Tubes, i always forget tubes

Do you have trickle vents at the top of the window?
Do you have an air brick in the room?
Do you leave the curtains closed a lot of the time?
Does the door get left open during the day?
Do you dry washing in there?

I used to run a DD on my Demo, it’s a big tyre and you’ll feel it on a mile muncher.

I have some Aldi mtb shoes that i have had for 2 years and they are good as gold on my road bike

is there a company that does this sort of treatment?

I don’t fancy running my washing machine 4-5 times to wash 3 items of clothing

dont go to meryth tydfil

I hate it when they do that.

ask the question they can only say no

you would easily be able to insure a piece of jewellery to significant figures so why not a bike?

May be rephrase it as a specific item?

Vaults, I have two sets.

Look up.

Get the Pitch,

This was my old one.

The world needs more beautiful bits of kit like this!

Apologies for the gloves.

Action shots with said Helmet, may or may not affect your performance.

I have one, fit is good, cooling is good, looks are good.

I hit mine on a heafty low hanging branch and cracked the shell a little bit but otherwise a year of trouble free use.

I think the green is a little bright now for my tastes but i will put up with it for now.

I paid £50

I have the 100% Brisker gloves and they have been great over this mild southern winter.

This time last year i had broken my ankle and was sat with the hump in my living room.
Since then i have recovered got my strength back, continued to commute to the station on the bike, completed the Ride London 100, been for a few laps around the QEOP Velodrome and learned to back flip my DJ bike into a foam pit, not a bad year considering i was off the bike for 3-4 months.

This coming year i’m going to do less of the long distance road stuff and more of trail riding and get my backflips to dirt!

always said i’d get flips to dirt before i was 40, 4 years to go!

I bought from this guy on PB http://www.pinkbike.com/buysell/1657875/

Turned up no problems brand new.

I got the Black stanchion KS LEV

Have you considered that the room will be mostly wet most of the time?

Might not be ideal on the midnight trip to the loo…

just changed from a Faux-pro with wifi to a Hero 4 silver and it is night and day.

The footage is better, functionality is better and the wifi is spot on.

IF you plan on doing a lot of instant playback you will need spare batteries for the camera and the phone/tablet device.

A camcorder sounds more suitable or a simple Iphone slow-mo video if you ask me.

IF it doesn’t need to be tough or compact don’t waste money on one that is.

I have one of these, http://www.clasohlson.com/uk/Shoe-Dryer/18-4300

Shoes are dry in about an hour and a half

Bottle opener

I wouldn’t use a garden trough a bucket would be a much better bet as it weighs more.

I have mine locked with two D-locks to a Sheffield hoop.
Garage has PIR alarm
Outside PIR light
Down a driveway between two houses with no other access.
A couple of cheaper bikes in the garage not locked up, hopefully they will go with the easy option and take them.

Stock Shimano pads on my XT brakes

Clarks 3 compound pads on my V-Brakes

Speed check is the usual reason.

Can get a bit exciting if you over cook it.

I did a few flick turns on Terry’s Belly at BPW and ended up getting all sorts of out of shape and found myself on the side of the trail holding a stick with my shoe missing!

I’d be keen on an NS Snabb.

I bought these from China they are very similar to the Leyzne ones but 1/4 of the price.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Cycling-Bicycle-Bike-3-LED-Head-Front-Rear-Tail-Warning-USB-Light-Safety-Lamp-/321952166447?#

They took about 2 weeks and i ordered 2 red 2 white so i have a back up.

They are super bright and very visible without the usual crappy mounts most lights come with.

However the rubber bits are a bit too soft for my liking so i ordered genuine leyzne ones for £1.49 each from Tweeks.

Take your wallet out of your back pocket

I’ve got ear pads for my TSG evo and it was toasty at Hemel snowdome

Long Johns in a snow dome?

You’re doing something wrong.

Shimano just sell replacement levers so don’t waste much time looking for solutions

With the water issue it would be worth ensuring there is a drainage channel fitted in front of the garage door, an Aco drain or similar.

I got my secret santa a teddy bear with their managers face on it

we enjoyed a cycle tour, gets you around a lot without having to walk it all

Eating wise we ate all over the place so many places to try.

Try to sit in the sun.

The beach was windy

La poma Dirt jumps would be on my list this time round!

Have you closed the trickle vents?

They are the little slot vents at the top of the windows.

If you have excess condensation there are a few causes

– No trickle vents
– Curtains remaining closed all day and night leading to an air pocket
– An excess of moisture in the air, Leaks etc

What is a Radon zone and should i start wearing a Tin foil hat to ride BPW?

I have the TLD 5400’s too they are great pads really comfy, don’t slide down during pedaling etc.

I did have one unfortunate incident recently where i came in hot to a berm but lent over before the wheel was fully in, the wheel went over the top and i hit the deck, as i was going so fast i continued to slide, as i was sliding the pads pulled down and left me with some decent grazes that have only just scabbed over nearly 10days later but i’m going to forgive them that as i was pushing my luck that day.

only take the water you need, if there is a cafe/pub on route potentially you could top up.

is this showing off?

B&Q worktop which is screwed to batten running around the wall with two uprights in the centre secured to the floor and the underside of the worktop.
I have a “snap on” type roller cab with the tools in and i intend to fit some kitchen cabinets free standing below the work top.

Putting face height cabinets will make it a bit claustrophobic in there.
