    I did a lot of work Btw 2000 – 2006 refurbishing most of the cold war bunker ‘cities’ below every major city in UK. They are massive in some cases.

    More info please….what’s under Brum?

    Osprey Poco here …very well made, decent amount of storage, offers excellent support whilst fitting very comfortably.
    Also features a built-in deployable Sun shade ( even if slightly reminiscent of Jeremy Clarkson’s P45 electric car thing….)
    It will also freestand with the child in, which is useful.

    I always spec a 4pot up front with a 203mm rotor and a 2pot on a 160mm at the back. I find a lighter feeling brake on the back gives more control. The front is where the power is needed.
    I am talking Hope by the way can’t tolerate that nasty shimano stuff.

    So if your frame has a 56mm lower headtube then the standard Hope tapered HSTN headset is what u need.

    If you don’t require the top cap/Head doctor then it’s pick’n’mix cups 2 and E

    Or if you have a lapierre etc with a 55mm lower you need cups 2 and G.

    well I hope everyone is going to be rational in their irrational boycotting, not pander to the doe eyes of cute fluffy charismatic megafauna, and also boycott every supermarket for selling farmed salmon that has caused the slow miserable death of wild salmonids, stop buying phones, anyhting made of metal, all petrol-derived products, anything with palm oil, yada yada…

    The unnecessary physical abuse of the animals puts it in a different league to the above…regardless how fluffy n cute you may think they are..

    I’ve seen animals taken from tiny cages beaten ,legs snapped skin torn off the animal then discarded onto a pile of others writhing in pain waiting to die .
    some are lucky enough to be electrocuted or coshed beforehand but not much time is wasted on that.

    atleast the furr could be removed when dead I just don’t get it.

    This angora thing is quite pale in comparrison but still unnecessary.

    Why do they literally have to skin the wabbit alive?

    To take as much fur as possible whilst keeping the animal alive to grow more……

    The dog one is the worst I reckon that is actually skinning alive and apparently done as the skins are more easily removed when the flesh is warm….. If your squeamish do not search for that vid!

    The majority of Angora fur comes from Chinese farms, as China has no laws on animal cruelty the animals have most likely been treated as the videos show. some may have better conditions than others but how would you know…

    Angora can be harvested humanely so the On-One/PlanetX stuff could be acceptable but it’s unlikely unfortunately…

    Until stated otherwise Eff U On-one.

    Crack it open and give the laser lens a clean with something that won’t leave a residue. Also check the transport rails aren’t covered in muck.

    Cheers guys will give those a thorough read later.

    Stoner, you say £100 per meter…. A quick search finds 1m sections at half that, what am I not taking into account?

    Any idea if you can stream from an iPad with a WD TV live. How about iPlayer and 4OD?

    Yes, yes and yes. There are are also apps available for iPhone/pad android which enable them to be used as remote controls.

    Something like this (Kurust etc )will provide a good barrier to prevent rust. It has a milk-like consistency so easy to apply , tip it in plug your tube and swish it about … But as other have said it isnt really necessary ..

    The first ride I found that they did dive quite badly and it was a bit of a faff experimenting with air pressures and compression adjustments to get them to perform how I liked.

    When dialed in they IMO are the most linear feeling air fork I’ve ever used !

    EXM150’s here really nice fork in many ways. buttery smooth,surprisingly so make some Fox offerings feel like they’re made of wood! The controls are beautifully-machined and precise. Long service intervals and an easy job using no proprietary tools when you need to.
    These forks don’t flex either rock solid Revs feel noodley in comparison… Although saying that I did manage to detach the steerer from the crown! But this was sorted through warranty

    Yep caught this on facefook this morning…
    Right up my street and a breath of fresh air ! Good to see respect for the 26“ hardtail too.

    Thought about giving my Piglet the Ratlook for a while now, knew it would be long before we started seeing a fair few.

    If you can do without auto focus check Ebay for a Series E 50mm or 35mm – 1.8/4 from the 80’s these lenses have exactly the same extraordinary optics as today’s 50/1.8 AF-D.
    excellent build quality too with full metal body.

    Got mine for about £25

    Look at the Cowon range.

    But as others have mentioned getting what she asked for will prob be better appreciated even if it is an inferior device. Although you may have put up with dealing with the virus that is iTunes on her behalf too….

    The distributors have just last week announced a nice reduction.
    PM me if you’d like a good price.

    The ATs should be a good buy. Also check out AKG I’m very with mine, also like Shure headphones I use their earbud types too and an awesome sound quality and fit.

    Ahhh that is a shitter! But as been said it should pop out easy enough unlike if you had a modern Eurobox…

    My mate found a large dent in the nose cone of his ’61 Ghia and that’ll be Bitch to get out, so could be worse….

    Anyway your car looks cool as a penguins dick even with the dent, don’t get angry there’s no point maybe just say **** it and ratlook it 😀 win win…..

    If your budget doesn’t allow for proper brakes then fine,
    Are you the sort of person that says you have to have a bike above a particular price point to be classed as proper?

    No.

    Personally I’d put Shimano brakes alongside Tektro.
    But comparing Shimano to Hope’s! They’re a totally different class. The Hope’s make a mockery of the Shimano units.
    As said before any brake will lock a wheel up but that’s irrelevant it’s about the delivery, adjustability, serviceability, reliability, spares availability……….
    And the Hope sets win hands down plain to see.
    If your budget doesn’t allow for proper brakes then fine,
    Shimano offer a cheap alternative but somehow have managed to take the old adage “buy shite, buy twice” as a positive.
