    I know where there is one parked up in a field. Been there years.

    Looking at this from an entirely different perspective, the the above replies all have elements of truth, but that is speaking from a British perspective. Other cultures perceive accepting/ ignoring differently, so consider this if you deem the person requesting a link worthwhile.

    OP, is it a combi? Mine is having similar issues and apparently it’s a valve within the boiler that should stay closed to the rad circuit.

    Worst DIY fail I have seen is my sisters old house. The roof tiles and liner needed replacing,instead, the prev owner wanted to board the loft out rather than fix this. The solution? Line the outer skin of the loft, joists, felt and all with plastic sheeting. The result, a roof that leaked into a fully waterproof tank which immersed the wood in rain water.
    The first time I realised is when I gripped onto a main longitudinal beam and it crushed from my fingers.

    Insure it so the DVLA register that the vehicle is insured, then tax it online. Yes, you are not displaying a valid tax disc, but you are taxed and as such can explain your situation to the police if you do get pulled over.

    All you need is the details from the v5 doc, which, I’m sure the seller will provide.

    And to clarify, my son has aspergers syndrome, so I do know a little bit about the subject.

    Gears suck, sorry, I agreed with you. It was the OP I then commented on poor form. Re-reading my post I noticed it wasn’t clear.

    Why you’d consider being able to remember somewhere you visited only a year ago autistic like, is beyond me.
    A poor choice of description.

    This.

    I generally have a high regard for your posts but this makes me question whether you have had any real life dealings with an autistic person. Poor form.

    Is the problem that you frequently use puns/ veiled euphemisms when in conversation with women?

    How much is your house worth? Divide by two plus cost of slightly deeper excavation. Simples.

    My boy was Mario daft a few years back. My wife bought loads of characters/ figures online for a few quid a pop, far cheaper than Game etc. I’ll ask her in the morning for a link….

    I <think> you are getting the name wrong. Doctors Gate (Hamsterley one) is around 22 miles, goes very near Frosterley and takes in Hammers.

    Route can be found on Hamsterley Trail Blazers Website. There are a few, ahem, modifications I’d make to the route shown to take out the road sections, but look at a map and you’ll see where the short-cuts are. There is a couple of hints on that link too :wink:

    Well Mrmo, thank you for a decent rebuttal, I shall revisit this thread in a few years and either thank you graciously, or be a gent and say nothing.

    Is there a market though

    Really? Yes, and there always will be. Organisations like CRC are founded on after market sales. Today, the % of bikes out there requiring replacement parts or upgrades is at worst 80% 26er.

    Even if other wheel size does indeed take off, it will be years before providing 26″ bits becomes commercially unviable.

    Bike manufacturers are doing this to expand sales (not restrict) by diversification. So you honestly think they all sit around a table and ‘conspire’ against us or simply try to compete against rival bike manufactures who happen to make 650b?

    all the more reason to not provide parts, as parts wear you nudge the riders onto the new stuff by removing choice.

    No, while there is a market, someone will supply. It would take a concerted effort by all parts manufacturers to decide simultaneously to stop. Even then, someone else will step in.

    They can not and will not stop selling until it becomes economically unviable.

    The invisible hand will dictate. There are far more 26ers riding the trails who will need replacement bits than any other fad wheel size.

    Ir,

    I did the Cowgreen, High Cup Nick, Dufton, High Cup Nick Cowgreen route last weekend.

    They have been laying flags along the bog fest that was Rasp Hill.
    Not sure if they are working on Trout Beck but they are in the area.

    I once googled ‘Ninjas’.
    It came back with ‘no results found’.
    Well played Ninjas, well played….

    This forms part of my problem. But 10/10. Well played sir.

    Not North Yorks, but I know a shop in Washington that has fixed a number of my older hifi stuff in the past. He’s reasonable on price too.

    At first, I thought this was about a new fashion trend similar to smurfs on cars.

    I’m sure I have raced against/at the same event as at least 20 WC DH’s and plenty of other famous riders. TBH I was having a lot of bad days/mechanicals etc other wise…..

    Well, I can categorically say I’ve been to Hamsterley Forest and I’ve heard the Danny Hart trains there. So I’m the bestest and the fastest. By a long shot.

    The owner (Geoff) runs his own micro brewery for some very tasty real ales and his wife does a lovely meal. Nice area too.

    Well, sorry, but I disagree (from a geographical pov). I went out tonight and rode dry dusty trails to a back-drop of blue sky and fluffy white clouds.

    I just hope it lasts.

    Yesterday, my baby boy had his injections (14 months old). When I came home from work, he ran over to me and kissed me. He then sat on my knee snuggling into me for a full half hour.
    This is one of the best feelings ever.

    I can only go out on the bike at times convenient to my whole family.

    We, my wife and I, book holidays similar to that what I had and she had as a child, as we both feel we had very good childhoods and wish the same for our kids.

    My house is constantly in a state of noise, commotion and is generally cluttered with toys.

    I could go on. Kids are brilliant. I wouldn’t change mine at all. It does however, massively impinge on my life. I can’t say which is better as I have only lived this life.

    Out of interest, why do you think you will reduce your salary by moving on? Unless, of course, you have an idea what you want to do and it generally pays less.

    Is it retail in general or just the product/ structure?

    By all means move on for your own sanity, but try a different company with similar salary first.
