    Hey zippy, yes front slips sideways in mud, traction is good on the rear, in the dry they are sticky as hell tho you can really crank the bike over.

    Got the frame for £85 with a code off here!
    Great fun but crap in mud. Runs specialized 4.8s with no clearance issues.

    Just passed mine a month ago. Had a few cancellations over the 18 months it took me, but you could use the time to take the written exams instead of flying.
    The AFE books are by far the best to buy ,don’t bother with the pooleys ones.
    Have to say it was one of the most rewarding things I’ve ever done and just being able to rent a plane and fly away is awesome.
    Best of luck.

    4 rides in on mine and oh boy is it faster than it looks! previous bike for 2 years was a carbon singlespeed which feels loads faster,but according to GPS isnt?! Fatbike is loads more fun and looks ace.
    As stated Tyres are a con!

    Just finished building an on one fatty trail. Got the frame for a bargain £84!!!!
    .weighs in at 29lb.goes up big hills like a mountain train!! Out of the saddle no tyre slippage at all, so you can just mash it up the incline.
    Gyro effect of the big tyres at speed takes some getting used to tho.
    Love it!!!!

    I drove hgvs for 20 yrs and have been a cyclist for 10 or so including commuting so I’d like to think I can see both perspectives.Its very easy to get angry when it seems 20 or so tonnes of metal is trying to kill you. But….WTF is this guy thinking trying to overtake a moving HGV? If I were driving the truck and a vehicle tried to overtake completing the manoeuvre is down to him, me altering my speed\direction could cause an accident. What makes this cyclist think he is master and commander? His response to the driver getting out of his cab is way OTT.Nutter!

    Sorry to say i’ve all but given up on f1. If next seasons first race is as dull as this that’s it for me. Shame as I’ve been a fan for 30 yrs but moto gp has more excitement in one lap than this seasons f1 has had all year.:(

    Gave up on gears after wrecking an xtr mech on my old five at Cannock replacement was mega bucks,went singlespeed, then rigid. Faffless riding now, No fox station wear, cassetes needing replacing,gears needing indexing etc .

    Current ride is an on one lurcher carbon SS.Can’t recommend it enough, run big 2.4 Chunky monkey tires at 18-20 psi so no need for suspension forks. the uphill traction is phenomenal!

    Disconnect battery. Touch pos and neg wires together. On my trucks this totally wipes the error memory. Can’t do any harm.:)

    Get one. Went from orange5 to rigid single speed lurcher and never regret it. Run mine with low pressure tubeless chunky munky tyres and wonder why I ever needed energy sapping suspension:)

    If the terrain allows it, ride as many hills as possible and do the downhill bits in techy Woodland.the doggy will manage these a lot easier than you.obviously belting along fire roads is a no no. Take plenty of treats on the initial rides(and let him know you’ve got them!) to get the dog to come to you when call. Enjoy!

    The skip company has a rate for a specific size of skip. If you make the skip whatever size suits using doors etc to increase the capacity of the skip then the charging system is useless and profitless, hence the skip company refusing to lift the skip. ‘Fill level’ isn’t the guy that painted it!!!

    Around here the average skip price is £160, landfill gas and tipping charges are around £100. In order to avoid landfill charges waste segregation and recycling are necessary this is quite labour intensive and costly so no matter how you look at it margins are tight, hence the ‘we won’t lift an overloaded skip’ stance.

    Its usually the hirers responsibility to ensure that the skip is correctly loaded and it wouldn’t be good practice for a waste company to allow one its vehicles to carry an overloaded container on the highway as VOSA and/or the police would charge the driver for carrying an insecure load at the very least.

    I ended up measuring the bb shell and guess what? its 89.5mm even tho it doesn’t say that anywhere on the on-one website ,just that its a bb90! So the spacer is definitely needed.

    Fit the spacer and get the hope bb92 and grease everything. Mine creaked like hell until I did this,not a squeak since.

    For what its worth my first dealings with planet x were positive. Lurcher frame was supplied quickly ,however with 2 disc side horizontal dropouts and no mounting bolts. Quick phone call and next day a set of bolts and new dropout FOC. happy!
