Great  Joe  be good to see you again

Ha Ha   its an old Beam shot from about 10 years ago   way too bright to be useful on the trail .

This is an 8000 lumen bastard ugly light I used at this years puffer

no beam shots yet but was great fun on the 2 times I popped it onto full .  the rest of the time it was on very low .

power was from a Smudge 15 volt battery pack

if it does not look like this then it is not 8000 lupins

if they are the ones controled with a resistor. I did upgrage quite a few in the troutielights era .

they had the old Cree XRE leds which I replaced with XMl leds

the casing is wat too small to run the xmls at full power  but it was a good upgrade .

I never did any of the newer Ayups with level control . so cannot comment if they are multi level .

I do have quite a few Xml and other cree leds in the workshop so can have a look at them for you and hopefully upgrade them .

Well that was a great weekend and will go down in Puffer history for sure .
Our quad team of beer swilling , log burning villains managed 97 place and we are well happy with that result .
50 pints of home brew kept us on the trails and hydrated .

I was a bit confused about the riders who just shouted rider. Ok mr rider which fooking side do you want
So I just kept going until he decided to communicate his intentions or the line widened

The other nice guys I usually was out of there way before they needed to say anything .

thanks Deadlydarcy for your I’d and advice .
Pitch pine .
Certainly very hard wood and too good to just burn

Can’t get in my shed now so need to think what to do

lets see if this works

ok sanded a couple but now that photobucket has gone weird how do I post the pics on here .
underneath all the polish and crap they do look very nice .

DD yes at least 70 bags of ardex NA and 3 large tubs of epoxy DPM

Cheers Deadlydarcy just the man to answer my query
taken up in a primary school due to one area covered up with vynil and so swelling and tenting up .
will sand a few down and post piccy soon but may be a few days as now we got the problem of getting the floor sorted and the school opens again on monday .
so looks like I am working the weekend now .

Cheers Colin for the offer but am on the new fangled size now

get a dog
mine makes a bee line to the bad toes and licks it for a while
bugger me it improved in a few days and cleared up in a few weeks
He also keeps checking it out most evenings by pulling my socks off and having a good sniff around .

David the folks Rocketdog links to are total dicks and heading for a Darwin award .
legal emtb`s are the same as your bike well nearly , and one day you will be old and maybe have fubared knees but still want to ride the trails so thanks for the suggestion that I need to licence and insure my legal ebike .

dont use this thread as an ebike knocking tool but do use it as a dickhead illegal modding knocking thread

Where about in Yorkshire .

If near Skipton then I can help .

Floor layer for the last 43 years .

Forget Hardboard it’s shite.

Minimum 6 mm plywood to smooth out floorboards.
And of course there are good and bad cushion floorings available .

Do it once and do it right

Yep. If you want a weapon to intimidate or attack people in the UK or Ireland, get a dog.

right am off to mug and murder folks

Thanks Kbomb
hopes the mystery box in the wife’s car is one
can it replace the aeropress ?

back on topic
so some of you will have been to aldi and bought one of these
please tell me they make a good coffee as I suspect I have one coming from santa

Da va ju
Still enjoying my Pendle remap and being sole destroyer of the world

Get the biscuit tin out

And still getting 4 mpg more than before

if its just stuff then google
if its important then stw

yes but even if it did happen how long would it be before our glorious leaders let it happen here .

Just maybe the EU rules are a changing[/url]

I am with Whitestone. 16 c is plenty
Mrs Trout insists on both bedroom windows open at all at home time .
The colder the bedroom the happier she is .
I hate central heating and blame it for much of the health problems of the modern age .

Yes I am old and as a child had a weekly bath in a tin bath in front of the range
Ice on the inside of the windows was normal most winters .

By ek it was tough them days

The thoughts and prayers have been deployed so it’s all ok now

it was a day ride in 2015 last week in september done on the fat bikes
before ebike .
was a big day out for sure and the bloody pub was shut too

this is a cracking ride Jason
35 miles and 5500 ft up and down

and great campsite http://www.graigwen.co.uk

Being in the flooring trade I have found vynil floorings make stuff slide about in the back of the van
So I use Flotex sheet
It’s waterproof. And won’t rot
It’s carpet that acts like vynil
You can wash it. Scrub it and normal mud. Dries and can be vacuumed off it .
And very easy to cut and glue down

Ha Ha Ring ding

Ok thanks. I have just ordered a bigger cassette and need to lengthen my chain which has only done about 50 clean miles
So quick links it is then .

It certainly did not rain at the top of section 3 until the event had finished
I should know as was there all day
Then it chucked down a shower as we took the tape down

f you had any sort of legal basis for your position, you should have just gone down the legal route in a professional manner.

Come on Mattyfez. If that had happened this thread would only be 1 page long
And as I have been bed bound with back trouble. It has kept me off dreadful daytime tv

Just needs some more bonkers posts from Ling. As getting too serious I hope she stays about after this thread

beer brewer here and had a go at turbo cider
Have a look here for info

These E bike threads never fail to throw up the haters. And the users then feel they have to justify their usage .
Which is bollocks they are legal and here so get used to them .

The Trails , Bridleways , trail centres , rights of ways. Were I thought for everybody to enjoy be they purist human powered riders. Or legal Pedalec bikes And there will be dicks in the whole spectrum of the outdoor enjoyers .

My own justification of owning a fitness compensator is
I am nearly 63 have been riding mountain bikes since they came on the scene. And before that made my own off-road bikes .
While 42 years of fitting floors and riding bikes have taken its toll on my knees I can still do decent rides on the anologue bike but when I go out with my normal group who range from 30 up to 63 the E bike means I can keep up with them and still have fun .like last Sunday we did 41 miles of the pennine bridleway with 5008 feet of climbing which on the normal bike would have meant I was wrecked for days after but with the E bike I was good for work on Monday .
And no one was inconvenienced on ups or downs

And a week ago we were doing Gisburn and shock horror saw a Youth on a spec ebike doing the Hopeline and having heaps of fun and from what we saw no one could catch him going down for sure .

Just maybe some folks need to chill out a bit you will be old one day and I am not hanging my pedals up just yet

need to play my 45`s if they have survived 45 years in the loft
what turntable for the computer ??

dont hold your breath waiting for Pace

Yes I am bitter

I got mine welded and sold it to some one off here to make a pub bike

I used to love pace stuff too and still have my eye on the RC200 I sold to my ex boss to buy back when he cant ride it any more

have you tried the zip tie round the lever overnight trick

Thanks Guys some good stuff to study tonight

Scotroutes Thanks will pop you an email and hopefully blag some good routes off you

don’t talk just kiss’ lol!

Ha ha Yes I did cringe when it came on

yep that was me having an easier days marshaling after being made redundant from start of 4

Interesting but great weekend but standing all day for 2 days is incredibley tiring so slept for the last 12 hours .

A big high five for the heros who stayed and braved the swamps I saw you all twice once clean and them a tad muddy While I played some toons and a little dad dancing on the road .

all the guys who sacked it off I can understand but you missed a cracking day
99% of the guys n Gals had huge grins behing the mud face packs your skin will be so soft this morning Ha Ha .

:D
