I thought Glenlivet was supposed to be it?

That’s certainly what I was told when I was riding up the bleeder!

Oh yes, so you can!
I completely missed the downloading part…

The premier code is still active too by the way! Cheers deadkenny!

Find the Arai tent at a local bike shop. I have a shoei head, but I know Arai do repairs if you can find them.

To a certain extent they also take up less floor space if the boom is upright too.

Yep, I was struck down with it in September last year…

The first two weeks of the infection is when you can spread it – helpfully this stage doesn’t really show any outward symptoms with the cough beginning in the second week.
Only after the third week with a steadily worsening cough did anyone begin to twig that it may be something more than a virus, at this stage however you are no longer contagious and nothing can be done to help you.

I managed to control my coughing bouts by breathing very steadily so as to not disturb the mucus – but when they came I was vomiting and blacking out. I also suffered numerous strains from the effort of coughing.

I spent two months sleeping on the sofa so my neighbours weren’t disturbed at night, although sleeping was something I didn’t do too much of. I ended up coming home from work knackered, then crashing on the sofa and trying to steal as many minutes of sleep as I could between coughing fits.

I finally got back out on the bike for the first time in January, 2 stone heavier and with zero fitness.

If your wife is showing symptoms and being tested – I would assume it would be too late for antibiotics for you, so fingers crossed.

I also thought that… Why would you plan for a seaside airshow on a day with a high tide?

Was quite a nice selection of displays though and some stunning piloting given the conditions!

Adrian flux sorted it the other way round for me…

Crazy though innit? I have 30yrs NCD between cars and bikes and yet somehow that experience is not applicable to a van which weighs less and has more power than the 4×4 that it replaced.

See also multiple vehicles without submitting to their multicar/bike policies.

Does it come with a spare olive asks I?

I could see the issue if they sent you two short hoses, but as ambidextrous levers there is no such thing as front and rear…

I was expecting Peaty’s drop content…!

Nice and snug – with lashings of grease between the frame and plates worked ok for me!

Flying Scotsman is good

If it’s anything like the road races, there is plenty of parking provided on the fields at the top of the hill…

Lavazza red for everyday here too…

Usually use an espresso grind in my aeropress using the inverted method

I did coast and castles last week and slept on the verge of too warm in a 1 man tent using a pipedream 250 as a quilt…
I dropped on with the weather though, whether only not I’d have been OK with just a bivvy and mat I don’t know.

Having said that, I would have paid good money to have known I wouldn’t need my wet weather gear and spare layers that I had to carry whilst touring on a compact double…!

I have a set of chewy on my lurcher (rigid) and a set of hard on my five.
They have different graphics which are hidden by the grips…

I’m sure there may be a difference, but I can’t really tell!

I’d be more interested when they use a dynamo jockey wheel…!

#SHIMANOCANSENDMYROYALTIESTO…

I was about to suggest a skip in place of your car!

Given that 5w30 is often spec’d for hydraulic tappets, I wouldn’t if you can avoid it.

Having said that – if it really is just a top up <0.5L and it won’t end up turning into a rolling oil change, then as above – it’s better than nothing!

Damn you…
Hub ordered as well as B&M lumotec set from rose…

I’ve just dismantled my wheel in readiness for building!

Can anyone advise on dimensions for the love mud juice hub, otherwise I’ll wait to measure it before ordering spokes!

Oooh, I didn’t realise Alpkit did anything like that…
That changes things quite a lot!

I was looking at >£100 for a disc braked 32h hub.

…now then, do I relace the existing wheel, or try to find a matching rim and build a spare?

bike charge is very noisy in use and very delicate.

i would avoid.

Oh – tell me more…

It seems like a corner of the market which should be packed full of innovative ideas to get a charge for your devices, yet there is seemingly very little. And worse still, what does exist has very little publicity – I couldn’t find many reviews for them and the few there are give a split opinion.

Are they any worse than a bottle dynamo for drag and noise?

My other thought was to use something like this:
Folding Solar Panel
fastened over my tent on the pannier rack to charge a battery pack in a pannier, but that would be reliant on good weather.

Bone Arse!

With 10% off and a £10 gift voucher, it seems a much easier option than faffing with an old bottle dynamo and trying to jerry rig a reg/rec.

I am tempted by the idea of a proper hub dynamo and german lights, but that ain’t happening soon!

the php version is what you get from the popup bit of facebook – if you get the image on an actual page instead (although I can’t remember how to do that) the URL is correct still.

Add to the above, that like any insurance there is also an excess to pay for every visit.

does anyone know what does the graphene do, to enhance the performance?

I also wondered this – given the inherent property of graphene is strength, but not in the conventional sense.

I assume the carcass is still made from cotton or synthetic thread.

[cynic] Is there even actual graphene in the product I wonder? [/cynic]

We had this one recently…

“I won’t currently name names, or locations until I’ve researched this a little more, but I was recently contacted by a Parish Councillor who has received a complaint from one of their residents
The complaint is because a resident has to drive onto the road from her home between parked cars.
Groups of cyclists regularly use the road at the specific time she leaves, and she’s checked with her insurers and if she was to drive onto the road and cause cyclists to hit her because she can’t see them approaching, it would be deemed as her fault….
Thus she feels the need to complain.
I kid you not.”

Fantastic innit?!

Thanks for that…

Now I have an ear worm of epic proportions!

Sorry Bigfoot, bit of black humour there… DCC are currently midway through tarmaccing it!

You see I don’t understand that… As a dog owner I can be charged for not keeping my dog under control – this would include having the sense not to take my dog somewhere that would likely cause the dog to become less controlled eg. A field full of sheep.
Yet horsists get to moan about the fact that their half ton lumps of value ready meal are spooked by cars, motorcycles, bicycles, plastic bags in hedges and a whole variety of other random nothings and the consequences of half a ton of meat thrashing about uncontrollably are considerably higher.

Rushup edge…

Sorry

P.S. What is German for two rubber seals (2RS)? Perhaps it’s 2RD?

I don’t know if a 3rd party insurance company is ‘allowed’ to write off a car without your agreement? They have no claim to it unlike if you were claiming through your own insurance. Or perhaps you have the right to buy it off them…

This.

They need to put right the damage caused by their client, doesn’t matter if it costs ten times more than the cars value…

Sheldon Brown has a few ideas for brakes on 27″ frames running 700 wheels on his repository…

Wow, I didn’t expect such a large and varied response!

For clarity, it’s me that’s the introvert… Although her mum is too and she also shows strong tendencies!
We also don’t yet live together.

As I mentioned usually she is pretty good and our relationship has grown from ‘I don’t care who you are, I don’t want my mum to have a boyfriend’ through the biological father fuelled ‘you’re not my dad, I don’t need to do anything you say’ to cuddles on the sofa discussing the days activities.

Her mum and dad split quite acrimoniously six years ago, and MrsLerk has more or less been responsible for her care as a lone parent – she will gladly admit that she has at times given in to behaviour for an easy life and also cut a lot of slack due to the emotional trauma of the split.
We have been aware of certain comments/ideas which have been planted by him during time spent at his house and she is suffering from a bit of internal turmoil, not wanting to upset him.
I have spoken to her to confirm that I won’t replace him and point out how much happier her mum is now.

I have been encouraging her to use her bike more (bought her a new one of better quality for her birthday last year) but it has taken a long time to get her comfortable with the idea of doing something without her mum, who is unwilling/able to ride one.

Sounds like I’ll have a few years of bike rides and tinkering in the workshop to come!

Not being entirely local, I assume Snipe Park Road will be where the (Ex) Rippers and Hewers live?

I know it’s Harworth but even so, that’s a bit harsh!

For non-Facebook users

I’ve had an eBay special A180 (I think it is) for the past 6 months.

I wired it in so there are no wires trailing everywhere and the design means that it is more or less invisible…

You do need to download your ‘saved’ files once in a while, but other than that it just works all by itself. Starts recording as soon as you turn the key and stops a few seconds after it is removed.
It has a g sensor which saves the last segment in the event of an accident, or you can choose to do the same with a button if you see something daft for instance.

This is the sort of footage you can expect…

I have some skins 3/4 that are just plain lycra with mesh bibs…

One one smorgasbord and crossmark exo is what I run.
