Shame. It had become a bit of a pamphlet recently. Also a bit torn between standard and e-bikes which meant quite a bit was of little interest if your not into e-bikes

Good luck with online the website is filled with click bait rubbish

Something in the glass is what I was told. Some products just don’t go in dishwashers

Santa Cruz quietly dropped iago and mark Scott. Think mark is still on them via a shop sponsor?

What’s happened? Is it cancelled?

Same. They always used to do slight increases so I kept with them. Now they have done a massive hike so shopped around and got cheaper. Assume they are looking to reduce their numbers

worst is  the AA. They offered to renew with a 60% increase. Went through the usual rigmarole of saying I’m leaving and got a quote for the same as last year

everyone is just trying to get away with as much as possible these days

<p>Stopped watching really for cost reasons. Will try and catch up but the new race format quailes/semi final/ final is daft. Qualification then a final with more riders please. Effectively doing 2 finals must be a nightmare for the riders. it also cuts the wildcard factor out of the finals</p>

Staggering really given most of the competition was removed with brexit. I pretty much moved from European suppliers to merlin for cost/ availability.

Wiggle has a tkmax vibe these days with some big name components at silly pricing, so randomly useful.

<p>Cove wouldn’t get away with that now…some such az the Hummer needed a wide ranging knowledge others such as the hj not really subtle enough!</p>

When you start breaking things. Some people can get away with much lighter wheel sets

Not really a fair trial as those who volunteer are probably the ones who don’t get bitten in a group or whose skin barely reacts. 8hrs? 10mins is torture

<p>No fort William in 2024?</p><p>to those who haven’t been the footage makes it look a lot flatter. Loads of sections you could barely walk…</p>

Just experimenting with mullet after full 29. Love that it gets up to speed on tstop / start type riding.  At full pelt straight line or continued effort it’s worse but for all round I think I’m sold

Possibly quiet because it’s gubbed? They have closed the buzzards nest and the links / fun stuff around it and pedalling from the bottom is not much fun for many. Let’s hope it’s all sorted at the end of summer

+1 on nukeproof. It had a hard but very short life (trying to locate a nasty squeak that surely couldn’t be the ‘new’ bottom bracket’) I now buy sram and lower expectations. Also a breaker bar for the faff of taking the crankset off.

Had the same, replaced pads happened again replaced caliper happened again then realised I had changed my bike cleaning liquid before the first fail. Not naming the popular product but changed and the problem disappeared. Assume I wasn’t rinsing enough or was over applying either way never had an issue since

Jumping the shark at its finest

Looks like putin just needs to keep going till the US elections. 300 000 mobilized at 1000 a day. That should work. Grim.

I see Santa Cruz offering 20% off a lot of current models. Seems squeezing money supply does reduce the price of goods (till the overstock has gone)

What do we think chinas peace deal will be on the 24th? Let Russia annex all of the states it liberated or they supply weapons? That would stop the war? Russia would get most of what it wants and the ‘west’ accept the compromise rather than risk years of pain. High stakes by China?

Doors should be recessed. If they are not you are fully reliant on the cavity tray as they are out in/on the wet outer leaf. This can work but depends on good workmanship.

The issue here is that flush glazing/ brick means water pours down the outside, across the face of the glass.

Have known of a few cases of water run off from brick / render salts etching the glass if left on (particularly depending on glass surface coatings)

Needs a small aluminium drip flashing above to displace the water away from the glazing. Any leak into the door head after would mean an issue with cavity tray.

It will break you. But it does get better- but it’s a new normal. No one ever tells you how horrifically hard it can be. Or that one child differs completely from another. Or that most guidance you read is total BS in retrospect.

Our saviour was drive thru coffee places. Child would fall asleep rocked by the motion of the car, you could get peace/caffienated for a hour or so before the next round of chaos.

They now have boost. Same price no voucher code. Bargain!

Great but not boost if that matters

When does it start becoming an issue owning a tesla and feeling like you have chosen to support this guy? We had someone at work who just bought one explaining their choice in detail a bit too much.

Exact same issue made worse after adding insulation. It’s the lack of venting/ cold profile that causes the condensation. Should have a vapour barrier on the warm side of the insulation. Main cause of vapour was the ensuite and light holes. So I painted the ensuite ceiling with 2 layers of gloss then one of matt. Then boxed in the light fittings above (led so no heat) so anll sealed and the problems gone. Moisture stays in the room / re evaporates and goes out the window rather than into the loft.

Is drumlanrig still dead? Is any open?

Work in progress here. All research suggests it will work. Just need the time to fit it.

So you need a Carnet to take your bike without getting an import charge? And that costs £300?

A possible third way out is China. If China withdraw support/non action over Russia putin may realise they have no way forward without compromise.

We could boycott Chinese products (probably impossible) A possible unintended consequence of messing with utility prices is that we can no longer afford to buy as many products from China. Losing custom could sway it for Chinas attitude more than playing politics.

Is the warranty not 1 year? (developing odd noises on a barely used 15month old x2 and worrying)

Thanks all. If only there were more well stocked shops in the uk.

More annoying is upgrading to some fox forks without realising your cheap sram hubs can’t swap away from torque caps. The fork upgrade that then needed a hub upgrade. Thanks sram..

2% told to suck it up or move.

To replace me via an agency (which is standard) would cost 3-4 times more

Just me or does it feel like Russia are going to grind out a victory across Ukraine in the long term?

If you look at hospitalisation rates on travelling tabby it looks like a wave is coming. Particularly Scotland. New variant combined with complete relaxation of restrictions/ inhibitions?

Suspect they may start to struggle. The base spec is truly terrible (disposable hubs at over £5k). How many halo product AXS reserve builds do they actually sell at RRP to support themselves and stif?

Do these things not track what anyone using your IP address is looking at. So you might not have been looking at things but others in your household have?

Removing the heart around buzzards nest is a huge mistake. Plenty of room around. Commercialising / privatising even worse. It also means any trip has to start with that tedious slog up the hill.

The current facilities are nice buildings in the wrong place (cafe facing the side of hill? Well done) can’t see adding to it is going to create anything more than empty units.

Coolmints?

Tube or tin?

£5500 for an nx build?
