    Did I read that you cannot tighten spoke without removing the tires, sealant, strips etc?

    They are pretty though eh?

    Is that a 1×10 set up, smart move and probably saved some cash too? What front ring did you go for and did you do the dinner plate back cog?

    Travel blackout blind on suckers by mothercare or kiddiecare. Attached straight to the window, has a good perimeter overlap and can be used anywhere. Really good bit of kit. My son has no idea that’s it’s still sunny when he goes to bed.

    Yep. The “future” that is revit is a clunky expensive racket for software companies and those geeky enough to become “bim managers” if there was some competition in the market it would disappear pretty quickly I reckon.

    Comparison with the bronson? Also what is the weight that must be around 28lbs or so?

    Nice btw. I have seen one in the wild and the colours are a little less garish

    27! Lucky, 27 to 35 is the best age to be. I wish I had appreciated it at the time. At least hangovers and injuries only last a short time..

    Review on bike radar says it is better in every regard than the mark 1 and 2 models. Price is stupid though, you could build one from frame only cheaper than buying the full bike. What’s that about? I suppose it is one of those reassuringly expensive products.

    hows the sizing? is it what they say it is (if that makes sense but some manufacturers dont)

    Difficult, not many good hooligan type bikes around anymore. It’s all gone a bit ‘enduro’. I would respray the bottle rocket or get a bolt/ NS.

    Just bleach the old stuff (if it and everything around is or will be white) brings it back to looking like new

    How noisy are they, suitable for a flat? Are there any other cheap quiet options?

    +1 dyson anything. Over designed and a bit silly

    Crank brothers, less time should be spent on the packaging and ‘design’

    That oversized mini, Vauxhall adam, Nissan juke all make me snigger when I see them

    Revit, if you use it you will know

    Speak to the architect specifically about the issue and put it in writing. If the glazing system specified is not suitable for the pitch then the architect is most likely liable (as the bowing if the glass will inevitably lead to failure of the gaskets). They have pi insurance for the inevitable cock ups. That said you can do 1.5 degrees in glass, it depends on the system. Check what the architect specified for this as it could be correct and the pooling is an aesthetic issue. In which case it’s tricky as although you maybe weren’t made aware it is technically no issue.

    Computer games. A serious waste of your life and barely a significant achievement. Still got the moves on tomb raider though.

    You can also have a bit of a beach holiday. South Bay is nice and quiet for lounging / swimming. Best time of year to visit it should be hot and clear , unless the smog comes in from china

    Going 650b?

    If they did the sensibly specified base model like the 224 they might have sold a few more. I guess nukeproof is to blame for undercutting that market?

    Someone did it on the mtbr forums. Can’t remember the conclusions but 26 was found to be lighter and nimbler at the expense of some rollover ability.

    Tbh honest I find my mk1 better than my NomadC. Climbing aside the mk1 is way plusher on the downs, something a lot of mk2 and nomad c owners try and recreate with the push link. Just make sure you dont get one with a dhx air as they blow through the travel. As for climbing, well it’s climbing so never much fun really.

    All said I would go for a mark 2 as the bearing replacement every 6-12 months on the mark1 is really annoying (if you run it through the winter)

    And the elephant in the room, what’s the frame weight with air shock.

    Cleggs terrible this year. Even in the south. I was chased by them doing the push up route at ae and got a few bites on my back that swelled pretty badly. Got me to go faster though

    That’s why they have introduced 650 b. to introduce obsolesence into your spares pile of tyres, tubes, spokes, frames etc

    Too hot at ae today. Saw one of those 8 k enve bronsons being ragged down the shredder. Maybe it was a mirage

    its out of shape and you are running 9 speed on a 10 speed system. still works so no point replacing it until it meets its usual rocky end

    Worthless. Not 650b see. I will give you 10 pounds for scrap value?

    I wonder if you notice the stretch in the front centre? Not quite Klein mantra but looks disconcerting to my uneducated eye.

    Not to annoy you any more but Isn’t coving a corner utterly pointless. It was only there in the past when there was a rubbish wall/ ceiling junction to cover

    Bit like a bobble hat on a hot day. Which is oddly fashionable

    Spend the money on the best coffee you can buy rather than fancy machines

    I did the costa offer, the coffee is terrible (not at all like the shop stuff). Luckily I sold the machine and made a sneaky profit.

    Had a look at the new five today at fort bill and could barely notice the difference until it was pointed out part by part.

    The 332 was missing from their stand so I assume that’s going 27.5

    The sc carbon nomad was missing as well so I assume that’s getting all fashionable too
