Nearly finished mine. 2.4m x 200mm x 100mm oak sleepers.
Before:



Just got the graveled area and new patio to go!!

Have you tried Sport Pursuit. Lots of Lake on there at the mo..
https://www.sportpursuit.com/search?s=Lake

Used them a couple of times for components and pricing was great, delivery in 3 days.

If you were closer I could have bead-blasted for you as I did mine on the work one..

Could you screw the red thing, that comes with a Reverb if you have one, between the new and old outers?

cheap, yet competent disc brakes have never been on winning bikes.
Not seen doing the rounds everyone gets a shot.

Wow! There’s going to be a lot of people selling their brakes to upgrade to ones that are winning and will stop you dying 🙄

M2 from Halfords. Running one on my hard tail and one on my daughter’s bike. Really impressed with them.

A lot of what I’ve sold lately has been to overseas buyers. Just use the global shipping and not had any issues at all.

Settings, Accounts & backup, Smart switch might do it for you.

Lots of garden projects going on..great stuff!
I made a raised bed with oak sleepers. God, they’re heavy!!!

So there’s 1kg off straight away with the forks!

I weighed everything I took off then everything that went back on and I got mine down from 11.3kg to 9.5kg :-)

Nope, nothing…it’s gone :-(

The good fight is pretty good if you like lawyer type stuff

This is what the one I did ended up like:


Rough spec:
Forks from Early Rider
Wheels off eBay (for Shimano cassette)
Sora/XT 9-speed
Avid brake levers
XTR v-brake & Clarks mechanical disc brake
Madison Trail saddle
BX bars, stem & seatpost from CRC
140mm Suntour cranks
Bashguard made by me

This is the one I did. Will adds couple of better pics tomorrow.

Nearly new bike day (for my daughter)

When I’m out with the girls I’m using my Liteville 601 with 180mm front, 190mm rear..some big kerbs around here

Gone for a pair of 5:10 Access shoes.
S1 stealth rubber but a bit more trainer-like so I can use them for walking.
£61 off Adidas with a 20% discount code.

We should inject ourselves with UV.

Or disinfectant, as suggested by Dr Trump:

Was looking at the Cross SL’s but not in my size

Mine showing as confirmed too

Good luck with that.

In your face PP ;-)

I’ll give them a miss then…

Thanks for the tips, I’ll start with my old running shoes until I find something.
Size 9-9.5 @benp1

would these work for you?

If I cut the end off my big toe.. ;-)

Galfer here..seem really good

We need a new tumble dryer…The excitement of browsing is off the scale! Condenser or heat pump?
Too many choices..

Looks a bit like the On One, maybe with a painted crown & dropouts?
I have the Exotic ones and it doesn’t look like them.

Q Acoustics speakers are worth a look. Very happy with mine and Richer Sounds do various price-points:

I like black bikes, so I like mine..

Ooh, nice one. Thanks

Spear & Jackson neverbend..on Amazon. Good price, great quality

In the garden, looking up at the Malvern Hills..
BBQ done, beers & Pimms being consumed..

You weren’t in Malvern were you? Heal fast..

If its 2 miles from you’re current home just go for your ‘one a day’ exercise walk to the beach.
Rules is rules, you’re just bending them to suit your own purposes.

Not in the garden but had a very impressive display from a peacock this afternoon..

This was this week’s highlight. A whole hour eating a starling.

I’ve been doing some digging for a new patio area and for the last 2 hours my 5yo has been collecting worms and the 7yo has been burying them in a new, safe* place.
The girls haven’t spotted the line of robins, blackbirds etc queuing up on the fence…

Maybe send them the ‘Gnarpoon’ design, see if they can make some t-shirts?
