Has that bike ever seen any dirt?

It's a house bike used for zipping about from one wing to the other. Probably got another five for outdoor use.

Speed sensor magnet

I’d prefer it on the rotor as it looks a bit crap there but heh ho can’t have everything

Congrats to Colin (?). Cube delivers the TM with Maxxis MaxxGrip front and rear and Canyon here comes with MaxxTerra rear, to what I recently switched my Cube as the superglue MaxxGrip Minion rear was worn. MaxTerra is noteable rolling easier and grip still fine for me.

It's really leafy out there. Makes for some slippery conditions.

Colin the Canyon

Yeah it’s a Max Terra Double Down. A right bugger to get on & off when converting to tubeless

Never met a tyre lever I couldn't snap I hate them

With the Gen4 "Smart" motors, they also have a wheel sensor built into the back of the motor itself. So with the Wheel magnet mounted on the valve stem, you get wheel speed without the need for the speed sensor cable down the off side chain stay.

You sound like a man who previously starred in pornographic movies.....

Well, winter is close and you have those new saws……

That was a bad storm. My company has cargo on a vessel from Germany to America that was rested with many other vessels for a couple of days in the baie de la Seine due that storm on the Atlanic heading into the Channel with waves up to 12 metres.

Close .. I have those "old" saws (this is just some of them) ... not new ones ...

My crappy but dependable cheapo Lidl's/parkside (the A2 by Scheppach, not the newer B3 by Grizzly - though used one of them yesterday and it was a pretty nice saw for a Chinese saw) quicky grab and go abuse saw wouldn't start and a full strip wouldn't get it going so starting digging out old saws and spent an hour getting them going just for entertainment.

Many many years ago when I was into motocross, I bought a set of Metzeler Tyre Levers. I still have them and they are unbreakable on any tyres. I don't think you can get them anymore.

I'm not sure what I should be most impressed with, the fact you have an indoor only bike, a house with numerous wings or both

Woman goes in to shop for a parrot . One is 10 dollars one is a 1000 dollars. Why is it so cheap she asks man. It lived in a whorehouse he says so may use bad language occasionally. She finds this amusing so takes it home. Her daughters come home for supper parrot says haha another couple of hookers. Her husband comes home from work a while later parrot says hi Bill l haven't seen you for a couple of weeks you ok.

Now that is an optimists answer. Another couple of weeks if I don't go out by 12 pm I could end up getting caught in the dark at 3pm.
