b r, that’s exactly the set up we are going for

The main problem with an extension is that it will block out most of next doors light. Otherwise it would be a good idea

Cheers guys

my house is terraced so there would be no separate access for the annexe. We are fine that the access would be through our house. The plan was to use our gas, elec and water supply but have a separate boiler. Didnt realise about council tax. I thought that as it wasn’t a separate address it wouldnt change. Will look at that though. It will not be done as an extension though

I also have the pro carbon. I did a lot of searching and couldnt find anything else as good value.

However, Ribble bikes did come close

Yep!

prefer house but still like the occasional big trance night

heading to the xstatic festival at the end of june!

Cheers for the link to the mbuk subscription, I was going to buy the shorts anyway so now I have them cheaper and some loo reading material!

Moonsaballoon, I dont have any endura shorts but my other madison shorts fit me perfectly. I am a 34 waist and I wear a medium if that helps

Forgot about Cannock, been there a few times and have friends near by so will stop off there on the way back down.

Will look into kirroughtree though, and mabie

My baby!

That is one awesome kitty!

Oh, and I live in Portsmouth but would still do the calais route!

The journey time is about 5.5 hours from Portsmouth. I used to work on P&O ferries when they operated the route.

when we went to the alps we used the channel tunnel. It was so easy and fairly cheap if booked in advance. Once you factor in all the traffic getting on and off a ferry time wise the tunnel cant be beaten

Yep, and it was a brand new tyre. I’m gonna try with a compressor when I can get my hands on one. Can’t fault the tyre in use though

I used one on the front most of last summer and it was fine. Still gripped well. I’m like you and don’t really change my tyres so the baron’s stay on pretty much all the time

I love continue baron’s at this time of the year. Loads of grip and clear pretty well.

The black Chilli versions are expensive but wear well so pretty good value. If I could get them to inflate tubeless they would be perfect!

Cheers guys,

will be trying these in the morning. I will get the buggers to work!

Im going to try the inner tube trick and also ghetto comoressor tomorrow morning.

I have temporarily given up tonight and am enjoying a cold beer

Rim is sealed

definitely having a beer now though!

Just seen some vids on the ghetto route, I need to find some tubing but I think I will go for it

where did people get the tubing from, I’m thinking garden centre or b&q?

again, more of a Rugby fan, but I was born in Portsmouth so support them as my local club.

With their well documented fall from grace, I dislike pretty much everyone that was at the club prior to the fans buying it. Owners (whether they actually existed or not) managers and most of the players!!

I got mine from rose and it came with the inner cable only

as bigblackshed has said, only one type and it is multishift

2nd for Lego

if I don’t get the millenium falcon it’s gonna kick off in my house!

I have 5 of the little darlings and currently have 3 on the sofa with me now

couldn’t imagine the house without them

good choice!

+1 for Wotan’s

I had a set before and the remote adjustment was really good.

Forks were a little heavy though

Cheers for the review, I was thinking of taking along a couple of newbies so it sounds perfect

Okay…

Anything a little more constructive?

This is brilliant!

Brilliant, thanks

Don’t suppose you know about the rears?

A nice glass of red

Taking it easy as a longish road ride tomorrow

I’m also heading there next week and will be running single ply minions, I figure that I use them everywhere else in the uk so it can’t go too wrong!

I bought a challenge xtreme petrol one from argos this weekend and so far I’ve been impressed.

My garden was extremely overgrown and it got through it all with no fuss, best thing was that it was 69.99 which is the cheapest I could find.

It also feels very sturdy against the black and decker electric one it replaced

Raceface do chunky lock on grips

I have tiny girl hands so can’t coment on how good they are though!

Trek scratch?

Whole bikes can be had fairly cheaply

As the pinkster said

When I was into playing with cars I had a sealey one, I had a lowered fto with a body kit and it still got under the car fine

Brilliant,

Thanks for the replies, was about to try them out but it started hammering it down, typical!

Its a well known fact that if your wheels don’t match you will fall off more!

Another one here for spesh ladies saddles

Both mine and a mates other halves have them with no complaints

Cheers northwind, you have allayed my fears.

I decided to have another go and it seems ok at the mo

Thanks again!

Yep, like that a lot!

That has made my day!
