    I run 125mm Mavs on mine and it works a treat I would not go longer but I wold go shorter

    Knottie uses 100mm on his and he flies on the downs

    I know of one guy with a Ti456 and he has swapped from a set of Long travel fox's to 100mm and prefers it

    Any gear inner and outer but stick a Middleburn cable oiler in the middle so you can flush out any crap that gets in

    In my opinion the best dropouts I have seen for s/s use are on "dibbs" Whyte 19 and I would be more than happy with a Ti19

    But alas I will keep the Simple for a good few years yet 😀

    Get it bought, by far the best frame I've ridden in over 10 years, and a bargain to boot

    I have been riding for about 20 years and I agree with the above statement

    I bought mine to replace a giant trance fed up with thee full sus and it was worth every penny the most enjoyable bike I have ever ridden it just does every thing it should and at a minimum cost, well it is unbelivable realy

    I used to work for a butchers called HH Collins in Broadway (worcs) and we used to cure our own bacon and it was fantastic. The factory has now gone and perhaps the shop which is still there may get some good stuff in.

    Me I now cure my own bacon as well as smoke it and I aint too bad at it eithere

    There are lots of good books out there try a guy called Paul Peacock

    Easy reading and easy to follow

    Excuse my ignorance but would the cooling fins not be more efficiant in the front to back direction to go with the airflow over it

    Good luck all the same

    We have had 7 ex battery hens in the last 12 months NEVER EVER AGAIN there are too many problems and in 12 months we are left with 1 poor soul (called scraggy because we did not think she would live for long and she was a real mess) the egg laying for us has been hit and miss with nothing for the last 2 months.

    We will not get any more exbats, but once scraggy dies we will get 5 point of lay chickens, strange realy but the garden is now empty without chickens and I would never get less than 3.

    Yes I guess they were a sort of usefull pets and you do get attached to them

    Now this is why you should have your wiring tested on a regular basis the problem is a house is considered safe because your lights go on and off

    IGM for your infomation
    A RCD should not trip at half fault current 15mA
    At 30 maA the RCD should trip in less than 0.2 seconds but I have tested hundreds of Rcds and most trip at less than 0.025 of a second.
    On a ramp test as a rule a RCD trips at 20 – 23 milli amps

    As for where does all these safe values come from, well alas it was not descovered by guess work or animal testing but it was done on real people back in the 1940's in various camps in eastern europe during the holocaust. Not nice to know eh

    According to the regs you should have a value of at the most 200ohms (that would give a fault voltage of less than 50v )but there are so many variables I personally would not be happy if you had a value of more than 50 ohms cos I am a fussy shit and a neeedless to say fully qualified spark

    Really?

    Voltage is a constant in this scenario – let's say 240v, because we very rarely find 230v. It's current that kills and at 200 ohms resistance 1.2 amps will pass through under fault conditions. Approx 0.05 amps is enough to f*ck with your heart.

    However your RCD should be 30ma (0.03 amps sensitivity), therefore will protect you from death if it's working correctly. TheArtistFormerlyKnownAsSTR – Member

    You speak the truth 😳

    In my defence I should of added that a TT instalation ( basically a system that need a earth spike) must be protected with a 30ma RCD to comply with the regulations so

    If you have a 30ma fault current multiplied by 200ohms (ohms law is V=I x R)
    you will be left with a potential fault touch voltage of 6 volts which is less than 50v fault voltage which is what I should of said

    If you are on overhead power lines the telegraph pole will have a red label at about 3m above ground saying PME, if it can be converted

    but there is nowt wrong with a earth spike as long as you have a good earth

    Where do you live ? I could do a external earth loop impedance test for you so you can realy know if you have a good earth, you can guess all you like but untill it is tested you will never know
