    I was hoping for a new approach but I guess they know what people like

    People keep saying this, but what could they actually do? It’s a car show loosely based on cars. I thought they changed things up just fine.

    It was all pretty much seat-of-your-pants action with fantastic camera work, and the holy trinity each seemed relaxed and up for it.

    I’ve never seen a genuine celeb sign up to appear on a show and fake their own death. Fair play to them.

    Cheers.
    I downloaded a user manual yesterday, it’s ambiguous but does have a chart that seems to suggest that any length air shaft is compatible

    personally I wouldn’t walk about with something as big as these.

    I walk about immersed in my music, not worrying about what the sheep may be thinking. I’d also be chufffed to bits with the AKGs as a pressie

    yeah, greased flanges never fail to have my inner child sniggering.

    Nipple lubricant anyone?

    I look silly in general. Earphones add little to the effect.

    The next day delivery service on Prime has saved us on many occasions already.
    Add GT to the mix, its great value at £59.

    and following researching the online user manual today – Im fairly confident I can switch the travel on my Bluto to whatever I damn well choose.

    Bit gutted I missed out on a 110mm air shaft on the bay for <£16 now

    Remote versions were £54.99 a couple days ago.

    80mm. May convert to 100mm dependent on how front end feels when I’ve tried them out.

    Charlie the mongerer has them at £349 currently.

    Deffo strip the rims if you’re keen on riding Robocops bike.

    Rim strips, pick from orange purple yellow or green, preferably neon.

    If stripping my frame I’d jazz it up with a bit of blended in colour at the headtube/ST/BB area a bit like those tasty old Cannondale paint jobs

    Sounds like it’s been cleared up for you then. It’s the best worst car you’ll ever have.

    Potential to sound a smart arse here, but:

    simply a great mountain bike

    Yep, I/this thread has been saying just that for months :)

    sucked the chain across the chain stay and scratched it up pretty badly

    I mentioned this issue a while ago, it was the deciding factor on upgrading the cranks as I was only a couple of rides in and already enjoying the pro’s of the bike – for me, the stock cheesy soft chainring is rubbish, and the cranks weigh a ton. Well worth upgrading.

    ive decided to strip the frame

    This will give you an idea of what it’ll look like: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/201701733993

    I suspect Rick isn’t completely broken – I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s plotting a surprise coup of his own doing, but for whatever reason he needs his people to truly believe he’s broken in order to keep them safe for the time being.

    He’s given Negan the eye, and thought about taking him out with Lucille, but he’s holding back – waiting for the right time.

    Agree with fact they could’ve already won this war with sniper shot/RPG, but yes, it’s a fictional show so it needs the stories dragged out somewhat.

    I do yearn for more realism though. I’d love a series based on a scenario like Viggo Mortensen in The Road.
    Gritty downbeat post apocalyptic drama with Z’s. Perfick.

    Z Nation is waaay more believable

    He killed a Z with the end of a comb..

    do the 170mm spaced Raceface ride cranksets fit better than the actual 190 spaced ones?

    Raceface Aeffect – yes.
    Better Q factor and with room to spare on tyre clearance.

    Not sure about Raceface ride, but I’d be a little surprised if they differed

    Bluto’s ordered. Credit card smashed.

    Could use a spare crown race, anyone know if they are available for the standard Dune headset?

    I loved the look of these BITD. Even then there were reports of shoddy operation.

    Surely these are ripe for a bit of reverse engineering?
    Looks to be made up of around half a dozen fairly basic CNC’d shapes, plus a couple of smaller fiddly bits.

    Question: is it possible to fit an XD driver to these Dune rear hubs?

    I have never been less excited over a traditionally classic encounter. When England scored I didn’t even register a murmor of celebration. I think my England is well and truly broken.

    nice idea. I’ve been experimenting with backer rods and they’re a bitch to keep in place with tape/spray adhesive.

    May give next series a miss – its been milked too long now

    Thats what she said.
    I agree, its really stumbling along now – but i’ll continue to tune in because I’ve practically rinsed Now TV/Amazon Prime dry.

    I’d like to see more ‘ingenious’ plots – where characters get out of sticky situations using their finely honed skills (a la A-Team!). It’s become a bit too ‘side-step zombie – stab zombie in head – jog on’

    Definitely moving to the “the real danger is other people” side of the apocalypse.

    Also agree. And Negan has real promise there as the worst baddie yet.

    Yeah, it does look a bit like something Mint Sauce would ride (thats cool!). Have you ridden one?
    It’s been said a thousand times already, but the feeling of extra grip and sure-footedness paints an ear to ear grin on your face.

    Has become my sole MTB because it does real world riding so well – and simply.
    Unless you’re a full on air bandit wanting to launch of every lip then it just makes great sense as an off road tool.

    Erm, it’s just over $1K?

    Oh, I saw a price somewhere on the link way north of 2k and gave up.

    EDIT*
    Just redid the calc, frame/steel fork/headset/stem = $2,675

    I dig the paint jobs and provenance, if it was a disc frame and $1000 cheaper I’d probably be interested.
    As it stands it’s bordering on mentalist money.

    I’ve had a fat bike in the back of my swift no problem. Seats fold down easy. Much more cabin space in the swift than a fiesta too.

    Will probably source a set of OEM aero roof bars soon enough though as I have a couple of Thule racks. Roof bars are the way forward once you’ve used a set.
