Ive got my Alfine 8 ona Singular Swift, which has seen untroubled service for the last 3 years. Ive specced the Cogs to be 34(wonky ring at the front) to 18, as I found I was spinning out too much at the top end. Changing the Alfine cog is just over £5 so easy to change as necessary to suit

Are your handy with a soldering iron?

Im shocked people actually link their bank accout to Paypal
Have you read the terms and conditions?

Why would you surrender control of your own bank account?
A quick google of ‘Paypal Horror Stories’ should give you enough reading material from now until next Christmas

Birmingham?

For growing kids, I’ve found the decathlon wetsuits pretty good in terms of cost v performance
They also dry quick which is a bonus

The meals in the Little John, were anything but little the last time I visited.

Sam, im waiting for the 29+ 😉

MrS B’s hairdresser has W37 CUT

Cant believe no one has asked this yet

Do you like donuts? 😆

Ok so you’re riding in the ‘Gorms (likely without any mobile coverage) with your wee spot tracker on and Wifey watching you inch your way through the hills. Then you stop for lunch, then you have a mechanical. Nothing wrong you just end up stopping for a while. At what point does she call out the MRT?

Did the Inner Cairngom Loop (Lairig an Laoigh) a couple of weeks ago and there was very little coverage all the way round
Spot trackers would be of use – I dont have one (yet) but believe there is a help button – Wifey would need instructing not to panic until a help message came through

Dont skip it ,,,, reuse
Hang used CDs in the garden over your vege plot to scare the birds

You still use CD’s?

Used my Alfine 8 extensively off road for the last 3 years
have replaced sprocket/chain, not much else required 🙂

As above – not really used in bike parks or downhills but done plenty of XC

I like the texture of the Cinelli Gel Cork Stuff
Feels nice, soft and grippy all in one

Its a brave brave person that farts when they have diahorrea 😆

Book direct through the Manchester Airport website
Cheaper that way – other sellers take their cut

Cut fingernails before scatching ?

A European Swallow
What’s it’s ground speed?

Is that laden (with Coconut) or unladen?

Ah but if you heat them quick, with a lid on they will need stirred.
To stir them you will need to remove the lid, so its less effective
Stirring however will increase the heat transfer rate as the beans are moving and will also even out the hot spots next to the pan bottom

One of these 8)

Big Virtual clap for Andy Farish. Big achievement to get to the end
Well done fella

Probably be able to smell each other 😮

Just been looking, Ian’s current speed looks a bit lower than Alan’s
This is going to be close 😯

My XTR went pop in the middle of nowhere they were early ones
I didn’t want to take the chance with them again and got XT’s. so far so good

Go me one of these for bike and surf duties, a right steal for £20
It’s chuffing ace and has a 10yr battery life too 🙂
So far it’s been very robust

My Swift EBB is so somple and trouble free (no creaking or slipping)
Makes the set up so simple, why would you want anything else?

Yes it runs no problem. I run one with my Alfine hub gear and its great 🙂

Anyone else notice the above photos of specsavers tshirts is out of focus. Oh the Irony 😆

In my quiet Yoga class, we were in a strong position starainign to hold it. Someone let one rip (one of the Lasses)
Stopped the class for the next couple of minutes as we all had the giggles 🙂

Was driving along in the car and Mrs B asked me. Is there a car called a ‘Vauxhall Rover?’
Turns out she was listening to a song on the radio …. ‘Funk Soul Brother’

Some good quality in the entrants. How long do you think it will take the winner?
Sweepstake. I’m going for 3days 6hrs

Has tried to hide his distinctive wall by putting up some sheeting

Put your foot down with a heavy hand

Weather Resistant …. In my book that’s NOT waterproof

RedX, if your getting rid if your shifter, then I will have it off you
Pm me
Mart

Thanks guys much appreciated, all sorted

Sean Connery bought me a pint 🙂

He was in Edinburgh to get presented with the key to the city
I was in the ‘Auld Clachan’ pub in Fountainbridge, with my Ex, when he walked in
Unbeknown to me was that the Ex’s dad used to deliver milk with Sean when he lived round the corner
He recognised her, came over and we had a chat over a drink. Nice bloke
Very surreal encounter

Mrs B suggested going to harvester for steak.
She didn’t understand the BJ bit until I explained and said we wouldn’t be able in the harvester 😆

I would lay some cross struts (using your 4×2) to raise the board platform height(would put them across the joists)
Then get some insulation board like Kingspan (high rating but thinner) and cut to size to fit inbetween the cross struts
Use the money you save on the wicks platform stuff to justtify the extra spend on the Kinspan. Should do the job nicely 🙂

Love my Swift, such a versatile frame will do almost every set up you want.
I had it SS, now it’s got an Alfine 8, rigid? or bouncy front … You choose.
Great for bike packing and does everything I ask of it and more
