Mentions of Coventry… I went to school in Hinckley so we had the choice of Leicester or cov. A mate was mugged for his tacchini tracksuit too in cov. I never had any bother but like Adrian mole I never had any nice clothes. Tended to stick to Leicester though as Coventry had a bit more of a rough reputation.

I was just idly browsing recently and noticed that go outdoors have them for sale at £829. Recon/nx build. Seems like a bargain if they are any good

Try it and see? Might well be ok.
I used a zee mech with a 40t cog for a good few years. It worked ok.
Then I got a goat link and it worked better.

now to find an afordable 29er that big ,

Calibre sentry?
More enduro than trail with 160f/150r travel but certainly affordable at £1700 for the base model. £2200 for the incredibly well spec’d pro model. (Although only got medium left on the website- might be worth checking in store)
I’m 181cm and on a large with 487 reach. Comes with a 150 d…[Read more]

6mm spacer non drive side. Cassette stays in same place.
Re-dish of wheel may be needed I guess

Some great gigs coming up for people. Re murder capital saw them at a festival last year and really liked them. Playing in Sheff in 3 weeks but we can’t go as we’re at a 50th.
Just bought tickets for green man. Absolutely storming line up this year. Thundercat, working Men’s Club club murder capital Michael Kiwanuka and little dragon etc etc e…[Read more]

A weekday in February you say?

I saw about 4 people last year. Glorious weather too

Other than that I can’t think of anyone else I know using “legacy” stuff.

That would be me. Bought a connect, connect amp, a bridge and controller in 2009. The controller was recycled for 30% off a Sonos one a while ago.
It would cost me £700 after trade in if I were to replace the connect and amp with current products. Roughly what it cos…[Read more]

Sheffield has had the Howard street dual for a few years. Of course Peaty being involved always helps

As above you can’t get c4 hd on Freesat. Hence firestick. We do approx 60/40 streaming/live tv.
The apps on the firestick are loads better than the ones in the humax box. Being forced to watch ads is the only down side.

Same here. Got rid of sky, got a humax dvr. After a couple years hard drive died. Got a new one off humax cheap as it’s a known fault. Never record anything now, stream everything. Firestick or whatever plus a cheap humax receiver is all you need.

Chainrings don’t care. 9,10,11 all fine. Probably 12 as well?

Allegedly hit the drums harder than anyone else (NSFW)

Saw this on Facebook this morning.
I bought a calibre sentry about a month ago. Amazing bike full stop. Let alone for the price. If onone can start producing bikes like that with Mike’s input then good luck to them. Be interesting to see what happens.

It’s 135×10 rear. I’ve got one. I got some cheap wheels from planetx For mine.

I had 700c wheels with 35mm gravel tyres in a slot dropout 26 inbred. Very close at the chainstay bridge even with the wheel all the way back. 26 back on again now as didn’t really see the point of it after a bit of tow path riding reminded me how boring it was!

12. Lucky guesses mainly!

It was wet
We had fun
Dog walkers moaned

Tire/tyre
C’mon STW, you’re slacking…

Nealglover yes I am. Half a dozen sets of notes needing reports doing so far this week. I’d rather not have to do them. It’s mostly insurance reports for life cover etc rather than employers. Of course we charge. And I bet Babylon would for a fee too, if requested by the patient. Moot point though as most users of Babylon have an nhs GP who wil…[Read more]
