let me have your email address and i can send you a link to where they are hugely discounted atm.

my email address is in my profile.

So how does the BB height on the Bfe compare to other frames that will take 140mm Forks or even 160 ie. NS Surfe, Alpitude, Dialled Alpine, Production Privée Shan to Name a few?

Oh….? Highly recommended by bike radar.

I was thinking of running them tubeless..

^^ do people still use these?

Not possessing an eletric planer and having just made a straight-edge guide for my Circular..I thought I’d use it. I can make a guide for my router although I’ve used a clamped spirit-level in the past. Sacrificial end pieces are a sound idea.

Not what I had in mind for ‘ death by beaver ‘.

@ anotherstan…rated for 90 – 130mm forks. Shame! :D

How did you get on with these? Any deals on the SC’s? I was thinking about these or the Chunkey Monkey/ Smorgasbord combo for a Wales trip..

@ Bigbut slimmerbloke…Freemason?

Sanderson claim their Blitz ( AM Long Travel frame ) weighs 4.6lbs in 18inch size…I find that hard to believe though..

On the subject weight, low CoG etc. 99% of riders prefer the advantages of a Dropper-post off-set against the additional weight of 1lb that high up on the bike…so Hora where do you want this thread to go….

……A 3lb Steel LT HT?

A Morticer…..oh and Kaley Couco :lol:

Quite liking the Suunto Core….has anyone seen one on offer?

bumpin up…

cant wait to see the above…

I didn’t think that a chimnea thread would be quite so elitist.. :lol: so seeing as nobody is answering questions bout Fire-pits I’ll start a different thread…so there!

Here.

I had a chimnea that cracked so was thinking of getting a fire-pit type thing for the whole ‘ campfire ‘ mood. Are they really rubbish ie. Smokey, ash blowing everywhere etc?

+1 Penmachno…turn right behind the pub, drive all the way up the hill till it opens out a bit. There’s a fireroad to the left, one of the Penmachno trails ( the lesser one ) leads off to the right. Utterly amazing views..I’ll Defo be going again this year.

Unfortunately York is requested by the client…

It’s good to talk!

Tell FiL exactly what you wrote here…ask him his views.

What happens when you go to his?

@ Chief …obviously quality stays.. :lol:

John 5

Left a Santana gig in Stuttgart half way through…very dissapointing Live.

Would of left a Bob Dylan gig in Brum a few years ago if I hadn’t been driven there..OH fell asleep. Seems like he tried to put a modern beat to his old Classics Borderline fraud

On a different note, a few years ago OH and I were going to a Gig in London ( to see Rammstein I think ) and thought we’d pass on the Warm-up band but arrived to catch the Last 2 or 3 ‘ songs ‘. Wish we’d seen them from the beginning. They were Apocalyptica…just 4 cellos playing some cool Rock… Seen them at Download since..

but you can drive your matt-black Bentley convertable to you happy place.( bike in the back obviously )

Looks East German to me..ex DDR

Unless you can put spacers on the ISCG mount also..btw I know f-all about the H/S

You got it..

but seriously I’ve a 47 inch chest, achieved through 25 years of manual labour and I’ve no moobs!!!!

don’t be to quick to judge..

You a racing snake then?? :D

Can you put a spacer behind the H/S?

Hope you don’t pull the bb with it…

rwc03 looks like an ok price. Afaik the LXT models were the better ones in the Makita line-up.
A metal chuck would of been a bonus. Quite often you’ll see a Hitachi DV18DSDL on the bay of E’s for £185 + £15 delivery with 2 x 4Ah batteries. Bargain!

I couldn’t find a jockey-wheel that I could set the height of the wheel. All the Jockey-wheels I saw had a wheel on a spring thus continually forcing the gate upwards.

@ slack..yes, treated softwood. probably Conifer. Hence I do expect them to sag over time. ( nothing adjustable hinges can’t sort )

So any suggestions on books?

i went back after a month and they’re spot on.

12mm Stainless threaded rod 150mm long, drilled 16mm, sleeved and set in epoxy resin.

Why??? the left hinges are 1.2M long ( adjustable hook and band).

not your B&Q black T-hinge

I’ve been in construction for 25+ years and have never had a Makita drill/ driver. Cheap tat as fsar asI’m concerned. Mate had one of the Screwfix specials £99 with 2 batteries ( not lithium ) took it back every couple of months as batteries were shot. I’ve had a Dewalt 18v ni Cad for 10 years of hard proffesional use paired up with a Hitachi 14v impact driver. Both died last November and i’ve replaced with a Milwaukee 18v Lithium Ion which seems to be holding up well. It has 51Nm of torque. My soon to be next purchase will be this Hitachi DV18DSDL with 2 4Ah bats & 92Nm of torque.

If its just a drill your after This is fantastic.

Don’t send the money till you received them back and checked them over.

and the moral of the story is wear a ful-face until your confident…and when you are confident dont wear one cause you’ll look like a d1ck. Even more so than when your wearing nappies cause a bad fall/ knock on the head caused you to loose your over your bowels.

chicksands…the downhillers doing the jumps wear full face!

@ davitaylforth ..what a load of boll..ox! Your concussion could of been a lot worse and you could be having all you meals through a straw.

Don’t have a problem with natural riding. Having someone that knows where they’re going is a bonus so as there’s no wasting time or even being caught out being miles from home, fading light with kids in tow.

My Oury grips are spot on. They’re not lock-on but have’nt shifted in a year. Bonus = Cheap
