I think the problems the op said about in the Surrey hills, are less about ebikes, and more about the massive amount of all riders there now.

Is Bernie just trying to be like Mr Burns?

Verstappen seems to have done a great job of surrounding himself with bell ends.

It depends, if I was doing big loops that involve some pedaling, lightweight pads, if it’s smashing endless runs on the pleney, all the pads.

I’ve told my nearest and dearest, when the time comes, highway to hell…..

“it’s a term of endearment where I’m from”😁

Train drivers also have to do mental health tests, that I’m pretty sure the average mp would fail.

Has anyone on here long shocked a g15? I have a 222×70 to go on in place of the stock 216×63, and I was just wondering what other changes you made. Increase of fork travel, offset bushings etc, and how it affected the rest of the geometry.

As above, I had the same problem, and sanded it back a bit with wet and dry.

Tax dodging isn’t just for the rich.

Told you it would upset the gammons/trolls😁

Another one for one up. If nothing else, they’re really easy to service at home. I also have a fox, that’s been faultless for five years, but they’re twice the money.

I don’t post as much as I used too, because someone will quote a tiny portion of your text, to make some sad point and start an argument.
I don’t mind people trolling, but when they start doing it on threads like the Ukraine one, it’s just offensive.

The increasing polarization in American politics only seems to be heading one way, civil war/self destruction.

Le pen represents the French version of the NF. If you need explaining why this is bad, you’re a **** idiot. Or a racist. Or a troll

My five year old geometron has a 515mm reach in size large. I’m not compensating for anything, honest 😳

I read that article as, old person walks out into traffic, probably on their own phone, nearly gets hit by a cyclist, and doesn’t want to admit they’re an idiot, so blames anyone else they can.

I’ve been running some hookless light bike carbon RMS for eight years, with no problems. Loads of different tyre, pressures etc, not a single problem.

I’ve got some snail rotors, and I’m not dead, yet…..

They’re both very very good, but not infallible.

Filled my works lorry up at £1.61.9 yesterday, same garage was £1.71.9 today…….
I’m pleased I cycle to work.

I sold a set of xt chainrings on eBay. I guy messaged me saying he really needed them by the weekend, and would I sell them now? I said my price, including 1sr class delivery, and immediate delivery, he then repeatedly messaged me calling me a money grabbing barstard among other things …..
They sold for £30 more than I offered him.

Andrey rublev (Russia pro tennis player) wrote “no war please” on a camera lens at the Dubai open. This is a small example of not all people in Russia supporting this war, and hopefully the anti war sentiment will grow.

I don’t think this will affect us directly (except rising costs etc) but Christ, I really feel worried for the people of Ukraine. This really is horrible to watch, and brings back memories of the shit show that was the collapse of Yugoslavia.

Squid bikes?

Brighton sea front is a bit breezy 😳

I was looking forward to seeing him in court, desperately trying to wriggle his way out of it.

Sswc 2020 was supposed to be Belgium, got postponed to 2021, still didn’t happen, and it’s all kind of gone quiet. I was looking forward to getting drunk and riding bikes in Belgium again.

The size of some Chelsea tractors is getting ridiculous. I work as a lorry driver for a builders merchants in suburbia, and the extra width of them, when parked by the roadside causes no end of access problems.

“I’ll tell you one good thing about the war in Afghanistan, with all the troops getting injured, we’re going to have a shit hot 2012 Paralympic team”
That’s a Jimmy Carr joke from over twenty years ago, his stand up has always been offensive like that, if you don’t like it don’t watch it.
If you want to be pissed off by something he’s done, start with the massive tax dodging.

You know all those people that moan about cyclists, saying they should take a test and have a number plate…..
This old guy is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to unlicensed drivers.

Odi Long necks, lock on or normal, both great.

Some of the attitudes and opinions in here, demonstrate why the planet is ****.

I’m not terrified of unvaccinated people, I just think they’re stupid and selfish.
I’ll quite happily defend someone’s right to be stupid and selfish, but that still doesn’t get away from what they are. Freedom of choice and all that.

Tbh, water is way more likely to get in the motor by being an idiot with the jet wash than riding in the wet. I bought an ebike for use mainly in the winter, it just makes the horrible, draggy, soul destroying slop tolerable.

I have two sets of carbon rims, one from lb. These are 7/8 years old, and have stood up to a lot of abuse, including Alps trips. Just make sure the tyre pressures are high enough to avoid repeated rim dings, and you’ll be fine

Well, I’ve just had four weeks of not drinking, for no particular reason, so why?

“you, you, you, can’t even afford a car”🤣

I bought a cheap tool that sits inside the BB axle from China, has the usual Allen keys etc, chain tool and split link on it. Tube, tubeless repair and tyre levers are out in a bag and strapped under the top tube, with my pump above it.

You expected the council to make decent cycling infrastructure 🤣🤣🤣
