I think that was quite reasonable behaviour. People who stand around on the trail are real pain in the arse.

Radon Black sin

Downside to tubeless= you allways seem to want to fix even the biggest tear/rip or **** up tyre regardless of where you are instead of just plonking a spare innertube in and riding on .

Not sure how using duck tape/sparky tape is a bodged job .
Stans tape is ‘tape’ nothing else ,it has no special powers .

Dry lube all year , Teflon based . Wet lube just makes a mess .

Richmond / Bedale etc ,but NOT Middlesbrough !

The side where the hinges are i’ve got a few lengths of chain before {top and bottom of the door } and anchored each end to the door and shed , so if they prise the hinges of the shed the chain stops the door from opening out , if you get my drift .
Anything that slows the scum bags down all works .

Swaledale is getting battered by high winds lately .

2 Coke bottles linked up using a T piece worked loads better then 1 coke bottle .

Plenty of 510’s are the same,iv’e seen riders have 50% extra elevation on strava because there’s been a low pressure that day .

Been using galaxy hot chocolate bottle etc at work for years for screws/nails/nik naks etc , found nowt better .

Astra cdti estate H , seats fold down easy + £20 saris fork clamp {job done} . awesome on juice as well .

Spending £50 on a pair of clear glasses is a scary thought .

Getting sprayed by stans , and not even having to stop because the punctures fixed .

Watched a weasel kill a rabbit a few weeks ago near Thoralby then take it off into the grass , and about 5 years caught one pushing a pheasants egg over a cycleway/old railway line .

If you want scenery and a mint ride then go to Wensledale/Swaledale/nidderdale etc , and there still on the doorstep .
Nowt against the NY moors but the dales blows it away easily .

You’ll need a compass with them there maps yours about to buy .

Carlton to West burton then go up Morpeth gate as a short but 2hr loop .

I’d not have found some mint routes around the dales if it wasn’t for strava ,simply looking at other lads routes then linking them together etc , routes that you’d never find on google earth/maps etc .
Not into this kudos crap though .

My friend has the 2015 2 and I’ve got the 2014 4 (upgraded to Pikes/ Monarch Plus , 1×10).

The 2015 2 Fox bits seem decent enough, think the Giant rims are a mission to get sorted tubeless.

Did my giant rims pretty easy on my Anthem sx and used the standard tyres , went on pretty easy tbh .

Stans here , tried Goop once , bloody waste of money that was .

Your basically getting payed ‘cash in hand’ so to speak .
Even if you work for one contractor per week YOU need to use your UTR .

Creamed tapioca straight from the tin and allways have done , also just found toffee flavour greek style yogurt , super yummy .

I strip the bike ready to fit in the bag , then it goes in the boot along with a cheap bike bag I got of ebay , the bag isn’t a solid type so it folds over and hardly takes any room up unlike , this is with 3 suitcase’s as well , the cars a astra estate with the back seats still up .
If I put the bike in the bag it won’t fit in simply because the bag and bike combined is to long , when I get to the airport I simply chuck the stripped bike in the bag which only takes a few mins in the car park .
So the answers yes .

Id sooner annoy the odd pedestrian then have a 7 year old ride on main road . Madness .

18 year old Mint sauce jersey , best fitting/well made jersey ever .

Arm pump on a MTB, behave. Go and ride motocross for a 30 minute moto

.

Ditto ,although having a slacker grips and a few asprin to thin the blood allways helped while racing mx .

Why not be sensible with £20k and let him have a little fun with the other £4k?

Life is too short to be sensible all of the time.

Lost count of how many times ive seen a csr coming from the other way on a bend and thinking ‘if there’d been a cyclist in front he’d be dead now.

I’m not sure the GPS watches will be any more accurate than a phone.

With a lot it is a software setting to alter the sample rate/accuracy.

Another classic idiotic london cyclist.

“But but, it was yellow/almost green so that means I can go regardless”

Barely rode for 6 months now through a bust up septum and sinus blockage {so I look perfectly healthy on the outside} but riding totally kills me atm , so looking back a E bike might have helped me get out , so its hard to judge riders who use them .

All of the riders that I have seen so far do not display any outwardly physical signs of any disabilities.

peepingtom » Some elevations are way out . Happens with some garmins with a barometer as well not just phones .

Er, your linked example is a phone – I’m not sure you’ve proved the point. My Garmin with a baro altimeter has never recorded a climb amount which seemed at all off.

2 coke bottles linked together , ton’s better then just one bottle .

https://www.strava.com/segments/8884125 Buckden Pike anti clockwise , possibly the Dales hardest ?

https://www.strava.com/segments/2171932 . Way harder then Fremington edge or Mastilles lane . Half a dozen beasts around Buckden as well .

You want to try working with your kids , its like having A ball n chain around your neck , and there never wrong .

It gets worse , be prepared .

The scenario ‘your 29er has a goosed rear hub , you go out on your obsolete 26″ , ride for 10 hours and clock up 50-60 miles over awesome singletrack etc {grinning from ear to ear] , then and get home think ‘ well that was shit having to ride a obsolete 26″ ‘ ? .

BTW how can anyone mention what pro’s ride ? they get paid to ride what the manufacturer/sponsor give’s them . £££££££
