    34 waist and found the leg cuffs of their waterproof shorts a bit tight in the large size and could have probably done with XL. Usually the large in other brands has generous room left so not a chubster. At least i don’t think so…

    £18 Chinese carbon bar and no issues used on full suss. Also carbon saddle no issues, but my back side might disagree

    Either that or vba to create a function for the sheet. It was beyond my abilities. Might have an example at work but can’t promise

    Again not sure of budget but for a decent battery life and plenty brightness magicshine f3 eagle feels like hope r8 brightness for 120 on eBay. If they’re still there.

    How was it that you blocked individuals?

    Daughter did the same thing with school in Clacks. Big step up from Lego as building the robot is only a small part of it. More about logical sequencing and programming instruction ‘blocks’ to achieve tasks. So things like turn left wheel x degrees, turn right wheel y degrees.
    Without the teacher and group tasks she’s lost interest now…

    Load of idealistic bollox. I can’t work any closer to home but doing the commute by train makes it 125% versus 84% changing that answer.

    Usually plans are costed on age at policy start so the chance of these illnesses increases with age. There are policies that are reviewable and premiums can go up after ten years, or the level of cover drops. Check the premiums are guaranteed.

    Is this tied to your employment? If you leave and the policy lapses you will pay more in open market being older; Or your health might change.

    To call it critical illness it has to cover cancer heart attack and stroke with a minimum definition. Price can vary depending on how many illnesses are included but gets very hard to compare and there’s an industry around doing this for financial advisers.

    The definition of Total Permanent Disability looks tough but if it’s a decent price that shouldn’t influence too much but any doubts then speak to a financial adviser. (Which I’m not)

    Magicshine f3000 eagle has great burn time and is not far off r8 in the light it gives out but 120 to 140 quid.

    Battery is bigger so a bit heavier but nice spread of light with no hot or cold spots.

    Total Permanent Disability is one of the ‘sweep up’ benefits on a Critical illness policy. The benefit pays if you are totally and permanently disabled, which can be very hard to achieve when you read the wording. It also can operate of two different definitions of occupation – either your own occupation or a list of “work tasks”. If you’re a desk jockey it should be Own occupation, but check.

    The exclusion on Income Protection is probably more of a risk to be honest.

    A prolapsed disc is likely to be an exclusion in most providers for these benefits for a period. 2 year symptom free might get you standard rates if you hadnt had time off work, but you are probably looking at 5 years or maybe 10 for some.

    Having the cover is more important and the vast majority of CI claims are for cancer. If you are symptom free you can always look to rebroke it in a couple of years and your adviser will get another wedge of commission too.

    Now if only there were ten folk on here looking for carbon wheels with dt240 hubs.

    Sympathise but always feels more like an adventure being out in wild weather and slop. Embrace it and lots more of the year is fun rather wishing weekends away.

    Last time it was proper dry and dusty all the grip disappeared!

    Galibier tights are very thermal and although are not waterproof they do seem to resist the cold from the rain.

    Really well put molgrips.

    I struggle that family is supposed to equal happiness too, yet life doesn’t always turn out like that. Riding bikes seems to be a constant though!

    Tried fasting for a day but have only managed it two weeks out of the last month.

    Being at work was ok but hard coming home at night when the habit is to graze and get dinner made.

    Managed a 40 min gym cardio session and an hour light trundling at night without a problem and helped to distract from wanting to eat.

    Concentration at work definitely suffered. Really kick started weight reduction though.

    @MacCruiskeen – thanks! Realised i was tee-ing that up, but well done for resisting going to town.

    I have knives. I have chisels. Hadn’t realised i was missing a tool! A couple of suggestions here added to the list.

    What’s a chisel knife used for?

    Morticer pillar drill for me. Perfect joints every time. Or side wall drive sockets. Genius.

    I had a mate who raved about his VFR750 and I ended up getting a VFR800 one as more of a commuter than my Fireblade. It was an older Blade and have had RF900/CBR600/NC30/TZRs previously, but I absolutely hated the VFR and destroyed my confidence riding.

    I wasnt expecting a sports bike handling, but it felt particularly ponderous to change direction. The killer for me was it gave no feedback on the front end, which always felt like it was about to tuck – particularly in the wet – despite trying a multitude of tyres and fork setting and position through the yokes. Ended up replacing it will an old ZX6, not that it sounds like that fits your brief, but I’d advocate a shot on both given your own bike history.

    Yes same issue for me with them.

    Finding Tweeks cycles to be a similar issue.

    Will now actively avoid them and pay more for somewhere that i know id’s more reliable.

    ^^^What are the clips the pedal attaches to? Does it work for clips or flats only?

    Looks great BTW

    I’ve had similar issues with a non stealth version. Had to replace the barb on the button on the bar that was ever so subtly leaking.
