If you’ve got older forks now is time to start shifting them as the technology is out there to switch a tapered steerer for a 1 1/8th one

Tea and biscuits is very good. Redbull have a decent selection Redbull

@kryton they’ve just struck the holiday pay of the total furlough for e.g 28 days x day rate then/52 then take that figure off the 80%

On going back to work Redrow are opening there sites from the 18th no word yet if we’ll be going back as my firm pulled everyone off site before the sites even closed down

I know he had no idea that another kid would be born during a global pandemic but, **** me he’s politically bulletproof

I’ve got to the bottom of why my pay is short, they’re calculating weekly wage/80% x 52 weeks – Holiday pay

Is that a requirement or have they just thrown their own spin on it? I know its “free” money but the extra 8% taken is enough to make a difference

Bikebitz on Pinkbike has Saints for £250 at the moment

I’ve bought a few bits of him before (including saints) and they’ve been spot on

MT520s and cheaper brakes are fine but I know what I’d rather have on my bike running uplift all day

Lets hope he makes a full recovery and someone was able to get his car back home for him

Yeah but does he have the skill to ride in a pack of other riders

I meant to add strong as well :D I’d crush 717s as they’re going on the jump bike

Seeing as people are offering does anyone have a pro 2 26″ front wheel or anything that can be adapted to 110×15

@pigface series 1 was filmed in Hemel Hempstead old town and Hampstead

I think series 2 was the same as well

I’ve never watched it but it was filmed in my town and This scene (1 minute in) was filmed 3 houses up from me

I was walking past with the dogs and Gervais made a big thing about coming over and stroking them

We’re in strange times, you could probably put it up on Facebook marketplace/eBay for 70% of its RRP and get it

Anyone a Better Call Saul fan? The season finale was amazing, the show is miles ahead of Breaking Bad

If the Mac is set up with her BT address that should be her apple id

If you haven’t set up an apple id, go here Apple and register an account using her BT address, once she logins facetime/iMessage will be available

I use a smart TV hard wired with a powerline to keep the picture quality as high as possible (Netflix/Disney 4K)

I just use the TV remote and add any box sets to my list on the web browser

I got this for £319 with a sign up voucher Samsung

Picture quality and features are spot on for the money, it’s very well reviewed as well

South Korean news have been reporting that a missile launch is being prepped, case of the king is dead, long live the queen i’d wager

Pretty much

Nowtv on its own is pretty rubbish. Best scenario is hook up an Xbox/PS and use skygo if you can borrow a login

Piers Morgan’s rehabilitation is nearly complete

realDonaldTrump appears to no longer follow @piersmorgan. (This bot cannot tell if this was an unfollow, suspension or block.)

I thought the wording of it was you could drive to walk but not to cycle

This is **** amazing. Charlotte De Witte livestream from her terrace in Belgium recorded Thursday

Classic Dom

Wow: The Guardian has got hold of a list of SAGE members and turns out political advisors are sitting on the independent scientific advice group including: Dominic Cummings himself! Stonker of a scoop by @davidtpegg @PaulLewis @harryfoxdavies & co. https://t.co/ooYssekGgy

In a couple of days (probably after tonight’s press conference) it will all be forgotten about as he’ll say/do something worse, again

There is no bottom

That’s exactly what I did, I bought a new pair of brendogs just before lockdown and was going to just switch between bikes seeing as my DH bike wont be used for the foreseeable future.

As I said they’re fine but not a patch on vaults

I might be misremembering as the last superstar product I bought was when nanos originally came out but, the quality doesn’t seem that great compared to the originals, the centre pin placements could also be better thought out

For the price (with discount) they’re fine at full price I’d look elsewhere

I thought they’d sorted the sizing out, my 2.4s are massive compared to old 2.35s

Anyway I run 2.4 DHR2s front and rear on 25mm rims and it’s perfectly fine

Dr Brix is the latest victim of ETTD

Ordered some Tuesday and arrived today

Here’s the latest tidbits on the EU external borders reopening borders

Mtbbeds have already said they’ll transfer to next year but they’re just waiting on something official to come down so insurance will kick in

Absolutely no chance. Germany have gone further than anyone with setting the path to “normality” and they’ve said no large public gatherings till 31st August. And they’re miles ahead of everyone with testing/death rates

Fox flexair

I bought one of those keter plastic sheds (8×6 in brown) and built it a month or so ago.

I’d never get a wooden one again the things amazing quality and could be used for whatever you wanted to do with it (out door pub etc..)

You could train loic Bruni to win a road race.

You couldn’t train any current adult elite road racer to even make top 10 in the junior DH world cup

Purely for different surfaces @kuco

Everytime the tdf (for e.g) hits cobbles there’s always a mass crash, as road riders don’t have general bike skills to compensate

Apology accepted @IGM

As you probably now know (did you vote for brexit?) the UK are outside of the external borders/schengen. The external EU borders were closed down on 17th March, our borders are still open (bloody europeans telling us what to do)

Skill isn’t the ability to ride a bike fast on the flat

It’s like saying the guy at the gym who holds all the records is a good bike rider

@thisisnotaspoon do you have a YouTube channel

One of my favourite things is watching (sorry but it’s mostly over biked under skilled people) is searching YouTube for swinley crashes and your name is one of the top hits

Edit

I’m not having a dig

I subscribe purely because I recognise the effort it takes to try and run a business and it costs relatively nothing per month

I’ve never bought the mag as 99.99% of the riding/bikes/products bore the shit out of me and only read some stuff on the front page very occasionally

However the forum is a gold mine of crap information and minds who will answer a question pretty quickly

The pinkbike nugget is interesting, having been a member there since it started. It’s a much better forum (and buy/sell) but actual traffic is crap outside of the niche threads. Though that’s probably due to people debunking to discord groups

Edit though I’d suspect the pinkbike revenue is way above here
