    Good choice Cougar.

    I’ve watched this YT channel quite a bit and it always puts a smile on my face. They also try western food for the first time which is worth a watch.

    Just received 2 pairs of the spada pants in L and XL.

    After comments about them went straight to the XL and they fit ok. The ankles are tight but do have a bit of give in them due to having an elasticated bit in them. Don’t think they will stretch over winter boots

    Definitely tighter at the top of the thighs. Will decide in next couple of days whether to keep the XL. Shame as they seem well made.

    Spent many hours playing the original xcom. Going to see if this is as good.

    Had one for years after someone recommended them on here.

    Great bit of kit. One of the best buys I’ve made especially after a winter muddy ride. It’s almost essential for UK riding

    Scan have 4070 gaming laptops starting just £1049 and a 3070 laptop for £800

    If you live near their showroom it’s well worth a visit and have a chat with them.

    https://www.scan.co.uk/shop/gaming/laptops/geforce-rtx-4070-gaming-laptops

    Also worth checking their today only offers as they sometimes have gaming laptops offers on there.

    Really nice. I was tempted with the bird frame myself but bought a fully built Orange instead.

    After seeing your photos I think I made a mistake.

    Found this Well House slightly off a trail I’ve been riding for 20 years. Never knew this existed till this week.

    I was seriously considering one of these as an all-rounder, but snapped up a cheap Switch 6 frame secondhand instead in the end

    That Stage 6 looks great with the coil shock ?

    Thank god you chose one with “Evo” in the description

    Yep I wanted a shorter travel 130mm maybe but happy with the 150mm as I eat a lot of pies so may have bottomed out the 130mm travel.

    Will get the gardener to tidy the weeds up and sort the wall out.

    Make sure you put a lot of effort and time into fine tuning that Float X

    I need to get on this as it definitely needs tweaking ?

    Still early days but noticed it was quick on the downhills.

    Thanks all.

    I’ve been offered one at a good price. I’ve never owned a 29er but when I try my mates they seem to be quicker and a great climber.

    Some good info above from everyone. I would like the posts but it’s still not working.

    Possibly will be going for the lcd refurb as it’s a lot cheaper. And if I like it can always look at the Deck 2 whenever that comes out in a few years.

    Cheers poopscoop let me know how much you are thinking.

    Was leaning towards the oled but open to led screen.

    I know what you mean with the joysticks. I only use mouse and keyboard for online shooters. Couldn’t use a joystick for those games.

    I was looking at a refurb lcd 512gb for £319.

    That or a new oled for £479.

    Is there a cooling fan and is it noisy?

    Extra 15% off can’t be used with sale items though.

    It worked for me ?

    Edit, no idea why it’s put a ? there. It’s supposed to be a smiley face.

    Arcade club in Bury has an original arcade version

    Was at the Arcade Club a few weeks ago. That’s what restarted my interest in retro gaming.

    Hero 7 black has hypersmooth stabilisation. Can be had for less than £100 on eBay. CEX has them for around £140.

    I’ve seen and been tempted by some, can anyone recommend something?

    Harking back to v early days – scramble, defender ZX Spectrum games etc.

    The one in my original post has defender, scramble and loads of other arcade games as well as old games for consoles like N64, PS1, GB, Dreamcast etc.

    It’s got good reviews, screen is small but for the money is excellent value.

    Bought it from Whatgeek which is based in Hong Kong.

    I’ve built an arcade cabinet using a mini PC in the gubbins. I do fancy a handheld though.

    I can definitely recommend this one. It’s an Anbernic RG35XX H.

    Has Bluetooth, WiFi and hdmi port for connecting to a TV and using a wireless controller.

    Comes with allegedly 5000+ games for all the old consoles upto PS1.

    I’ve just added Mario Kart to the N64 section. Runs perfectly.

    they are totally worthless (IMO) as you can run emulators on PC

    Not totally worthless. Can you take your pc into the toilet when you’re making an offering to the porcelain throne?

    Cheers guys.

    I’ve never used the charging port as I always take the battery out for charging and transporting on the bike rack.

    I have used my worx washer to clean the bike but looks like I need to stop that and use a bucket and sponge on the frame
