    Bungalastic. Is that on a gpx for a garmin please.

    I read that the boorowdale bash is pretty. Tame. But I suppose 20 miles for a group will be ok. So we’re not dead on our feet afterwards for the pub

    Prob the three turners I’ve owned. My 5 spot went all over Europe.
    My burner bettered that. (Sold last week)

    So my new turner flux surpasses those two. Climbs like a mountain goat. Great for all round riding. Superb at ardrock the other week.

    Stihl Viking. Mower. 18inch cut blade. I use them on my gardening rounds. Superb for the money. Light to pick up also. Picks up grass in the wet very well

    I’ve just put fox 34 2017 on my new build. Very nice forks. Plenty of noticeable adjustments also.
    They’ve had a hammering doing ladybower loop and the beast today

    I have Velta/upanor wet system. Superb investment. I have mine under York stone flags, which act as massive storage slabs. The heat output is lovely.
    I dug down the appropriate depth. Layed DPC then concreted over that. Kingspan type insulation on top then pipe work layed into four zones coving all downstairs in my house. Liquid screed to cover pipes. Then I relayed the York stone flags using a solid bed of sand and cement.( do not spot lay, as the heat cannot transfer through stone)
    Cleaned and sealed my flags with LTP mattstone (superb sealant).
    Enjoyed it since. Especially the cat

    I have the force 1 slate. In the black, I ride it in the hills around huddersfield,/ Peak District area, it’s great fun in fast woodland, i put a shorter stem on mine. 80mm, replacing the 100mm one and went tubeless with the G one tyres. I only use it for a couple hour blasts really, that’s all I wanted it for. Specialized do a drop bar called the hover which has a slight rise in it which I may get to aid in the neck comfort.
    overall. A great purchase. Yet to see another one out n about

    I have the slate force 1 in black. I love playing out on it. I only go out two hours or so at a time. Great for thrashing around in local woods/ roads/ track etc. I have a large. 6ft tall. I now run schwalbe G-one tyres. And a shorter stem. 80mm

    Well I’m going to test ride a pinion gear box bike at the weekend, but I like the idea of it. I’m sick of wrecking deraillers and chains in this Yorkshire grit n slop. Only an oil change every year seems fine with me,
    I will hold judgment until I’ve tested,

    I’ve got one. It’s not bad. I find that it works loose quite a lot on the hips. Camelbak do a slightly smaller one that I’m considering

    Agree with above poster. But could they not create a raised platform area over the worst areas at the top. Even get the’ nair do wells ‘ doing it on community service, paying back to society and gaining skills for potential work/jobs later.

    This should throw the moggys amongst the pigeons.

    Austria. The solden area of the otzal valley. Same area that the bond film spectre was filmed. Some superb trails and not having your pants pulled down for a beer helps, like morzine when I last went

    Sorry. I never read that you don’t have. Gas. Sorry. One is the wet u floor heating. Never mind

    Mine is superb. Fitted by velta in Huddersfield which were recently bought out by upanor. Mine is the entire ground floor. Under York stone flags in kitchen/orangery. Carpet in living room. It’s set out into four zones so you can play about with the comfort settings. Underlay for the carpet is a specific one to underfloor heating. A certain tog rating, I can’t remember precisely which one. Works very efficiently, and only require mine to be set at 19 degrees.
    You do need to remove a lot of floor substrate to get the depth for insulation, and screed plus your final floor finish.
    Obviously York stone flags are very thick so take that into consideration if that’s an option.

    Why can they not build a large boardwalk to bridge that top bog area, it would retain the flow of the trail, plus allowing the moorland peat bogs find there own natural repair/way.
    Tend to agree with last post, the folk on community service could be put to work building it, paying back whilst learning skills.

    Hey. I have a burner in size large. It’s perfect fit. Having also ridden the czar carbon in large.
    I would say large is spot on. I’m 6ft tall. Dw link works well.

    I second coddys farm at cartworth just above Holmfirth. Had breakfast there just this morning.
    Also you may be able to catch a concert at the picturedrome in Holmfirth. Holmfirth is a decent night out at weekends, and good food.
    Hope it helps

    The race matrix ones don’t last anywhere near as long as sintered pads. Not to mention the howling noise

    I have two pigmy goats. We had a huge amount of brambles in their field. They ate the lot in about two weeks. The brambles have never returned since. They just don’t eat fresh nettles, but scoff them once cut down and dried.

    Obviously the big wheels will roll well. But wanted to know the benefits from and old 5 spot
