Get some of those big yellow plastic wedges to park on if you need to level it up on a sloping site (unless you have some sort of fancy self levelling suspension)

I think Rapha do a cycle specific one that costs £50 for a small tube but does have a pink stripe in it.

Are you sure thats not toothpaste?

Nothing to add to this except that I opened this thread to make a comment about 142×12 being one hell of a drive ratio 8O

Am I supposed to rub chalk all over it and then clean off before first use?

Yes but put a couple of coats of blackboard paint on the wood first :wink:

Don’t go calling me a Calyptus Wood :wink:

Should be A.

Most people seem to go with B

Depends to an extent on the availability of a brush I suppose….

Make an appointment to view and then offer what you think it’s worth or what you can afford (these may be the same amounts).

If Zoopla suggests it’s worth £180k then it might be worth mentioning that to the agent…

I use High 5, Nuun or SIS depending in which has the best offers on when I need some more.

I agree they seem to prevent me cramping up more than water alone, particularly when its a hot day (this may just be in my imagination though).

Really, don’t do it.

You’ll never get that time with your children back.

I’ve worked in the middle east a few times over the past 3 years for short stints, a week or so at a time (though not in Saudi).

I’d not go for 3 months, let alone 3 years.

The Edge 25 look really good but I’d like one that I could use to track runs as well as rides.

Unless there’s a wrist-strap accessory available….

Just in case any of you good folks were wondering what the outcome was of this. :wink:

I found my lost waterproof so a replacement isn’t going to be needed…yet.

Turns out it’s an Altura Thingy. I know it’s an Altura because that’s what the small tab label says, it’s a Thingy because it doesn’t have a model or style label.

It’s not a party without some Betty Boo :wink:

I’d be up for a future incarnation/date of this as I can’t do the 4th July

Take them to see John Cooper Clarke Live

Boiling Water Hot Taps

And not a moment too soon, hateful things

I suspect my oubliette will be filled in sharpish once I’m no longer able to prevent it happening…..

scour the bargain sites for super discounts

This is what I’m going to do.

Rob 234, thanks for the offer but I need a size large (purely for the length, you understand :-) )

I wrote and performed a 30 minute standup routine last year.

It took a few run throughs beforehand to get the wording and delivery right.

It was terrifying and exciting in equal measure, I’d definitely do it again

I’ve got a Superb.

It’s comfy, plenty fast enough, has a massive boot, huge legroom and is economical to run.

I particularly like seeing the look on folks faces when I say I drive a Skoda :lol:

I’d repair the Alfa :D

Thanks for the advice, based on it I’ll try warm water, fairy liquid and a splash of Milton in the water.

Take it with you on a morning or evening walk and put it in a dog waste bin on the way round?

Edit, beaten to it by AdamW

I can identify all the parts in the 1st picture (I particularly like the Stunt Pegs :wink: ) apart from the upright cylinder in the middle, where on the bike does that go?

From Wetherby services, off at J49, A168, A19 bit should be fine at around 6 (which I summise is when you’ll have got to that bit).

The M62 round the south of Leeds is where the issue will be IME.

I’d allow a country 2 1/2 hours for that trip at that time of day.

I will see how she is tonight – if she enjoyed herself I will leave it.

I think this is the best approach.

The school staff may end up reconfguring the groups during the trip if they think it would be better for them to be changed.

Speaking a someone who has been on a number of school trips as an adult (as a parent and governor at the school) the staff want everyone (including themselves) to have a good time on the trip and wouldn’t do anything that would result in unnecessary hassle for themselves or anyone else.

I’m going to Whitby tomorrow for a child free weekend away with Mrs Wombat :wink: The weather forecast is for rain tomorrow, looks as though we’ll have to stay inside…..

anyone have a totem pole?

Other than 1st thing in the morning?

I’ve got a 5s as a company phone and a personal Sony Z1 Compact.

The only thing that I prefer about the Iphone is that the charger lead will fit in the socket both ways round.

Apart from that I prefer the Sony in every respect.

Legend, I agree with you subject to a minor amendment…

Can we get this point settled once and for all – they do not drive like modern cars.

They drive nicely for vans, ride reminds me of a Volvo 240 estate (not that that’s a bad thing, the 240s were great cars)

my legs are pretty much hairless on the outside

How can you tell if your legs are hairy on the inside without cutting them open? 8O

You mean they aren’t clean shaven???
If not; why bother?

Apparently this is what happens if you get a half leg wax, they only do the backs :wink: :D

Tent

My wife is 5″ shorter than me, my GF is 1.5″ shorter than my wife

2nd page before this?…..the place has gone to the dogs :wink:

I’m going hull down

That doesn’t make sense. As opposed to what? If you’ve gone hull-up, you’re upside-down and probably sinking fast.

AIUI Hull down is an artillery/tank warfare term for when you place the (hull of the) tank behind a hill or ridge in the ground so only the turret protrudes above the horizon, thus giving the enamy a very small target to hit.

Its commonly used where the tanks are establishing a defensive position.

And yes, I know, it’s in the wrong forum :roll:

People saying “in terms of” when that actually mean “with relation to” or “regarding”.

“I’m going hull down for the PM” meaning “Please don’t disturb me this afternoon”

I have several times, stuff always arrives.

Not tried returns (not needed to).

Their shops are worth a visit too if you’re in Newcastle

Video it and then make him watch it….and then show it again at his wedding :wink:

Motorail (train transportation for cars).

+1 have used it myself, it’s ace.

42 mph, Maxxis Advantage front & rear, Sutton Bank on the edge of the North Yorkshire Moors (going downhill :wink: )

Top speed reached in the steep section just after the hairpin right-hander.

Bloomin scary in hindsight.

Cars get very close very quickly….. 8O

A blown damper perhaps?
Had one go on a Subaru Sumo back in the day, new damper sorted it.
