else to say.

Love mine, have swapped the forks for revelation dual position. No problems with the OEM forks, but I thought I needed to lower the front for some of the trails I do at brechfa. (11.11 miles yesterday with 1708 ft of climbing gain. 2hr11min moving time.). Just had a Garmin 200, dont know what those figures mean.

It’s great for long climbs and like a rocket going down. 70mm stem, CF bar. Handles the rough tracks with ease. The original BB went awol after a few hours, new one has lasted 6 months. Have moved the wheels saddle over to a 456 build. Using lighter wheels Roval EL’s. Its quite light havent weighed it. It’s very balanced.
