    When I had my own animation company, It bought a Kona Major Jake Carbon CX bike. This was then loaned to me to ride.

    Worked out well

    Scream, by Chris Cornell is really good. Everyone got all “it’s not grunge…” but it’s soooooo good

    NO WAY! Orange rims rule!

    I managed to get the tyre off with a screwdriver! Taped it up and then used my 25 year old Co2 canisters to inflate. Worked 1st time!! A miracle!

    The tyre hadn’t quite seated so I attached the track pump and gave it some more. It must have got up to about 200 PSI before that last part popped.

    Thanks all!

    Just got to wait to for the front tyre to arrive now….

    I ordered this back one from ChainReaction at 20.30 last night, it was on my doorstep by 0930. this morning! amazing service!

    I’m now trying to get the tyre off as I’d not taped the rim. I’ve got one half off. I think I need a tow truck to get it off!!

    oh, BTW, I’m doing this with a tube at the min. New tyre so getting it to take shape before tubeless

    Yep, that line is in/out all the way round.

    Tyres never used to be this much faff back in the 90’s. :D

    cool, cheers. What’s the best way to get it out all the way?

    I’ve tried pumping it to the point of almost exploding, but it won’t pop

    Had wobbly tyres for years, finally going to sort it, and attempt tubeless…..

    I went on Tuesday.

    The stairs appear to have vanished from the Devil’s staircase section. Shame really

    Original monkey is still closed too

    Has the Companion app changed?

    I didn’t have the map with all the buttons on it anymore. No way to control direction, use power ups or photos.

    Also over the last few days I’ve had my first KOM and sprint, only to be beaten seconds later by a massive amount.

    The sprint had most people in the mid to high 17 seconds, I did it in 17.0, as I crossed the line a rider cane flying past in 13.9. Quite a margin on a sprint.

    The KOM , I got beaten by 2 mins. Again massively ahead of the “normal” times for that day.

    Just a coincidence that there was a super fast rider? Weird

    A mate and I once drive out to ride at The Trough of Boland. On getting there I discovered I’d left my spd shoes at home. We packed up and we’re going to head to Merlin to buy some new uns. We passed a group of riders and stopped to ask them if there was a nearer bike shop. One lad said he had a spare pair I could use then drop them off where they were staying when we were done.

    So amazingly I took his Specialized shoes and we had an awesome ride. I dropped them outside on my way home (no one was in)

    That’s so trusting, I could have ridden off into the sunset in them

    Top guy!!

    Same offer form Sigma and Mavic.

    Sigma offered me a pair of new uns for £800, down form £1200

    What did Sigma do?

    I can’t for the life of me think how this hole happened. It’s in the carbon aero section, near the spokes. I’ll try and get a pic later

    Yep, it’s my wheel.

    I’ve messaged Sigma sports, lets see what they say….

    Yep, it’s a damage hole, not drain hole.

    I’m 99% sure it’s my wheel he gave me back. I’ve got the serial number, will check today

    I got a very funny look from the shop assistant in Morrisons last night when I stepped away from her when she was verifying my age at the auto-checkout.

    It’s tricky – if you are further away, you’ll look smaller, so she’ll assume you are a child and not authorise your booze.

    Best reply EVER !! ^^^^ :D :D

    Oh really?? I’ve done it about 6 times, sadly with a 8 year gap between last year and the previous. Guess I don’t count?

    Well up for it this year 😁
