    Thanks guys some good info there, will have a look on Strava heat maps but it’s a very rural area and seem mainly to be roadies or Mrb’ers that use road or double track. The olive and almond groves ( they’re the main crops around here) have tracks for farmers to access and if I’ve been up one dead end that looks fine on Google earth ive been up so many I’ve lost count hence the reason for some sort of GPS unit.

    Think I will give one a go, not too big an investment if it all goes pear shaped.

    Love mine, 1.6 120 hp diesel. From full the tank shows 890Km range(It’s Km per litre here) So economical, fits three complete bikes with the wheels on and three peeps easily. Cavernous boot, rear seats fold nearly flat or you can remove em, loads of toys on the titanium spec and very cheap here in Spain thanks.

    Bit of lube thro the hole first, think it’s underneath. Use a socket just smaller then the bush, with a bigger socket (to sit on the chainstay that will let the bush pass thru. Add a vice and Bob’s yer wotsit. Simples

    Yeh they go up tubeless. Very porous flimsy sidewalks though. Did you clean out the insides first with IPA or similar. Mine lasted a day before you could see threads on the rear sidewall.

    The house has a modern version of an andalucian ceiling, it’s basically solid with no access from above and the wires would have to cross two door openings so a chase is not feasible. The speakers might have to be relocated in my mancave and an alternative sourced.

    Have seen Sonos sound systems mentioned a few times on the forum,would they be suitable?

    No skirting board, it’s a tiled floor.

    Thought you might be able to get the amp to talk to the speakers wirelessly. It’s thirty years since I last bought HiFi, technology has left me behind.

    Yeh, it’s a Grand Tourneo. Fits three complete bikes, wheels on droppers up with the larger of the two split seats folded up. No problem comfort wise, done around 4k Km and it’s fine. It’s the titanium spec so lodsa toys and Very economical too.

    Hi Adam, just bought a Tourneo Connect to replace my Yeti. Needed a LHD car so got this for bike and general duties. Takes three complete bikes and three peeps with ease, might be able to squeeze four of each.

    Another vote for the Odd Pod here, used for washing and maintenance jobs on the bike. No problem doing gear indexing etc with it and pretty stable too. Even take it in my flight bag when I go away.

    I normally brush some latex around the stem when fitting if it still leaks with the soapy water test hold the valve to the bottom and give a good shake about. The stem needs to be quite tight IMO. Also put some latex around the ” O” ring if you have one.

    EDIT O ring under the round nut jobbie
