    If your happy with your POC helmet, try one of the sweatbands/buff soloutions(cheapest option).

    I have an Oakley drt5 not the best vented,but the silicon gutter works really well,and get no sweat pouring into my eyes,Paired with a pair of Oakley turbine gigs never foggedup (have since lost them on trails, but I originally found them on local trail),so back to cheapo gigs.

    Got the same deal, going to give them a try tomorrow,, the fit and finish is good, prefer the fit over my fox ranger keks( not as WW 2 German officer style).appear to be more fitted but stretchy .Will be using 3/4 bibs underneath to keep the chill off,when having post ride pints

    Try sprouts every Christmas, still hate them, no matter how there cooked or prepared. Used to have a sprout catapult (should make a new one) the best thing you can do with them is fire them into oblivion.

    Also detest any shell fish, pumpkin and coffee flavoured food items

    Another thumbs up OP.As said buy a half decent adjustable re-chargeable vape, and good quality juice from somewhere reputable, and not a vape that emits plumes of steam, what a waste and you look like a rest burke, but not as bad as someone who smokes tabs.

    Cheers all, will not miss the working in the Winter, never minded climbing up Sticks, especialy on a rare cold sunny day, somewhere nice and scenic, and at least you were moving and keeping warm, its the hours spent,doubled over cable jointing,in ice cold mud and water, chating to the albino slugs next to your face😂.Ready for a change👍🏼

    ITS A RABBIT HOLE

    Depends on your riding, A dropper is a great addition, looks like its compatible for an internal routed dropper, will add weight but great for more demanding trails, or if your of an age just getting on and off easily ; ). Some carbon bars can be harsh/trail buzzy for not a lot of weight saving.Its not an overly heavy bike anyway.Tubeless tyres and set up are another good upgrade.

    Control points also ,some good grips, can be thicker or thiner depends on your hand size, and correct saddle width can keep you riding more distance in comfort and increase fun and fitness, and decent pedals to keep your feet planted on rougher stuff, paired with grippy shoes(or go clipped in).Also some weather appropriate clothing is quite useful.

    Yup had it other week, on the TPT , just pootlin down a long ,flat part.2 youngish women with many dogs talking, one of the women was facing me, and saw me coming over 100m away, and made eye contact and maintained it as I rode towards them, as i got closer,about 20m away I called out morning and the women with her back to me, acted like I’d shot her and started ranting, about its no cycling on here.And the other women chirped up backing her mate up.with you shouldn’t be riding up fast and sneaking up on people .

    If the copper internet connection at the site at present is fibre to the cab(fttc), you can simply change to a sogea service same thing but no normal dialing tone.this is a data only line, and the phone number for the site at present, can be used on a digital phone plugged into the modem.so no need for any copper connection to the telephone exchange.so it is an alternative to full fibre,and 4g/5g.

    The call centre is probably set up for sales so have a vested interest to sell full fibre.

    But as your post stated , if its low use and only used for bookings and admin stuff,4g/5g modem and have the land line diverted to a nominated mobile number, cheap and cheerfull.The deadline is a while away anyway(and will come and go as per)

    If they are using a fttc product now, the proposed exchange closure, will only affect the exchange generated analogue dial tone, sogea fttc doesnt use an analogue dt.Sogea products can just run from the fttc cabinet( lots do now) and the phone number is ported to be used as a voip service.
