Don’t know the fox pads but I’m on my third pair of 661 Kyle Straits which I really like

Thanks all, both of those areas look perfect.

Brilliant, thanks folks I’ll work my way through the suggestions

Phoned Orange who put me onto Fisher who are sending a warranty replacement.

Sorted.

Cheers both

Anyone?

Ta

Thanks chaps I’ll give those a try

Haha, that explains why after a very frustrating 15mins I had to cut mine off yesterday!

Thanks folks

Haha, ok so I’m not much of a mathematician but I liked the idea of working 4 days.

Oh well back to doing the lottery

Thanks, yeah I know you only pay over £42k ish but there must be a point where the 40% tax you pay makes it comparable with dropping a day and back down.

It may not work but someone mentioned it today and it got me thinking

General rules are whatever you think for time and cash, then times by three. Oh and you never sell it for more than the restoration costs so it’s got to be a labour of love rather than to make money.

Thanks, will do

Within 5 mins of riding the toe will peel up and you’ll realise why this will never catch on

ta, i’ll have a look at those

ive looked at the works headsets but they dont seem to do one for my 1-1/8 to 1-1/2 non intergrated hadtube, ive mailed them to enquire though.

Thanks folks, it is a holiday but it’s going to be pretty full on, I think I’ll keep up what I’ve been doing but rest after Wednesday

Thanks chaps, I’ll check that out

Ta very much

The car is a 55 and its always been the same so if there is any ‘softening’ then I’d say it was negligible.

I’ve spoken to VW today and while they don’t offer heavy duty springs themselves the chap advised that was the way to go and I’ve found some aftermarket ones for £40 each so I’m going down that route.

anyone?

i can’t find that seal to buy, anyone know the size?

thanks, i bought them s/h so it’s looks like new seals then

ta

thanks,

great pic, i’d love a gta though

here’s my new one

thanks, i’m no stranger to classics or alfa’s having also got a gtv but i do think any preventative work is a good idea.

I’ll give it a full service and replace all the filters and fluids then i might take it to a specialist for a look over.

thanks, for some reason just the alfa wheeler dealers clips have been removed from youtube?

well we went to Dalby and i’m glad we did, we did the red route which skill wise was good and plenty long enough, maybe too long in hindsight for a couple of the lads esp as it was roasting.

The two lads who’d only had there mountain bikes a fortnight loved it and can’t wait to go out again so i’d call it a success so time to introduce them to some proper peaks riding!

thanks, they’re not complete novices, stainburn sounds good plus its an hour closer to me!

Hadn’t thought of Gisburn, will look into that

thanks,

nice link john, i’ll get some of those

thanks guys, bottles it is then,

i like the sound of a secondary ferment, will that make it stronger?

ta, what about the pet bottle idea, any mileage in that?

don’t know those tyres but i’ve been today and it’s nice and dry, no rain forcast by the w/e either

stitch and superglue it then patch both sides, worked for me

thanks all, i’m watching a couple on ebay to see how much they go but new they seen to be about £400 and plus a new bike rack is getting quite pricey

I just wanted to know if people get on with them, especially for long journeys like to the south of france.

The load limit on the one ive looked at is 250kg which i’m sure will be fine. I don’t know about loading other than spreading it evenly??

And yes i’ll have to have a good carpark reversing practice session before i set off.

The hard top are alot more expensive than the others though

thankyou for the sensible replies 😆

much smaller, lighter, bigger volume and dare i say better… sorry!

I did ask if it was ok to take them out, not sure i’d want to give him a bribe but i suppose it may have helped?

no the bike hangs up by the front wheel so it must have happened when riding, no noticable loss of air though

here’s mine, he’s called Roaul

He did sell a lovely pair of leopard print pumps

yeah the lifts were free in Tignes last year, 5 euros for the card which you got back, oh and Pila is well worth the visit, about an hour and a halves drive into Italy and good to bag another country. Aosta is a really cool town with great food for apres riding.

There’s also a great all day ride from Col d’Iseran down to Bourg which is a must if you like that sort of thing, Trailaddiction call it heidi and it’s pretty obvious to find on the map
