I think Sagan prefers not to have a lead out.

As you have found out, there is too much choice at this level.

I’m not sure there are many 650B options in your price range yet. Sounds like a 29er would suit you best.

Have you made a short list, either on paper or digital, for both what you would like and specific bikes that match those criteria. You need to make those choices first and having too many options in the brain will cloud your vision.

Discount any bikes that are not suitable, wrong type, or wrong size, like the Kinesis.

Bear in mind that most second hand bikes will require some work.

What are the Police supposed to do in this case then?

Its a RTC with no malice but there is fault.

It’s driving without due care at the least, IMO, drivers need to take responsibility for their choice of vehicle, not get distracted and act accordingly.

You seem clueless and shall be ignored. :D

The concept is for a local run around, not extended trips or holding on to the vehicle when your not driving it.

Once your milage allowance runs out (40 miles IRC) the charges start to ramp up pretty quickly. The excess included on the standard insurance is also high, so extra charge (£100 PA) to cover that too.

Also you have to check that a prevoius driver has not damaged the vehicle without reporting it, which you could then be held liable for. Some people don’t clean up after themselves, don’t bring the vehicle back on time or leave only fumes in the tank

The charges have steadily increased and the branding has become much more obvious and garish since being bought out.

A great idea, it’s just flawed by the introduction of customers and people having different standards of what is acceptable.

Slow news day in Portsmouth then, hope something happens today.

Look for the weakest point and start there.

It’s much easier to secure the large door from inside an reinforce it if it is flimsy. It starts to get hard to achieve if the building is not that strong anyway and you need to get you car in and out regularly.

Is it already set up as tubeless, or supplied tubeless ready?

OP it’s hard to make any useful suggestions without any details, sorry.

Is it accessed through your house or separate?

Venturi 2 for me as well for a winter jacket, more vents than the MT500, choice if you want a hood or not, but less “stealthy” if your into the ninja thing.

Take the tyre off and have a good look inside and out, then make a decision.

He sounds like a complete tosser.

As many have said, you need to have any long term issues covered, not just a quick fix.

Best wishes, Neil.

You’re not supposed to eat the nuts that don’t open.

A pot of paste and a small brush, you can apply it to the top of the blade and it will flow into the cut.

More lube next time.

Planning just need to know what it will look like, including finishes and how big it will be.

Just take some reasonably accurate measurements, sit down with a calculator and figure out if it can be PD.

Had a quick look but not watched the video, I’m sure it covers it all.

Clean the fork first, you don’t want to get crap from outside on the inside.

All the fancy bits are fitted inside the CSU legs. Basically there is some oil just sitting in the lowers to keep all the sliding lubed. The lower leg service is to clean any crap out of the seals, and foam rings if fitted, and change the oil.

Take your time, don’t get frustrated and gain a better understanding of how your forks work.

It’s fine to submit hand drawn plans if they are needed. Might be best to take a little more time and care than on the first edition.

Obviously you need your neighbours permission to use their wall.

You need alcohol for the cleaning, lint free cloths or industrial type blue paper roll, kitchen paper will work if you don’t have anything else.

You can’t save the lower leg lube, one of the main reasons for the service is to change this oil as it is contaminated.

You don’t need to change seals, unless they are worn or damaged, which you inspect when you have them apart.

If it’s just the lower leg service they are all pretty much the same, if it’s the full service you should be able to follow the Recon Gold manual, I think.

Don’t rush, put some plastic sheeting down on the floor.

When reassembling, take care when refitting the stanchions into the lowers to make sure you don’t damage the seals.

That one (Youtube above) would have been hard to avoid, but the impact could have been reduced.

As the rider, having just passed a crossing and both vehicles are in sight, I would have been centre of the lane personally.

it does amuse me a little, that we’ll gladly hand over cash for ‘low friction’ fork stanchions, when damping is one of the key characteristics of suspension forks.

Do you think the damper would perform better with more “friction”?

Get a fish tank full of acid and a car battery, connect your CSU to the negative terminal, some old gold jewellery to the positive terminal, drop both in the tank for a few days, job done.

Dirty and/or loose part(s).

Pursue driving without due care at the least.
Be polite and factual to the driver when you talk to them, unfortunately it’s not your job to prosecute them or tell them what an idiot they are.
Don’t settle for less that what is appropriate.

I hope Mrs Mogs recovers quickly.

Roof structure terminology does not change with different materials. Best to talk to a structural engineer if you have any doubts.

As above, find the studs or battens ideally. They should be spaced at either 400mm or 600mm, so once you have found one you know where to look for the next.

If you need to fix into plasterboard, use Spit Driva or similar with a metal body, not plastic. They all state self drilling but work best with a pilot hole, don’t over tighten.

I use both techniques.

Well all of that stuff about there not being villages and packing handguns to travel is nonsense in most of Israel.

The last figures I saw were 92% of jewish Israelis lived in towns or cities, with the majority of the rest living on collective farms. I’m happy to be proved wrong.

Konabunny – I was not including the hardline wingnuts, just trying to point out that a normal way of life, as we know it, does not happen there.

100/0, as in couldn’t give a toss.

Although i do have Aspergers or ASD as it’s now known and, generally, I’m asocial.

I’m sure you can see the context if you want to.

No apologies from me and I feel the current situation is dire and desperate.

I still do feel that it is hard to put yourself in the position of the Israelis.

Imagine if you can, living in a small country bordered by hostile states. Normal parts of everyday life include the constant fear of attack, bomb shelters are everywhere, as is serving in the armed forces and knowing people who have lost their lives during their conscription or reserve service. Uniformed teenage boys and girls sit in bars and cafes and on buses with their automatic weapons.

The concept of a village does not exist, small communities are built in defendable positions, are surrounded by fencing and there is a rota for guard duty. If travelling between towns you would take your hand gun without question.

With the legacy of the “final solution” still just within living memory, the Israelis chose to show no more weakness, to them this means replying to a pin prick with a punch in the face. The situations in the surrounding countries are relevant because they feel threatened, these actions are as much a message to those around them than to those who are being targeted.

Jewish Kindergartens and schools have often been targeted in the past and when, unfair, concessions were made on land this just furthered the desire to overthrow the state.

It’s hard to imagine how living like this may affect your judgement.

I wish there could be a peaceful solution to the situation, the only effective leverage would be to withdraw arms supplies and sales. As we know the US and UK governments both like the money too much and are not that adverse to collateral civilian damage either.

But if that is a spacer you could swap for something less thick.

What’s the thin plastic ring?
Are there a set of spacers attached, how thick are they, will you get a better set up if removed?
Your front mech should need adjusting if you move the small ring.

They don’t make springs like they used to should do.

Springs don’t usually break, not like that. Have you got hydraulic/pneumatic suspension?
