What did you buy your ebike this week?

[RustyMTB]

My great regret is not buying two or three more DHB shell jackets when CRC were giving them away for £30 a pop. They're great but I will kill mine in time & they're gone forever.

 

[alancube]

I bought some spare presta valve cores and remover plus some pipe cleaners to keep with my Cube - as I couldn't pump the rear tyre recently!

 

[Stihldog]

I just looked it up, my god who pays that for a hoodie? that's 5 maybe 6 hoodies from PriMarny !
I'm tight when it comes to buy "Norm" clothes as I ruin stuff pretty quick with oil stains or snags on sharp objects from around the cave.

I hear ya! I don’t buy clothes but she seems to know what I need. But I have a stupid expensive collection of riding gear.


This is what I drag into the cave every day. It’s not that UK mud but it still finds it’s way around the house. The other day she must’ve had enough and read me the Riot Act. This dirt was starting to migrate from the cave and onto the precious wool carpets. Then I get blamed for all the world’s problems …message received.

I don’t rip or tear my gear that much …but it gets dirty. Most of the time it magically cleans itself overnight …how?

UK mud, I love that, trust me here in the UK there's different levels of mud, that stuff that falls off when you just look at it and some that's so hard you could use it to sole your shoes with its many and varied

in the UK.. It's the same for rain !!

Oh c’mon! Everyone knows our rain is wetter. My wet underwear proves it (20 minutes ago)

You must be having a laugh, everyone knows we wrote the book on rain and how many verities there are on it

We don’t write books about the rain here …Cause Those Are Wet Too.

 

[The Hodge]

how many verities there are

Is that a Yorkshire word Sean?
I know you all talk with a bloody strange accent down there ...calling folks " ducks" etc..but hadn't realised how bad things had got .

My first thought was …How did we go from discussing volume of H2O to gummy bears? (My favourite candy btw)

I couldn’t find that word, verities, in my thesaurus …it was raining too much, so I opened a package of Verities to satisfy my sugar fix.

Nah it’s my sausage fingers and bad grammar pal should have been varieties I’m from London originally so I don’t call people duck besides that I’ve heard that the lingo in your neck of the woods is bit strange too “gooin yem” roughly translated into “going home” what’s that all about

Here’s another one that talks funny “candy”? there called “sweets” mate

I think Haribo sell gummy bears they don’t sell verities though, either wet or dry version’s well at least I don’t think they do

'They're.'

Oh god, I've turned into one of those grammar tossers

 

[EMTBSEAN]

Oh god, I've turned into one of those grammar tossers

And I have turned into an idiot who cannot spell

 

[Stihldog]

I think this is where the Moderators could step in and start fixing things up…it’s getting messy in here. Unless they’ve been replaced by A.I. (English to English translation could help?)

I’m from London originally so I don’t call people duck

Duck-Tape …good for repairing leaks in the rain gear.
Not on my bike yet but I’ve got 3 different rolls …silver, black and red, from Princess Auto (CDN). Probably the same as your Halfords (EU), and whatever it’s called in the US.

Ducks now? When I was in London last summer, all the guys seemed to talk about Birds...

I didn't get out into the country, maybe birds turn into ducks turn into penguins for all I know...

Here, we have Tortas...

 

[Stihldog]

Finally …someone who makes sense.
I love those Mexican sandwiches.

 

[The Hodge]

I’ve heard that the lingo in your neck of the woods is bit strange too “gooin yem”

Nah mate ..I think you are mixing me up with those Mackems from Sunderland ..I would never say gooin..
Gannin yem..noo yer talkin bonny lad

Awesome, I love that accent pal

Lost in translation; Rented a Jeep for the day while vacationing in Mexico. I drove since I was sober and the four of us headed south. Soon I noticed a village sign called “Topes”. …BOOM…The jeep launched into the air and cases of beer flew everywhere. My passengers were not happy. After the cleanup I drove 15 minutes to the next village.

“Hey look”, as I pointed to the sign, “This village is called “Topes” also…weird.

BOOM!, the jeep suddenly launched into the air again.

“Topes” means stop or speed bump …lesson learned.

Anyway, back on topic: Boo.

Yay.

Spoil sport, just when we we’re all having a laugh as well

 

[RustyMTB]

You'll get a good laugh when I'm in here moaning about trying to get the bead to seat on the rim.

I was going to make a joke about the word rim but it’d be in poor taste

 

[Mcharza]

2.3 Maxxis Exo, is it enough for an e-bike?
Personally, I wouldn't dare to put more than at least Exo+ in the rear.

 

[EMTBSEAN]

In less than 24 hours of placing the order for my new bike stand, it arrived 15 minutes ago, now fully assembled and ready to get covered in good old English mud
