  1. I am double jabbed, and am more on the side of getting inoculated than not, but I don't think we should be forcing jabs on anyone either. You say there is no evidence it'll harm you, but we don't know the long term effects of getting the jabs so some are obviously going to be wary / suspicious when simply being healthier and taking care of your body can also greatly reduce the effect COVID has on you. Jabs are a short term solution for a long term problem, and in my opinion, a lazy way out of the issue (like most things we do as a species). Yes we can encourage taking, but mandating the jab to 'get back to normal' is ridiculous and i think that is the problem we'll have globally. I was told by someone else recently*, that the W.H.O announced that world leaders (and as such us), will just have to learn to live with COVID, like we do the flu, and I am definitely in agreement with that. It is just not likely to go away anytime soon. *if it's bullsh*t and they didn't say it, then i think they should be saying it.
  2. For way too long i was sat thinking 'why the f*ck does he want a 4" circle of grass?', then 'how the f*ck would he cut grass with a carbide wheel?', then some 'it'd be hard with scissors to get that 4" circle of grass perfect' then i had a huge "f*ck me, i'm an idiot"
  3. @IanJohnstone is the man to talk too
  4. Cheers RJ, means a lot. It took me a while to build up to doing that drop and won't be doing it ever again!!

    Some mind blowing bike control in this, dude! So good.
  6. You can take the TGS bike off me, but you'll never stop me being a TGS'er
  7. Thanks guys, appreciated. It's probably about two tires width, so not that thin, but wanted to do something on it for a while and that felt like the best option
  8. New edit online. Let me know what you think. Cheers guys
  9. One for you @Al_Fel - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-57639510

  11. Fair enough, though dreams have still been shattered It's like the time I realised that Adam at Tartybikes wasn't an avatar of himself hopping to rear or that Mark W isn't a little bird with a beret and a paintbrush.
  12. My hopes have been shattered that you are not in fact Kurt Cobain* living an alternative life thriving on TF! *Hoping my assumption of your profile pic being him is correct...
  13. Certainly is. Actually said WTF out loud for the gap between the two posts needles at c. 2.14. Thankfully the wee parrot / mini me was out of earshot... Edit: I'd actually like to see someone make a proper edit of Charlie on the streets doing Charlie stuff, but where he plans the line / the camera man knows where he is going rather than (seemingly) making it up as he goes
  14. From the picture you posted in the other topic you just need to rotate the tensioner around a little bit. 1. take the chain off 2. undo pinch bolt that holds the steel rod 3. rotate tensioner as far back as it can go 4. re-tighten pinch bolt 5. re-fit chain 6. ride, be happy, no more tensioner topics ;-)
  15. You'll be better putting a picture up dude so we can see what you're working with. With the standard tensioner, the tension is adjustable, however its lateral position along the chainstay isn't. If you were to get a custom mount made you could move the position but it sounds to me like your tension is just out. Also...this might help - https://www.inspiredbicycles.com/images/custom/downloads/Inspired Fourplay Tensioner Instructions.pdf
  16. So, i've got skinny wee chicken legs, and bought a size small. They were a bit tight round the ankle so had to cut them a bit to get my foot through. It sounds to me like you'd probably be best with with a size large as that arrow does seem to be pointing at the calf muscle rather than 'just below the knee'. If you're really that worried, you could always buy both sizes, try them on and send one back. Its a bit of faff, but at least you'll get what you want first time.
  17. Some absolutely unreal stuff in that. The drop hook 180 out was utterly ridiculous. Pure trials needs more of this kind of video. Good job lads
  18. For a couple of videos I made with Mark I pulled together a private spot map of London. It’s online now after I finished the last video. Hope it’s useful https://goo.gl/maps/uR26Dxg67uGMetN86
  19. Obviously a different city, but houses are going for under the 'offers over' prices round our end, @Ali C. A friend just sold his house for 10k less than asking price. I'd definitely speak with the agents as well and try get a feel for how long its been on the market / how desperate they are to sell / and don't put a crazy offer over in on it. Hope you guys manage to get something sorted soon.
  20. Another vote for these. Not using them at the moment but the quality / coverage is really good
