Love a Sinn!

If it’s happening when your leg is in the rear position, e.g when the hip is extended, it is is possibly a quad/hip issue manifesting as knee pain as the quadriceps crosses the knee and insets on the top of the shin.

Several other key muscles in the hip area that can trigger pain when in an extended position if they are tight

Many reasons this could be happening – imbalance, lack of stability etc.

could also be linked to glute/hamstrings issues

The physio will be best placed to diagnose and advise. Hope it gets better soon!

Even when they are clean most black cars look terrible due to fact that most have been washed so poorly over time. They just show all the swirls, buffer trails and holograms (as others have stated). I would never even contemplate a black car for that reason.

Just ask them to explain some of the content of the paper. Targeted questions about some of the key themes etc.

Should be relatively easy to determine whether they understand what has been written and whether they really were the author.

I have several Global knives and whilst they are excellent and retain their sharpness well, I do find the handles a little uncomfortable and slippy – particularly on the larger knives.

Have a look on Kin knives website for more inspiration: https://www.kinknives.com

Sum 41?

Bring me the horizon?

I didn’t watch skins.

Papa Roach – Last Resort?

Loads of these in stock in Aberdeen branch. Tried on several different models and found they all fitted slightly differently. Size 10.5 Sam Hills are tiny, freeriders fit well with nice wide toe, and pros/sleuths quite narrow. 

Be ware not all priced the same as online but managed to get some Freerider EPS for the online price. 

If he wants to buy the Boss one then just help him find it at the cheapest possible price. Online will invariably be cheaper than a main dealer.

I can understand why Boss as a brand is more desirable to kids (and some adults) than Seiko, San Martin or Pagani.

£650 for slightly modified Audi RS3

8000 miles

Covered for both my wife and I (41) personal and business use, parked on road overnight.

Just lowering the car 20mm and changing wheels put c.£250 on the policy!

But you do know what it means really.

Blue Pro Max arrived this afternoon and I’m very happy with it. Going to see if I can run it without a case for a change.

It’s definitely more comfortable and less slippery to hold than the previous stainless steel iterations.

.

Loads of good places to run but dog off lead and good surface might be tricky.

Depending on tides you could run along the beach and loop back through Seaton park/river Don path but need to deal with a bit of traffic.  There’s a good path next to the beach too

Hazlehead park and Counteswells forest also an option on edge of the city. Lots of other walkers and cyclists likely though.

Kirkhill forest near the airport is worth considering but quite hilly. It’s off-road but pretty well surfaced .

Duthie park and old Deeside railway line are good but quite busy  with other users so dog off lead would be a bit inconsiderate.

if you don’t mind a bit of a drive Glen tanar is beautiful and great for running but it is off-road.

Yeah sorry didn’t mean to necessarily insult the PRX. It’s a lovely watch at the price point. It’s just that the Tissot and the 12 often get compared – perhaps unfairly.

So far still digging it. Was worried the lack of micro adjustments might be an issue but there’s a good amount of big and small links provided and the screw attachments are easy to use so got a perfect fit.

It’s very light compared to what I typically wear and it passed the wife approval test! Although she did say it looked a bit like a dad watch from the 80s!

Re the poor customer service. It just fell short of the standard I would expect of a company who sell a premium product and operate purely online – slow dispatch, lack of proactive coms and poor response to email correspondence. Not the end of the world but a bit disappointing. I’ll probably get over it.

Finally gave in and thought I’d see what all the fuss was about

It’s very well made and I like it more than I thought I would. At 40mm I thought it might be a bit small but it’s a good size on my wrist. It’s probably a keeper. It’s certainly a step up in quality from the PRX I had for three days (before it broke). The fit is much better too

Not the best buying experience or customer service from Chris Ward however so probs the last watch I buy from them.

I’d have the Sinn over either Breitling all day every day. I have a tegimented U1 or 103 St Sa on my radar at the moment.

I’d go with the Superocean Heritage for sure. Looks v nice in the flesh.

Doesn’t it also have a better/fancier movement than the regular Superocean?

The new trails built at Tarland in Aberdeenshire are just what the region needed. There is plenty of steep, natural, gnarly and technical riding in the area, as well as epic natural adventure wilderness but there was definitely a lack of all-season jumpy, flowy stuff.

What has been built at Tarland is perfect. It’s fun for a relative beginner to ride or a seasoned shredder to, erm, shred. They are man made and flowy but some are still quite technical in their layout so they are still a challenge to ride fast – and great fun. The way all the trails have been plotted out is very clever too so you can loop all of them without having to repeat the same climbs repeatedly (well not too much) – its not just up/down the same road.

Similarly the trails at Glenlivet have a great range of trails for a wide range of abilities.

I think they are a great complement to all the long established natural trails and will only benefit riders in the area – especially the young uns.

I can recommend Secrid wallets.

RICE is pretty much a debunked strategy these days. Try to stretch, mobilize and get moving. As above a bit of massage may help too,

To be fair their website is pretty clear on how to pack items for shipping to them and consequences of  doing it incorrectly.

Its not really their problem if you didn’t read it.

In addition to the risks of jamming conveyors etc. I imagine it would get pretty tedious and be very time consuming having to de-shroud items wrapped in excessive tape or plastic.

Here is the summer price list for mountain biking

Doing the Etape on the 9th then will be in Morzine/Les Gets for the stage finish/stage start the following weekend.

Cant wait!

The Loyle Carner performance was terrific on tv, would have loved to have been there.

I have a few pairs of Sutros but I wouldn’t wear them on my mtb as they’re not a snug/secure as jawbreakers. Great on the roadbike though.

Jawbreakers are my preferred mtb glasses.

Mutzig is rank! My top tip is to completely avoid it and the places that sell it.

Could just cycle up? ;-P

I’ve ridden up to Pointes des Mossettes sans eeb.

Its a killer but it gives you a whole different appreciation for the lifts.

If you do get the ferry to Denmark you could get a tattoo – Helsingør is home to Royal Tattoo, one of the most famous and very best Tattoo Shops in the world.

It’s also just a lovely town for a wander round and home to Kronborg castle.

The Torridon is rather nice and it has less formal accommodation for groups too.

But it’s nae cheap.

That green/bronze Rado can be had from Ernest Jones for £1836 with extra discount code if bought tonight.

If you like supporting small independent businesses and fantastic artists then I recommend – Exclusive Tees by Scottish Artist Stormstatic.

Storm Static

Deviate Highlander or Claymore?

If they’re local then propose to meet in a very public place if you really need to. I have done this multiple times before. There is no way in hell I would reveal my address to a stranger on ebay.

Also see draw instead of drawer and shirely instead of surely (which I am never sure people do deliberately or not).

Nutella is like 80% palm oil. There’s virtually no chocolate or nuts in it.

Pure filth.

Yes I had it for breakfast on a bagel prior to riding today.

Own brand French super market pork rillettes is pretty much entirely fat so it has to be one of the most calorie dense foods on earth.

And yet strangely delicious spread on a baguette with a little glass stubby beer.

Yeah my 38s make some strange noises – particularly when working hard – but they perform very well. It does settle down as they bed in if memory serves. I seem to remember being particularly surprised by the noises on the first few rides.

The Breitling isn’t an ETA clone, as I understand it it’s a high-grade ETA 2824 ébauche that has been assembled and tuned by Breitling to chronometer standard.

I’m wearing the older model Superocean today. It’s a 44mm so as big as I would go (not as large as the photo makes it look). It’s great quality and I enjoy wearing it.

Club Roost bars with a bolt on brace were the absoloute shit during handlebar war 1 (before Azonic came along)
