This no longer made fizzy drink

Store it upside down in a bike bag?

We did from Newcastle to Les Arcs last year via Tunnel. Healthy delay on the UK side due to to troubles at the time. Planned to stop overnight at Reims, ended up stopping a lot sooner.
The return trip was trouble free in comparison. Worst bit was getting off the train with 300+ miles still to go.

This year we are getting ferry from North Shields. Its a bit dearer, but a lot less driving.

Tolls for us last year were over £100, but thats a big van.

Wouldnt fancy doing it in 1 go at all, though plenty do.

I used a garmin 500 on a trip back from france. It worked fine until we took off.

trace then ended up a direct straight line until we started to descend.

1200 mile route, average 209 mph. max 2808 (obviously I was on blackbird)

Lots of stuff around the les arcs area.

Sainte-foy, tignes, and across to la thuile, all relatively easy to get to, and some fantastic trails. Been 3 years running to that area, going back again this year.

We always go guided though. Local knowledge is a fantastic asset.

In a word, yes.
Although he may be better off with a hardtail given the expected use.

I have one, upgraded to the carbon wheels. Havent noticed any more mtce requirements, but they are noticably stiffer. As for suspension bearings, they are ifetime warranty from whyte. I hear you just take it to the dealer and they replace them. I ve not had to do that on mine, the bearings are well protected from crud. As long as youre sensible washing it, shouldnt be an issue.

I dont know about resale, dont think they were that popular, but I have no hankering to get rid of mine.

1 note. there are 2 versions of rear triangle. The later one has a fillet of weld running up from the brake mount post. There were some issues with earlier versions cracking there.

Mine did, just 2 weeks ago.

Lucky Strike RGV 250 – I was Kevin Schwantz.

CCM R30 – utter, utter hooligan tool. I fell in love with supermotos after I got an Aprilia Pegaso and slapped a set of talon rims on it. I had a ZXR750 after that, was an awesome bit of kit but too boring unless you were doing ludicrouas speeds. So I got the CCM. Never needed a front tyre.

Frances-Barnett falcon 74. The only one I still have. 3 speed single cylinder 197 cc Villiers 2 stroke. Gears on the wrong side and 1 up 2 down. 40 flat out. Its nearly 60 years old.

I had the MG flavoured diesel estate 5-6 years ago.

Lovely to drive, reasonable on fuel.

Had issues with a boost pipe failing – couple of rubber rings sorted it though it was a bumper off job, and an issue with part of the engine electrics. Not the ECU, but it was solved with a ‘roverron’ tuning box.

I paid just under 5K for that one, low mileage, history, etc.

That one is way too much money.

A car derived van is just that. A car thats been made into a van. So the T5, vito etc does not fall into this category. They can be classed as Dual Purpose Vehicles though, with an additonal row of seats and side windows.

Government guidelines on this.

Lugz

Pivot Mach 6. First rode 2 years ago, took me till back end of last year to save up and get one.

Love it.

Of course you should buy a new bike 🙂

Xing men.

The green cross code with mutant lollipop ladies.

Although nothing can really prepare you for the streams that appear from all the orifices, the worst experience I had was when minilugz hurt his arm when he was around 18 months old.
Hurt enough so that he just held it and wouldnt move it.

the barrage of questions at the hospital made me feel quite frankly terrible!

The other one – If it fits in the mouth its food. Checking poo for swallowed stuff is pretty grim.

Agreed, live in Sunderland, but prefer Durham. Head of Steam is great for Belgian Beer madness.

Times many. And great Pizzas too.

Ive gone from doing kits to BIAB, didn’t buy that particular kit, but I have very similar.

Big kettle, nylon bag, home made chiller.

Bought a recipe pack from brew UK and took a day out. It was very cathartic and the beer turned out very good. Way better than imagined it would and loads better than the kit stuff.

🙂

Was it This one?

Where it says

This is an Ex-Demo bike, spec may differ slightly from that listed and the bicycle may show signs of use. There is no warranty on the components, however the frame is still covered by the Manufacturer’s Guarantee.

Just asking.

Hope have the answer to press fit problems. You screw the two halves together.

Unless its a commencal meta.

Early docks used the firewire power for charging at 12v.

Later ones used the USB 5v supply.

you can get a convertor.

I have one, trying to remember where I got it from 🙂

edit

one of these

I have the shwalbe snow studs on my communter, and a set of ice spikers for the HT.

I find that the commuter ‘squirms’ quite a bit on tarmac with the snow studs on, even at 65 psi. On wet, packed leaves they are good, and good on proper ice. I put them on at the beginning of december, and they will stay on probably till march.

The ice spikers on th HT are about 2 gears harder, If you get my meaning. 🙂 but awesome.

Ex trafic 115 crew cab owner.
Had it 6 years, replaced strut bearings once, other than that it never missed a beat. Pretty low use though, I do under 10K PA.

I’d have another.

In the light mornings I often see a few Deer on my ride in.

Sometimes it seems the best bit is getting home in one piece.

Laid up in hospital with some broken bones. Hadnt had a number 2 in a while. Dr said he would help me get to the loo after I explained I couldnt go in a pan. The number 2 drugs kicked in. I had to go.
The Dr was on lunch.

Nurse brought me a pan.

It was huge, I was mortified and the stench was quite horriffic.

After she cleaned me up and took it away, she ‘casually’ wandered round the ward with a can of Glade.

Backer for me. Today is the first time ive seen it called a croggy 🙂
Every day a school day

BC are currently dealing with my incident.

Seem pretty thorough, and no hidden traps that some of the no win no fee companies can have.

Shimano 11sp cassettes around half the cost of Sram.

The difference will pay for itself in around 7 drivetrain replacements 😆

My insurance has been around the £300 mark for what seems like forever. Brand new Peugoet Boxer this year, Renault traffic on a 57 plate for 6 years previous. Non commercial, 12K pa.

Clean license, max no claims Newcastle area.

Logged in this morning and it’s there.

🙂

Least its not just me :/

Probably due to the december special finishing and there being no-one work to sort out the BC website…

Riding with minilugz always makes me smile
2 from the alps

And one from the final straight of the Tour of Britain. Before the fast lads 😉
There was loads of people all cheering and clapping. It was mint.

The one I was looking at is free postage.

Was it shown as a TV series?

I remember watching it with my Dad many years ago..

what are the barrels doing?

Nope

still cannot get the
Sword
Crow?
Is the small clock in the window a clue?

Sword – 2 words.

Crow – Correct

Clock in window – yes.

That clock.

Its not nearly dinnertime.

Wolf is not separate, but the street may be.

Pink flowers – not a clue.

Something from the USA is ….. ?
Writing on the wall is ……?
