Bent RD?

Sainsbury’s stock Hibiscrub start using that all over your body, inlcuding your head and under your f-skin (assumes you are not jewish?)

Also don’t search for the muslims beheading infidels – that will give you nightmares

I will remember Private Lee Rigby forever

Err – Stroking your Wookie?

nothing- they did you a favour

sounds like the village idiot where I live

Compared to 20 years ago XL now was L for me 32″ inside leg so I find XL ok with the saddle all the way back – I could really do with a set back seat post also

New bike will be heavier

nothing much has changed in the last 20 years

forks still have round telescopic stanchions that reduce trail on corners and 2019 fox 36 flex badly compared to 2002 Lefty.

the main different is wider handle bars, shorter stem and longer top tube

If you really want a new new bike that offers you something new – get a EMTB

we could learn a lot from Bashar al-Assad and Putin I don’t see their states being bent over and raped by the EU like we do.

in the uk we have the outlet of Brexit – makes you wonder what would happen here if we didn’t have that

AYE

Uber driver gives it away.

Ferrying prostitutes/Drugs/Weapons around London is very lucrative and no tax to pay.

and some banks have fixed rates at 1.6% these days fingers crossed for a no deal and 17% interest again!

Nice looking bike apart from the rear cassette which looks like it weighs a kilo

I refuse to buy another new car until I can get something close to a tesla (hopefully Dyson will do this for us) for £30K

And the OP is correct Rudolph Diesel Born 1858 invented the engine we are still putting into new cars in 2019, if it wasn’t for him we would be buying steam cars today.

At least Hitler’s U-boats embraced the E-power

Also I am pleased car sales are down and Honda is closing – it serves the industry right for being greedy and lazy.

Mega puddles on top of local hill and nice loop with the wind in my back then the dreaded return with the wind in my face, but so sunny here today

Where is this Manchester or London?

Forget what you know and get an EMTB

you dont need winter tires – you need a landrover

I wouldnt trust anyone to build a wheel for me.

best way is to buy the parts and assemble the wheel your self – then pay a local shop or mechanic to dish/tension it.

this way you can lube the spoke threads with the correct lube and know its a bonza job.

Afterall, the first thing you will do when you get a new wheel is balance it, right?

I have done 3 wheels like this and have refurbed 6 Crossmax Wheels this way.

Sometimes its the only way you can get what you want – in this case I wanted a V brake UST 26″ rear wheel.

The Brompton is worth every penny – well mine is – I have a 2016 S6L – compared to a road bike it accelerates like a rocket, and dont forget the rear suspension, also it is very stable and you can forget your riding a folder with 16″ wheels.

I got mine from the bike shop in Malmesbury- they are official dealers.

Mine was thier Demo bike so I got a £1050 bike for £750

I tried the “m” bars but found them too flexy – the Straight bar has a slightly taller stem and is rock solid.

My only warning is that when you hear something rattling on the back- dont ignore it – its the derailiuer bolt which goes in from underneath. I was lucky though otherwise it could wreack your back wheel –

Also on the New Intercity Express trains mine doesnt fit (all the way) under the luggage rack as I have the extra long seat post!!!

I used mine from Swindon to NEC (12 miles a day) for a year and its still rides like new. it paid for itself in 3 weeks!

I love mine and even though I dont commute on it now I am keeping it.

do you know what volume spacer is in there? – if you have the largest – try the next one down.

Jealous calling – I havent been through Keswick since I did C2C a few years back, what kind of height do you get in 3 hours?

What about these factors:

Send our recycling to China
House pyscotic murders on free Full Board for life
Pay farmers not to grow crops
Restrict free speech with our legislature
Have a hereditary Monarchy and call it a democracy.
Have nuclear powered and armed Submarines
Have homeless people in our towns with Tuberculosis
Cant stop the illicit drug trade.

also if you are 29er then a 29X2.8 is likely to be havier than one of the tires on Audi A6.

I think the drone flyers are heros, but they will be treated like Emmeline Pankhurst or Nelson Mandela, imprisoned until we realise we are all wrong then awarded and celebrated.

I would like to see drones fylers around the kingdom doing this randomly at all airports.

Yes and I consent to arming Dark Justice and Authorising them to execute the kiddy fiddlers in public on camera

# Nick I have the same problem mate, not to mention XL bikes getting smaller.

the Bette is a good call but it uses 2mm steel and the Conoduo uses 3.5mm so even tough its a bit more expensive – it is worth it.

not a problem in the summer I can fill a 10 foot 3000 litre pool at 35deg C from my system set to 60 deg c

I have a 185X90 upstairs which isnt big enough for me so I am going to do a 2 meter one downstairs as I have a concrete floor.

Ideally it would be 2500 X 1100, but I cant find anything that size available!

Net Migration over the last 20 years is the main driver of house price inflation which is why our children have little hope of owning a home unless they want a 300K mortgage.

and even with the govs target of 100K per year it wont get any better – we need a target of -100K per year.

Shock of Shock Migrants have ruined our housing market.

I think all my problems are caused by the mud hugger and the clay that I ride on – the MH would be good if mud didnt stick to it and in some parts of the country that might be the case.

I have orderded the puny syncros bolt on guard (£15 posted Tredz) and If it doesnt cover the rear of the front tire very well I will extend it, hopefully it will be a bit higher than the Mud hugger, so that stones dont get stuck in it.

I never had any issues like this with my lefty bikes, and BTW my 2002 lefty 130 defects less that the Fox 36 under braking!  but apart from that the fox is a great fork, even if the lock out is harder to reach than on the old lefty,

The MH is no on a 26er Marin with a 2.2 tyre and it looks a better fit (ie more clearnace)

Cant wait to see how Tight the 2.6 Butcher is in the Foxes

Mine is DDRY and if this a 27.5 fork then Im a monkeys uncle…..also does anyone know what those 2 small threads are for on the rear on the Arch – is this for a mud gaurd that doesnt clog?

its on my 2016 Cannondale Moterra LT1- FOX Factory 36 FLOAT FIT4, 160mm, 3-Pos-adj, 15QRx110mm, Kashima Coat

But like I said the distance from axle to brige is 26.5cm which is 26er size! so are there only 26er and 29er forks produced?

I thought if I was buying a 27.5 wheeled bike – then it would have had a 27.5 Fork and frame?

I make sure that I do the odd bit of daily housework (that my wife hates doing) so I can use that when the accusations of being in the garage all the time come my way.

I have  about 12 to 15 bikes to maintain- when ever I get asked how many bikes I have – I always reply “why – do you have some autistic counting symdrome?” that usually shuts them up.

Then theres the car collection……no excuse for that!

Resurrecting this thread as on saturday I was using a 650b Magic mary and mud hugger ( on 110×15 hub) and eventually the front wheel jammed up completely.

So I figure while the MM 27.5 is great in the summer – I need something which gives me more front mud clearance.

I know I could just chuck the mud hugger – but it does such a good job…

Luckily I have another bike with a 15mm X100 Hope Pro2 Evo on a 26″ rim with a Fat Albert tire – I fitted it today and the mud clearance looks much better.

So now all I want to do is use the 15X100 hub in my 15X110 fork, as a temporary winter fix.

Is the best option for me 2 X 5mm Spacers and a 5mm Disc Spacer?

put another shed next to it and get one of these to live in it.

A night mine gores effing mental and wakes the whole street up when the car thieves are trying to find unlocked house doors to nip in and get the keys.

I wouldnt trust him to fit a wheel on a car in Kiwk fit

Where I live we spend £1.5M per year on Druggies and Alco’s – I used to be the Local Drug and Alcohol Treatment Commissioner (2009 to 2013) and I when I paid for residential Rehab I would always make the druggy give up thier council house and pay all of the benfits to fund the Rehab!  I made the drug workers very cross and the patients cried alot – but i was not about to waste one more penny on these idiots than I had to.

The subcontracted drug treatment provider could only ever manage to get users off crack or heroine and onto 40 fags a day – that counts as success all the way up to the Governments Statistic

Who knows what happened – did they have an arguement – did they have history – either way I have cancelled my trip to Morzine for next June.

Also Guns have no place in Society and should only be used by criminals and the state.

I am happy with 7 speed 11-28 and ZEE  mech

for the sake of a 20 quid mud hugger your reverb would be fine, Droppers I have
