How often does this DPF regeneration need to happen?

And feel free to continue to post what the cars are like if you own one.

Whats this DPF all about?

Probably not going to be doing much more than 10k a year.

Cheers for the comments so far. Keep em coming.

Venice (Lots of walking but worth every step just let youself get lost in the back streets)
Florence (Arty, take a walk up to Piazzale Michelangelo for a great view over the city)
Rome (Mad but in a good way, a visit to the vatican (Sistine chapel) is a must)
Lake Garda (Stunning and peaceful get a cable car up Mount Boldo)
Verona (Nice for a day to see the amphitheatre)
Sorrento (Stunning location on the side of a cliff and great base for Amalfi Coast, Capri, Pompeii, Herculaneum)

ah ok thanks for that info

rootes1 what size do you have? medium or small? and would it fit ok in a Camelbak mule?

heading up there this weekend. im sure they havent changed much from a couple of weeks ago but just thought id ask again.

thanks for the info

cheers for the info chaps

Yes

The old ones are the best Mr Nutt 😀

Does'nt look like we will be as lucky as we was last Sept when we almost suffered sun stroke going up Fremington Edge.
We are travelling up Friday night so will miss out on the ride sadly.

Cunning Stunts – in!

sounds like i could be nearly there then if i get the dulux trade supermatt tonight and slap that on tomorrow.

Got a harris medium pile roller and thinking about it, it could be my roller technique as well as other factors like heat (i was painting last Saturday when it was baking hot) and cheap paint.

I am thinking of getting a 10L tub of Dulux Trade Super Matt later on and as its going to be cooler tomorrow get cracking with another coat of paint. Would it be worth watering it down a tad to keep a wet edge?

recently got a set of high rollers and must say they are brilliant!

sorry wrong section of the forum. Mods please delete if you want.

I have a hardtail Pipedream Sirius as my only bike, ive used it for the local weekly ride, wales, yorkshire dales, thetford, xc comps and its done me fine. I cannot afford more than one bike so thats why i only have one.

Local loop in the Thundersley/Hadleigh areas of Essex taking in several woods and ending up in Hadleigh downs, finishing with a cuppa in Old Leigh.

ill second Candodavid's Pipedream Sirius?? got one myself and its a great ride.

Here's mine, a Pipedram Sirius with carrier bag pump cover/waterproofer:

well i dont know with you tinsy ;o) but reading on looks like you have a frame from the same stables as a Marin and a Boardman so has some pedigree ;o)

as ive read on here many times its just hit and miss with halfords, but then again its the same with some DIY stores, its the luck of the draw who you speak to as to what advice you get. im sure tinsy knows enough to know when he gets told some BS

both bikes look nice mate, coming form someone who has just built up a cheap run about for his doris i think you have done well mate. im sure your wife wont mind the set up of it all or admire what gear it has got or hasnt got, she will just enjoy it for those icecream runs you do with your kids.
have you painted your lounge? i dont think much of the dado rail and come on tinsy can you not paint your radiator to match the white walls ;o)

ha ha you div! pipedream pic was taken in poor light so flash went off and the rockrider was in better light hence no flash. However i can see what you mean in regards the Pipedream pic. I can assure you its outside though :o) or is it ;o)
Probably a good idea i dont take any pictures of my bike in my lounge then, they will have a field day on here picking holes in the plaster work the lack of a fire place the dodgy carpet the lack of skirting.

tinsy you may be correct there. now i know why people take snaps of their bikes in the garden with a fence in the background or indoors with a nice big blank wall behind.

ha ha im getting more comments about whats in my conservatory than the bikes. isnt this a bike forum? or am i getting a taste of the legendary sense of humour ive read about that exists in this forum?

any more pipedream users on here want to post their pics?

never move mine.

that will be sorted this coming weekend wwaswas dont you worry about that :o)
well spotted with the homebase carrier bag its my gash looking pump cover to keep it dry and mud free in these winter months (idea courtsy of tinsy)

corr there's no pleaseing some people, like tinsy said its just a braking surface and i needed a disc ready front wheel hence the difference in colour (and my doris doesnt mind what it looks like).
I shall turn the disc's around tinsy as i dont want people laughing at my creation :o)

FINALLY WORKED IT OUT HERE YOU GO:

GF's Odd's and sod's bike

My Pipedream

now ive really mucked it up :o( sorry all.

how did you do that? this is my first time posting pic's can you tell?

Not really useful but i have the old 2009 sirius frame and its a beaut. Enjoy the new one when it arrives guys, please post piccys up once built. I keep asking people to post their Sirius pics but i am yet to get anyone to do so, we are a rare breed i think.

tinsy i bet it gets done before my first build.
one tip i can give is if you are using a headset off an old bike make sure you keep the crown race that is fitted to the forks on that old bike.
I kept the old headset but threw the old forks away (which still had the crown race attached)and am now either trying to find a crown race to fit or go for a whole new head set + crown race :o(

perfick! lets hope all i need is that crown race. Or ill have to get my mallet out.

ill tell you what tinsy, how about another bottle of bolly and ill take it all off ya hands………along with that 180 disc? ;o)

surely the headset you have will not work either if i have the wrong crown race?
