    After a little bit of reading… The GoPro Hero 4 Silver video quality is miles better than the tiny new one and you cannot replace the battery. The good news is that it does have a 2 hour battery life and there is no standby mode. This means the 2 hours battery life is actual recording time, the bad news is it takes 4 seconds to turn on and start recording.

    I don’t know how many of you have actually read it, but it does say it works with innertubes and with tubeless, but you will require different patch pods for different tyres.

    Rockshox 2 Step = Completely shit, always goes wrong
    Fox 36 TALAS 2015 = It works and it feels a lot better than Rockshox.

    Fox 2016 or Fox 36 2015+ are the dogs danglies. :wink:

    I have one of those DLC chains which was £50 and the coating is very tough! Usually after a year the TiN coating starts coming off, due to poor cleaning and rubbish gear indexing with the DLC it isn’t coming off…yet. Mines black n red, so half Enduro. :wink:

    7/10 for whoever wrote that article, some of those products are just there to fill space. Suspension seatposts should be in there and fingerless gloves shouldn’t nor bar ends, they were effective.

    We have 2x Cat 6 network sockets/cables in each room. In the living room we actually could do with 6x cables now, 8O but use a switch as generally only 1 thing is using the network at a time in the Living room. (TV, Amp, RetroPie, PS4, PiCorePlayer)

    We also installed aerial points in each room which are hooked up to a TV distribution box . We can also watch whatever is on the main TV in all the rooms with this thing. This thing also handles satellite and CCTV signals.

    TV and Network Hubs are all located in a central point in the house, so the cable runs aren’t massive.

    So you are going to need 100m if not more of Cat6 cable, a 100m roll of CT100 aerial cable and a 1Gb network switch with enough ports for all the cables. You’ll need tools to terminate the ends, install the network plugs. Use STP cables if you are going near noisy equipment, eg: transformers, fluorescent lighting and try to run at right angles to these power cables or any other electric cables.

    Then all you need is a decent NAS like the HP MicroServer to run a DLNA server, LMS, etc and anything else you would want.

    Personally I do not trust WiFi, easily hacked, not very reliable, especially if there is a lot of WiFi closeby. Everything is a lot quicker on cables, and if you’ve got 4x TV’s watching HD video on WiFi, with another 4x on FacePoo you will experience a slowdown/spinning circle thingy. WiFi is great for mobile devices, but leave it at just that.

    SP41 outers it is then! Found it for £1.49 per metre! Just need to decide on the inner cable.. Cheapo Stainless or Teflon coated!?

    As someone else above

    Rub Tyres
    Press their brake as you go past
    Drop their reverb
    Trackstand in middle of trail until the person behind puts a foot down. If you can also fart at this time, all the better. :wink:

    Twang… Exmoor? I’ll try to be more specific it is Exmoor, as I have forgotten the name of the lane/Bridleway.

    I gave the Sorbothane and Granite chopping board a go with my Subwoofer and was quite surprised at the difference it made on a carpeted wooden floor. A couple of friends also commented that it sounded more punchier even though I had not mentioned the changes.

    Sub
    Sorbothane
    Granite
    Carpet
    Wooden Floor

    I also tried

    Sub
    Sorbothane
    Granite
    Sorbothane
    Carpet
    Wooden Floor

    This was way too wobbly! 8O

    I also use the Sorbothane under my PS4 which cuts the noise down quite a bit!

    I don’t tow anything, it was 90k the clutch went, I have had the car for 60k, the 30k before it was used as a work vehicle and didn’t have an easy life. Flywheel wasn’t screwed, just needed skimming, which happens if you drive a car with a **** clutch. :wink:

    I’m sure being 4 up, with 3 bikes on the roof and car fully loaded many times didn’t help. :wink:

    I have one of these, if you are talking about the Astra G 1.6 8v, it does short journeys all the time. In 6 years its done 60,000 miles. The only thing that has gone wrong with it is the headgasket went and it was fine being driven for about 10 months after I had noticed (I’m not easy on it) and needed a new clutch and flywheel skimming. Oh I’ve also replaced the front discs, pads, rear shoes, timing belt, tyres and usual service stuff.

    It does about 25-35mpg on a run and can get 3 bikes and people inside. It also runs with no oil quite well, but you’ll get about 15mpg. :lol: I treat it like a piece of shit and do not care for it at all, just fill it up and go and replace parts when they need to. It has been an extremely reliable car, despite the abuse I give it.

    Wasn’t it Burning Calves? They also made me wan’t to ride, I remember seeing Martyn Ashton riding down the Portway rock, so we went and did it that week. Really opened my eyes to what you can do on a bike and how much fun it can be!

    Found some of the classic videos on YouTube, but very poor quality

    I think… You would have to find your doppelgänger to sell it to. I think they put your photo on the season pass.

    +1 What he said ^

    I had a similar thing with me being thrown over the bars on technical rocky bits. The forks were too soft, once I pumped them up they were fine, ultimately they were ****, but that’s 2 Step Lyriks for you. :wink:

    They recirculate, I use one for cleaning engine parts and with the right fluid it works wonders!

    Personally I think its overkill for bike parts, but I do occasionally use it for bike parts as it’s a lot quicker with the right fluid.

    95-98
    Raleigh M-Trax 3000
    GT Zaskar LE, with loads of purple anodised stuff 8)
    GT LTS (similar to photo)

    GT STS-1

    Then I learned to drive and didn’t touch a bike until 6-7 years ago.

    Kona Kula Deluxe (2008)
    Scott Genius LT (2012)

    I don’t know how some of you remember all those bikes! 8O

    I’m pretty impressed with the Lezyne HV Micro Floor pump, its actually quicker than my £10 big floor pump, looks pretty nice too.

    I prefer my own shitty POV videos, makes me wanna ride!

    Still giggle at “The Craig Burton Show”

    Yup, I’m at work at the moment so can’t link up youtube but my favourite amateur cycling video of all time is the two lads off their faces gurning like cows cycling whilst wearing nylon, next to a great big pylon.

    Want to see this video!

    Garmins and phones usually poll at the rate of 1hz, which is ok for riding/mountain biking. A dedicated standalone GPS unit can refresh at 10-20Hz, depending on the type, giving a more accurate reading.

    Bookmarked! Looking to do this in the next couple of years.

    My Dad did this, but not Salt Lake City > LV. He said they didn’t struggle for anywhere to stay, they stayed at RV sites, anything under 40ft is considered small and can make room. Wishes they had gone “wild camping” a few days, that means not staying at an RV site.

    One thing to note is if you fly in, they will not let you take the RV for another 24 hours as you will be sleep deprived/jet lagged/tired. It will take most of the morning for them to show you how to use the RV, water tanks, etc, so bear that in mind when you are booking your first stop.

    I stayed in Hamilton and a customer took me out to a seedy strip club.. It was the best strip club ever! 8O I can’t remember much about Hamilton except for tits and fanny, but they were a really friendly bunch in Hamilton.

    If you went that direction you hit Niargra falls, worth stopping to check it out, but it is a longer way round.

    If you have a belly and moobs you won’t get the chest mount shake free. The tighter the better, but it doesn’t look as bad as some I have seen, could do with pointing the cam up slightly, but not much.

    Have you tried Premiere Elements Video Stabilizer?

    44mph many moons ago on a Zaskar LE and yes it had purple anodised stuff. 8) Did that quite often, with canti brakes and no helmet, no chance I would even attempt it now, especially on “that” hill. 8O

    As for off-road, no idea, but I was pretty happy to hit just under 30mph on Veni Vedi Veci on my Hardtail (2:17).

    I remember the original Crud Cog Hog from the 90’s, it definitely improved the shifting.

    I still have one in my drawer for a retro bike aka bring back the 90’s & anodised purple.
