    the amount you are having to pay for some of the shit that is out there i think i want it to look good as well as ride good.
    i find everyone seems to want to put as many clashing colours as they can CUBE being one they may be good but it is not coming through my door.
    if you are paying for carbon why not show it off it looks great with not paint on it nice and raw thats what i want but nolonger avilable.

    if your pressure is getting worse from your hose then possible supply problems
    if you at the end of a row of 4 you could be on a link main, 1 stopcock in street turns all the houses off. not going to help as everyone will cause your pressure to drop
    before doing anything give the waterboard a call and get them to come out and check if your on a link supply see if you can get off it

    my only advice is all ways go surface mounted if possible much easier to change if giving problems at a later date. unless full access to pipework and valve is possible from the rear.

    naked with your girls is not a problem its the other males that are within that area who you do not know i would think more about

    never had major problems with hope and always choose their stuff as a first choice. i did find all the niggles i have with my bikes mainly stopped after I stopped leaving them in a damp environment sheds ect and started storing them in a dry damp free building. i know this is not an option for many people but if you can it does help.

    larger companies are trawling the social media looking and use may different ways, your name being one and if using a works pc then its possible they know your passwords and all sites you are visiting and any other user names this may never be an issue till someone makes a complaint then 1 press of a button and all your history is clear to see.
    i have a works phone/pda and they are very open with if you do not want us to know do not use this phone and it is scary the software avilable for them to use, they can remotely see my key stokes so if i say i did not do that the can play them back. scary on one had but also got me out of a few holes when accused of something i never did
    moral of the story is never write anything on the internet you do not want someone to see as once sent it will be seen by everyone

    narrow tyres, quick release wheels,internal rear hub and narrow bars thats a death trap.
    you need a proper fatbiike 1×11 bolt through hubs..

    i like using hopefoating rotors but have found issues with rubbing forkleg,only get out for me and safty is non floating or a different hub to allow for the spacing
    it is a pain in the arse when all your nice expensive shinny do not play together but cheaper shonky does ( and i love expensive shinny kit).

    the problem tom is your opening. you got wrong third party info, hope site has it all. when things started to go wrong you should have stopped at that point and asked for help which people would have freely given.
    but you then went on to say that you took the fred flintstone approach to a highly machined piece of equipment. this is a red rag to many people on here and is a part of the forum
    remember right tools right information and always ask before then people are much more willing to help
    worse thing to do is now go defensive as it is help you need not a war of words
    lets hope the damage you have done has no further impact on the hub and you get it all back together.

    the problem is going to get worse
    with city link going to the wall it would seem the bleeting from the post office that there is no profit to be made may be true this may cause the industry to start putting up prices, this means that to get free pandp you have to spend more.
    no such thing as a free ride some one is paying for it
    never had a problem with citylink
    yodal cannot handle the amount of volume of stuff it gets so poor service is given, charging to cheap paying peanuts ends up you dont get your parcel and when you do its been kicked around

    the driving test gets harder and harder to pass yet the level of idiots gets worse.

    br how will that help. he got a ticket, time pasted before the tow truck came so he was not there for a quick 5 min we need to see the timeline. so let him off then you will have to do it for everyone. if you cannot pay the fine don’t commit the crime. hes a knob and now he is going to pay, he may also find himself getting costs from the towing company for the time the truck is held up.

    i do not wish to sound rude but i hope you have a lot of fire protection at your disposal. biggest cause of fire is over loading supplies everything from bakerlite fuses reduced to a double socket is a ticking timebomb. see it most days people do not see the problems until the fire brigade are bashing down the door

    i went with a carbon beargrease and so is a little lighter than most. its about what you like 26-29 or fat you take it or leave it. my 29er hardly comes out now just ride the ridged fat. i get more smiles for miles on it now just need some tubeless carbon rims. and i dont want you all liking them as i like being the odd fella out on my ride.

    if you still want x2 or x3 then this will allow you to mount a front mech unless the frame is purpose made for single chain ring.
    im running xx1 and cannot fault it the range and spread of gears is great, even for that road ride to the trails
