I prefer 685mm, although I am currently using 710mm as I gave my son the 685mm ones.
I keep moving my hands in as they aren’t comfy using the full width.

Must look out for some cheap 685’s…or get the pipe cutter out

Got mine today….so I thought….when I opened the packet it was just the empty packaging 😥

Rang Maplin…they said they’ll send me another

Also people take the pi55 asking where the pilot light is etc 😀

I had 2 cars over the last 10 years that I had converted to LPG…It was worth it as LPG was cheap and I was doing lots of miles. I have now bought a Mondeo Diesel however as LPG is relatively more expensive now and I’m doing less miles. Never had any trouble mechanically but you do have to keep topping up your valve saver (another cost) or your engine will lose compression and eventually wont go up hills.

Anyone know what the softshell jackets are like?

I wear lycra bib shorts as they’re comfy…sometimes I wear shorts over the top. On the road bike lycra is great in the wet
White lycra is all wrong however…..

I found mine recently in an old wallet….I have now transferred it to the back of my new wallet…….no idea why

Just ordered one….free delivery

Yes still using it…..not been using the gas though 😀

I’m usually against anything that is compulsory……Its unfair to people who can think for themselves

Luckily I’ve just been to Lidl and purchased some bourbon creme biscuits

You probably wont die but you’ll be crying like a baby while mouthing the words why, why?…..

Always turn mine upside down…I do have bar ends though!

Cant commute as its too far….but as Ive been working from home lately ive been doing an early morning ride before work on my road bike bought through the cycle to work scheme….does this count?

veetle works….sometimes on my ipod touch

I gave up eventually and bought the sky sports app

Will need eurosport soon too as well for the Giro

An Englishman, an Irishman and a Scotsman walk into a bar. The barman looks at them and says: “Is this some kind of a joke?”

A man walks into a pet shop and says: “Give me a wasp.” The shopkeeper replies: “We don’t sell wasps.” He says: “There’s one in the window.”

I live near Bacup…its been in recession since the early 80’s

Probably due to the weather….

I play one….concert size….not been playing it much lately though as Ive just bought a Gordon Smith GS2 geetar. 😀

Ukes are great for just picking up and playing something…the guitar feels like a double bass though when you pick it up

I average around 13.5 mph 😯

Yes, a lot more since I got fast broadband

😀

These ‘ll confuse em
Triumph

Lidl for me too

What happened to 650a?

Humphrey Bogart

Depends on the finish you want to achieve…I always used Bri Wax as you could polish to a high gloss sheen if required with a bit of elbow grease.
Brush on (using an old paintbrush 2″ – 3″), wipe excess off with a rag, buff with a brush (Like a shoepolish brush) and then buff to your required sheen with a rag/polisher

I have just zip tied to the closed guides…..i did try removing the hose but the olive wouldn’t fit through and as I didn’t have any olives or bleed kit or mineral oil I quickly reconnected the hose hoping I wouldn’t have to bleed the brake.
The only other thing I could think of would be to cut a slot in the guides just wide enough to squeeze the hose in.

I built my inbred from the classifieds and it ended up costing about £450.
I could have bought a decent spec inbred for that already built with hindsight……learnt a lot building it though and acquired most of the tools needed to maintain it.
I run it with some old but good 130mm z1 freeride forks at the moment and it rides well over all terrain.

Stiff Little Fingers…Blackburn King Georges Hall….early 80’s

Go up Blackwood road, turn left up rakehead to cragg quarry. Do a few laps then back onto Rakehead/rooley moor road till you get to the Lee quarry link. Bomb down to Lee Quarry and mess about on the pump track. That should kill 2 – 3 hours

Try defining “soft-shell”. I struggle with it and have done since I first heard of it in the 90’s.

I heard of them first in the 80’s…..they did Tainted Love
