If you do look at a 29er check out my ad 🙂

They’re great forks for the cost conscious. Got a pair of the 29er 2016 black ones currently set to 140mm (with gold stantions). Stuff, adjustable and not overly heavy. Seem really well made. Just about to list them if anyone is interested as going back to the fat bike. Had about 10hrs use

If you use google services (email, clanedar, android etc) then you would be better off with a google home. Its a better smart assistant as well.

Apart from the fact they don’t really work very well with them. Can’t set a reminder, fails to ‘authorise’ your voice to read your calender, and doesn’t seem to want cast Spotify playlists (but will happily cast Google products)

Edit – well in my experience, and i’m a google fan boi

Thanks all. Looks like something at £30 or less is perfectly possible. I’ll have this thread loaded while I have a wonder round the shops.

Shopping online is only out due to my lack of organisation…..need to get it tomorrow 🙂

Last time I saw him buy whisky it was Balvenie, but not sure that was a particular preference.

I appreciate that a good tasting whisky is very much a personal thing, but thought i’d best try and get something that is well regarded rather than picking by what the bottle looks like 🙂

@Slowster –

3mm or 4mm of expanded PE foam,

Solid PE is used for the core, not expanded foam

@oldnpastit –

Apparently that cladding is banned in the UK on buildings over 18m high.

I’d be interested to see what document bans it. Doc B mentions insulation and filler materials, so it may come down to interpretation of whether the cladding panels themselves count as either of these items. Some in the industry would argue that they don’t, however BCA and CWCT guidelines recommend against its use

@pjm84 –

Its also encapsulated by the aluminium or zinc facings.

Except at the edges of the panel where the core is fully exposed

Lots of confusion in this thread on what is insulation and what is cladding.

ACM does not attempt to provide any insulation properties. The PE core is a structural part of the panel and at 3mm thick is not designed to provide any insulation.

The insulation properties of the wall construction will be provided by the insulation product used behind the cladding and ventilated cavity.

A class 0 rating refers to the speed at which a flame spreads across the surface of the product and isn’t related to how combustible it is. In the case of ACM, this will be how fast a flame spreads across the surface of the pvdf coated aluminium external skin of the material, not whether the core material itself will burn.

Approved doc B places limitations on the combustibility of insulation and filler materials used in external wall constructions when a building has a habitable floor level of more than 18m above external floor level (unless another route to compliance has been sought).

Oh yeah, appears to have massive tyre clearance too! Geax Goma 2.4 in the picture above with loads of clearance

Got mine second hand recently and really enjoying it. Disclaimer…I don’t ride large mountains as standard, but it rides really nice for what I do.

Seems nicely put together, with neat welds and a nice colour! Currently running 140mm forks with no adverse effects

Slackman, hi 5 on the bike choice!

No pics but pump and jump course on whinlatter. Superb day until I went out the back door doing a wheelie and pulverized my buttocks. Might need hoisting out of bed in the morning!

Cheers buddy. Paired the collection down from a Stumpjumper FSR 29 and fat bike to just the Payoff. Enjoying riding it. Been a while since i’ve been on a steel hardtail……was what I rode when I first got in to MTB.

Quick ride this afternoon in the woods

500,000 miles is a lot on a chain and ring!

Just Google Play for a new launcher. I use Nova which is very customisable.

I’ve got some 24×4 tubes (new) for sale if you want to try split tube

Thanks Vegas. Have to say it seems really nicely detailed and has loads of clearance at the rear

Not new, but new to me

And yet 20eggs worked for me

There’s a lovely Stumpjumper in the classifieds……Ahem 🙂

Coheed and Cambria, supported by Glassjaw. Tres excellent

Just got me one of these.

Ebay has some unlocked ones (which is what i’ve got). Seems pretty good, decent screen, (close to) vanilla android, fast charging, SD card, NFC.

Seems good to me after a few weeks use. Bought it as my Xiaomi has randomly stopped charging after 6 months

German company funding a predominantly British based and developed team ( IIRC, the PU’s are Ilmor?)

PU’s are from Mercedes AMG HPP. Used to be Ilmor, but now a Mercedes company that do other development work for Mercedes.

Legend! Just disconnected the new router I bought and set up last night, reconnected the HomeHub 5 and disconnected the CC audios we have…..

all working again!

You could try a Xiaomi Mi4 (as they are a 5inch phone, but not Android 6), or for a little bit more than budget a Mi5

I’m also using a Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 (the ‘pro’ version with 3gb ram). Although doesn’t fit into the 5″ or under, might suit on the love of iOS thing as the stock software (Miui) is designed to replicate iOS (just icons on home screens, no app drawer etc). Benefit with Android is that you can just change the launcher and it can look totally different if you want it to.

Did you tell him you wanted them evening up?

Lake Tahoe, Lake Tahoe 🙂

Canoeing, MTB, hiking, mountains, lake, amazing scenery

Pop bottle suggestion received loud and clear 🙂

Daffy, where did you get one printed for £5?

I also ‘think’ the tube is for crud prevention only, but then i’m not sure what stops you cranking the crank bolt down and crushing/squeezing the bearings

Ok, on second looking it appears to be possibly an HP only thing. Still useful if you have an HP

I only did it to prove a point to the missus that I couldn’t print from my Chromebook….was happy enough that it worked that I wasn’t fussed with being wrong in front of the wife 🙂

Ermmmm…..I thought the same until a week ago.

Plugged in to the 8 year old HP usb printer upstairs……

Looks like you’ve plugged a printer in……….

Click here to find an extension for that…….

HP print service downloads and BOOM, can now print from my printer (no cloud print gubbins required)

It is, but at least it shows that tapered is possible!

Well this Wazoo[/url] is running a Bluto

Ah, so blutoable! Or at least not like to straight steerer forks only.

Any ideas on max tyre size? 4 inch or maybe larger with a 1×10 setup?

Anyone know how big a tyre can be fitted to the Wazoo? Thinking it might be good but but would prefer the option of something bigger than 4″ if fancy it

Anyone know the maximum tyre width the Wazoo will take? I’m tempted by either a Wazoo or Dune. Would probably prefer the Dune due to 5″ tyre capability, and tapered head tube. In reality, i’ll never fit a Bluto, so tapered might not be a deal breaker, so the Wazoo price is tempting me.

Always thought that you weren’t allowed to improve a sectors time if there was a yellow I’m it?
