Cheers for this , all ordered :)

I asked about the Trig frame on here only a week or so ago … Tempted now at that price for the whole bike

Had my £200 from octopus today :)

My rotors get covered in crap on the back of the car around here, rural with lots of mud on the roads, got myself some disposable shower caps, box of 100 for a few £ from amazon .. work a treat :)

1 Inch taller , 29 inside leg , ride mostly small sized , mtb, plus bike and fat bike, road bikes a 53cm (cube) or 46cm small giant , gravel bikes are 52cm , all fit fine with plenty of reach … try a longer stem if reach is an issue ?

Another vote for Kenco Columbian pods, americano Grande … haven’t used it since xmas, need to order more pods … usually a few boxes at a time from amazon , I enjoy them , step up from Nescafe :) … Lots of packaging waste though !! … foil wrapping, cardboard sleeves and then the plastic coffee pod !

I run Sensah srx pro 1×11 on my gravel freeranger, been on 6 months plus and been faultless … happy with it

Had my 71 plate Hyundai Kona hybrid serviced recently and the mpg has dropped a fair bit as well, it was serviced just before 8k and it showed a combined 54.8 mpg, its since done around the 1000 miles since service and I can barely get it above 49mpg , I’m guessing they’ve done a software update as nothing else has changed ?? but they didn’t say and the paperwork doesn’t show its had an update ?

It’s always been that easy, at least for the last 20 years.
Select picture, select the print picture menu, fill in options, send to printer.

Even my mum can manage to do it from her phone, once it’s connected the WiFi here.

cheers , didnt realise you could resize to photo size etc , so next question is , how do i get 2 x 7×5 on one sheet of paper before printing !

Anything reason for not just using the Windows printer dialogue?

simple answer is , I’ve no idea how to do it like that ! …was hoping for a few clicks here and there and then print the right size ! … Its possibly that easy for some ? :)

Have the Vitus 24+ for the grand daughter, shes loves it having out grown her 20 inch Cannondale Cujo :)

Still wearing shorts at work on the east coast of Yorkshire and I work outside , bit chilly today and blowing a gale , some good white tops out at sea …. still not cold enough for trousers as yet :)

Just sold the grand daughters Cannondale Cujo 20 inch , great little bike , shes now riding a Vitus 24+, as above .. look at the Vitus kids bikes , great spec and value

Very nice, just got the 7 year old grand daughter a new bike , she’s got very long legs ! … got her a Vitus 24+ , Bought through eBay from wiggles shop , it had 2 tiny paint chips and a missing front tyre ! .. saved a nice amount , all ready now for when she’s up here next :) …. Kids on bikes are ace

I’ve been running a xiaomi 8T for the last 18 months, no issues at all with android updates coming through etc and their own MIUI interface .. all updated … Do have a nice shiny Xiaomi note 10 pro sitting on my desk , but think the wife may have it as she loves taking pics and the camera on the 10 pro seems very good :)

Big Xiaomi fan here, didn’t really need a new phone but at that price , it had to be done :) … cheers for the link , phone ordered

I use one of these on the grand daughters vitus 24+, you can adjust to various size bottles, so she just carries a small pop bottle in it.

On a related topic, what the most number of speeds I can fit to a 135QR rear wheel? Currently 9 speed.

I run 11 speed on a 135 QR wheel , 11-46T , deore rear mech, no issues

Cheers for the above advise, did think about buying a new frame if I’m honest … as for the job .. yeah bit peeved, as wasn’t as advertised etc at interview .. but that’s another story!
Moneys sat to one side, so will send it back next week as don’t want anything like CCJ’s etc around my neck
cheers again

I was watching some Pennine bridleway videos last night funnily enough , and quite fancy giving it a go over maybe 4 or 5 days , looks bloody hard but also amazing , its on my to do list :)

Felt rough on Friday, felt like a good cold etc , didn’t think much about it, went into work Saturday feeling really rough

*slow clap from everyone you work with*

Really? After everything that’s happened over the last two years you get a stinking cold and your first action is to go into work with it?

Only because I was the only one on site … they run this place so understaffed its a joke ….
we only have a small team of 6 and it was my weekend to work etc !

I presume you had to go in because of something like shifts, or not being paid if not at work, or whatever….and instead potentially there’s other people now also getting ill and missing work, etc.

I don’t work shifts, but also don’t get sick pay … I’m still off work as feel utter crap still, Still showing as positive , work will have to wait as long as it takes … Found out earlier today another chap I work with is off as well with it but his symptoms are very different to mine ?
