    Do I-ride still do Thomson? I thought there was no distributor for Thomson just now.

    Josh Bryceland was pedalling this nonsense on Instagram recently. Got a bit of backlash and deleted it.

    There is nothing wrong with cold beans from the tin assuming you can’t light the campfire to warm them in your tarp shack that you live in you bunch of filthy hobos

    I had one and really liked it. The sills can be trouble for rust but easy to check.
    The bulkhead protrudes allot in to the back so you may want to remove it for more space or get an after market one.

    I had one for a couple of years with around 40k on the clock and it was trouble free.

    Only negative was the power if it bothers you. I had a 1.8 turbo diesel and boy was it slow.

    I actually took it to a garage as I thought the turbo was faulty only to be laughed at and told that’s how they are!

    I’m looking into these.
    The consensus seems to be that they are all good and kids like em all!

    Look for new ones on eBay. I got a maxi cosi systemthat was 2 years old from an eBay outlet and paid around £200 for buggy, bassinet, seat thing and car seat. Think it retailed for £950

    I had this issue and nothing worked.
    I resolved it with a cat.

    Something not often mentioned is that if caught and charged you can spoil chances of holidays to the USA and Australia etc.
    With brexit looming could it risk your chances getting to anywhere? Unlikely but you never know.

    Have you taken a deposit?

    I would not pass up a sale unless I had some sort of certainty that the buyer 1 was collecting.

    I hammered a similar one that I found onto my keyless locked nut and removed it that way.
    It ruined the nut which I later replaced with a non locking one.

    What sort of tv? I can control my Samsung via a mobile phone app.

    My tv was pretty cheap too so I don’t imagine it’s a fancy tv only thing.

    Touched a nerve?
    Try maintaining your vehicle or ask your husband to do it for you and these issues won’t happen.

    The overheating coolant exploding story is nonsense.
    It was an issue in 2012 and ford issued a recall.
    If you are buying a ford check out the etis website and it will tell you if it had the recall carried out or not.

    I’m on a 2013 focus estate 1.6 Ecoboost petrol and it’s been fantastic.
    I had an issue where a turbo pipe cracked and it cost £43 to repair / replace the pipe.
    Has not a single issue other than that.

    I don’t do high mileage though and my one is sitting at just over 20k

    I have used Bontrager tubeless rim strips on nuke proof, dt and Mavic rims.
    Never had an issue and they are foolproof.

    My experience of crank brothers warranty would suggest they will not warranty anything…

    Thanks. Searching both but was hoping for a suggestion I hadn’t thought of

    Yup boost.
    I don’t particularly want to get a different travel unless it’s a real bargain. I appreciate it can be cheaper but the cost of changing the damper may wipe it out.
    Further to that I have relied on Rockshox warranty a couple of times and don’t want to risk it!

    My Shimano one has been faultless but no idea on cost. Came on the bike.

    Been on skis, only thin I can say is that out of everywhere I have been in the alps it’s the most expensive. Nice though.

    I don’t understand how anyone can be running under 25psi in a tyre. Do they not squirm / burp / roll off the rim frequently?

    If you pay for it I would be sure to ask for the damaged one for yourself

    There isn’t no product that is a magic bullit.
    I tried them all and it just takes time. Terrible sleep is normal for first 3 months and beyond.

    I can assure if someone made a product that got a baby to sleep better it would be the most profitable item in history.
    When I got to 8 months or so with my one if someone suggested an item that cost £3000 that would give you a good night sleep I would have gladly paid.

    I love my one. Rides nice but as mentioned a bit heavy.
    I don’t think it needs much changing from stock other than the handlebar which I never liked.

    The Shimano hubs are basic and an extra blob of grease in them before getting started is a good idea. I think the geometry is spot on in terms of a balance of long and slack / sensible / trail.

    The headset on my one is a bit noisy under breaking but it doesn’t really bother me.

    The only real problem is it had an odd size of seat clamp and no one makes a qr for it.
    I emailed Genesis and they sorted me out though.

    Think I paid about a grand which was a bargain.

    I don’t understand why it’s such big news. Is it because it happened in another country?

    its clearly abhorrent and tragic but it’s a country where they literally perform crucifixion for being gay and stone women to death for being raped.

    The murder of a journalist they don’t like seems like pretty regular behaviour for a country run by insane religious fanatics.

    Yikes English law is different to Scottish! They let citizens arrest on suspicion?

    “The security guard can make a citizens arrest if he/she have reasonable grounds to believe you’ve commited a crime.”

    Nope.

    I had a kid 2 years ago.

    best presents we got were a bath thermometer that cost about £2 from boots (still use it) and a big bag of marks and spencer microwave meals. We didn’t really have time to cook and they were a saviour in the first month!

    Wow I wish my baby had slept all day and been up all night.

    Trust me that’s a great start and beats up all night and day.

    In you situation I would be contacting the police and advising that you see him fraternising with children and you are concerned owing to his previous convictions.

    If he is on a register he will have stipulations of what he can and can’t do.

    If he is likely to be a danger to youngsters he will have conditions preventing contact with them and your information could have a result that makes your situation happier.

    In an affluent town there is money to be made detailing cars.

    http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acatalog/detailing-services-service-options.html

    That said if you buy a car that costs in excess of a million pounds I guess spending near £2000 on a wash isn’t that mental.

    Do people who think orange haven’t changed in x years or whatever think the same about road bikes that look similar in appearance?

    Trek make pretty big bikes in some models. Unlikely to fit budget but turner do size “Sasquatch” which would fit
