Am I the first to no log on to a work computer daily?

My 170 has been perfect for the 4 weeks iv had it, hopefully stays that way

I had the same problem yesterday fitting my B1, in the end I changed the hose and lever aswell just to be on the safe side.

Maybe not widely used but iv got a pair of the 150mm 650b ts8’s and they’ve been brilliant, no issues at all and Iv had them for 3 years

As the Captain said, plus Hickorys BBQ is a short walk away if your into that.

No I havnt, mine are due one though and iv been looking at magura spares.co.uk, I’m
Not sure if they are home serviceable because they use grease not oil

Iv got a ts8 150 lift select and it’s brilliant, works well in either 150 or 120mm travel settings on my bfe, mainly leave it at 120mm, to me or feels much stiffer that the revelation it replaced, the duel arch design is a bit of a mud trap but mine has been completely fault less for a year now

Sainsburys by any chance? I bought 2, a shots worth is nice in chilli or just drink it all

Yeah, I got a day one which MissSpaniel let me keep, it’s my Christmas present. Iv found BF4 to be very good but takes some persistence to get into online, it’s quite a bit harder than BF3, graphics are awesome though

Electric mountain in Llanberis I think is good, did it a few years ago, mountains are big when inside out

Yeah got mine aswell! Manchester here we come

Have you tried phoning the shop? Iv lost a single key up there before now and it’s been handed in, in going up in the morning so I’ll keep a eye out

Yeah £17.50 for me aswell, really nice piece of kit tho, havnt dropped at chain since using it with a zee mech riding coed y brenin, llandegla and the Clwyds on a hardtail

Oh also the PD engines suffer badly with DPF issues, allegedly the CR engines are a lot better, I can vouch for this having done 16,000 miles in the 15 months I have the car and I’ve never once had the regen light come on.

I have the same car, iv owned it for 15months now. It’s great, good on fuel and hasn’t drank any oil. It averaged 53.5mpg from north wales to fort bill 2 weeks ago for the DH World Cup and does 48mpg on the way to work with 5 people in it at 75-80mph, all in all a good car.

Working one until 9 today! My bloody luck with the weather, luckily got a cheeky ride on the cross bike this morning tho so it’s all good

Done and cheeky bump

The metric **** tonne

I doubt it very much, it’s melting rapidly but there was at least 6-8″ on the ground that hadn’t been cleared ( access road and car park were clear) at 4pm when I popped up this afternoon for a coffee, next weekend might be ok though

Hi, iv been using atera giros on Thule aero bars for 4 years now, they’ve been faultless, easy to set up and hold the bike without clamping it in place which is handy on hill’s, they are solid in transit aswell with a mate reporting very little movement whilst driving.

Having driven the A55 from st Asaph to broughton at 12:30 earlier to go to work, I wouldn’t say it’s treacherous, both lanes open in both directions. It was still snowing and has got heavier since them, I’ll update when I get home at about 10pm.

Ndg, I bought mine from wiggle, the lift select works really well but iv never used any other travel adjust fork. It came with a remote in the box, I fine it nice running the forks at 120mm on tamer stuff then at 150mm on bigger terrain, they’ve bedded in properly now. It took about 5-6 rides, they now feel a lot smoother and plusher than the revs they replaced, not to mention stiffer!! The double arch really makes a difference!

Mmel, your right that there isn’t much adjustment, just the air pressure and rebound, but to be honest the standard compression tune is really good, you won’t he disappointed we with revs though I liked the pair I had.

Jonedwards, the mt8 is a cracking fork, iv recently got a pair of 150 lift selects for my bfe and they are so much nice to ride than the 150 rev’s that came off it, they feel lighter in the holding them in the air test, the damping seems spot on and now that they’ve bedded in properly they are really smooth and plush aswell as bring really stiff, I’d certainly have another pair on another bike.

Mister P, what do you think of the fortitide? I was thinking of buying the frame and fork as a upgrade from the rigid 26inch giant xtc I ride now, thanks

R1chtea, iv got a e13 top guide and am using a renthal sr4 chainring, my chain guide is a e13 lg1 trail with the bottom part removed and just using the top guide, hope this helps

Personally I’d go with just a top guide, that’s what I use one mine with a clutch mech and alls been good so far, damn the greens nice btw! You’ll love riding it

Totally agreed with the AC/DC, Foo Fighters and Metallica, I’m loving Iron Maiden and Rammstein at the moment.

Westend cycles just off at Llandudno junction, just past the Mercedes garage, usual specialized and giant bikes, and nice moda’s the last time I was there, Tweeks as suggested above it a good call

Mazda Wankel brilliance

The best noise since Group B

I’d get the diesel, iv heard stories of 1.4 and 1.2 Tsi engines drinking oil and being prone to failure, I had a mk5 golf gti, fantastic car, drank about a litre of oil a month and never got more than 36mpg, have moved onto a 10 plate Leon fr diesel, feels exactly the same to drive apart from the obvious engine difference, it only feels slower when your really gunning it, it’ll easily average 55mpg on the motorway

Richmtb, have you tried it with the hope helmet mount? It’d be ace if that worked, I’m looking at one to compliment my vision 4

I build wings for the Airbus A330 line of aircraft, I like it, fun interesting work (on the tools), bikes are easy in comparison, and small

Could quite happily stand I’m the woods for hours just to listen to this!

My girlfriend and I bought a Bose cinemate gs 2 (2 speaker system) as a house warming present for our selves, it’s incredible, much better than the Samsung 5 speaker system it replaced and worth every penny, even though the acoustic mass module has been recalled, it is brilliant, watching tv, films playing games, everything’s really clear no matte how loud it is, you won’t regret one

Is the reverb bleed kit the same as a avid brake bleed kit? The syringes look very sinilar

I believe opa at llandegla have a sb-66 to demo

This week, wake at 4.20, bed when I’m tired, between 8-10 usually
Next week, wake at 6.30 when GF’s alarm goes off, bed about 11.

Got to love shifts!

Yes, I’m using hope floating rotors with avid elixir cr’s, iv had no issues.
