Superb-will give that a try – ta

Bought Race Pass when it first came out – total bargain

Post Brexit I think I’ll be too embarrassed to visit Europe even if allowed.

Aren’t these the usual way that road bikes mount rim brake calipers ?

Mega popular here in Liverpool via some kinda Council backed new startup company – they’re limited to 10mph I think so not too much bellendery can be accomplished.

Jeepers…and quite smoky… Need to refine my surreptitious eye wiping move…

ta for replies…ah decisions…decisions. I’m going to give some of the fancier brands a try over the weekend to see if there’s any actual difference in taste and they tend to be glass…else will give SodaStream or a derivative thereof a go.

OP – I was in the same boat as you 6 months ago – Virgin contract about to expire and therefore monthly cost to be doubled. I just phoned them and said I can get BT for £25 so I’ll cancel – they said “ok no probs how about a new contract staying at £25 pm”

I’ll add that to my reasons to buy a compressor I don’t really need.

I’m with stevextc on this – its one of those things I really want but not sure exactly why

Its funny how small things can make a big difference – installed an outside hot water tap – makes cleaning so much nicer

They’ll be a big push to move to more home working – my company is up £10m by not having to pay for travel / hotels etc – guess it will depend on how much face to face the client wants though.

Ta that’s pretty cool – ordered

that’s properly nice

Surely all you’d need to do was watch while it rusted in real time whilst you watched – as per my XR2 :(

flippin eck steelbike – bit harsh that…so….you only spend on the very very minimum it is to stay alive then give all the rest to charity

ok fair play…that Coke advert is effin awesone*

*note: may be affected by red wine consumption

Yep we’ve been told not to install until IT have tested against all the important 3rd party s/w we use.

+1 for G7 Power – well pleased with mine – can run a nav app (OS / Kamoot) on it all day long without gasping for power towards the end of the ride

I have spyres on the SS CX bike, Ultegra STi disk on the Camino – worlds apart in terms of performance.

I have one on the gravel bike and is totes recommended :)

Yes I’m with franksinatra on this

I initially thought it was a bit harsh – he appeared to be trying not to use racist terms and then apologised.

But, in his position he should have been so well prepared – fully briefed before hand, rehearsing , dry running any replies with his team etc etc

To just blunder in and wing it, very badly, does kinda mean he’s not fit for that position – especially as you read further into his previous history

As previously stated though, he’ll probably just be replaced like with like.

+1 for the Polaris AM Enduro – bought one last week (PSA on here – ta :) ), used first time over the very showery and windy weekend – was just bril. It’s pretty damn water resistant, there were a fair few big showers and it kept me dry. Total mega bargain for £40 (reduced from £90) from Polaris.

I tend to use neoprene socks – you can get some quite thin ones – that way you’re not bothered about them getting wet – when it gets properly cold I then go to winter boots. I’ve also just ordered some of those rubber swimming socks to try over normal socks…

Poor lad…bunged him a tenner

Probably Mason Bokeh but really like this: https://winstanleysbikes.co.uk/marin-headlands-frameset

There’s also these guys – bought one a few years ago for Eroica Britannia and I was very nice : https://www.soigneur.co.nz/

Well I quite like him…seems like a nice bloke.

Deffo hoping for some gravel events and Eroica Britannia

Giving up trying to post an image…

Just seen Get Duked – was good.
Can highly recommend TimeTrial on iPlayer – very nicely shot – and quite moving in places – quite a metaphor for life in general…

Love my VirFortis – great for those wild but mild rides…

thin neoprene booties instead of socks = not bothered about water ingress then add on neoprene outers = toasty

ayjaydoubleyou – yes that’s the exact helmet I have ! yeah no wasp would get through that :)

hmmm…old helmet was MIPS, got new one without, 2nd time out big wasp went through the large holes and had multiple stings on the head – reckon that MIPS sieve like structure would have stopped it :(

Conti Terra Speeds for me – superb rolling resistance (or lack of it) – no good for winter mud though so will need to swap over to something else.

Frame bag for tools (extra sealant / darts / co2 / spare tubes / hex tool / mini pliers / levers / other bits’n’bobs) + two bottles in cages + bar bag for any extra clothing

CdF 50 looks properly nice – might be tempted next year – have a 2016 Day One as a winter bike – still going strong despite little maintenance love

Yep I have the classic – use through winter on local training muddy ride – just hose it off and let drop dry outside then let fully dry inside – tis great

I think biketreks (now moved from Ambleside to Ings) have them for demo
