Double check sealant is fresh – was about to bin a good Racing Ralph that wouldn’t seal – then I popped a fresh shot of stans in – didn’t think it would work – 6 months in and it’s still holding .

If it were possible .. Why buy British ?

Because voting with one’s wallet is literally the only authentic vote we have in this bipartisan globalist climate …

Pretty sad if folk can’t see any worth in supporting homegrown industry – I love imported goods as much as the next person – But who can disagree that an economy with less manufacturing and more service industry is a healthy one ?

Zero growth post industrial economics is heartbreaking ..

Mac Dre – RIP …

I’ve been complemented on my £1 poundland readers and had Gucci go largely ignored – The most savy consumer should shop for frames and lenses independently . The whole industry defo places an emphasis on style over substance – most frames fail at the hinges – pricey frames don’t have better hinges .

Trendies are just the worst – they’ll buy into anything.. They should try reading some Edward Bernays ..

Seems like it’s more “geared” folks mind set toward SSers that’s militant – personally I couldn’t care less what others ride.. It’s just a bicycle ..

M8/Lollipop here too – seems like everything is working ok – hardly an improvement though ..

Ron Allen skated this year’s Tampa Pro

52 years old ..

Seal the brickwork before dot and dab – to avoid the brickwork pulling the moisture out of the bonding compound too quickly ..

I rate my crests – Can’t believe how true they still are – and I’ve battered the things on low psi .

Loads of cheap deals available second-hand right now – especially if it’s just the console minus peripherals your after ..

True story …

I’ve a buddy who swears by a healthy dash of Fabreeze of an evening – insists “it does the job” ! …

Are the single speed Stooges still available?

I’m thinking I could live with fitting the 1 1/8 s for now but I’m certain I’d be wanting to “upgrade” to tapered sooner rather than later ..

I love my Soulo – It’s worth the money – bombproof kit – gives you that little extra feeling of security when the bad weather kicks in – Especially if you like pitching up high during winter .. It literally eats up gale force winds ! I’ll give Alpenstock in Stockport a plug and say their a pleasure to buy from …

Are the Salsa Grande Cromoto the only Tapered Steel 29er rigid forks?

… Cannock on a rigid ?
Yep in the mud with V brakes – hence why the bumps were the least of my issues !

Most trail centres aren’t really that bumpy – rigid is fine – maybe if your racing it could hold you back but seeing as the majority of folk at trail centres ride at snails pace I’m surprised rigid isn’t more popular ..

If you want to keep things super cheap – keep your over trousers and get some – thermal leggings for underneath – fine if your doing day walks ..

PS4 won’t have Gears of War 4..

So why is steel so “real” ?

So that’s a no then ..
Aluminium frames are not relatively uncomfortable .. ?

So if there are no discernable differences between steel and aluminium – does this mean Alu is ultimately better as it’s lighter ?

If one wants to get nerdy about spec – don’t overlook the Mountain Hardwear Ghost Whisper …

Case in point – my buddy has a sweet spec Privee Shan literally sat gathering dust – he wants to sell but doesn’t think he’ll get what he wants for it – shame really as a bike that nice you’d be enjoyed by somebody ..

Bikes are an investment into one’s fun – If you need to justify them pertaining to their deprication either buy super rare collectables that may hold relative value or make do with cheaper ones – Replace with second-hand will also offset losses incurred ..

Try establishing a long serving loyal relationship with a mechanic – Then put your trust in him ..

Why buy a frame with an ebb in the first place if your not going to go SS ?

Anyone tried a firefly ti 27.2 ?

I haven’t found Crests to be that flimsy..

Don’t want my slippers to have too rigid a sole – the foxing on said slipper would compromise chilling duties whilst spread out on upholstery – I’m on my second pair of Billabongs – Surfing gives you cold feet – Surf brands do nice toastie booties/slippers..

Used to find London sketchy when I was young 14 – 16 – same with Birmingham – If one is super drunk staggering to a hotel or taxi then you’ve got to watch your back .. South Central /Compton Los Angeles have made me cross the street a couple of times – Hollywood has some bad areas too – turned the motor round in dead end street in Lockwood Hollywood and some Cholo lifted up his vest to show his chromed shooter off – a bit scary ..

Replace bearings – £18 on eBay

The ensuing election pantomime will merely serve to further domesticate the electorate into accepting the narrative that sovereign legislation is redundant in the face of global governance..

The divide and conquer strategy has a time served propensity for distraction – The Magna Carta is being retrofitted as we speak in accordance with ensuing banking legislation and trade reforms – Meanwhile folk want to wax lyrical about the dangers of contrived fundamentalism.. Seems like the ‘great game’ is going to plan .. We all need to come together on the issues that impinge upon our birth rights – Freedom of Speech should be taken as a given – it’s not a privilege granted to us by the state .. As long as an individual or group is not directly calling for violence or harm directly then it’s his,hers or their call if they wish to be construed as ‘offensive’ – Offending groups or individuals is not a criminal act….

Start by taking out all the existing ‘slabs’ and cobbles – pile them up – they’ll come in handy for the groundwork once the soil has been dug out to a sufficient depth to accommodate the hardcore necessary for decent levels – Groundwork can eat up all your budget in no time so wheather you take the job on or outsource it be mindful of skip costs .. Have you got good access? That will make or break the cost and efficiency of the job – If you can’t get a mini digger in and it’s all got to be dug out by hand and later sand and cement wheel barrowed through then Labour costs /time could be an issue – Be mindful of levels – drainage – stay below the property’s damp course . . Project management could be a happy medium between DIY and Subcontractors ..
