    He’s more than likely a cheat. Sports science stays ahead of testing programs

    Nick Harris who helped expose city, has investigated Team Sky/Wiggins/Froome and its pretty conclusive https://x.com/sportingintel

    Every tour winner from the last 10 years and the next will be exposed, much like Armstrong

    Scaffolder here and like others have said all the risk is designed out nowadays (at least at the top end of companies/works)

    An example here is something we did last year, instead of hanging over the side of a building hanging the scaffold it was built on the floor and connected at the top, we also use tethered fittings and tubes for real high risk stuff

    Hanger

    Also the wages are way off, post Brexit even a shit scaffolder down south is on 50K minimum

    One benefit of these (construction) job shortages is day rates are going crazy. My rates gone up 15% in the last couple of months, purely for retention. I’m starting on another firm Monday employed and they’re nearly matching my self employed rate

    I had AZ a couple of weeks ago (48) and had no side effects whatsoever. Though I was taking ibuprofen 400s as I’d smashed my ribs up, so no idea if that helped

    Scaffolder here, our jobs are generally 10ft lift heights so we always have over trades using the folding towers (with 4/5ft platforms). Its not an actual rule but I’d ask for a 3rd and 4th Handrail to be put in to stop you going over the edge, we always put a 3rd in on the top lifts for scenarios like this

    But yes a scaffold built by a competent person will easily take the weight

    The Pinkbike comments on this one seem to be agreeing he’s taking the piss. Irrespective of lockdown rules theres zero distancing or masks like us mere mortals have to deal with, Warner and Peat certainly aren’t elite athletes either

    One thing I have noticed is all the French riders instagrams output is full on training, whereas the UK one is lads bantz. Barring a fluke like the last WC DH, i doubt a UK rider will be near the top 3 at the end of the season (but thats another argument)

    Immigration from the ascension countries was probably the biggest driver for Brexit. At the time (iirc) every other EU country limited access to 10k or so for the first two-years, we had an open door changing the landscape in communities and trades/industries overnight

    No idea why tjagain thinks Blair had a racist immigration policy

    I’ve made 7 orders from the EU since brexit and none of them have had extra charges

    In the last week I’ve had 2 x £250 orders from Bike discount and R2 again neither were charged. I’d say due to the late nature of the “deal” they don’t have the systems in place to process 1000’s of small parcels without causing major backlogs or they can’t be arsed as they dont get the cash

    I wouldn’t fancy trying it with a bike but who knows at the moment

    Edit even if I did get hit one of the orders was for a pair of RSCs and that would have taken them from £240 to £270(ish), which is still cheaper than Wiggle/CRC at £200 an end

    Wiggle are currently selling Circus experts for £199 so you could build a decent one for that money Wiggle

    Buy this frame off pinkbike Astronut

    Then you have £400 to get wheels and all the finishing kit

    There isn’t much value post Brexit for new DJ bikes. The base stitched has gone from £799 to £1099

    None of the German sites are allowing UK orders, hopefully they’ll start coming up this week.

    I ordered some stuff from Bikeinn and Skatepro last week. Bikeinn seems to have left the warehouse in Spain but hasn’t progessed any further, the Skatepro order is still awaiting pickup
