I’d like like to acknowledge chrispo’s victory in the annual “Trolling knob of the year” competition, great work, it’s been settled on the first day.

I’ve been on the list since I had a stroke 11 years ago,my GPs know I’m retired,I get an appointment by text to a Saturday morning clinic every year.

My parents had me vaccinated for everything that they could. I’m now 66,and the only major infectious diseases I have had are mumps at age 5,and two goes at chickenpox. Not sure if I have any problems due to the mumps,but I have had two outbreaks of shingles as an adult, and I really wish there had been a vaccine available ,I found shingles very painful. My children have had every vaccination available on the NHS.

Not really, Julian, where is it?

When do we think the men in grey suits will be taking the ceremonial revolver to 10 Downing St ?

If you were using all the travel on the Pivot, you may well be doing more than just crosscountry, so your choice is more understandable, please accept my apologies.

Looking at the Focus site,the Thron2 looks more the thing,the fox suspension is very tunable.

Can I ask why you are buying an E-bike,sold as designed for enduro and downhil with 170mm of travel ? When do you expect to use this travel ?

Is your seat height lower than it used to be ? I got patellar tendinosis with this,3 months of decline squats before I was pain free.People occasionally tell me my saddle is too high,and look worried when I laugh.This is worth a read https://www.cyclingweekly.com/fitness/cycling-knee-pain-everything-you-need-to-know-329957 .

Now all we need is the banks to call in the Donald’s loans, as he no longer has security.

My shorts stop at the knees, after that they are longs or even trousers.

Troll keeps trolling, killfile is your friend.

If Palliative Care are involved, they will investigate what happened, identify causes, and institute a plan to prevent recurrence, usually involves updating the home’s staff as to correct procedure,and liaising with GPs and pharmacists to ensure local policies with regard to prescription and administration of controlled drugs is followed. If no direct harm has come to your relative , it is usually treated as a learning and supervision ,opportunity, not a witch hunt.

Will be eating Mrs Dingo’s signature roast aubergine slices topped with Bolognese sauce and cheese, drinking a very pleasant NZ sauvignon blanc, and not listening to anything, cos the grandson has just gone to bed, so watching the snooker on mute.

Basically, I’m 65, I’m trying to improve stamina ,rather than speed. I’m doing about 75 miles a week, mostly on the trans-pennine trail, with no technical riding at the minute (not much available locally),having had a small stroke 10 years ago, a serum cholesterol which reached double figures, and a cardiac angiogram showing narrowing of the cardiac arteries 7 years ago, I’m very wary about overdoing things. I’ve done Polarises and mountain bike orienteering in the past,but not for years, and I worry about overtraining causing more problems, so was pleased MHR was so high. Since I started riding again, my cholesterol and BP are within normal limits,so something is working.

It’s the first time I’ve done it, I was knackered and short of breath, but no chest pain etc. When I started on the flat bit at the top, my heart rate quickly dropped below 140.

I’ve got an SM pro in s/m, its too narrow for me, straight swap? lets swap pictures ?

jamj1974 “I think stating the forum “turned against him” is a bit extreme… It didn’t, really did it Cougar.

Also the rest of that message is just a little harsh. Intimating someone is a liar – as you did in your last sentence is out of order IMHO”

Pot calling kettle black post ?

Why not realign the house ?

Willard,they probably under-hopped it.It’s a lovely combination,but you need to put plenty in,and dry hop too.

Holy thread revival,Batman.As these are back in stock, does anyone know what the back sweep is,there’s not a lot of detail on the site.

Seosamh,that has sorted it out,but why these two sites?

I am asking because I looked at Sunrace cassettes first,they use an adapter for XD,which gets some stick in the reviews,and I don’t want to waste £150 on a cassette which doesn’t fit, so I’m looking for reassurance really.

Oh good,it’s got an axle that tightens into place,and holds it secure while riding,a DT Swiss RWS system, which tightens to 15nm,so I assume that’s OK.

I’ve put it back on and the wheel rotates ok, but the cassette just isn’t secured to the hub ,other than by the axle,it just seems wrong to me.I’m probably just too old now .

I think so,there is a circular thing that fell off too,it sits under the cassette and is part of the freewheel system.

You need a proper sling,I got one like this https://www.amazon.co.uk/HEALIFTY-Arm-Sling-Immobilizer-Dislocation/dp/B07F1DWTL6/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=shoulder+sling&qid=1593812124&sr=8-5 from Amazon,back on the bike after 4 weeks (flat paths only) and do the physio properly,I was 59 when I did mine.

Need more info re % water in dough,and kneading/folding technique.

4 weeks now.think I’ll try Paypal first,and just try for a refund.

I got the same email on Wednesday,and not heard anything else,I fear my £30 has gone forever.

Same here,I have to take my wheels off to store my bike,every time I put the rear wheel back in,I get my hands dirty making sure the chain is on the jockeys properly,or the noise is terrible,it also happens while riding along,seriously thinking about putting the Sram ones back on.

I use the wife’s hairdryer for putting on Tesa,isoprop first is a must.

I did the summer 2000 polaris at kildale,and met the gofar people then,not sure when I joined,but deffo prehack. Probs 2005 ish.

I may be,I like lime pickle on my bacon sarnies.

This may not be traditional,but a good mature Cheddar,on sourdough,with a smear of Patak’s aubergine pickle on.

I bought a gripshifter from them a couple of months ago,slight delay on delivery (2-3 days),but keen prices.I’ve just ordered some Ergon grips to go with the shifter.

My son had his sirocco serviced at the local Halfords garage during the week.

slowoldman,I thought they were

I like grey and orange too,so I bought one of these,no photos of my own yet
