Full respect but as someone who has had an attempted theft I appreciate the OPs fears. I haven’t elected to tool up and simply rely on a modified version of psalm 23 Like many others. Glasgow must be different these days though cos trust me, if you rode into huyton or bootle with a cavalier...

Gotta say the OPs fears are justified. Post covid 19 when 5m of us are unemployed it will get a lot worse. If anyone remembers the last big recession in the 80s? One possible solution might be a small tin of aftershave or hair lacquer as a PS alternative. But only if your prepared to use that 18...

My gosh i could have written the same post exactly, a few months ago and I definitely feel ya. Not much you can do, I too looked for tazers etc after a lad tried to take mine. Somewhat time of day dependant but your head torch is a formidable and adaptable emergency defence system. Few will...

Loving your style and choices. Nice bits!

Only thing missing from that beautiful scene is your own personal Alp. Dirt jumps would be a suitable and worthy substitute. Well, go on, get the spade and get digging!

Sorry if my post seemed a bit strong. I've clearly gone old and soft, i have loved some hardtails over the years. To be fair they were mostly steel or some mix of steel.

I’m using the wife’s Hardtail levo at the moment and please believe me the suspension is well worth the extra. The hardtail is fast and efficient but it’s just torture even on the road and near unrideable off it. If there was a steel framed option it might be better but in rigid alu it’s a...

Cant you use a boot thing or a strong patch on the inside?

Yep me too.

All Uk bikes are pretty much like that. We have rear brake, mode selector and dropper on the left. Shifter and front brake on the right. Definitely re-route, keep you occupied for a bit longer.

Ergon sme saddle, previous sdg bel air has worn through on a textured area. It’s blistering down the channel too. Thought I’d see if the lip helps on steep climbs. Looks decent anyway. Also ordered a new drive side engine cover. Wouldn’t bother under normal circumstances but it had some rub...

Tea down the nose, cheers for that:ROFLMAO:

Actually I’ve been coveting a very fine one after watching a you tube vid on changing Brose drive belts out of warranty. The belt tensioner device has a very low torque value, lol.

I must say despite the fact my motor blowing up forced me to get very up close and personal to my levo this week, I have thoroughly enjoyed the process of stripping the motor out etc. I’ll do the headset and check/replace pivot bearings. A stand and torque wrench are a total must obviously but...

Thread title of the day as consolation mate.

Well, as we say up here..... I’m in up to the makers name now! No turning back. ive been really lucky to source a replacement motor under warranty. Quite a relief with weeks of inactivity stretching in front of us. Couple of progress pics below. Surprisingly easy with a little help from @Kiwi in...

Thankyou no worries, look forward to hearing from you.

hi kiwi, did you get my pm old chap?

Pudding says hi! Sorry I’ll be off now.
