ebike boost low heart rate, knee length sealskinz with waterproof over trousers.

or indoors at spin

yes, rimpact do them, pedalled home a few times on the insert when its been cold and wet and couldnt be bothered or couldnt fix

ps. the last time i decided my alloy rims would be fine was when i got rimpact on the friday and an event at the weekend, didnt have time, dented the rim on a water bar

Brake_Adaptor_Mounts_2021 (hopetech.com)

L is the common +20mm  ie 160>180 or 180>200

H is the +23mm ie 160>183 or 180> 203

when did you last have a yearly service, just show them the records. ;0)

evri is good for me, within 1/2 hour of the main hub (leeds) and my local delivery lady is excellent. and i get vinted stuff to my local shop £2.29 delivered

parcelforce arent great nearest hub is rotherham for west yorkshire which is silly.

back to the gold old days, hopefully site traffic will pick up.

item views and watchers have been really low in recent years, maybe a peak around covid and then down due to inflation etc.

i’d say im on vinted more time than i spend on ebay

if you are happy with your mobile network provider or want a rival, go on moneysupermartker/ topcashback / quidco et al and get a cashback deal and the cheapest sim on the network you wish ie lebara on vodafone , tesco mobile or giffgaff on o2 etc.

i pay £5.35 for a SIMonly 5GB boosted to 10GB on virginmedia o2 Volt (ie also got broadband)

for a 4g security camera

rockshox and rimpact foam inserts

the only downside to weldtite gun is the head cracked on the thread of the bottle. so i’ve got 1/2 a tube of grease and would need to buy another tube to work the gun

change the hope, my experience of slipping seatposts has always been due to hope,  clamps are terrible

we all know how well smart metres in houses have been, bring in a smart metre for cars ??

its not a anti cyclist ‘don’t pay road tax’ discussion’

i clearly stated “Vehicle Tax” in the header :0)

rimpact make riding far smoother, got them in all my bikes, including gravel.

a few grams of foam isnt gonna make much difference to a ebike weight, i cant tell on a 9-10kg gravel bike

that last pinch flat/ding i had was on some brand new dt swiss alu rims, i’d received the rimpact the day before but decided i didnt have the time to fit them and sods law was looking at my garmin went over a water bar and properly dinged them. :0( last time i had to dig out a tube

i tend to bunny hop (badly) water bars, easier on rims

prices seem to have skyrocketed in recent months.

/\ do you not need to consider riding style,  ability, as well as tyre PSI and whether using inserts..

I’ve never managed to destroy a regular Maxxis carcass at ardrock in 6-7 years, that said i now use rimpact, and have never troubled the podium.. :0)

as Simon above says yorkshire is a big place.

an assegai seems to work well upfront with a dhr rear for me pennines holmfirth/marsden/ hebden and peaks.

i was up cutgate a week back in miserable weather, very wet and windy, felt like winter, grip was perfect.

its next to useless in mud, hence a couple of stages at AE forest and last weekend at Bollington enduro was hardwork riding late in the day after 500 riders had been through,

looking at tyre choice of the podium riders magic mary’s are popular.

my next enduro think i’ll take a spare front wheel with a Shorty or Mary ready to change over

a chopper with diddy wheels will be some effort..

depends how you ride, size of bike / steepness speed of trails.

i prefer the feel of hope e4 4pots, than shimano XT/slx i’ve had in the past, nothing wrong with those in action. but replacing the levers under warrnaty can be a pain. my xt m8000 slx m675 must have been replaced 3 or 4 times

had magura on a more XC orientated bike 4 pot front 2 rear, work very well, had a lever warrantied within 2 years (5 year warranty)

now have hope on gravel bike so nice to run the same pads on most of my bikes than stocking multiple sizes and brands

pilates / swim / gym (rarely) and ride gravel / mountain bikes 2-3 times a week was 4-5

lads trips a few times a year germany or sun/pool

and a fair few mtb trips with friends or solo

all jackets must have a napoleon chest pocket that fits a modern sized phone

that 20% code does not work on the lyrics ‘basket does not meet the requirements of this discount code’

yeah i’ve only ever seen the nigerian one in london tescos; i’m not a regular tesco shopper up north so never seen one.

just remembered at the start of summer crate_escape had 30 packs for £30 but it was already past its BBD and i’d struggle to drink them in smmer, so i didnt bother,

the nigerian guiness is great if you can find it,

had a ‘creme beerlee’ (beertown) in untapp’d leeds last week, very nice but very very sweet

probably my favourite for cold christmas evenings, used to be £25 a crate at that ch5 farm shop barnsley
Samuel Smiths Organic Chocolate Stout

red rat /pump track event, i wanted to ride it last year, but had sold out, this year i only saw the flyer on facebook about a week ago, two days running, i’m sure i’m subscribed to that group as well..

is it the khaki tee and brown shorts that make it gravel

@ley_line  dividends due next month, i’m keenly waiting to buy a Ti seatpost :0)

just checked my account only got a review discount you are welcome to

my garmin tells me alcohol is bad for recharging my body battery, one or two beers, bed at 10pm and recharge doesnt start till well after midnight on the graph..

but then again sporting activities depletes body battery so you cant win, not sure i’d be healthy if i got 9 hours sleep a night and sat watching TV all day

oos

had a few decent jackets of vinted in the last year , a 7mesh goretex and a hope x endura singletrack,  for under £30 :0)

i find the best deals from partners selling kit

*/\ bump

had a f29’er 2014 it was the lightest and fastest bike i’ve ever had, although it felt like a pogo stick when it got techier

with labour discusing new taxes next month, the 25% tax free lump sum at 57 (upto £268k), may no longer be a thing, hopefully it will still exist or be tapered downwards, as i cant imagine many regular folk hit the £1.08m pension pot..

@nbt, i think just spd, the purple grey blue , had a google hellcat/kestral

my brother saw them, he didnt really know what was avaialble, but sent me a pic of those

see a GP, maybe some physio

any ladies, children or men with small feet near stockport the pear mill adi factory had lots of five ten spd’s for £10 size 6.5 was largest.

i once invited them in :0(, i thought they were the local charity who had come to pickup a sofa/settee

thankfully, they looked shocked and i asked them if they’d come for the sofa, appologised for the misunderstanding and shut the door

four books on my amazon *book list that marketeers / IT Analytic at work have said we should read

sonder camino, but stretch to the Ti

reading this i know i’ll just need  2x spare inner tube and a chainbreaker for my summit of helvelyn on Friday :0(

start of the year, 2 in a month, same friends bike, i told him to check his gear before peddling up a steep climb.. chains snap if you think you can grind out a steep climb in too high a gear,

Trastevere across the river, easy tram or 25 min walk

@mattyfez, a SIPP is useful if you are a tax payer, especially a high rate tax payer as for every £1k you put in, the government top it up £250 (and then you can reclaim another £250 (to lower your high rate tax paid)

so essentially you are paying £750 for a £1250 investment, but the money is locked away until you are 57 (55 before Apr2028)

I use a combination of bank savings 3.5-4% for ready cash (earning a max £500 HighRate / £1k basic rate allowance before having to pay tax.), the remainder goes into my SIPP (to reduce tax) / S&S Isa (upto £20k pa)

bank interest would come off your personal allowance, although seems to be a £5k limit,

‘This means you can earn up to £5,000 in interest before paying tax. This is reduced for every £1 you earn over your personal allowance of £12,570 per year (2024/25).’

if you are wanting to move a cash isa to a S&S isa, do the official route, you cannot withdraw the money, it needs to be setup as a transfer between the financial insititutions
