Diagram and instructions for the V notch procedure please.

For some reason mine has started to dig in at the middle as I have managed to make a gap from the middle to the top of the toe(if that makes sense) so it pushes in there now. Going to try whiskey tonight see if that helps, TBH I didn’t realise that you big toe moved that much.

Never thought of DHB……goes off to look.

Was thinking of endura but I’m hearing that they don’t last that long? :?

See the rains finally arrived and it’s time to check how sealed my light is now. I was going to do the jug of water test but bottled it. I will try and get out this week in the rain but it will depend on my toe getting a wee bit better.

Antibiotics I want me toe nail off , looks like I’ll be visting 3 para for their special treatment . I’ll probably be dead in a week and wont be a strain on the NHS then.

Wear it in the shower.

Not as bad as my toe! Just take it easy and your wife will tell you when your ready to ride again if she’s anything like mine.

In Doc’s now waiting with a throbbing toe and a mouth ulcer, ffs what’s going on I’m falling to bits.

Try searching for wooden fenders, they are nice @a nice price.

I use Marino wool ones, ok your feet get wet but they stay warm, had seal skinz but the build up of sweat just ends up staying in the sock. Try the Marino ones they are better.

We have got very wet sleet, but constant rain all day by the look of it in Haydock, think I’d rather have snow.

So what’s the down time after they do the op, a week or just a couple of days?

Out with the woollybacks tomorrow for a newbie ride around Billinge, looking forward to it.

Try warming it up so it expands and it might just fall on.

Have you looked at the superstars web site their bb’s are cheap as chips.

Just use touch up paint over the contacts before you use the adhesive, that’s what I did.

Who have you put in that hole?

IMO bike wash.

Hello and good luck you will need it.

I tried bleach in the washing machine(to get rid of the smell) it was like a foam party in Ibiza, cleaned the floor a treat. :mrgreen:

What about shower shine pre ride? :|

Personally I dry mine off with an air compressor.

Yes next question.

Hands up for cilit bang anyone. :mrgreen:

Isn’t that pink?

Now build something like the IMO car wash, so you can just sit on your bike get an all over wash(once a week) and blow dried at the end. I’d pay for that service. :wink:

I’ve got a set of Manitou’s with 20mm axel, but had to fit the firm spring as the medium(standard)was too soft for me(fat)..

+1 teeto

Just done Ph test with muc off and got a reading of 11.3.

Just set up stans crests with halo choir master ust tyres, really easy to inflate and could probably use them with no sealant but not taking the risk, as my mother said always use protection.

I’ve an used iron and news paper.

Tape or rim strip I don’t think it matters. I did mine yesterday but used tape it’s a bit more faffing but it turned out ok plus I am using ust tyres. Follow the instructions on the stans web site and you can’t really go wrong. If you use tape don’t forget to fit a tube and tyre first for a couple of hours as it helps push the tape down.

I use a 7.4V pack and it works ok?

That’s how they are don’t panic.

I don’t know what Kaesae uses but I use silicone grease and it seems to last longer than other types, but I really pack it into the bearing. Max bearings are expensive and if your changing them every 6 months then your better off getting cheaper ones.

Just to the right..

I live here..

Two lump hammers comes to mind.

If you have electricity in the garage then why not get a heater with a frost thermostat

If you do find an LBS that stocks them put it on the post because I’ll order from them. Good luck
