I dont think any skinny tyred bike will be gentle on your back or crouching over on drops

only 2 weeks ago I took a keg of this blast from the past to Bavaria and my German friends loved it though not a session beer

Only one Naga Wuss

I have just today brewed a Cascade and Citra ale as heard they are a pairing made in heaven all late hop additions

Bumping as the weekend is a bad time to ask on here

Cheers John Hunt Base looks promising

which are the bestest rides in the peaks between 30 and 60 KMs

We stayed here last year in St Lary Soulan

Nice place to stay

Join up on a forum like jims beer kit forum [/url]
and ask if there is any one in your area where you can watch a brew being done
chances are the guy who says yes will help you out
if you are near Skipton then I am happy to oblige

Good news Flap-jack I was wondering as my vans 10 in march so I will still be able to get the cover next time .

was a biking trip Sorry if it upsets you will try harder next time

It was £500 limit on that part

Yes Stu medium fatty with 100 mm Blutos
love it

I am just back from a weeks riding in the Allgau region of Baveria
with 3 fattys and 6 mtbs

we did over 20,000 feet of climbing on all types of terrain plus the descending on the same

I think we had just as much fun on the Fat bikes as the others on the skinny tyred mtb`s

My last order arrived 3 days before I ordered it

Solution without a problem

10 hours is too long imho and not fair on the dog

Looking forward to getting my P back when the paperworks done
so my aging original Ipad can use the site easier

Showing in stock here in Germany

truvative Howitzer

Ha Ha love it but no badgers are coming on the trip
however the guy who`s birthday has a nickname the Alien

Looking forward to Eddies posts later

Decided on a Belkin so nipped down to Halfrauds but the one I wanted was sold out so came away with a halfords own make for £6
thanks for the replies

Get an apple tv and your can see all that stuff on the big screen plus lots more

you don’t need protected, in fact better with none protect 3400 mah from Torchy via UKVapes £16.99 for x2. Then simply charge with a nitecore V4.

Unprotected don’t just cutoff, but fade over time so best for night riding.

Yes but if you let those batteries fade a little too much they will not recharge Lithium ions dont like to get totally empty

On yer head one of these

What has happened to the road rule of keep left
Not on a towpath it seems you have to use special senses to work out where the Sheep like Pedestrians will go even when they have seen you 500 yards away .

I was also following a lady on a bike the other day and she knew I was behind but carried on in the middle of the path I waited for a grassy bit to open up and passed her to which she said dont you have a bell
I guess if i had tinkled she would have sided up

Have just bought a bell so we will see if it makes like easier

Frame bag smaller ones are available

Surly if they added more pipes to the downhill side they only need to get the water flowing for the syphon to take over and a quiet 24 hour drainage to happen and save loads of fuel

On the pc with a big screen no issues with adds you can look at the bits you want to
but on mobile ( phone or Ipad/tablet ) the adds take over and keep appearing even though I dont want to Vape or buy clothes
and the close add x is hard to hit every time which means the add opens
even had an add with no close x anywhere on screen

Seems like the mobile add makers are getting more aggressive

That is going to cause some serious erosion when they start pumping
or maybe they will connect up more pipes down to the stream even so you do need permissions to discharge into a water course

I hope this is joke, because if it’s not it’s absolute bollocks.

No its not certainly in the CleckHuddersFax area where there are a gazzillion steath speed cameras I have been driving through here all week and cruising along at the speed limit only to have driving gods Flashing me / trying to pass at every blind bend / passing at said blind bends / generally being pillocks

I dont mind the adds on my home puter with fast BB
but this is what my Ipad and Iphone gets at random visits

I just got An Ocelot from Wildcat [/url]
Bit dear but incredible good quality

Yes I agree but know not a lot about Dynos and leds
Rob Dean has done extensive dyno light testing and the magic is in the driver and control circuits plus stand light capability .
something I was going to look into but never did .

Carlos Yes can supply both bits no problem

The Vision 2 upgrade is a peach and Hope missed out on a cracking little light they could have just made it better for nearly zero tooling costs when the XML leds arrived on the scene .

But the upgrade parts for me cost £35 inc return postage I also had 2 hours work per light as some machining and heatsink parts I had to make
bumping the cost up to £70
which is now 2 or 3 new light systems in the throw away world we live in.
I have done over 400 Hopes and only had 3 back for remedial work and that was due to fatigued cables which has been a Hope fault for ever .

Certainly Knowing what top quality parts go into a light costs and also what it would cost from China to do a clone of that light the playing field is somewhat tilted against a UK manufacturer and I never wanted to be a reseller of chinese stuff as the buzz for me was the research and developing a cutting edge light for the dark riding .

There are a few led improvements mainly now in power consumption not lupins but no big jump so I can not be 1 or 2 jumps ahead of the main players who must be finding it a dwindling market now .

Cheers Junkyard you must have the oldest Trout light ever if its still going .

just sent email Stevemorg

Aww got a rosey glow on now
Stumpy was correct I am still tinkering just not full blown selling .

Yes can do a few self build kits if anyone is interested got a fair few Dominator / Mini / and Liberator housings left as well as lots of leds
and some driver boards

No Spidereyes left

Carlos which bits do you need for the lib all the clamp or just the plastic half.

If there is interest I will build up the remaining Liberators

Yes will keep some bits for backup services

Stevemorg My mails must be going astray as have tried replying on numerous occasions

Fourbanger Not sure if I saw your mail re a one off yes am interested

Steve What bits are you after ??

Bigdean will need to have a rummage to see if I have the bits for a hope vision should have .

Yes have hung up the soldering iron sadly the chinese stuff finally ground me down .
when a driver board cost me $35 and folks were buying lightsets for not much more it became impossible

Riding the bike alot more but will need to build some lights for me this winter .

I did think about selling off some leftover housings and leds as kits for the tinkerers out there but even the cost of those would be more than a light set and probably involve hasstle for me

Cheers Tony. I must get down there one day for a bit of Jedi magic

from a well respected brewing guru called Aleman

water treatment

Cool Video
http://www.pinkbike.com/video/374420/

If you want consistent results without the faff of water chemistry then get some Gypsom and use the Tesco Ashbeck water only about £1 for 5 litres
and add some gypsom to the mash and some to the boil
1 teaspoonful in each for a 23 litre batch so you should be able to down scale
no worries about the chlorine either

And looking forward to work tomorrow as doing some flooring at the Saltaire Brewery :D

When you do persuade the missus.
make sure you get the tailgate version. invaluable for sheltering under when cooking on that rainy campsite.
