    Thanks for all the replies.
    What’s BIN?
    Can you tell I’m not a dealer? :-)

    is it running ok?

    Yes, it’s been fine.
    I don’t take the bike off to ride 3 or 4 times a week any more, which is the main reason I bought the van in the first place.
    The biggest “problem” I have is, it takes about 18 minutes to get it warm, it takes me 20 minutes to drive to work at 5.15am. :wink:
    I’ve had my dear old mum’s Golf given to me, so I’m having a change.

    claiming you’ve had loads of “adventures” in it should help.

    :D

    I’ve just had a valuation from WBAC, £620. Less their £50 fee. :|

    That looks like good news for somebody.
    I feel like I need some dot peen in my life (or at least on the bike).

    I’m working this Sunday, so I can’t make it. :cry:

    It looks like you’ll have to go for the one for 203mm.
    I wouldn’t worry, 1.5mm extra on the radius won’t harm.

    It looks like you’ll need a “Mount C” for the front, and a “Mount L” for the rear.
    Assuming it’s post mount back and front that you need.

    Thanks,Jamie. I searched for the quad core, but it only came up with the gold one. :oops:
    Looks like I’m following your lead.

    Jamie, the quad core is coming up as £280 for me. Did you use a voucher, or has the price bounced up today? :?

    Good to meet some new folk, and a couple of old ones.
    I enjoyed it, even though it might not have sounded like it. Riding with the lurgy is probably not the best idea I’ve ever had, but it’s in, now. Thanks for waiting.
    Happy new year. :-)

    I got some Briskers, don’t know about them being super warm, though.
    If you can stand £23 odd, the Galibier Barrier III winter gloves are warm, if a little bit chunkier.

    I’ll be coughing, wheezing and gurning, ’cause this man-flu hasn’t left me, yet.
    The dear wife’s dropping me off at Ton’s, so I’ll be bailing out at the top of our road.

    I got a text a couple of weeks back, saying they were £400. I jumped straight in.
    I’m still happy, though. :-)
    I’ve shortened them to 120mm and put them on the Solaris. Just need rid of this man-flu now. :roll:

    My Philips that I’ve had since May is working for me.
    I still have a cutthroat shave at the barber’s, every now and then. That’s a bit closer. 8)

    £6 monthly.

    Every now and then I get a cutthroat shave at the same time. That’s £6, too.

    Thanks Scotroutes and Jamba, just that **** banner that’s taking up 10% of an already small screen, now. :?
    WTF would I want that for?

    On Sunday’s Xmas ride, I had black Sambuca in one flask, Lamb’s Navy rum in the other.

    Continental shifts. :roll:
    I’ve got tomorrow and Saturday dayshifts (6-6), next Wednesday and Thursday nights (6-6), back in on 12hr days on the 2nd.
    It could’ve been worse. :?

    The banner’s still there (Chrome on Android). Why on earth would you think I’d need that?

    No last post button, and why would I need the banner across the top of the page?

    Does need a link back to the main forum though

    Second line from the bottom of the page “Forum Overview”.

    I’m not sure I’ll have time to get back to yours, but, as you’ll be coming past the top of our estate, it’d be rude not to come for a ride.

    Sending that link whilst, proping up the bar using there wifi Chip?

    No, Sparky, I’ve been at work all day.
    I was there last Wednesday night, for a once a month get together, and was given a ticket to go see Arthur Scargill, who was “speaking” on Thursday. :? I remain unimpressed. (edit: with him, not the club).

    I was using a rear one on my old 29er for a couple of winters, I may have left it on all last summer, too :roll:. I managed to break a fixing lug off it last winter, it stayed on the bike till I got a Solaris in June. Didn’t bother swapping it onto that. 8)
    I’ve recently bought a new rear one for the winterised SS Bizango. It works a treat.
    I looked at one for the front, but figured that as it’s one of those that fastens between the fork arch and the tyre, I’d have mud scraping it, as I did with the Muckynutz. YMMV. I got an SKS Shockboard instead. Well, I did say winterised. :P

    Nice one, big ‘un. You did more today than I’ve done in over a week. It’s just a cold for me, though. :?

    If you Google M5 slot nut, it’ll bring a few different types up. I wouldn’t think you’d get the exact same thing, but you can try.

    So you have a cough, it doesn’t stop colds and coughs.

    Correct.
