Tescos been with em for years

Paid up no worries with our sadly departed Sassie

Got a 8 week old retriever on monday she is with Tescos already

I was going to vote for Jeremy Clarkson for Prime Minister

Sharki would you settle for the deputy job 😉

fair comment Deadlydarcy

Very well put

Sorry if I appear to be a bit dumb but murder should be life as in they leave prison in a box.

How would you feel as a parent?????

I am average

My BMI says so if I was a foot taller 😉

I used to use NN front and RR rear on my xc717’s and I was happy with the grip and rolling resistance but not with how weak the construction was

I went “Ghetto tubeless and the Schwables were impossable to seal (admittedly not tubeless) so I tried Specialized Purgatory front and Captain rear

the bead sealed easy with a track pump and the grip is realy on par with the RR/NN and they roll well to

Ghetto conversion £4 a wheel tyres £22 each

Bargain

Hmmmmm I am torn I fancy a Cotic X ( to go with my Simple and Soul)and swap all the bits off my Kaff

But the Halfrauds deal on the Boardman is just too tempting

for my 2p’s worth

Getto tubeless works well

Specialized 2bliss tyres seal and inflate easily with a track pump

Kenda / schwable non tubeless ready are a pain to get to seal infact near impossable (for me)

much better er “feel” realy noticed when I rippped the sidewall of a tyre sealant sprayed all over the place and I had to use a tube to get me home ( the bike felt bloody awful)

Is it worth doing??

For me yes

yep the Wyre tis ace

Cheers del you to buddie

Del I have sold the DMR’s / WI wheels on

I should not of wasted the money on the Hopes realy cos they are no better infact they are heavier 😕

alas the Shimano freewheel is shite and do not last long honest, thats why I used WI on the DMR wheels

I would go superstar with hindsight, but I bought hope and wasted a wad

Sorry should of said on the above post that if I was needing a new wheel I would get a superstar s/s hub and build a wheel onto it

Despite the grief superstar get of this forum I have NEVER had any issues and At >£50 the hub is well worth a go

I now use a Hope s/s hub on 717’s and it does what is says on the label it works.

Previously I used a DMR hub on 717’s with a WI freewheel again it worked but alas the build eneded up lighter than the hope set up

With hindsight I would of stuck to the DMR/WI set up and saved a load of cash

I know how you must feel we lost our Sassie ( golden retriever) after 14 years, but I did take some solice because I could be kinder to her than I could my father.

crying now sorry

seconded 7o’clock sharp for me to

do not bother if your recons work keep em

I have a set of RC39’s in my garage which need an oil change and seal replacement, they always needed stripping down and cleaning to keep em working a real pain in the butt

Look good though 🙄

bloody hell amazing how much steering goes on ace angle to shoot from

and you shore you built would keep my wood burner going for years 😉

I do facilities maintenance within the retail sector and if I worked boxing day I would be on double time and time off in lue

Call that treble time

How much is your bank holiday worth to be with your family??????

quite a few folk from the Q’s have gone back to hardtail me included

No regrets on my behalf

does it fit on a USE mount???

that will be worth going only a 45 mile drive. Shame Argos Racing Cycles are not there because they are only 2 miles away from the venue

seconded Sloe whiskey is tops

btw I do not like whiskey as a rule

I am just over the top of the Wellington monument and I can garrentee there will be a ride of some sorts up there just repost closer to the time

Hilton83 I agree with your last comments the bottom line is safety

Bang on about people will play with electrics but will not touch gas which you can smell unlike electricity which gives no warning before it all goes wrong

I have had a belt or 2 in my time and it is not pleasant as I am sure you are well aware and I have seen the results of cost cutting safety and a small child never saw it’s first birthday. That was the worst testing job I ever did with the baby’s rocker still next to the socket that took it’s life ( I confess I cried whilst doing that test)

Bottom line IF YOU ARE NOT SURE OF WHAT YOU ARE DOING PLEASE DO NOT DO IT ELECTRICITY CAN AND DOES KILL[/u]

Hmmmm NICEIC thats a registered charity 🙄

As a side note, fully certifying 5 houses a day PROPERLY should take about 3 hours per house

Agreed if not longer if light fittings need disconnecting etc

yea yea yea part P

I bet the police are realy interested in a non part P electrician doing his own wiring

So I am breaking the law and the blue lights are flashing

Does that give me a criminal record 🙄

what about Table 1 of part P work that need not be notified to building control ??

But alas you got yer feet wet

of all the tests in my mind the Zs is the most important and try explaining that a RCD fails a x1 test and then get told its ok cos it works on the test button

yep you are right it could be a long night

why well tbh I do not work on domestic properties but commercial and when I did do domestic work the company I worked for was building control registered.

So for example one contract I was on was the building of a dental practice in Devon,I was the only electrician bar 2 apprentices on the site and I did everything from start to finish including the testing. I was at the time the company NICEIC coordinator.

Yet officially I cannot do my own house 😕

Yes I am doing things to it ( with not a single ring main installed ) but what I will do is go to building control with all the test certification and go for retrograde planning permission

Building control are suffering cutbacks as it is, so they cannot police everything and the rumor on the grape vine is Part P may well be scrapped

Lets be honest all the regs in the world do nothing if you can get all the kit you need from B&Q etc and just for the record I do not do any private work after a week at work I have had enough

Hilton83

Thats me buggered then 30years experiance C&G236 1 & 2, inspection and test 15th 16th and 17th.

But I need to call someone in to work in my bathroom and kitchen 🙄

er MY ARSE

YES

Part P are you sure to do “any work” 😉

tbh your are screwed they will get you

how does the power come into your house is it on overhead power lines if so you should have a earth spike ( called a TT system ) that is your responsability
or
On the telegraph poles is there a red label about 10 ft up the post with PME on it then the electricity board could supply a earth but that will no doubt cost

If the cables come underground then the board should supply a earth called TNS where the sheath of the suppply cable is used as a earth and electrician can do that for you

if you live in the Taunton area I would happily have a look, but You NEED IT DONE ASAP
