What's everyone else getting
Not happy

I will have a Haggis and a Dram for you when we eventually meet . That will be on the first Sunday that lands mid week. But stranger things have happened.

I’m sorry to hear about your circumstances but I think gifts are reserved for those that are truly sincere.
I’m not taking sides though. Btw, I’ve never received a gift either.

It's in the post.

Finally got some riding after covid symtons. I'm excited to see what the mood will be like tomorrow.

Great photo but something doesn’t add up! How did you get your bike to a location like that in the Lake District without a single splash of mud or sprinkling of dust? Even the tyres look brand new!

Hmmm, photoshop or AI made? When zooming in on spokes, speed cassette, tire profile or brake discs it lacks details.

After analyzing the photo several times, I noticed that the air valves are not exactly centred to the XX on the Maxxis logo. I just about fell off my Throne.

Back on the bike after 6 weeks of recovery (peddle strike foot injury). Rode some trails looking for winter storm damage and catalogued for some later attention.








Several tree branches blocking some trails …but what a great morning

If you lineup my seat to the background in three of my photos, you’ll see a jump, a landing and a berm. The bridge kept my feet dry.

You really position the valves in the middle of the XXs! Now that you mentioned it……… …….no, I don‘t think I will rotate the fuckn tight fitting new tire on the rear wheel of mine.

It is really easy to align....though I tend to scrub away the yellow Maxxis Yellow along with a few other details about which tire I am running such as 3C or Exo+/DD

I use that as a guide as to who to ride with. If they can't be bothered with the details, they will have problems on our rides, which I do not want to deal with.

Hilarious ...but why do I get the feeling you're not joking ..

We’re going to have to check all the valve / tyre alignments on our next ride Hodge and have serious words with whoever fails the ‘perfect’ criteria

Few from November 4th .

It's probably due to global warming, when even the palm trees have started to grow

Pity they don't do boats eh.

A digital overlay or cardboard template could help with the problem. I don’t think the Moderators need to get involved …unless it gets outta-hand. We know they’re busy with less important things.

If we regulate and help others, we can avoid any naming ‘n’ shaming, or embarrassing exposure, such as the picture above .

I got a couple of Specialized Cannibals the other day to try for winter... and if I line the CANNIBAL text up in the centre of the valve, the SPECIALIZED text at the top is off centre on ONE of them (at one side). I was tempted to take it back to the shop and get it exchanged for a non 'faulty' one

I stopped using Maxxis tyres because of the horrid yellow logo
OEM get white... but I could never find 2 OEM tyres for sale in the compounds I wanted!

Count me in, and I am even more rebellious! I was so proud of myself to fit my first 29" tyre on my own, I totally forgot about aligning. Viewers discretion advised!

On my 3 ‘main’ bikes I have the following

1. Perfectly aligned valves just to prove I can also be anal

2. Slightly misaligned valves just to get the ocd crowd triggered

3. Completely random totally misaligned valves just to be a rebel

On my main bike I have mismatched wheels for winter & matching carbon set for summer

In spring & autumn you should put a carbon on the front and alu on the rear

With misaligned valves and different brand tyres

I would say it's all pretty Quiet on the Western Front.

Nothing to worry as long as valve is still in the middle of two spokes!

And you have a hairy profile,

Anybody got a picture of a bike? Or a mountain? Or a sunset? Or a rock? Or Switzerland? Anything really….
