    Love mine, 115 dualiner in ‘long’. Long is a medium length, same wheelbase as the swb but a slightly longer body, a smidge over 5 metres. As above rear wheel drive means it turns well so all in all its happy in multi story car parks. Saves thousands over a vw

    Couple of cheap self inflating decathalon matresses for me. £12 each. Sorted. Also handy is the low folding table they do, saves losing keys, phone etc in the van mess and helps keep the beer from being spilt

    First thing i did with the van was buy a DAB bluetooth ipod handsfree thing. Strangely though i still fill up the glovebox with CDs and prefer them to the other gubbins.

    Ive done ukge and then pmba more recently. Not really been that enthusiastic this year, in particular im not really bothered for the rounds that have a lot of pushing, i like a bike ride when i go out. I might try welsh enduro series for a change next year, is it all on trail centres or do they have natural stages as well?

    Maybe from round the valve? Try pumping them up a bit and see if you can see any bubbles. Have you ridden them yet? Sealant might just need a bit more of a slosh around

    I use that 1130, has sat fine on 2 different nw rings. Never even considered direction. Could the ring be worn or bent?

    I have used 2.5 minions on flow rims and they were fine. Now using magic mary on arch ex, also fine. The tyre is barely any narrower than a minion and has more grip in my opinion. Also saves a bit of weight

    Does your school have a contract with any of the learning websites? Our school used education city. Our daughter hated maths at school but when we logged onto her education city account she blitzed all the maths exercises quickly with a bit of help and she quite likes it now

    Bike glove box has just gone straight to the top of the ‘must have’ features of my next bike. The new enduro even has this and a threaded bottom bracket. Ideal

    The new entry level whyte g160 is going to be £2400, thats a much more modern bike for an extra bit of cash. 150mm travel rear though so might not be enough if its a pure ‘park bike’

    My vito did this, apparently slight lip on the disc was causing it, my garage slightly filed the top corner of the pad and it stopped (was told to budget for new discs at next pad change).

    Top off definitely worth a ban. Vests also, unless under a shirt

    Decathalon foot pump with optional double head was my choice. Cost about £13 and small enough to live in the van

    I hired out a bongo recently when i needed a van at short notice. Not a van i aspire but own but simple, easy to drive and cheap to buy. It made me think of hiring them out myself. Good ones seem to go for about £9000, rental returns seem relatively high compared to the £20,000 plus it would cost to buy a vw. Only thing is that its pretty certain that a 20 year old van in constant use is going to go wrong at some point and when it does it is going to mess up someones holiday

    Mine does this, xtr shifter, m8000 medium cage mech, m8000 11-42 cassette. Ive tried different chains, different chain rings and variants of up to about 4mm of spacers to move the chainring in further (its sat on the middle tabs of an old shimano triple). It still falls off the 42 ring when back pedalling. Sadly i have learned to live with it

    Ive not been through this myself but my instinct would be: hide your money, look for hers, and tell her that if she is not happy she can f*** off and live somewhere else

    Happened to my mates focus and eventually meant it wouldnt pass its mot. He was quoted 500 for a second hand instrument panel fitted so it effectively scrapped the car. If the one you are looking at is cheap and has 12 month ticket might be worth a punt otherwise i would walk away

    Chapaking your race sounds so similar to mine, binned it in stage one, felt sick and shakey then destroyed by the heat. Definitely the toughest race ive done, i dont even remember the 40k ukge races being that hard. Still great though and cant wait for kirroughtree

    Should be able to get a set of mint linn katan for £400 or less. Great for small rooms and fully shielded in case they need to go near telly

    Whyte g160. About 3 weeks ago. Rode it uphill and it felt ok if a bit long, first corner on the way down sold me. Must have that bike

    I got a sony one from halfords and an aerial that sticks to the inside of the window. I paid for them to fit it. The DAB quality and coverage is superb. Im sure they had a mechless head unit in there when i bought it (sony one came with a cd which ive used more than i thought i would). Menu and usability of the sony system is dreadful though so next time i would go for a different brand and get a full colour touch screen display

    Ive never seen a red flag. But im guessing the marshalls will tell you what to do. Its a really good race series, genuinely accepting of all abilities. Have fun!
