Re: The post man's been ...

Working too much...decided it was time for a treat... Ooooooooooooooooooooooh those are just lovely. Ride report ASAP please. Yeah...they're well plush. Going from 680 to 760 makes a big difference for me. Yet to dodge sticks with 'em where you have to adjust for being a bit wider, but a quick spin...

Re: Any 3D printerers around?

My brother has 3 of those things....the SKGo is a monster. But the one that's really impressive is the resin printer. It makes nice Joystick mounts that if properly cured, are pretty decent. Under 300 quid for a semi-decent resin printer.

Re: Best trail / multitool of all time?

Hexus II goes with me on every ride. Chain breaker is functional and has saved me on trail more than once. Like it that it'll do my lockon grips with tiny hex or my Eggbeaters with a large hex requirement and a good mix in between.

Clowncore - Van. How did I miss this album? Going from hard electronica to grindcore to fluffy Kenny G style jazz in the same song...that's a thumbs up from here.

Re: Multi-Scale Guitars...

Not played one...very happy with normal fretting on my Schecter. Get a Parker and don't look back. I'd trade my Omen6 'and' Les Paul in a flash for a nice Parker Fly from the 90's. Currently settling for the poor mans version - 2004 Hornet.

Re: For those who use Exposure lights.

When my MK7 Joystick was new, I got 5 nights worth of approx. 6 hours each night on the mode 3 low setting.
The current model seems to do the same but double the output (200L vs 100L).

Fair cop Reg. I just remember when I started sleeping in hedgerows...I didn't know BBB existed, but it was good to get out and gain the confidence. It was a couple of years before I started visiting mid Wales and meeting other like-minded folks.

Re: the toughest road climb in the uk is.......... ?

Burway after the cattle grid when damp and the Port Way grid to Burway junction when windy is type2 at best.

Brown Clee access road / Clee Cycles Brown Clee climb challenge is a good 'un as is Boulden to radio masts to the south of Brown Clee.

After going through sets of 2's 'n 3's every year, will be interesting to see how the Ti wings fair by comparison.

+1 for Rydons. Mrs Scattamah has the inserts and says they're great. Weight is right for forgetting you have them on. On the downside, they are designed for your face and will not survive in your pocket. I have a set with cracked frame from this. Treat them kindly and you won't be disappointed. Gree...
