    Sold 2022 Fox Defend Fire pants *** £65.00 *** Chester UK

    Put them on eBay. But wait until Friday when they have cheap deals so that you don't have to pay them 10%. If you log in and have a look around for similar clothing it seems to wake up eBay and they may even send you a limited time offer for zero fees. PS: I like the pants and the price, just...

    Top tube carbon cracking Cube Stereo 140 2020

    'Hi team, Cube came back in the ticket yesterday. They concluded it's not caused by weakness in the frame, but by external force (eg, clamping). Wow! I'm so glad that when I got my first CF framed bike that I was never going to clamp on the frame when using the workstand. I do however use a...

    Coal,wood gas or oil...

    The builder of my house, well his men really, made a mistake when building the garage. They used Thermalite blocks instead of standard breeze blocks for the inner wall. (Thermalite blocks were specified for the inner wall of the house*). Consequently, the garage has always been warmer inside...

    Tampering identification....

    I believe that the relevant laws already exist, they just need enforcing.

    Tampering identification....

    I have read that every citizen has a social score. Their score is added to by doing good works, getting good qualifications etc. The score is reduced by a variety of transgressions: littering, being a noisy neighbour, parking tickets, speeding, having a religion other than the communist...

    Tampering identification....

    I wouldn't be at all surprised if the whole of your family and all your friends and other "known associates" also get some sort of penalty. With 600 million AI powered face recognition cameras there would be no escape.

    Motorcycle carrier for eMTB rack?

    @milkandrelish I am aware that you are not based in the UK, but this may help. I have a Thule towbar bike rack and I was sure that I had seen reference to a loading ramp, so I had a quick look and found it, here: Thule Epos Foldable Loading Ramp | Thule | United Kingdom I can recommend...

    Bike cleaner recommendations

    Well, it works for elephants, pigs and hippos. So it may have something going for it! :ROFLMAO:

    Here we fe*"n go.... Idiots...

    One concern is that all the negative stuff in the press about "electric bikes"* may eventually cause your buildings and contents insurer to load your premium or insist that the bike is not stored or charged in the house or garage. Note* Unfortunately, the "electric bike" reported upon is most...

    :eek: I agree, a horrifying thought. But thank heavens for tubeless tyres and sealant.

    You mean ONLY for roadies!

    That is boutique mud, designed to make you think you are riding through mud. This is mud! Lincolnshire clay soil a few days after rain (so it is sticky not sloppy). The stays were shaping the mud and I thought that the paint would be stripped off, so I had to stop. If you look carefully, in...

    Electric Scooters

    Don't be too hard on the newbie; he/she probably picked the first one that was of interest. I still occasionally pick up on old threads, but because I always start with "What's new", usually only after someone else has started it up again. :)

    Levo Gen 2 Rear Shock 210 mm x 52.5 mm or 55mm

    If you can have a 5mm spacer, you can reduce it in size to convert it to a 2.5mm. I know they are an irregular shape, but just reduce its weight by half. If you don't have an accurate scale, use a balance with what you have cut off on one side and the bit you need on the other. It doesn't have...

    Riding with prescription glasses?

    Relying on an "it won't happen to me" is an unwise strategy by your Doctor friend. Very early on in my mtb experience, I hit one of those small diameter side branches that the trail builders had clipped off, leaving about 3" stuck out, like a pencil. It hit me on the bony orbit around my eye. I...

    Levo Gen 3 Do I need to upgrade my suspension or something else?

    With your front and rear sag 10% apart, you are at risk of unbalancing the bike. A number of years ago I had that same difference (25/35) and I was struggling to get up a steep climb. The front wheel was wondering all over the place and I eventually ground to a halt. I tried all the usual...

    Signa Sports with Liquidity issues .... (CRC/Wiggle/Bikester/Probike/Nukeproof/Vitus)

    Dunno why I didn't look sooner, but I have a CRC voucher for £5! :( Currently looking for something for about that. Edit: Found (1) some zip ties for £4.99, but out of stock! Found (2) a brake caliper alignment tool, reduced to £6.99. But my code is invalid! So, either I have already used it...

    I hope so, but he's from Vancouver so I thought he might be working in Fahrenheit. And its Vancouver! And the post was about Winter.

    I assume you mean 17 degF not 17 degC. 17 degF is minus 8 degC. Proper chilly! o_O
