    The pebbles from Sport-Pursuit are excellent. The larger one link in the first reply, charges and iPhone from 0-100% at least four if not five times of one full charge. Also has a display showing percentage of charge left.
    Bought one a couple of months ago and been used every week since, worked faultlessly!

    Was looking at both of the Camber Evo and Whyte T129.

    In the end I went for a Camber Evo as I got a great deal on CamberEvo UKEdition that had all the extras I wanted as standard.

    The Whyte did look good though and had a dropper as standard, but preferred the look of the normal Camber Evo.

    Will keep an eye on it!

    Seems to just move one click each time you move the compression lever, I’ll try a but of 3in1 or Gt85 see if its just dragging against the rebound dial!

    Definitely tropical, all the mahogany, iroko, padauk, sapele etc get that white powdered look when exposed. Be nice to sand it back then oil, for a richer colour and grain!

    Could be very aged Iroko, green tinged colour when fresh sawn. But darkens quickly to a deep brown when exposed to UV

    They’re the bottles that spray when you’ve put tubs in!

    Was only really if doing a quick refill whilst on an event. As normally I’d just leave it to fizz away before putting the lid on.

    But seems like it’ll be fine! Normally only have water in there and bottles for Zero tabs, just know that when full they have a bit of pressure when the tablets fizz away. Especially the CamelBak bottles that spray out when you release the cap!

    Only as they fizz away with the lid closed the bag blows up huge! Don’t have time to waste in letting it settle down

    Are you using energy drinks.

    Destroyed my RaceFace in 400miles whilst riding through the winter mud!

    Mine tested negative for all ligament damage through normal knee manipulation, and through the ACL stretch test by machine.
    Had MRI and it was completely destroyed. So I’d definitely suggest getting it looked at further.
    Even if that involves paying for a second opinion.

    Recovery time is pretty long if it’s ACL, had a repair done with hamstring graft. Was back on flat cycling after about 4 months, MTB a month after but hockey took till month 10-11!

    Yeh Mains has nowhere near.
    Although it’s a New build, it’s only a new build as we demolished an existence building and building a new one from ground up

    Even more info!

    There’s no way of main connection, it’s nowhere near our road!

    The Firewin looks an interesting one, as it can be used to heat a particular room and CH/Water. But does have a heat guard that can be raised to block room heat in the summer. Might look into this one further.

    The noise problem with the ASHP is the neighbour it is close to, it won’t affect us as it would be away from the living areas. It would be within about 4 metres of his backdoor though, other than that just unsightly.
    GSHP is a no go, as the land has already been excavated and landscaped, also heat recovery was crossed off due to space limitations in a dormer bungalow.
    House is a new build, so no problems with insulation and why our load will be so small (9kw ish).
    Already have a concrete-pad with insulated underground CH piping, electric and cold water feed to the main house, for when the biomass was supposed going outside. So this would be a prime place for the ASHP to go. Just not great visually or seemingly on the electric charges front.

    Hopefully more info from the installers on its way, will be back soon….

    The biomass was Pellet, not log/pellet.
    Was looking at windhager but purely biomass pellets not logs. As I don’t want the hassle of loading logs to keep the water going!

    Noise is one of the things as well as performance that’s bothering us! If LPG wasn’t so expensive we’d just do that!

    Seems all the non mains gas alternatives are massively expensive and have a far amount of drawbacks!! Boilers is the most expensive and the boilers are huge! ASHP seems ineffective and noisy, GSHP needs massive drilling, and solar has no way of storing energy when most is produced when your not in those during the day!

    Cheers guys, few questions to ask the installers there.

    Originally we had planned Biomass, but now having to put the boiler inside due to flue restrictions outside and the small load, have been swaying to an alternative?!

    philb88

    We have a fairly small load at 9-10 kW, through underfloor heating and only three radiators upstairs, plus hot water. Seems to be overkill for most boilers, as been advised that the house will run too hot due to the amount of underfloor pipe work. So a lower heat level running ASHP might be more suited?!

    Hi,

    Yeh I’m off main gas grid. So only options are oil, LPG or the biomass/heat pump! Otherwise I’d be going for straight gas as it’s much cheaper install and an easier fix!

    Anyone for any experience with the Torch style ones that incorporates a battery?
    Thinking might be a good light to keep in the bag in case the evening ride overrun sand it gets to the point where one on the road home might be good to be seen!

    Why both with neutral and not just dip the clutch in?

    Not sure how much is privately owned over that way, I know the Brand Wood area isn’t but the other side of the road (Sturt Farm) is.

    Further West than that not sure!!

    Premium is good if you are liking for a particle segment, as you have real-time segments. Data dependent obviously!
