That’s tonight’s TV sorted.

I use it in the big ring but to be fair, only just discovered it did it after 10 years.

Anyone have any info on the final book in the series?

Is it coming along/to be released soon?

Been through something similar with Mrs Sandwicheater.

Didn’t want all singing and dancing message/email etc on the watch.

Needed to me small & keep her motivated/track steps/heartrate.

Garmin Vivosmart 4 ticked all the boxes.

She seems very pleased with it.

Can the mods at ‘STW Official Crack Inspector’ to @Davesport user name? oh go on, I’ll be your friend.

+1 for Garmin, bombproof. Just works.

Yeah, new dog! Hope you have loads of fun together.

You win longest dog lead. Willards right, that bench does need some love.

MK7 Axis on CRC is a very good bet at the moment.

Follow dja25, what a small world.

Same thing happened to me OP (well, not all the horrible year stuff preceding this, just the window). Just driving down the motorway and ‘pop’ the back window shattered.

It did stay in place until i got to work which was nice. Then collapsed.

This year can flip off.

Used these guys when we needed a replacement earlier in the year, was easy enough, came very well packaged;

Ours caused by suspected indoor football but the kids will never admit it.

Cheers all.

Reckon we’re going to hire both SWB/LWB and see how Mrs Sandwhicheater gets on.

We’ve a Mondeo estate at present which i’d not realised was about the same length as the SWB.

I’d been discounting the LWB but what’s 40cm among friends.

Cheers again.

Won’t typically have more that two adult bikes in at a time.

When i’ve had need for more bikes, won’t be with the dog and can jiggle the seats about or take wheels off.

Cheers willstaffs, ours will have a similar dog crate so that’s good to know.

My brother recently purchased a thatched property built circa 1600, similar constructions to yours OP.

Best provider on price was Thatchline.

MIDAS (via broker) and NFU (direct) also quoted.

They seem to enjoy sitting in puddles when ever i’ve come across them. That is the start and end of my knowledge on them.

Our lab/springer cross has a permanent look of sadness about him. I think he’s just disappointed that we haven’t fed him since the last time.

Hahaha, glad it’s not just ours!

Hello doggy, brilliant.

Waiting for the last book in the series

Very much ^ this.

I’m the same proportions. Watching with interest.

A few crashes last year have my DHBs mostly held together by some very poor repair jobs.

Currently have an old set of DHBs & a relatively new set of Morvelos.

DHBs fit very well, Morvelos a tad tights over calfs/thinghs but fine length wise.

Not sure what sizes, sorry. Currently decorating and all behind a wall of furniture.

I’ll dig them out and have a look later.

I’ve some E4’s, purchased following my XT’s failed.

Initial reason was serviceability. It left a bitter pill being told i couldn’t repair the old XT’s and to bin them.

I always manage to stop, find it easier with the Hopes to control back wheel on the very steep stuff (not locking up).

Find my fingers do get knackered more with the Hopes, maybe i have to pull harder? No idea.

They are nice to look at.

DHB do a set, had them for a few years, been fine.

Bit more than you want to spend, £57 at the mo;

Bookmarked for later.

OP, if you’d like me to take a look at insurance for you, i’m in this sector. DM if you want a chat.

As it’s a fairly recent fix, firstly, insurers would want to know the root cause with written evidence. Check for a structural survey identifying damage and cause. In this case, sounds like the tree but, you want confirmation of this from a qualified surveyor/engineer. Secondly, detailed evidence of the remedial works with information on monitoring periods post repair. Info on warranty for the works and info on who the remedial work was carried out by.

With all the above, you shouldn’t have a problem getting insurance. It will limit who will offer terms, you’ll likely have a higher subsidence excess to start and, you will be paying over the average as a result for insurance.

With evidence of the above, i’d be happy to purchase a house with previous subsidence/underpinning.

Post them a photo of a frozen toilet sausage, so they know your serious.

Have the shop offered any of the above OP?

IMO, what pdw said;

Get them to rebuild onto a new hub?

Cheers for posting OP.

I’ll give it a whirl.

Tried last year with the Mrs but a case of bad cat aids at about day 50 put an end to it.

I’ve started today, didn’t have anything better to do this morning. Mrs Sandwicheater will again keep me company.

Expected but sad news.

Where did you get that from jay?

Well bugger, not sure my legs were expecting this decision;

http://www.k-ca.org/rvc-2020/4595037170

RVC going ahead.

In two minds about going or deferring. Suspect i’ll still go but i’ve been pretty lazy on the road bike.

If they are driving a holiday rental vehicle, he may well have a very high excess/security deposit on the line and would welcome a quick resolution (i know i would).

Just find out the new price for light bar/rack and sent them the link. Like you i’d take the car bump on the chin, no great loss.

I’d have a wee chat with your local MP. A few of our clients fell through the cracks regards the £10k grant and he sorted each one out on their behalf.

Good work. Booked marked to steal route later, yoink!!!

Looks like the 2021 version has had a few more articles than the previous 5 years of bikes put together including some ride reviews.

Cheers all.

Cheers j40, good to know. It’s what the shop implied.

Dakine Hot Laps 2L, been great and just the right size for a quick spin/essentials.

In an ideal world would prefer a second bottle holder (MTB doesn’t have a bottle mount). On a hot ride, 5oo ml doesn’t cut it.

There are a few insurers now that are covering Covid, albeit the medical expenses/repatriation while on holiday rather than cancellation. If BMC can’t cover it, consider placing the cover else where.

I’ve had it more than once or twice. Often happens if I’m out bivvying when it can be accompanied by quite vivid, and scary, dreams.

Very much this for me too though Oddly, i’ve never analysed it/given it any thought until just now.

Did it a couple of weeks ago. Did procrastinate for about a year.

Used a rubber grommet to work out hole size.

This one in fact from CRC: shorturl.at/eDPR7

I’m not dead yet.

Got a pack of three grommet’s if you want one. Not the smallest hole.

Noice!! Reread at the end of last year and think the Mrs has a free 6 months Apple TV thingy somewhere.

Cheers OP, will give that a whirl.

Father in law has the Garmin one (road), been faultless the 12 months he’s had it.

Would describe his as a fair weather rider so it’s not had the hardest life but he puts a lot of miles in.
