    Do the commentators have a list of what moves each competitor is going to do?

    I have enough trouble counting spins and/or flips to notice if the board was grabbed by the nose, side or tail or whether the trick was fakey or natural*.

    *insert other spurious words here.

    I have this problem with a NN Evo Pacestar on the rear wheel of my bike.

    Noticed it last week and thought the wheel was buckled. Took the wheel to my LBS who asked why I wanted a perfectly straight wheel trued!

    Put the tyre back on and once again it looks like I have a buckle if I spin the wheel. Tyre properly seated on both sides of the rim.

    It sold twice in January apparently – on the 12th and then the 19th.

    It had a front brake and a far more attractive orange chain then.

    The hand-painted chain is most excellent.

    The main change to Twrch is the lack of trees since the deforesting started a couple of years ago. The long zig zag climb from Bishop’s Finger up to Airstream is now totally devoid of trees, as is Castle Valley and Dragon’s Tongue.
    The black option at Airstream has been rebuilt as well and now has more table tops.

    Cafall is great with some good downs on it, but as mentioned above about 3km of the top is closed because of the forestry work going on.

    As of this morning the initial climb shared by both trails from the car park up to the Scenic Drive ticket office is closed for 2 – 3 weeks so you’ll have to use the road to ride up.

    A friend’s wife (non-Brethren) is a teacher in one of their schools. There are loads of silly rules that she has to abide by. e.g. Not allowed to use a projector as ‘evil will come through the air’, cannot bring a newspaper in to school, anything wireless or bluetooth is banned.

    It’s a just a backwards looking cult that exerts total control over its members.

    I have had this on my Trance.

    Rear wheel becomes slightly loose yet the thru axle doesn’t appear to have moved.

    Gwithian Farm[/url] is good.
    It’s about a 10 minute amble from the dog-friendly section of Gwithian beach.
    The Red River Inn is over the road and there are a couple of good cafes within 10 minutes walk.
    It’s about 7 miles from St Ives and a regular bus runs there if you don’t fancy driving and trying to park.

    Mine also came from Evans. Wonder if there has been a bad battery batch. I’ve been meaning to do a static runtime test of full to double check I’m not imagining things.

    I did a static test on my Mk8 Diablo last night after reading this thread.
    On the highest power setting it lasted 1hr, 26mins. Stated run time is 1hr.
    After about 55mins the indicator stopped flashing red and went off but the light stayed on for another half an hour.

    As long as the bodywork is in reasonable shape it should be a good project. Have a good check around the engine mounts though. If they are shot then it’s a major job to renew/replace them.

    By the way, all Vespas that were imported in to the UK are listed as ‘Vespa Douglas’. Douglas were the official importers.
    Do you know what model Vespa it is?
