Chem trails will do that

Adulting continues! Picked up our brand new Seat Arona FR on Friday, full dad wagon

Today I've had a boiler leak fixed, a radiator installed in our conservatory and our living room plastered. I've got that accomplished full adult feeling.

VIP here I come! Better get the card out Jenny doesn't know about..

Tits out much Mike? Might have to sub..

I bought a smart socket as we've moved a jukebox into a corner and I couldn't get to the switch behind it, so now I control it with my phone and I feel like Elon Fkin Musk.

GREEDY TYRANTS! ALL OF THEM!

Jesus

Gets me everytime In the background of most of that video is fuel stations, block that off, glue yourself to the pumps or whatever, that'll send a far bigger message then just sitting in the road or glueing yourself to the OUTSIDE WALL of a oil terminal. Leave them there, they've done it to themselves, they can fix it. Besides, one of the protestors on that clip has 5 kids, how much pollution has and will that cause! 10-15 years of nappies (based on 2-3 years before potty trained) along with the wetwipes or cloths that need washing, 5 more people on the planet using resources, energy and food which all these trucks will be delivering. I do understand the message but they're absolutley terrible in approach. I never understood when they decided to attack art, those pieces have nothing to do with climate change. I'm not particularly interested in art, couldn't care less if they throw soup on 99% of it in galleries etc, but all it shows me is you're a bunch of knobs, it doesn't send the message to me to stop using fossil fuels.

Watched guardians 3 last night in 4DX and feel like I've been in a car crash today haha, its pretty much full send from the first 10 minutes then it doesn't slow down. Can't comment on the film, spent 150 minutes trying to survive.

Check the microswitch out and find a part number Mike, put it into RS components and should be a like for like replacement. I doubt they're much effort to change as they're treated as service items.

That looks a bruiser Duncan! How do you rate the new Lyriks Ultimates? I'd heard a few complaints about them (only teething stuff that comes from a new release) but it did steer me away from the upgrade

Fitted a Chinese diesel heater in the workshop last week to keep my assembly room warm, in one week its cost £16 combined electricity and diesel and kept the room at 19*c, its heaven

I bought one of those £20 from eurocar parts to diagnose some bits on my last caddy and it's surprisingly thorough.

Its awful isn't it, we had a cull recently of all our subscriptions and monthly stuff we either don't use or wanted to swap as we were wasting too much money. We cancelled now TV and they offered a £15 a month service for £2.99 for 12 months, how is that right!?

You sly goose you.

Anybody interested in buying my XL 5010? The original buyers pulled out (fully ghosted me for 2 weeks now)... Its a big spec bike for the money, really solid build.. Lyrik Ultimates Raceface carbon bars, dmr defy+ stem Hope fortus 35s, maxxis minions Xt mech and shifter, slx cassette and chain One up 240mm dropper and charge spoon saddle Slx m7120 front brake, m7100 rear, rt86 rotors and uberbike pads Raceface crankset and chainring Mega fun, really playful and does everything really well. Looking for £3k, but I'll listen to sensible offers. It fitted me OK at 6ft5, but its kinda maxed out at that, I'd suggest 5'11" to 6'4" realistically. I've never registered the frame with SC either, so as far as I know the free bearing replacement/lifetime warranty is still available for the next guy. Also, Cotic BFEMAX XL frame for sale, used for 4 months, less then 250 miles I'd of guessed, not really a mark on it other then some cable rub areas. I'd be looking for £375 for it, can post but at buyers expense. Awesome hardtail frame, really enjoyed it.

Awful, Just awful.

WHERES THE CAPS

Sounds like effort on my part. Nah.

What's the point in telling me that you dog egg? Bring your bicycle so we can go bicycling.

On the back of Marks comments on the EDC lite, I really rate mine but it seems like the carriers worn and its an absolute b*****d to get out now, which is dissapointing, because I don't use it all that much. I've always got a crank brothers multitool in my pocket too (force of habit) which now lives in the glove box on the SC. So really its probably only been used a dozen times. I do agree with Mark though, I think if I was to go again with EDC, I'd go the whole hog and get the full version. Cheers dude, I wasn't sure if the green would pull off the tanwalls but they sit really well I think! Glad you got your axles sorted in the end! Yeti looks awesome! Can you not shim the reverb down to lessen the travel? I know other posts its possible but not sure on a reverb. Reverting back to your earlier post TF group ride is a must! I liked Adams suggestion of Cannock a few pages back (for no reason other then its 50 mins away and I'm lazy But I'd be happy to head somewhere else if others voted for it, could even do a weekender or something if we did a forestry commission location, most have camping now and a weekend riding/drinking is probably a good idea right?

Peak riding backpack free, what do you think to the granite stuff dude? I've always had OneUp EDClite om the 5010 and I'm gonna transfer it to the hightower, but its not lasting quite aswell as I'd like, especially to say its a occasional/get out of jail kinda tool. The Swoop looks awesome! Really nice setup dude. Can't beat a high front end on a trail bike. The handguards seem a pretty common thing now, I cant blame people for using them in winter too, its always the cold hands/dried brambles that kill across the knuckles. I keep meaning to ask how your getting on with the Yeti, Rbizzle, hope you've got your axle woes sorted I went out most of yesterday on the Hightower, rode from home to Pines, a mixed lap of blue and red, cherry picking the best sections to make a lap up and a nice pedal home. Seriously impressed with it, climbing position is super comfy, attack position is super roomy but also not overwhelming and it jumps so so well. Super happy with it! Derbyshire suspension have availability to get a new steerer pressed into the Lyriks so that's on the list to do. Have a bike tart picture while I'm posting .....

Haha Cheers Mike, I'm really pleased how it turned out. It's supposed to be my first day back in the workshop today after a week off, but trails are callin'..

Its abit big Specs largely unchanged from the Cotic, Lyrik select forks Hunt trail wide V2s, Maxxis DHR 2.4s Hope Evo 170, 30t Hope narrowide and Hope BB 30mm DMR Defy stem, Burgtec 38mm bars, Burgtec playdough grips Slx cassette, chain, XT mech and shifter OneUp 240mm dropper, Charge spoon saddle. Finished building this morning and spent the afternoon on local stuff, the fit is so good, it's the first bike I dont swamp, and manuals feel very nice!
