<i>Wife had aa out year before last they did check I’d and aa card.    Aa membership covers you as a passenger so your friend just has to be there </i>

Never know what companies like til you have to claim but currently insured on an annual policy with insure n go.   I paided   £96 plus £20 for hazardous activities

Used snowcard in past as well but never had to claim

Another vote for simply bearings here

Many miles on the front ring ?  I was getting a similar problem  when things started getting worn, went away with new front ring  I went with a top chain guide in the end.

P20 is easiest to get hold of but always used to use pro sport for windsurfing trips to Egypt

Making holes in plastic food packaging.  We have have 5 of these at work

Electro magnet on top with a cutter with film running over the die underneath

Main trail head car park. If I remember head up the first cclimb and pick up the last section.  There is/was a map on trail head

Yep  used 26inch in 29er to get me home

I think your over estimating your brake temp considerably

Stopping

Mass of bike + rider = 100kg

Speed = 10 m/s (36km/h, about 22.4mph)

kinetic energy = 0.5 m v^2 = 5000J

A basic 180mm steel brake rotor weighs about 150g and the specific heat of steel is about 0.5 J/gK (Joules per gram-degree), so converting 5kJ of kinetic energy into heat in the rotor should increase the rotor temperature by 67 degrees (C), assuming none of the energy is absorbed by the brake pad, caliper body or brake fluid (not realistic, but useful to identify an upper bound for the rotor).

Descents

To maintain constant speed on an even slope, the change in gravitational potential energy must equal the heat energy extracted by braking (plus other sources of friction and drag that we’re ignoring).

Descending a 1 in 10 slope for a 100m distance gives a height change of 9.95m (not 10m, because the distance is along the hypotenuse).

Gravity on earth is about 9.8 m/s^2.

Energy change = m g h = 100 * 9.8 * 9.95 = 9751J

This would increase the rotor temperature by 130 degrees.

The gearbox linkage is held on with a plastic ball joint which wears you can buy a clip off ebay which stops it popping off.

Work in both at work master reel comes on a 3 or 6″ core but is 1200mm wide :lol:
Bag is made 200mm x 300mm but is put on a 3″ wicket

Feel your pain! Good breakfast, blackout blinds earplugs sometimes even an eyemask. If you are perm nights it will get easier I often only get 6 -7 hours on my first 3 nights back (only do 3 or 4 then back to days)
When I was on 8 hour nights I used to have dinner in the evening the get an hour or two before work

Anyone else on weird shift patterns?
4 nights 3 off 3 days 1 off 3 nights 3 off 4 days 7 off then repeat
Looks good on a screen but only 2 weekends a month off and knackered after 7 off because of trying to ride everyday

Drive and garage is at rear of house here. Had an up and over door ‘done’ where I used to live. So have a steel security door in rear of garage for access
The main door is just for show now runners chocked, bolted and screwed shut I can’t even open it!

Another vote for maderia for previous reasons. Freeride maderia sorted days bike hire, guiding/uplift and picked me from hotel
Enduro world series trails are ace!

Correct one day not enough need to go back for a full biking holiday :)

Flew with vueling once iberias low cost option, clowns!
Airport staff tried putting bike through with out tags on it, tried to charge me again
The flight had 3 numbers a ba number, iberia number and the vueling number. All got the same carp service on the plane

I always go easyjet with bike now know where you stand

Had an Epson xp215 for a couple of years, still working despite being used very little which has killed most of my previous printer by blocked heads

we Done a Canyon lands and Indians tour in American with Grand American adventures http://www.grandamericanadventures.com/tours/grand-canyon-holidays.html
We done a small tour but sure something could be done hiring a camper or car if you don’t fancy the group thing

Navajo guided backroads tour in Monument Valley
Zion’s sandstone cliffs, canyons and valleys
Bryce Canyon’s rock hoodoos
Visit to Glen Canyon Dam
Monument Valley – home of the Navajo
Grand Canyon sunrise or sunset
Visit Seligman on the original and iconic Route 66
Cruise the Las Vegas Strip
Scenic walks and inspiring hikes

Non stiff shoes with spds just feel wrong to me, I bought a pair of shimano am45 nice and comfortable for short rides and any hike abike.
Long days out and lots of pedalling they just don’t feel that good been all over with the cleat fittings. The shoes just feel like the are folding over the sides of the pedals along with my feet!

Same as a few others above. Both have salaries paid into our own accounts then all the bills are paid out of a joint account. All accounts with natwest

Never been bumped up, not even on my honeymoon nor flying on staff tickets

If you are looking for non boost wheels Bird are selling off all the dt swiss e1900 non boost wheels in stock

Another vote for simply bearings in Leigh

I’ve tried to lose the chain on my NW, clutch off the rockiest trail I know I failed!

Had a poor experience with boots a fee years ago misdiagnosed with glaucoma. I got quite uptight and stressed while waiting to be seen at hospital only to told “why are you here? nothing wrong with your eyes” other than a bit short sighted”

How about a weather vane?

I’d say coed y brenin choice of routes from Blue to black. Skills section to have a preview of what’s out on the trails

I have an ice sticker on my helmet mainly aimed for use in construction industry

Someone in the Glasgow area has a car the same my wife’s and only one letter difference on the reg. That letter is a C with a black headed screw near it making it look like a G to the anpr. Just got a “parking charge” in the post

Missed the staying 9speed !

Could do what I done bought a new bike and all my 11 speed stuff went on the other half’s bike

I’d be tempted to do away with front mech and go 1x 10

Birds’s have short seat tube to allow for a long dropper

Just ditched my garmin 25 awful battery life less than 4 hours if it was cold, with every switched off.
Bought a lezyne macro for less than the 25 cost for three times the features.

Bikehike.co.uk is good for planning routes

I love cheese and I love apple pie but not in the same mouthful

How much of the course is rideable after the event? Was hoping to attend but the new date clashed with taking the wife to Edinburgh.
Would like to have a bimble round during the week

I can’t ride mine down the road :cry:

Happy with my b n q kitchen here grand fitted. Used there fitters so if any bits missing, broken they sorted it.
Worked well as one of the draw units had 2 left hand runners supplied with it.
Also no deposit credit plus interest free if paid off within 12 months

Don’t know what I use litres wise but pay £20 month just the two of us though.

Solo air? Should just be a matter of changing the air shaft although some rebas won’t go the full 120mm
I got about 115mm out of mine due to the dampening shaft being too short.
