As I haven’t got a compressor, how much to go tubeless.
I’ve heard difficult to seat tyres without that initial blast of air

I see through your scam, astro turf, no mowing, more bike building, more riding 😀

With stacking directly onto the damp floor won’t that encourage rot, surprised they haven’t left some “venting/ draft” point on the lower like on a charcoal burner oven

Sounds like a trip to A&e

Very local, very static pic of my nearest ride

First snow fall February

Nice to see the ages being posted on here, 47, always ridden hardtail. However with the ageing process lower back/ knees may consider full sus at some point in future.

But secretly would like to be fully hard core, 29er totally rigid and of course s/s!

Ta Da, thanks for the step by step instructions.

fantastically dry conditions at Delamere on Monday

Stopped for cake and tea mid ride yesterday at station cafe, forgotten lock so had to order from doorway, whats it coming too!!

In date passport 😀

Ingrowing, trapped hair I reckon which has just burst through.

Last year I went to local hospital with a bite on my shin, lower leg red/ yellow and tender stuck it for two days, saw Treage nurse then waited two hours, in the end I stopped passing doctor and asked if it was worth waiting anymore, quote “Am i going to die or leg drop off” he said no and I’m still here

I’d say from the photos supplied that “Matt outandabout” wins on the “des-res” front

Loving Andeh video, like so many local rides linking up good bits with the bad/ mediocre.
Been out this morning “tidying up” my local trails after the snow 😀

Oh less than two minutes from garage door to the trails

Dont knowwhere your coming from we always park at Hooton and take train, new museum of Liverpool Life super, Titanic exhibition on at Maritime museum at moment, did both on Saturday

One hell of a retaining wall that

Its the community spirit at times like this, or not!!!!!!!

Having helped clear the roads over the past two days here with a couple of neighbors, then there are those who just wait to drive out.

One guy was lucky to keep his wing mirror after Beeping at my wife 😈

Small village in North East Wales in the county of Denbighshire, farming originally based community now made up of commuters, oh and theres a trail center need by 😀

what a different approach, local council have been thinning trees in local country park started October ish, the trunks and thinner cords have been left lying in undergowth all this time.
Did the right thing and enquired about availability only to be told that they have used an outside contractor and the timber was part of the payment
only presume we have acash rich council so wardens volunteers not required 🙁

I take it that they grab the frame like a taper lock, 2 pinch bolts and a removal jacking bolt

Sadly filled various sized wheel bikes!!!

Bit of post from earlier in the week,Tuesday crispy and cold

Thanks sharkbait, had a look on Arbtalk, there’s a Stihl on there for £140ish,from “seddon direc” but wouldn’t mind looking at the secondhand version you mentioned

Entry model 12″ Stihl at Charlies in Deeside, Flintshire for £150ish, good price?

Parked the car at the Nova center Prestatyn and rode with my son to Colwyn Bay peir, hot chocolate stop and back along the coast cycle route

Also Ski

Glad we went for the multi fuel option, the rooms that cold your cats turned Blue 😀

Troutie
Stoves a tight fit, bet that wall gets a bit on the warm side.

Charnwood multi here how much wood are you guys getting through in a week, our stove lit every night

Multi fuel here Charnwood Country 6, unless you’ve got your own woodland then go the multi fuel way.
Burning a mix of house coal, smokeless and occasional wood. smokeless real bitch to light so always start with house coal

Oh and lit most days/ nights through colder weather

Loving the idea of the Monday debrief, takes me back to when in school when the teacher said “draw a picture of what you did at the weekend” 😀

Really love the quirky space frame but not sure about diamond, chain stays look like my Blue Pig’s
How much for those oversize tyres?

thanks will look them up now

On the pessimistic side, my wife works in a pension section, it is amazing how many best laid plans come apart due to ill health.
On the basis of this life about getting the right mix

Obviously trying to get rid of mortgage early as possible. but like most people on here hope to down size pocket the cash and enjoy life.

However with the number of people in temporary positions there could be a severe knock on as the housing markets shrinks as less people can buy but only rent.
Not my ideas one of these think tanks

Still £5600 /year at 4% ( I agree at the moment) x 2 gives £11648ish off the sum per year, not bad

Over payments? why do this when mortgage rate at 2.5% when cash ISA rates at 4%, which are “safe as houses”
Save separately and when the investment value grows to the reduced level of mortgage pay it off

A question for the STWers with investment properties if you have 100%, or there about, mortgage and you bought fairly recently and your charging £500/600 mth is it covering your costs bearing in mind house prices still appear to be falling!

Looks like a just get out and ride no fettling type of bike.
Any idea of price as yet from Transition

Got to have one

Bear in mind I’m the generation that fitted cow horn handlebars to their racers
Only ride hardtails anyway, yes I know I’m stuck in the past 😀

Coastkid, love the bike very Retrotech

Finished my 4 shifts, two days two nights, 12 hours.
Son of to school, wife of to work , dog walked, checking out STW then bed.
Out of intrest company thinking of three on/off and fixed breaks but will owe company hours any experience?

At 6’4″ and 20″ frame always have seat post on limit. Find the longest post only just do the job

How come my “man cave” has overspill from the house, old cooker, sofa, second freezer etc
No shadow boards in mine all tools locked away since break in

Have you noticed if the pelleted fuel has started to go up, supply and demand.
Very attractive grants for converting to renewables at the momment and with an aging oil boiler sounds attractive
