Think of it as a horsethief for southerners

😆

Only used it once with a MK1 Joystick, Great service from Exposure. The light is still working now along with a couple of other Exposure lights.

In correct pre load is a great way to accelerate the wear on your BB in my experience.

Do you get a free trailer with that? Ouch.

They will be std bearings so you just need to get the number off the bearing and then chose where to get it from. I have used Simply Bearings and always had good service. There is a debate about buying cheaper bearing, Chinese etc, and replacing frequently or getting a name and hope to have it last a bit longer.

No experience of MBbearings.

Healing vibes….

It is only a T shirt, you can still get out and ride the bike and not die. 😉

Down bags are great for warmth and pack size. The trouble is they really suffer if they get wet, much more than a foam bag. I have found a bag liner is good at “topping up” if the bag is a bit short on insulation.

It is a while since I have looked at bags but I think that there are now low bulk high insulation foam bags.

Edit: Don’t forget to store the bag opened up and not compressed in the small pack size.

This may help.

I have yet to check my self but I am in agreement with Northwind. It is the retailer who is responsible for sorting the warranty and not the distributor. The retailer will most likely send back to distributor for repair/exchange.

Used these a while back.

@Onza Yes as you say in the workshop on the stand but when in use when the bike and you are moving about I cant see that you will be able or will notice the difference.

Rate of return is set by the air pressure.

Slow stuttering video could be down to the laptop performance. Check the spec of what you have. The graphics card on the laptop may be a week link as well, check drivers. Also the video viewer may not be ideal.

The file format is most likely to be the issue with the PS3. You will need to save the file as a video format that the PS3 will work with.

+1 on top of the bucket and flip over after 5-10 mins.

No you have not missed any thing. I sometimes get a mare but normally they go on fine.

Not good news but there are at least 2 sides to every story. Any press release from KS yet?

I suspect that this will now mean that the European bike shops can now sell items in to UK market. Who knows, maybe this was part of the problem between Pure and KS. I am sure more details will emerge in the near future.

Old bike box from the LBS and then down to Bodge it & Quit for some pipe insulation and some tape. If the LBS does not have any axle spacers for front and back then some wooden dowel and plastic pipe from B&Q as well.

Not fitted and not needed yet.

Only testing 2 posts in the UK given that they admit to this being the most harsh environment. I would have expected a few more to be tested and abused to get a better picture.

Cable vs hydraulic was one reason why I went for KS Lev and avoided the RS Reverb.

Absolutely pathetic that someone felt the need to change it and email me to tell me off. Someone has far too much time on their hands

Did I miss some silliness?

Glad you got an amicable deal sorted on the bearings OP.

Swinley car park is not where I would leave the car after dark. No idea what time it closes though.

Say it as you have above. Not sure what bearings they bought at £25 each, that does seem excessive even if they are SKF etc.

Aye aye captain. 😉

no worries with Maxxis

Mrs TR here….my husband appears to have taken a very trivial comment I made earlier a bit too far!!!!

A husband should never consider anything said by the wife as “very trivial” IME. Mind you I get the feeling damned if you do and damned if you don’t.

Exhibit A: You buy her flowers and the response is “what are you after” or you don’t buy flowers and you get it in the neck for not getting flowers. 😡

This brings back memories of a Disco in Pompey.

Would this be relevant?

May be the same driver or may be Gary Cox of Berkshire Carpets and Blinds. It is not the same van as OP had experienced.

Why are people like this allowed on the roads and why do they not give some more room. It must make no difference to when they get to destination.

Poor show there by CRC. From your pictures that was never going to make it in one piece. Lets see what they come back with based on your note to them. How did you sign for it? I always sign as “unchecked” so as to not accept as “in good condition”. Yours is plainly not in good condition.

Hose the bike stuff down first to get the worst off. Wash it on its own, no fabric softener, and add some dettol to freshen smelly base layers etc.

Broke one the other week. Something pinged up into the wheel and then whoosh as the air came out.

Maybe the LBS is half way down a hill and he could not stop.

Maybe this should be a sticky.

This is terrible news. I caught something of it before I went off to sleep with the radio on.

Dave, sorry for your loss and the memories that stories like this bring back. As you say Rome was not built in a day. Lets hope that something is done now to reduce the loss of life on our roads.

+1. Never had any issues with them on the orders I have placed and received in good time.

I think you will find that the Heckler is built to take 140 – 160.

I tend to always ride solo. Best plan is to give Ms Busydog your route plan and ETA back and then text every hour say with where you are and if ETA back is still on track. Should help ease her worries. If it does go all wrong then at least they have a better idea where to go look for you.

Not got one but have heard of charging issues and heating problems. Worth a Google I reckon.

You’re toast.

This may help…

HRM and a basic cycle computer will give you a very good and cost effective base for training on a turbo. HRM’s have some lag so actual effort etc will not immediately show but they are still great tools. The HRM will give you an indication of input, Avg HR, then you have time and distance, output. Set your chosen HR zone and then off you go. Warmup and then reset the trip. Say in 30 mins you have travelled 13km before you then cool down. Repeat the same and you should see that for the same time and avg HR you will travel further. This shows your improvement. The turbo will give you the consistency that you will not get on the road/trail. The resistance will be the same each time which you will not get outside. Just be sure that the tyre pressure does not drift.

Training is about getting further for same effort or less effort to get the same distance.

I am not sure what trying to get to a higher HR is meant to achieve.

This one may be a little quieter as it has Elastogel on the roller.
