    A stunning and obvious point is France is really big! So long days in the car are really possible and unavoidable. Breaking the journey up is required just to keep you sane, don’t try to bloke yourself through the night. I can recomend something more interesting than the cheap motels like formula one.

    Interesting bed and breakfast locations which would be better than a truckers hotel especially with tired kids.
    Make the journey part of the fun, and be realistic about your ability to remain awake.

    So I can drop the centre tube from the unit and just space the cups accordingly?

    Can’t compare as I’ve load of MTB but no road versions. I’d like to know if i can chuck an MTB version in rather than a brand new Road only version.

    Did you introduce a dog into the household? Its a simple animal. likes what it knows and gets stressed when something invades it’s house I does not like. Get rid of the fashion pet Dog and stick with the cats!

    Awesome role model for girls, and a leader for shorter women in big jobs! Great work, wish her well, at least she’s highly unlikely to shack up with one of the stewards, although he’d be fantastic at interior decorating and shopping!

    Couldn’t get tickets for the seating in the stands and went for the premium seats inside the track. Wish I’d not bothered. The view is appalling. Dizzy and can’t see anything at all.

    Is there ever a reason for the Fly off? Not had one yet but aware they can happen.

    That was annoying. Just added to the Daily Mail article I know is coming titled ‘drones cause Cancer’
    Putting it overhead anyone is asking for trouble, it breaks one of the most important rules. These things don’t glide back down when something goes wrong.

    I’ve got a pair of NAZA lite (upgraded to NAZA) flight controllers which I’ve given up on since purchasing the Phantom.

    Building your own is fun and I believe can have better more flexible results than an off the shelf machine. However since I got my phantom I have discovered the ease of flying it compared to the one I built. Perhaps more of a reflection of the constructor, but the phantom is way better. Lot on ebay now as people upgrade to the phantom 3.

    I broke one and the nice people at PC world swapped it for another which did work. Which was nice. I might have left out the quadcopter fence interface issue bit, but they were nice people.

    A rebuild onto a new hard drive wouldn’t be a bad idea. If you miss something you still got the old one. And a solid state ssd drive will be even faster.

    Any go pro footage starts with a confused face with huge nose looking into the lens.

    We put a battery in a mobiwash V15, and aside from chinese QC, it’s been good so far.

    Would putting brick sealant into the concrete help any, not going to be a permanent fix once the front comes but it might slow the progress.

    Can’t collect from work for two reasons

    1 I work all about the area and can be sent out of the office at a moments notice. I work from the office, but can’t promise to be in it.

    2 the company won’t handle staff post, collections or sending.

    The bank’s view is, I have the goods, return them. Simples.
    Still have to pay for the mess.

    Only problem is the courier can’t collect when i am at work, or from my work because of the rules.

    Won’t pay for royal mail just UPS collection 9-5 Monday to Friday.

    Confusingly a garmin edge 520. An order I cancelled back in September and got my money returned on.
    They are welcome to come pick it up.

    ollowing the systematic elimination of entire populations, leaving the continent “almost empty”, a “wasteland almost entirely devoid of any form of life”.

    Hopefully parking spaces might come easier.

    I’ve given up with Garmin’s dreadful software. My wife’s 520 is a folder which you can drag the recent event out of or put the next route into. My watch is next to useless as it needs a driver to read it and express is very poor. Strava (for all it’s bad points) just works. Garmin connect is that special sort of ‘Septic’ irony, eg it does not connect.

    This is just the most depressing and honest thread ever. I cannot ready any more without getting really sad.

    I used a method of checking the caliper seals using bog roll behind the pads for any trace evidence of Leaking. nothing was found.

    mikey-simmo

    ok conflicting advice. I usually work the pistons during the service with a little fluid over the seals holding one back and making the lazy piston move until they both shift, rarely does this result in two perfectly meeting, then a full clean and degrease then refit the pads using the lever clamp method.

    Bugger! Done that to death with cleaning agents and cloths which is why I went with brand new pads and discs. Still It hasn’t moved yet so It could be removed, but I’m really in need of advice regarding the ‘alignment’ advice. Where and to what to you Align the caliper with? The disc, the frame how?

    I can’t think these people are worth engaging with since their view is not up for being changed and their viewpoint is clearly set in stone.
    from memory, and someone will correct me I’m sure, but wasn’t some funding they were applying for dependent on the park being open access for everyone, not just those with a dobbin and a range rover? It is a shame that the trail building has come to a (enforced) halt since it would have benefited the area. With their viewpoint and facts being clearly not up for debate, I would save yourself the hassle and just walk away. Keep riding through the area and batter them with polite kindness.

    I have lightly coated the back of the Pads in Copper grease, just one set so far to see if it works. Organic Pads from Shimano – New Discs also from Shimano –
    Noise riders own.

    He’s using masks around the images to soften the edge (not too well) yes premier elements can do this also which is cheaper.

    I can’t find any details about this anywhere. Where does it start?

    Bolts tightened to torq. Clean surfaces faced mounts too. Alignment is done either visually or by clamping the disc with the pads then tightening the bolts down. How would you go about aligning the cal opera to the disc?
