Convert to CtBMs Bumble Butter.
Used for a ride to test on an hour long ride in mega heat.

Having gone 10 years without having using anything I’m a total convert.

Know the shop in Sevenoaks, great service.

Chris or Kieran were nothing but helpful.

Although recently I think staff has changed. Not been in for a few months so things may have changed.

Ah so it is a snow plough then.

Checked spacing between granny and jockey wheel?

Very strange!

Rather than use vaseline use clear nail Polish. Then if you need to remove just squire a little nail vanish remover which is more likely to be at home and not carried by your average NED.

Water with squash just enough to taste and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
Works well for me for younks.

I can ride to trails and join sections up with road. Good for cx blasts.
Recently been driving to the trails and enjoying that at the moment.

Generally mtb=smiles cx=miles.

In truth any bike=smiles

My mate renamed his to:

YoureMyWiFiNowDave

which makes me chuckle.

Sorry complete opposite for me.
I’ve had mine for 10 years.

Changed the bearings every other year. Not that they need changing, but I got a load of bearings for silly money.

I suspect the bearings would be classed as perishable so it might be tough luck via crc.

If the bearing size is the same I’ll send you a couple to see if that helps?

Cheers.

Onza that’s rather in depth and academic! I’ll give the big big +2 excluding mech then see how I get on.

Im on a ht btw.

As above, but found this site useful CCI

Can’t wait thought the last film was ace.

Hopefully (as others have already said) the series will be of the same calibre as the film.

Looks likei will steer clear then.

Can grab a Samsung A3 for ~ £110 whichseems pretty good..

Apparently there is a shortage of engineers. So should be ok.

Ta just what I was looking for.

Cheers Alex, I have a set of revs coming my way.

Just found this thread which says the frames were designed around 125 so will go with 120mm and see how I get on with them.

Cheers

Cheers.

I’ll have a look on yt.

Chatting with a friend about darknet and tor his view was that tor is akin to sitting on your bed with sheets over your head.

Everyone knows you’re up to something amd it’s pretty easy to find out. Since darknet/silk road made it in the papers its a bit of a farce and is just pants.

Don’t forget to protect the circuit from the back emf using a diode.

When getting MOSFETs get logic level drive ones.

Bugger, came back to X-Factor 🙁

redthunder, thanks very much for the offer, please forgive the tardy response, rather unwell yesterday could not even look at a screen.

The suggestion of printing out a suitable front for the characters is the method I will use.

Many thanks!

+1 for lakeland airer

I’ve got a set of SR60s which I modded.

Easy to do, chopped the foams and removed the film on the top. Then took apart and vented, bit more tricky but worth doing.

Got mine on eBay.

Cheers all, copied cleat position from falling apart shoes. Sadly now gone to a better place (bugger!)

I shall wait a day or so and continue tweaking.

Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it.

Twonks, ygm (if the forks are still on offer)

Ta. I will have a tweak (then move my cleats :?)

minisc????

I’ve found that food makes a massive difference to rides. Probably because I’m getting wiser 😉

Could you just post the recipe please?

Oh I didn’t mean that, can you swap x to y. . .

after 3 hours work 👿

deffo not happened this morning/lunch

Many thanks.

Not wanting hijack the thread nor tread on Rockhoppers toes, I’m also looking for some 80mm forks, so if Rockhopper has passed hopefully we can come to some arrangement.

Thanks.

SR60 get my recommendation also.

Tillydog. Bloody autocorrect 👿

Rob Ygm cheers

Nick on my commute/CX bike.

Epicyclo true, the major point I was trying to make, is some people aren’t happy paying the going rate, for a “simple” job.

It’s a state of mind 😉

I really like it, as has already been said, not shifting does NOT work. Try it out with a conversion kit, or go ghetto remove shifters, and front mech, then use current rear mech as a tensioner (which a bit of inner to get correct alignment).

Easy least to clean when having had a horrible muddy ride.

Give it a try!

It’s a mixture of issue. There were a number of bikes shops near to me. One was purely a family bike shop, flogging 4 bikes to A family and maybe getting a service..

The other bike shop was for proper mountain bikers, with lots of bling and higher prices. Both of which were in the next town. Fast forward to today. Both shops are still there. Family bike shop has moved and expanded their range, but still a family bike shop. The mountain bike shop has now diversified to include tri stuff and more blin catering for mid life crisis too much cash type purchase.

However there a re now a clutch of trendy bike shops, including an ebike store. Most interestingly there is a shop which is also a cafe. I think that Th cafe/shop/bike shop lbs has hit the nail on the head, decent customer service workshop seems decent and busy and a nice place to be. As has been mentioned lbs need to find a niche, offering something more than just a bike shop.

Could just be I’m easily swayed by the fact I can usually get something done on my bike whilst I have a bit of cake and then the work is finished.

Similarly the issue with some bike shops is their focus to customer service is non existent, due to being a sole distributor or just being arrogant ****s. I think what a lot of people do is look up how to do the job online and aren’t willing to pay for “a simple” job but fail to appreciate the skill behind the work carried out. Or are just intimidated by going into a lbs and getting ripped off (bit like going the reputation mechanics got). The other thing is some people just are of the option that it’s just a bike.

Waffle over.

Convinved a temp who was an arrogant **** that to finish the testing
of a panel, he needed to go to stores and get some fallopian tube.

The stores manager twigged, went into stores for a bit came back and
said none in stock. Gave the young lad a phone number and ficticisous part number. Phone number was for local hospital. All credit to the stores manager.

After that the temp wasn’t so bad.

Dibbs beat me to it.

Is it not Portabled Appliance Test?

Seaward testers are very good, record everything for you but come at a price!
