My Golf R estate…

Yes righog, SINN UX…

“Mine will go to 3900 meters – beat that”
Mine will go to 5000 metres 😉

Just joined.

Had my Tado fitted for a couple of years and it’s worked perfectly. There have been a few updates to the app over the time I’ve had it and it just keeps improving.

On my second mk7 golf, had a GTD and 3 weeks ago picked up my R estate.
The electronic handbrake takes getting used to like the DSG but when you do both a fantastic imo.
Stop/Start on the other hand was a right pain in the manual GTD and was turned off at the start of every journey, on the my new car with DSG it is much better – there is also the option to disable it using VCDS.

Anyone heard anymore on the recall, my shock is affected and no news for over a week.

51mm offset Fox 36 here as well…

Had it just under a month now and very impressed.

We have Balterio Tradition Sapphire in our kitchen / conservatory and it’s proving to be very hard wearing, would definitely recommend it.

Switched FlowEnergy a year ago and saved £100 / month compared to BG.

Very nice, should get my Hightower frame this week, gone for an X2 aswell.

As others have said, now tv either their box or as I do via apple tv, entertainment package includes sky1, fox, discovery etc and is £6.99 a month – no 12 month contract.
Swapped about 2 years ago and would never go back to traditional Sky.

They’re now up…

stinkingdylan – I’m there again this year ( rude not to as I only live 2 miles down the road) but in a 10 man team this year to enjoy a bit more of the atmosphere between rides, you’re more than welcome to pitch up near us and someone can keep an eye on your bike / kit when you have a break.
PM me for my number if it’s of interest.

chrispo, undemanding fireroad (Doethie) sounds spot on for this outing, thank you

Great stuff, thank you all for taking the time, i knew you wouldn’t let me down.

Currently in the same position looking for a new jacket and the Gore power trail looks good and currently at 50% off at wiggle, only reservation is I’m unsure on how robust they are?

My SINN UX, they also do it with an all black ( PVD) BODY as opposed to just the crown.

Don’t quite know the best response for you “epicsteve” but seeing as you obviously don’t know me maybe you’d be better off keeping you sweeping statements to yourself.

Tado here, fitted it just over a year ago and it’s been excellent, as had been said above if you have the app on your phone if see when you are nearing hone and gets to your target temp, very good user interface on the app as well.

Cool, did you go for the double or single kit? can’t really see the point of the extra expense of the double unless I’m missing something.

Not very clever and as seems to be the case these days you end up filmed for the world to see your stupidity.

Another BMW / Ambulance scenario..

Burgtec stem and saddle and a Hope headset ordered for new hardtail build – £43 saved – happy!

Forget the degree they just need more staff, there’s always a queue waiting for coffee and they sometimes ‘forget’ you, did stop in one day last week whilst on a ride but went for a cold drink instead, very rarely bother going with the family Old Lodge or Lavender Bakehouse are better options.

Slut Wood to Bounce Horn

Burgtec! Penthouse flats are by far my favourite pedals, super grippy and long lasting running on both my bikes along with their stem and bar and my hardtail.

Kingdom have the 29er Vendetta Plus coming soon… http://www.kingdombike.com/TheKingdom/?p=2934

My younger brother, father and other family live in the Dordogne and Lot et Garonne, really beautiful part of France and we normally leave the boat in St Malo about 8.00 am and are down around Bergerac by about 2:30 pm with a short lunch stop for the kids, hundred of Gites in the area most with pools, this is a good place to start looking http://www.cheznous.com/ or i can see what they can offer up from friends.

Falmouth has all that you want and should be quieter late September, we have family in and around Falmouth and visited recently without the children and stayed here http://www.highcliffefalmouth.com
Plenty of sea swimming options with Gyllngvase or Maenporth beaches
http://www.falmouth.co.uk/see-and-do/beaches/gyllyngvase-beach
http://www.falmouth.co.uk/see-and-do/beaches/maenporth-beach
Plenty of restaurants to choose from, The Cove in Maenporth being a favourite.

Helps me! Was looking at alternatives to Shimano for my new build, one of these looks ideal.
Cheers.

Ditched Sky a while ago and bought a Humax Feesat box and subscribe to NOW TV entertainment via my Apple TV, means I can record normal freessat channels BBC etc.. on the Humax and have On demand functions but can also watch Sky one, Atlantic, Discovery, Fox etc.. via NOW TV For £6.99 per month with no annual subscriptions, work perfectly for me.

Anyone know who has stock of Easton ARC 30 650b in the UK?

Hardtail build will be underway soon, frame, forks and a few other parts have arrived, frame is Kingdom Vendetta 2, forks are DVO diamond. Will post more when everything is here.

Just been through this and ended up buying a Kingdom Vendetta 2 frame, just collecting all the parts ready for the build, other main contenders were Stanton and Canfield.

MRP do a carbon cover..
