    Met him few times, he built my first custom mtb frame when enigma were still bexhill way and then a road frame when he first set up Nerve in newhaven. Top bloke imo. I do hope company will carry on ok.
    I’ll be riding the mtb this weekend, its still fits me better then the other 2 i own and although its a 26er i never want to sell

    Yep did it yesterday clean install no probs so far. Does not break photoshop as far as i can see and ver7 of eizo works fine. Its on my i9 imac main platform for repro running adobe cc and a high end specialist native pdf editor and all good. Adobe say Acrobat DC doesnt work but it does. Only thing so far is Distiller but i can do without that.
    dont forget once indexing sorts itself out should run better, leave on overnight normally deals with that.

    Did it last year, my first ride up that way with 2 mates who know it well. Liked it but too many bottlenecks tbh. Better if riders were sent off in small groups.

    Its brilliant basically, hard climbs and fun descents. Slippery when wet. Hardtail perfect imo.

    Its the sort of course that makes you want to keep trying harder

    Bought a vango celino air today. Could not decide in the end between that or a kampa brean air 3 for same money so went with vango as has proper porch area and 3 year warranty once registered.

    Like the sound of it already. Only real downside i can see is only 1.5 l bladder. Would need to have one bottle as backup. Where does most of weight sit? I have always found weight always ends up dragging on shoulders rather sitting on back

    Good fun v6 petrol leaves other vans behind handle ok as engine in middle if a little high unless suspension is shot and you get a wave from other bongos. But. Last one made 2004 ish . Ours was only 5 years old when bought from jalimports who really do have some of best and hardly had a spot of rust anywhere underneath before was done by us. Only 40k on clock and engine smooth as and never burnt oil

    So unless this has neen said allready… why have the military not go involved with tracking,spotting drones, dont they have some of the best drones and tech stuff. Surely they could see one from a long way off and see where it comes from etc

    Love mine, 2016 one setup quite xc style and just goes fast everywhere, although i did put some light easton wheels on. Holds speed up and down hill really well

    Wanted a t6 but didnt want diesel as live in town and mpg on the petrol t6 no better then our old v6 bongo. Got a new petrol caddy maxi life. Take out 3 row seats equals massive boot. Getting 35 min around town 42 plus on motorway so far. Bit van like but practical with options to remove 2nd row seats and could sleep in if had to as well as being able to reach roof for bikes boards on top if req.  the 1.4 tsi very smooth quite impressed and more then fast enough considering traffic everywhere these days

    Can you allow only certain addresses? So only ones you want to work will have access. Means doing it manually everyday .

    Yep quite easy if you take your time, slow and steady is the key. I find it easier to copy a spare wheel for lacing though

    Why not get set off light wheels and tyres for racing. Rotational weight more important overall acceration etc etc if u can knock 500grams or more it will be noticable.

    Kinesis wheels about that weight and price but you will have to reset caliper.

    Thirsty if driven gently, is yeti 4 wheel drive?

    Ps coming from a v6 bongo so any extra mpg is a bonus

    Yep its tame but gets interesting when ridin flat out on heartrate limit under 35 min laps when fit. 4 laps hard good for training as a change. Surrey hills more fun for sure. Wifey likes bedgebury man reason we go. Did insomnia night race few years back , that was right fun
