Thudbuster……cause I am a wuss.

OMG – and to make it worse it looks like those brakes are zero effective – still at last you can see where the poor little blighter ended up in the bushes.

You should tape it off and cover it in ‘Condemned as a health and safety risk’ stickers.

The Wallace Collection is a delight

+1, and pleasant cafe.

I do like Tate Modern, you can wander over to see St Pauls over that bridge, and wander around SouthBank a bit.

Dad once drilled a 15mm hole (for plumbing) in floorboards in corner of room of house he was doing up, then same in ceiling of room below.

They didnt line up so he asked no.3 son (me) to climb up ally steps resting on wet concrete floor and poke big screwdriiver through hole to see where it came out above.

Cue big bang, heavily damaged screwdriver, wildly swearing son and blown ring main fuse.

He told me to calm down, I pointedly informed him that it was attempted involuntary manslaughter and never, ever, ever, ever helped him again.

…on Stickler surely the suspension allows the rider to stay seated, pedal more efficiently and make better progress. I had just assumed they all had piles.
When I broke my hardtail Stickler was actually faster on my downhill bike as I could stay seated for the whole trail and pedal through it all, very little fun though.

+1 and Seagull too

You cant replace it without special 2 prong tool to unscrew an internal fitting. 2pure will sort it for you

They are standard removable schrader inners – pinch one off a tube to test. 2pure sent me some spares……..however it wasnt my schrader, it was the top valve ‘o’ ring that was the culprit, quite common.

Thundbuster = Ass-Saver. I put one on my Bfe because I dont have the fitness to lift my derrier for every bump, and it does reduce the fatigue from the hammering of my back. Problem is I have almost stopped using my FS. Got mine 2nd user bargain on Gumtree of all places.

No one to sell his story for him?

Use some of your handy 5L tin of paint thinners. Doesn’t everyone have one?
Either that or maybe brake/carb/glasses cleaner
It will however stink the house out and make everyone mildly high.

You know how you can find out what bits your stereo is made of by smashing it into the groundwith a really big hammer? Its like that but with electrons and stuff.

Either use very very heavy hammer and donk it at a leisurely pace or take teeny tiny hammer (another particle) and hit it very very fast = same difference innit. Then see what pings off (ideally the higgs thingy).

s’why its called a particle accelerator, a collider and a detector. Simples, all done with magents, and stuff.

As easygirl’s on the thread, what powers are used to take food away from people?

Headline: Ilford Police arrested for hit and run petty larceny!

‘One of the accused told our reporter “They made me do it, I’m just a scapegoat, its the Chief Constable’s you should be arresting, stitched me up like a kipper he has and no mistake’

Ordered the 2 bars and 1 post in stock. Ordered some shorts too..

righob – cb, before I bother whats the bar weight like?

Dont worry, it comes to us all, it was about age 5 that each of mine finally managed to catch me out and disprove my ‘because daddy know everything’ proposition. But i’m still the ‘one who fixes things in this house’, and ‘more fun than mummy’, so happy days :D

I’m happy to name names – Evans do this, but in theircase they won’t send you the item or bother to refund you. Had to raise a paypal dispute against them. Paypal is yor friend :twisted:

Email me in profile if you want me to organise a chat to our instruments guys – why offshore? You want the rotation? Otherwise think project if prepared to go where the work is.

Building regs require 50 or 75 mm air gap, foam gives zero circulation and if open foam worked th BR would allow it with zero air gap. Breathabilty only works for membranes not thick layers

Borrowed a friends last year and it was fine. Everybody tends to get out of the way. This was 6.7 metres iirc.

Mpg’s were very low 20’s.

If we had the money spare, I’d have one myself.

I think mine is 6.7m and and not just country roads, I have had it through narrow medival french villages etc.

It is LHD which is counter-intuitive, means in the UK I can get over right to the last inch to squeeze by other traffic.

Biggest problem is actually that it is over 3M tall so you have to think in 3D – so overhanging trees and even sign posts, and that narrow/low brick railway arch quite near Cannock was an OMG moment. Handles like a canal barge, esp. in the draft from lorries.MPG is low 20’s if I am lucky.

I am selling mine now the little people are too big for the bunks, which is really sad because I absolutely love it.

I hate to pander to the highly spurious nature of the OP but……..not uncommonly I see blingy CK hubs on 317s – which is an internal WTF for me. Very expensive hubs on about the cheapest mavic rims available. Answers on a postcard please.

One of the joys of being a dad and having a new born is being able to loft them one handed, get a photo of that and get it out again when they are older, they are usually amazed by it.

Muke – cheers for that, I p****d myself

I gave up because a . I ride like a lunatic and b. because 4 wheels tin box mean it slides and protects me, instead of falling over and abandoning me to my fate. Reluctant to even ride a mtb on the road now. I love bikes but I love life better.

If you like engineering/machining take a look at the vid in this link…Worlds smallest v12

But its not an engine – it needs power to run! Took him 1200hrs ( 8hrs a day for average working yr is 2250hrs) – he ‘dedicated’ it to his grandkids, presumably to offset the guilt of not actually ever playing with them whilst indulging his OCD. I tried it with my wife – im off out riding for all my spare time for the next year, but i will dedicate it to you. She offered to dedicate the divorce to me in exchange.

So long and thanks for all the fish!

Absolutely be cool and don’t give anyone the satisfaction of letting them know you hate them / have the arse / didn’t like the job. Not the STW way of course.

All that and they are still in hospital. It REALLY kicks off when they come home, full on for the next 18 yrs. +. I loves it.

Swinley if you ain’t been there before.

There is a bar/club place off Guildford high st that has 2 sit down toilets facing each other in one cubicle in the women’s loos. Tis taking the girls go to the loo in pairs a bit far.

Second. The first was at the height of the housing boom and an untrained monkey could have sold that (got full asking as soon as the office opened on the Monday after it went on the market on Saturday afternoon)

In that case you let the untrained monkey undervalue your house. Houses that sell within hours and before viewing are the definition of a bargain(in most but not all cases)

Big mistake letting an estate agent negotiate for you, they are untrained unregulated and motivated by quick sale on fee structure that does not incentivise getting those last few k for you. Plus many are bent, and that’s not cliche its first hand knowledge.

Recruitment consultants are aggressive chancers, what kind of lawyer are you FFS, mtfu and fight, the answer is in what you told us the consultant has no valid claim if candidate told them they were already in contact. Tell your mate to inform consultant they no longer act for them.

Yes its a typical scam, no they arent likely to take it further and you may argue ucta etc but honestly if you have their uniform and just canned the dd ‘with a view’ to return it you prob. need to show a little more respect. If you ran a small business/club you’d soon be on here moaning about apathetic non paying customers.

If its anything like the ones I have seen put up, it will mostly be motionless.

That’s because seats on charters are a perishable commodity – once the plane’s taken off that’s it, all spare seats are dead money.

I think you’ll find empty seats on ANY plane is dead money.

In essence the price model for airlines used to be cheaper the closer the departure date but as a function of number of spare seats. Early booked seats also often had some degree of transfer.

Since low cost airlines, the business model changed to cheapest most-in-advance, but also rising as seats are taken up, and with very restricted transfer.

The way to get last minute cheap tickets is mostly from the ‘I can travel but don’t need to travel, and happy to go anywhere’ position – the way to get royally turned over is ‘I must travel to there, right now’!

Always take the bikes inside – most UK hotels let us keep them in a locked ‘conference room’ overnight. F1 I just took them in the room – 3 is max in an F1 so you will need 2 rooms no? I got 3 adult bikes in Dijon F1 fine. It was on an industrial estate and TBH seemed quite safe for stuff left covered up in the car.

Peel the stringy stuff off with a veg peeler turned me from hater to lover of the stuff, and the leaves are great salad additions

Buy arc and you’ll quickly wish you bought a mig, unless you are only welding tractors or bridges.
