If funds were unlimited I’d give it a go but 1500 is a bit spendy

Transition , thanks and I think I saw that on matts (plush’s) page a few weeks back

nice one hatter – taking for a play next weekend

definitely would be which put me off

Im not 100% but seemed to be an issue when BOS got the YT contract and upped production levels .. quite a few reports on YT Forums of them creaking/cracking and being replaced..  mine make way too much noise now not to put me off riding them.

First choice was to make them good but not found it economical to do so .. can you point me in the right direction for a good company i can call ?

im afraid out of warranty (By a month last year 1st set)- Came with my Capra back in 2015 YT only cover for 2 years , Jungle said the same- Got a set off a mate to swap CSU over last year and now both Creaky – Will both be up for spares if any interest.

Massive shame as to this day they are the best forks i have ridden but

Was looking at Yari – Avalanche mod but can only find OEM ones from merlin for 400 – Price and importantly warranty then become issues.

If i get the ribbons im going to be buying from the UK service centre (Plush) so i am less concerned about support and sorting than perhaps i should be given my history with high end small co (relatively) suppliers – Im sure MRP dont take august off

Ohlins are a bit out of budget and ability !

sorry a bit more info may have helped -im running the Devilles at 160 mm and really dont need any more than that

The Yari looks great value but im concerned at the lack of fettling options – What Upgrade you running Steve Lufftkappe / Avi

The dvo – just not for me

The Suntor looks great bang for the buck but I am finding it hard to buy Suntor

Think im going to pull the trigger on some coil ribbons anyway .. wish me luck

Ask her round for a cup of tea and cake show off your how well decorated yours is and suggest that you ask your decorator to quote .. Thank her for her patience whilst you have had all this work carried out and reassure her that you want to make this right .. If she is not happy id go with plumber and bite her hand off as it sounds as if there was no post and pre surveys?

I’ve a completely free day for first time in a month , so of course it’s tipping it down :)

Holy thread Hijack .. can i jump in on this to get some feedback as my fixed term is due to end Dec 18 and sadly I don’t really have anyone to talk to about this type of thing ..

Purchased 265k Apr 17 with 2 Year Fixed through Coventry on 25 year term

MIP Dec 16 Repayments 1065 PCM which is about 1/3rd of take home including Commission after pension deductions and about 45% of my total outgoings

I have put 20k into renovating and still have another 5k or so to go and the area has appreciated so hope to realize 280k as value and will have 225k Remaining balance giving around 80% LTV

My job is as stable as I guess we can all hope for and should get a significant increase in basic salary Jan 19.

I am however at present holding no cash reserves due to purchase and refurb which is a massive concern.

Was looking at 5 year fixed 2.19% but extending term back to 25 years which would reduce repayment to around £950 .. My intention is to finish renovating / pay of credit accounts (2k) By December and then focus on putting 10k away for a rainy day by latest July 2020 and then focus on making over-payments (10% of remaining balance allowed) to reduce balance of mortgage before reviewing.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

That runs mental when super dry and dusty , cant judge the terrain as its so variable .dust bowl and hardpack. had a few offs last year and definitely steeper than it looks in places !

Healing vibes to the daughter

Think i remember a tv in the pool area when i stayed in april but not 100% ..give em a bell

Brilliant for a night out after BPW .. its still a bit wild west well was in April .. but should be ok on the early KO .. does get a little lively later in the evening !

The bute arms might be a good bet

I missed last 2 years – year 1 sold ticket on to a mate on the proviso if rejected no charge he never got asked and paid me the cash .. same last year asked for ID said he left at home got rejected ..

Luck of the draw .. is it Saturday or Sunday its for ? might be a bit lax-er if that’s a word after the main event and a few beers.

Difficult to flog on with the uncertainty attached, I have a friend thinking of joining us sunday i could ask if its for that date

Wow – i feel better about my woes now .. Leaking shower feed encased in wall plastered over / Wooden floor laid on tiles and a bit of hidden damp  is nowt in comparison to this lot .. Im interested on why a lot of thsi was not picked up on survey though ?

Or did you not get one ?

But England are going to win the world cup on the 7th Weeksy will be many beers !

Few of us at BPW on the friday though if you fancy it

The default answer is yes is Luton is Mos Eisley space port incarnate – however i’m only 9 miles away so costs next to nothing to get there for me – where as city whilst lovely is a PITA . also how many is we as £70 quid a head saving might be worth the suffering

Thanks all I’m picking up a s/h frog from not 5 miles away tomorrow  . Mini me is excited and we will be up the park as soon as I finish work :)

Thanks All,

V8 – hes not forgiving either so may be an option and i think it looks better than the CNOC

I like the early rider but think hes a little small for a 16″ bike unfortunately .. Maybe for christmas and i will look on ebay for a frog for now !

Mine loves it – actually asks if we can go out on it some days -and i tend to strap his balance bike to my backpack and ride to the bmx track for him to wizz round. its on my hack early 90s mtb and i wouldn’t see much point in putting it on anything better as above its really only a bimble around tool as anything remotely lumpy transfers straight through  the top tube to the poor kids spine. I second or 3rd the cold – went out in January on it and poor mini me’s gloves were not good enough and we had tears from cold .. Cup of tea and cake at the cafe warmed him up luckily enough to get home. i fear there is not to long left for him as hes a big 3 yo and I really need to start him pedaling.

Minions front and back for years – DD 3c out back is the only change ive made

Malcolm Gladwell revisionist history – interesting topics

Non comedian or MMA shows on Joe Rogan podcast

Waking up with Sam Harris – although dropped off a bit recently

Anything from Dan Carlin but Hardcore history is amazing

New Stephen Fry pod great leap years

Under the skin with Russel brand if you can put up with him playing class clown occasionally

The Infinite Monkey Cage

History on fire

British history podcast

Went to the Zoo the other day .. stood there for a while trying to figure out why there was a French stick sat there in the middle of the enclosure.

Zoo keeper wandered by so said mate whats in here ?

Oh that … Its bread in captivity

Exactly like that :] gets yer head on !

Aye – different strokes for different folks – I actually enjoy Badger /Pinderosa but would agree that blue to the road makes more sense if your cold.

Full Marin is a nice ride – in and old school out there kind of way but you wont see to many folk so I wouldn’t ride it alone personal .. however you can just winch up the fireroad climb and do the excellent final decent a few times over without to much risk

This time of year definitely CYB more bang for your buck and no chance of drowning on loop 2. Id do the Beast but cut across at post 79 take fire road up to 117 to Addams family .. you wont be missing much .. best ride in the forest In my opinion

Thread Resurrection -anyone about Sunday for a ride ? day off dad duties this week .. Paul Thursdays don’t work for me as have my son .

<span style=”font-size: 0.8rem;”>Bagstard mail sent  </span>

My 2p’s worth would be pay the £150/200 and get an independent damp surveyor in to diagnose the problem properly first.

I had three different quotes when i needed work done , all with different (ish) causes and remedy’s ..

Got an independent surveyor in who mapped out what it was and how to remedy and then found a contractor willing to go off his report

Please don’t do it to him

<span style=”color: #444444; font-size: 12px; background-color: #eeeeee;”>if you *have* to mark the dates you’re passing the time wrong</span>

I prefer my way

Mine this year . Was going to splurge and fly a spitfire but need a new bathroom first . Bikes mates and beer somewhere I expect & maybe a festival . If you don’t mark the dates your just passing the time right

I’ve currently a Blackline A6 Avant – done 70k in last 3 years .. will be sad to see it go back in March ..wonderful car and faultless ..  Ive ordered the A4 avant this time mainly due to the 40k limit mentioned above

That i was snowboarding .. my group are going snowboarding next week .. im not going as need new bathroom drive and patio this year .. bad times !

You Can add additional games/art to the Nes classic and Snes classic very easily (Google Hakchi 2). But as pointed out RetroPie is usually a better option if you have any literacy .. Also can get it pre-configured with Wireless Controllers via ebay etc .. will have 2600 up to PS1 on it !

I bought this before Xmas, it’s a really good bag at a v cheap price. My hardtail fitted fine with the air out of the forks but I suspect a full sus would need the handlebars taken off

https://www.merlincycles.com/raleigh-padded-bike-bag-clearance-106297.html

Thanks Bargain needed a new one for the one or two trips a year !

Well back and it’s fair to say it’s not a great trail with all the gloop. the first 5 k wasn’t fun in the slightest , after I’d got up a hill it was a bit more friendly. Would be good for a summer night ride ..I’m sure I’m missing the best of the place however so someone fancy’s a bit of guiding one day I’d buy the beer !

Ampthill I know chicky we’ll last time I was there it fractured a vertibrae Looking forward to more exploring of the chilterns In the summer have some nice loops local but no more than 17 miles

Thanks all will have a nose ! It’s a mud fest everywhere so will just get on with it !! I’ve moved from Watford so believe it or not where I am in Dunstable is an Improvement :)

Long day in the saddle usually means a trip away/abroad .. so beer or wine mostly !
