spent the full morning being dragged down steep trails by a wheelbarrow myself this morning, they can shift when they’re full.

Yes very clean, and for 8 quid you cant go wrong.
Had some bike specific cutters that were nowhere near as good as these

I use these, used them loads and still razor sharp.

@ bruneep :lol:

If we all say nowt their lifes would be easier, im in for making it as hard as possible to sell stolen bikes.

Thought it was taking a while :lol:

Was my thoughts too.

surely thats just a ramp for wheelchair access? :?

goes on real easy wet?

This stuff is pretty good.

Always a risk of water damage from flat above, my sister in law is always flooding her downstairs neighbour :roll:

Here you go, follow the set up guide on here.

I use marks and spencer but recieved a call from more than the other day,
was told by the guy on phone that they cover bikes up to 5k so maybe try them?

Aye get the credit card out! that alpine needs built

Bored already postie pat?
How did your op go yesterday?

Headset comes with correct race

These are pretty good too, also it comes with a split race if thats what you want.

Will come with race, mines not split.
mine seized in 3 months wet use so make sure you open the bearing seal and grease them, been ok since i did mine.
Need correct size for headtube ie one and eighth or one point five.

32 mm socket to fit oil seals.

take it by the hanger making it easier to work with. hammer a torx key in the worn allen bolt

Edit: aye as he said ^^^^^ :lol:

The heads on through pins dont get worn, making life easier on removal of the pins. Had my through pins a year now and they are great pedals, never touched them at all and still smooth

mine does it when engine is switched off but does cut out if running.

make sure the engine is running or you will get this happening

pleased to see the trailer getting some use graham, however how did you manage to talk the missus into dragging it around :lol:

Use this as it will depend on leverage of bike etc.

now with coil shock

Chances are the price was 150 quid and the rest is what the builder has added, try having word with the plumber?

pop them in the freezer before you put them in then push them in with 32mm socket

As warpcow says just replace whats in with what you now have, thats why the foam is narrower.
Did the same on some pikes, they now hold the 15ml oil better than they did

change your preferences, ie from mtb to road.

Here you go, better than the bike specific ones i had previously for half the price.

Check your qr-bolt is not bent anywhere, mates bike was doing this last week and when you close the lever it pulls the wheel over at one side

No worries and good luck!

use a hot air gun, prob take no more than 10 mins per sill at guess.
Keep heat away from glass using guns tools or the back of scraper or it will crack.
This is the best option tbh it means any old stain is gone and wont peel off over winter.
Hard to tell without seeing job but im guessing stripping the sills will be enough as its these that take the most abuse from the weather.

edit: avoid a gas burner if you dont know what your doing or you may need a new house :lol:

Wouldnt use wire brush, it will feather the grain on the wood making it hard work to get smooth.
For best results strip the sills, if cba to do that use filling knife-scraper to remove loose then sand with course paper, dust off and stain.

Dulux weathershield stain is really good as well if thats easier to get

My experience with sadolin has not been good at all, the stuff seems to wear through in weeks

surely this has got to be down to prep?

medium or high build is the coverage, if your windows are flaking that will be best as it will look more even across the bare bits.
I find sadolin is really good for this.
This is of course if its stain

If you peel a little back can you see any undercoat, if it’s paint and brown it will be a grey u/c.
Stain tends to be similar colour on the back.
Chances are if its paint it will be really thick.

edit: cant really tell by the shine as gloss paint will dull to a satin finish over time

your most important thing to know is what is already on really!
Is it paint or is it stain? try sticking with the same for over the top or you may find paint doesnt adhere to well on the stain, vice versa.
If it is paint dulux weathershield system is unbeatable (undercoat and gloss). If it is stain use sikkens or sadolin.

@monkeyboy try an open ended spanner then pop seals in freezer before fitting.
