bought a lorry load of knock off inflatables and now the Police are after me!

gonna have to lilo for a while…..

could you not deal with a Madison rep direct, get them to place one large order to equip your 30 bikes rather than starting an account?

+1 for Andy @ Ride with Mee

knows Gisburn well but would travel anywhere in NW really…

Sram Butter is basically Slickoleum, but im not sure you can find it any cheaper. or you can use slick honey grease.

for the oil, you can buy 0w30 engine oil but it not the same stuff! i dont really know if there are any alternatives…

Ecky Thumps routes sounds interesting – what the conditions like right now?

i bet someone like Bikes & Buddies would buy it to use as shop display…?

anybody lose at bog crossing roulette?

i wasnt all that interested in playing online either when i first got mine but its incredible!! massively expands the use of a single game – millions of folk still playing GTA5 all these years later. i have the new COD, hardly even touched the campaign mode yet…

Was his appearance on Extras that ill always remember him for…! :mrgreen:

Huge fan of the stuff in any format.

especially M&S corned beef crisp bakes!!…

My dad recently re-married and his new bride has a massive bee in her bonnet about it, she is repulsed that we all enjoy it so much!! :mrgreen:

yeah bridleways are icy but the up on the moors is prime time, you can completely straight line across all the bogs to Pilgrims!! i imagine interstellar will be pretty quick today!

Well the tools don’t fit in my current end plugs so that’s out, they are also a pain to remove so I might take a punt… as mentioned tho my bar ends always look mangled so dubious how long they will last..

agreed. dunno when it happened but i suddenly get enormous pleasure from good socks. dont want any for xmas tho, unless i specify them!!

go bonanza and ride Wharni afterwards

yeah ive been using the tool and slugs for years, just never stored them in my bars before. it is a bit fiddly, its a good idea to have one loaded up ready to use, but yeah usually have to drag the slug through the eye with my teeth!

readily available on ebay i believe? i still have loads from a couple of wedtite kits – i cut them all in half!

was useless anyway. always had to type ‘singletrack *subject*’ in google for best results.

love it submarined. ive got ergon gd1 grips that have their own plastic end plugs – reckon i could probably wedge my tools in with blutac!

i often drive <10 minutes to ride too, but thats usually when the dog is coming along as it avoids the road bits. also good to have somewhere to shove the bikes if we go in the pub afterwards, maybe grab a dry jumper… takes zero time to park and grab the bike out the van!

Wahaca are becoming a bit ubiquitous now, especially in London, but they are my favourite places to eat ever!! dont care if its a chain!!

also very fond of Barburrito and Chilangos!!

I dont like being in Nando’s actual restaurants but im a fan of their wares… often get a takeaway chicken pitta (with all the gubbins) and sneak it into the cinema!! delicious hot fresh and tasty!

5 Guys burgers i do like too but last time it literally cost about £30 for two burgers and chips!? give that a miss in future…

McDonalds is a tricky one because kids happy meals are a big convenience and they love em so is good leverage too. trouble is trying not to order yourself something when your at the window!! but thankfully those times you do serve as a good reminder not to bother again for a while..

agree about subway tho, stinks.

yeah actually could well be the BD&Co Regal…

i have the little one-up components one. its so discreet theres no point not bothering – and the other day i lifted it up to install a new chain but forgot to put it back down, lost my chain on the first run!

in fairness it was Deep Navigation at bpw…

ok thanks, sounds straight forward enough.

what about the damper on the flue?

so stove fan, as with anything the prices vary massively – any recommendations?

i just wanna know how to use it properly.

does indeed look like the evergreen maple thanks!

and yeah it is a bit too fussy, hence me trying to obtain a user manual of some sort!

i wondered about that, i did once (under supervision) attempt to get the stove as hot as i could to see if it would have any effect on the logs, but nay.

bump for the ass polishing procrastinators…

best thing on Netflix by miles is Master of None. but its neither a documentary nor a crime drama…

Preordered mine too, but pretty much lost a day downloading the updates!! Only played MP so far, few matches of Domination… I’m **** rubbish!! Averaging about 4 kills and 15 deaths per round! Can’t remember it being this hard!? I’ve not played for a few years tho…

Also finding the whole barracks, options area a bit baffling?

Sounds negative, but I am enjoying it. Reluctant to start a campaign on a Sunday or I’ll be there all day..!

Thanks for replies. Amazon Prime to the rescue!! Tomorrow’s probably a right off tho…

Ffs I just butchered my airshaft trying to release the piston!! Shaft was rotating freely in the rubber golf shaft clamp, so wrapped an old inner tube round it and clamped with some molgrips – bolt came straight out but I’ve got some substantial scuffs of the shaft…

Ime dragging yourself out when you really CBA is usually hugely rewarding!! You have a great ride, remember how much fun it is and give your mojo a big boost!

Also when you have put it off once or twice in a row it gets more and more difficult to overcome. Just get out, even if it’s just for an hour or so…

loads of gear but only ever use the same two or 3 items till something new arrives and an old favourite gets relegated… also always wear again, maybe not sweaty bibs or baselayers, but shorts and jerseys will usually get a couple of wears unless its a mudaggedon

Snowdon is fair game after September. CyB and Marin are pretty close to ffestiniog, CyB has the whole shop, cafe n’that going on, and a choice of trails. Marin is the one loop with no facilities.

may as well nip up snowdon then?

i have one of these, makes the best deep filled toasties! only problem is you need two on the go!

have taken this camping and used in the fire too!!

there can be a lot of bread wastage tho…

half day uplift at stinkydog is the obvious choice. or better still make the most of a full day coz there is naff all in Beverley!

always XT for me. latest bike came with 11-40 so have added a one-up 45T expander. gear change is dreamy and no back pedal issues here.

Nobody chooses ‘trick’ these days…
