    Another Method

    Get old ‘Sacrificial’ allen key and lightly weld it to the bolt (sounds like Glue would not be strong enough)
    This will give you enough leverage to remove the bolt

    it does mean you have to buy a new allen key and a new bolt but certainly better than drilling etc

    I got the cage less version and trashed one in the middle of nowhere.
    Rode 15+ miles on the spindle to get back to the car

    Seals failed, knackered the bearings which bust the pedal body
    Want to send these back not happy! Anyone got an address?

    I got BT a few months ago. Bit like a Ronseal: does what it says on the tin. Installation was quick and efficient
    Had no problems to speak of with the connection or speed. Never had to use the customer so cant vouch for this. However I am expecting things to improve on this front as I was with Tiscali/TalkTalk before this, and didnt like them

    My last few cars have done OK
    Gold Mk3 sold at 125K, another Golf Mk3 sold at 135K

    Currently on the drive
    Vectra estate @ 140K and going fine
    SAAB 9-5 estate @ 90K aquired last year

    Dont think the make is that important to be honest
    I look after my cars (servicing & anything need doing gets done)which is key
    Anything that gets neglected, used & abused wont!

    I get the same big time. Been building my fitness up but get it at the end of a ride. Im pretty convinced its salts loss from the body
    ^^^^ as stated above

    I tried a electrolyte drink at the weekend and it worked a treat
    Even tho I mixed it at low strength it still tasted yuck

    Would prefer Hula Hoops, love hula hoops I do ….. now if you could get a powdered drink version :o)

    I love my H-Bars. Have got both the Jones Ti version and the Titec
    Shifters are possible. I found my alfine shifter fitted niceley on the outside of the bar with the brake on the other side.

    Would really like to try some loop bars……..anyone?

    I have gone down the electric route twice.
    First was on the conservatory floor, and secondly in a wet room.
    Both under tiles but on top of some insulation to stop your heat going down instead of up!
    Living with both these is pretty easy. We set it to be ‘Warm’ not hot and leave it switched on controlled by the thermostat.
    Beleive this is the most efficient way just to leave it trickling along. If its switched off and cools down it can take quite while to come back up to temp (1/2 day) and its this that will consume more power.

    I rekon the mahoosive footprint of the fatties must be prone to picking up more thorns than ‘less attention seeking’ more normal tyres

    Martin.B

    What’s the point of tubeless fatties when you have to put so much fluid in?
    Must weigh and have more rotating mass than just having a tube

    To mirror some of the sintimants above
    Open, Honest, Frank info is what they need now

    Flows for me all the way, strong rim and not had any problems so far.
    I run tubeless now and have had no issues at all

    Have used only a track pump to inflate tubeless tyres by to get them to pop and seat properly on the rim.
    I inflate to max tyre psi and then if needed roll the edge of the sidewall
    I get a seal every time very quickly and didnt need the fluid to get the seal, just in case of thorns / nails etc
