Nice one, ordered a seal kit earlier so will give it a go

Nobody is believing this

Gonna bump this as I'm struggling to find a Hope trials caliper to match my tech lever but I do have an Echo disc brake. Does the Hope Mono Trial seal kit (HBSPC41:TRIAL) fit the Echo caliper so I can run it with dot?

f**k sake Ben, that line near the fountain at 3:18, the sandpit one after it and the manny and drop at the end....🫡

Nice one cheers Ali

Ordered some spokes from Tarty for my sons mtb and wanted to start lacing them but I've lost the slip saying which length is for which hub/side. Both pro 4's which I know generally use the same spokes front and rear, would I be right in assuming shorter spokes for disc side front and drive side rear as they have the biggest offset from the end of the axle to the spoke holes? I have emailed but could do with getting at least one laced up at work tonight...

You running a 15t sprocket on it? Do you want a Chris King wide sprocket to keep it bling as I've had one in a jug in our kitchen for about 10 years doing nothing 😂

Windscreen washer hose on my car split this morning, luckily a couple of spare titanium maggie barbed fittings and some bleed pipe have managed to fix it. And that's why we never get rid of ANYTHING! 😅

Bargains galore at Peatys today, usually absolute wank but picked up a pair of brand new boost 32h Pro 4's for my sons bike for £80!

Somehow seem to have blagged Modern Warfare 3 on my Xbox for free?!

Ended up just sticking with the Sapim ones that came with the spokes, they were the fancy nipples with the weird hex end. Didn't realise they might have had threadlock in but I don't like the sound of that!

Just set off building a wheel for one of my lads for xmas and run into a possible issue. Rim is a DT Swiss EX511 which has come with concave washers and their own 2.0 15mm nipples, spokes are 14g Sapim from Tarty and they thread ok but get tight very quickly. I've only just threaded them lightly by hand but I'm not happy with how they're binding, I assumed they'd work fine but could the thread pitch/diameter be slightly different? Will I be ok to use the Sapim nipples with the washers that came with the rim?

Bit of a random question but does anyone on here live near or in Clacton on Sea? My son is after a MTB Hopper ramp for xmas but they're f**king expensive. Seen one on ebay reduced but the seller has it down as collection only and it's a bit of a drive (steady 230 miles) so I'm trying to pin down someone who'd be willing to pick it up and drop it in the post for me (beer money supplied for your trouble obv.....)

Well, it's been a long time coming (I started clearing the garden last March/April) but finally got some grass down yesterday and space for the kids to play and relax. Been hard work clearing as there was a static caravan here previously so the paving slabs were well set and there was a lot of gravel and stuff to clear. I think I've shifted roughly 18-20 tonne bags of stone and garden waste (did 6 bags in the last couple of weeks). Slight nightmare as the area was roughly 66²m but yesterday afternoon just after 3pm I had 4 tonnes of topsoil and 70 rolls of turf delivered. With the weather being warm and dry I didn't want to leave the turf so set to barrowing all 4 tonnes myself while my dad levelled iit out as best he could. Finally got finished laying turf at 9pm last night, today I feel absolutely broken but pleased it's finally done. Now onto the next job 🙈 Before: After:

After 2 years we've finally got a calisthenics setup in the local park 😁
