I’d buy an electric car. The way I work suits the range perfectly. The price isn’t huge for something small mild the leaf. But I’m not certain I understand how much the battery leasing costs or works.

They sold them all and that is a success.
but not concerned about having a company with nothing to sell appears nonsensical.
Not having a product for basically 8 weeks is a chunk of the year where they run a website with adverts. Sell nothing. Why isn’t this a problem for the industry? Why doesn’t this happen during the period of time when people ride the most. Like upgrading turkeys at the end of November nad promising new stock by January.

If the subject or camera is going to move or vibrate (drone or mounted to a bike) I’d use 60 then in the final edit reduce it to 30. Double and half the frame rate reduces the creation of interframing. Going form 69fos to 24 fps created a half frame to cover the basic division problem. If you shoot higher you get less blur between frames captured. Smoother footage. 120 on GoPro looks great and offers you a quarter speed option without reducing quality.

We’d be happy to pay full price if only people had any to buy. It appears that the industry sees august as a month of sales they’re prepared to write off as having nothing from current or coming year would be madness in the food sector.
Trek did this for my road bike. No stock in Europe last year.
I want to buy a bike.
You have none.
This is not a success for a sales industry.
How is this simplistic?

Sadly the insurance company budget won’t stretch that far. But it goes further than Marty fieldmans estimates.

Bargains are great. Stock are out. It’s akin to supermarkets moving the isles about as a sales technique.

Got off the phone to Scott. They were decidedly uncomfortable about what we should do for an as yet undecided period of time before next year starts. If we had answers we could make a plan- it’s all a bit of a mess. Amateur hour every year.

Do they use dice? Tea leaves? As every year it’s always a surprise? Does the importation planner look like Marty fieldman?

Had a simila visit recently sadly they got away with something. Queue cctv and gates if it were legal, land mines.
I went to maplin and a spotty lad shows me a swan system. Wired better than wireless which still needs power. I have three round the house. And a special surprise one hidden inside the cellar. Hoddies off once your inside eh?
Easy to set up. Wires all over the place and the unit hidden behind the telly box. Works well and now I’ve spent 300 quid I’ll never see them again. Possibly more effective than the boys in blue.

Depends on how much you would like to spend. I’ve tried inserts in glasses didn’t like contacts. Prescription lens in transition worked well. Then my eyes aged.

Much more reasonable for something that I will drop. Just need clears and tinted.
I have racing jackets.

I’d buy the third issue. The first one won’t be typical of the content (had ages to collect good stuff) the second issue will be stuff that didn’t make issue one. Third issue is the one that will give you a realistic idea about what goes in each month.

Wow. So simple. Now you make yourself appear like every other individual bathed in bluing arms.

West Yorkshire fuzz didn’t feel bothered when we lost a bike. Nor were they bothered to follow up the forks turning up on scum-tree site. Two weeks later
‘we called be he says they’re sold nothing we can do really’
Feckless arseholes imo. Take care of your own stuff cause the cops don’t care.

Popular model then.

Very sorry to hear that, perhaps consider that they would have been happy to have been found by someone they cared about and cared about them. rather than being found by a stranger? May I ask if this was a natural cause? You can get help, it’s not considered poor form to be affected by it.

We went for pedal cover and I will reserve judgement until the recent claim is concluded. Radio silence right now.

Okay house is cctv surveyed. but the bikes forks (ones I build from a mixture of parts) have turned up on scum tree. What to do?

Heard the day after the event about a stabbing after confronting a burglary. Kind of glad I didn’t go outside.
We now have cameras. Lots of cameras!

Don’t think quietly was on the agenda. Two huge bangs as they kicked the door in then bashing about the cellar let me know they didn’t care. Having though about it my bombers were away that night.

They took bikes that I had assumed would be too difcult to get to. Sadly I was wrong. Strangely if they returned to the cellar for the bikes they had seen and found them all gone why continue? The owner has clearly noticed you’d been and would be on guard. They don’t want road bikes as they missed the road bike to get to the incomplete bike. CCTV and a solid steel door is on the way.

Wanted them nicked. Wanted them in the back of a riot van so I can wave at them. I bet my wife’s bike the good guys would come thorough. Fail.
They nicked an old highly recognisable bike.
They ignored road bikes
Through the forced door that’s all they could have seen. Holiday time for the bikes and battleship steel door for the cellar.

Carefull with those chocks! Oops.
Several million bits now useless

Thinking the Saab seats are quite a bit bigger and I’d like a plate which was closer to the width of the seat. Thanks very much for helping.

The other side to the rugby club is all free and depending on arrival time should be pretty empty.

Our roof conversion for the Austops pop top roof was quoted at 300 for the bed, which as far as I can tell is a sheet of 18mm plywood and 1 inch of foam.
Which we made for 50 quid. However the bed could be better if, it was lower to start with and had more foam padding. Hence the plan to make one lower using metal. I’d happily pay 300 for something clever or well designed, but 300 quid for a sheet of plywood?

True, I can Imagine it and sketch it on paper but perhaps they’d like some deign work?

Anyone inside the bike industry got an opinion? We feel railroaded and more than s little let down.

Thanks Blader, as I said, it’s a year old and now kind of unsupported. Not fit for purpose anyone? Really peeved as we’ve been left in a limbo with this. If she needs a 30 try arguing that not being able to have one is kind of the same as not needing one honey.

4600 did it first, it was so good at being difficult to use they tried again with 4700!

Tiagra has a ‘unique’ cable pull ratio and won’t play with just about anything else.

All the standards is why I’ve elected to stick with the bike I have. It won’t fit any of the standards of today and it makes ‘…the trails appear perfectly alive thank you for asking’on a 26″ not fat, straight head tubed, non electric, 9-speed, QR, alu tubed, externally routed, screwed in bottom bracket, non-uppy-downy seat-posted triple-ringed type monstrosity.
When the industrial magic bull-pooh roundabout slows down a bit we might go shopping, until then no thanks.

Was thinking the same. Bearings are common.
Cheers.

Good

Okay, Thats sounds positive.
Thanks

Just did the park after San Francisco, Marin and Santa Cruz before the park.
Didn’t go anywhere near bikes other than the MTB museum.

Could’t get a permit to joint the other ‘hikers’ on a the ladder up half dome. Can’t decided if we missed anything.
tuolumne meadows is beautiful
and worth a visit. The distances are huge and a drive to somewhere close is a epic day out.
Glacier Point is a short drive to a walk but well worth it if you get to the top of one of Sentinel Dome at sunset. The place is just huge. Watching the lights of the climbing teams on the face of El Capitan revealed just be the head torch still send a shiver down my spine. Love it all.
The half dome tent village is a bit like M.A.S.H without the jokes and the food. Typically is is money removal machine designed by companies.
I would still go back at a moments notice.

We got back this year from a visit at that same time. Enjoyed it loads. We stayed at the Half dome tent village which was less than perfect but good for being in the middle of where you wanted to be from first light.
The mountains are spectacular and even if you just view them from the road side they are amazing. We had very little water in the waterfalls but then again lots of sunshine. The park is a no go moutain-bike area so don’t bother.
Best place to go would be a camper on one of the quickly booked sites, As good as camping but with somewhere to keep you stuff and cook in in the evening. I’d go again in a heartbeat.

How good is Helen skeltons agent? Poor at everything yet ON everything!
Good work on the result. The flying athertons are go!

Oh balls another true hero gone. A generation we owe a lot to in terms of courage. The last of a very few select bunch.
