They push down on the wheel, but will generate twisting loads on the frame as the trailer tries to tip from side to side.

Obviously if you are rolling along on a smooth road and not cornering sharply these loads will be pretty small. if you're out of the saddle honking up climbs you'll notice it pretty sharply as the whole bike starts wobbling about beneath you!

You learn to use your upper body to steady it, but also to pedal more smoothly

That was well put I tried my trailer on my old S/works rigid hardtail and the wheel was not as tightly built as I should of done, 15 hilly miles later and the back wheel lost all its tension and er wobbled alot

Moral have a good tightly tensioned wheel

I agree with all your comments of the NHS it is a marvelous facility we have and it could be alot better if the red tape was removed, alas it is a system awash with red tape and a box ticking culture which wastes recources and senior managers forgets about the real reason it is there.

It is for all and when they are good by hell they are brilliant

I was driving across dartmoor today and slowing at anyone who was walking along with a back pack on hoping to see the "young rascal"

Alas in vain

Result eh 😉

Saladdodger – yawn – that old canard without a shed of truth again – can't you come up with something new, original and true?

I run a 90mm on my 16" 456 so the reach feels right and it does stay planted on the climbs. But I run 120mm travel SC32's which are quite short

+2

Guys just report this IDIOT to the mods we can do without her/him

Ro

Sharki is a friend of mine to if you had any decency you would just go away

Perhaps if you dissapeared someone might care about you, I guess you would like to think

as my old Pa would say if you have nothing worthwhile to say, say nothing PLEASE

Charlie well put

Thank you

Personally I would like to see the daft bugger on my doorstep and he would be welcomed in with open arms

Sharki there is a room here for you if you need it till you get yerself sorted .

No strings attached

I have snapped a set of easton carbon bars because I overtightened the brake levers not by much but enough to damage the bars, just pulled away and the l/h grip and brake lever came off in my hands

YES IT WAS MY FAULT but never again, I was lucky not to be hurt Alloy for me in future

firstly forget fork travel and talk axle to crown height and sag because its that that sets the head angle not how far the forks move.

Good point because I think Maz forks are long compared to Fox and RS for the same travel

IMHO not a good good tyre but not a bad tyre either they just work in most conditions( well er most of the time 😳 )

any sightings yet

Bloody good job houses are not 3 phase

unlike my pad in france

btw in france red is still used as a live conductor so much for harmonisation (sp) with europe 🙄

Or do you think a degree in Electronic and electrical endineering would class me as a qualified person for the part p thing

Do not be so stupid do you think a degree makes you educated 😆

Bit like saying a qualification or 5 makes you a instalation electrician (which it does ) but not a domestic electrician unless you have "part P" 🙄

5'8" riding a medium Cotic Simple

Inline post with a 70mm stem

I would not go smaller because of the top tube length ( but I use a 16" 456)

We go by 17th Edition trained as a qualification for competent – but our installations are not exactly domestic – safe, but not quite as safe as houses!

Bloody hell I wasted shed loads of money over the years with my City and guilds pt 1&2, inspection and testing qualification,JIB registration etc

Shame I am not deemed competant because I have not got the Part P so I cannot do domestic work, when I have run various projects including a new dental centre in Chard including the testing and signing off and been envolved in loads of othere projects in what was the construction industry

here we go TJ will be here soon ranting on about various issues

edit

bloody hell a new TJ has been born

any news lads????

456 with 125mm forks works well for me

cheaper than a Soul to

Ok blah blah blah the soul is better blah blah

I have a Cotic simple with 130mm revs on and I like it but I could not justify the £350 differance between the 456 and the Soul, so I got the 456 with no regrets what so ever

Just got back from the Q's had a good long walk but no sharki 😥

Where the hell is he needless to say alot of folk are concerned

Lazgoat

So yer old bugger what happened?

I may live in Somerset, but I'm Devonshire born and bred and very proud of it

That answers all my questions / concerns 😆
