    I watched a fitness guy on you tube who I think said shin splints were because the muscles that lift the foot are weak and out of shape so can easily be injured. I’m not sure if this is right or not but it made sense to me at the time.
    I have been doing exercises to strengthen mine for a few years now and it seems to work, although I have never really suffered with shin splints.

    Dibnah was smart though, he used to have two pints of beer to steady his nerves before the first climb of the day.

    So disappointed by this thread title. Where is the fat bike with a sixty degree head angle and five foot wheelbase?!!

    lol 😀

    Got a Specialized Fatboy SE second hand with the brakes upgraded to cheap shimano hydros.
    The std spec is pretty good with 90mm rims 4.6 tyres and 750mm bars. Some of the other bits are a on the cheap side like the hubs(QR!) and gears and you would need to upgrade the front hub to run a bluto!
    It’s not quite as comfy as I was expecting but it does float over a lot of the smaller bumps.
    I think due to the head angle and massive tyre the steering has some interesting behavior, wandering about on slower stuff then really has to be manhandled on some faster corners. Other than that it’s great, fast with huge grip and comfy ride.

    Was hiking up there last week and also think there would be a lot of hike a bike which is a shame as it’s a beautiful area.
    I would of liked to have ridden the descent from the saddle into glen rosa but not sure how much carrying would be involved to get there.

    Plenty of time to make a noticeable difference IMO
    Around 5 hill reps sitting and 3 standing pushing hard(Sounds like you are pretty fit so this should be ok).
    Heard that doing intervals like this does actually give you some long distance fitness.
    You could pedal with the brakes on if you don’t have hills. 😀

    Looks like the Intel CPU only supports memory up to DDR4-2400, It could be ok with the faster memory but I’m not sure.

    I recently bought a i3 6100 and some Corsair 8GB DDR4 Vengeance LPX 2133MHz (2x4gb) to go with it.

    I looked at M2 SSD boards and you can get up to something crazy like 23gbs data transfer but I find a normal SSD plenty fast enough.

    “mindset of carrying a weapon” is rather a big deal. All the more so for us brits. A guy I know could not cope with having to carry a gun working in South Africa.

    Just for fun I made up a basket at CCL, I managed to include a Nvidia970, a 144hz monitor and an i5, also a decent mouse and mat.
    I am missing a keyboard and maybe a second case fan and If I was buying my self I would be reading reviews on the mother board, RAM and SSD, I don’t know if they are good enough or 100% compatible.
    Just positing this as a rough guide and may have forgotten something,

    I wanted a rod I could fit in my larger camelbak and use for shore lure fishing and found this,

    I use 10-12lb mono line with 30-40g lures and a cheap shimano reel and it’s great.

    I also have a heavier duty bass rod but find lure fishing with a lighter rod and reel much easier and less tiring.

    Try to let it heal up asap!, avoid putting any weight on it until the pain noticeably lessens.
    Professional athletes with injury this get crutches and a massive padded boot at first.
    It’s one of the worst injuries to try and shift if it persists.
    I found not letting my heel hit the ground at first followed by using a doughnut shaped insert helped it to eventually clear up, it took a few months!

    I once had spam via gumtree that turned out to be phishing, when I opened the email it took me to a fake gumtree log in page that looked legit but was hosted on a dodgy URL.

    Worst bit I thought was when the bearded guy was discussing the gut and poisoning and he said that he thought he would of “recovered after six days” the doc replied with “no, one to two months to recover” 😯
    So if you binge every weekend or even fortnight you are in a constant downward spiral :mrgreen:
