Re: Todays ride
Yes, scumbags the lot of em (I include Galloway in that due to his various other stances which stand with abuse - not sure what's going on with him to be honest!). Been to Screwfix Leeds...

Re: Todays ride
Since Michael Goves announcement. Trying to scaremonger the likes of me to stop supporting CAGE, MEND and the likes (Sagir from CAGE talks about it [url = https://youtu.be/WvKQGy1HOLA?si=d2WCi25odE_iFiZZ ]here[/url] and the rest I'm sure you can find with a few taps) I decided to do something a 'bit...

Ok. Thanks Stu. Won't do that then. Heat and cold it is then before I resort to welding options

Re: Off Topic - siezed, rusted, possibly double threaded, sheared bolt extraction advice!
Thanks all. Yes, do know someone with a welder but he's 10 miles away. Local garages, I'm not too familiar with and my last garage I gave up hope on after he left the brakes unbled then said he nled em 8 times. So a welder ideally which I was hoping I might get away without, especially since it's a ...

The intact one. Someone mentioned online about heating it all up and then using the ice spray to hear a satisfactory 'pop' as the bond breaks. But that ice sprays says to not use it on heated metal!

Off Topic - siezed, rusted, possibly double threaded, sheared bolt extraction advice!
Sorry for having to ask on here. But I doubt I'd get a better range of quality input from anywhere else. Doing the break job on the rear of the car. A big car and the bolts to remove the calipers are 2 x M19. 3 of them undid nicely but the 4th was taking forever to come out. Had the Halfords Advance...

I had this issue Bearlegged. Thermarest Neoair roughly 2016 model. A few tiny punctures here n there which had been sealed with some puncture repair patches. Last year overnight with pressure on it, felt as though it was losing pressure. Like throughout the night about 10% or less would come out. S...

Re: How long does it take for your mat to lose pressure?
I've found that Exped mats can leak very slightly through the valve. I recall Hux pointed it out to me and suggested smearing the valve plug with spit before inserting it (stop it at the back) and hey presto, it seems to work. There's your answer right there Bear... Check the shop to see if Stu has...

Re: New (carbon?) wheels
You can get customised Lightbicycle wheelsets with rims of your choice … +1 for Light Bicyle as a brand. As a related warning though: I built up a set of their AR46's which I bought without holes drilled in the rim bed to save needing rim tape. Lacing those up was perhaps the single worst bicycle-r...

Re: Sunday conundrum.
I thought it only sticks whilst its curing. Once the silicone is cured it doesn't stick (does it ) and be careful of the new 'water based' rubbish. Used the DOW (or whatever the name is of the trade stuff) but bought the environmentally friendly stuff. Was nothing like it's dirtier brother.

Re: New (carbon?) wheels
In that case, I'd wither go with an allow set (built to your specs.. cos a couple of Hopes would cost around £270... Kinlin rims around £100 for both and some Sapim aero spokes (they're very very strong but light). I'd most probably want to have at least 28H but 32Hrims would add a bit of strength. ...

Re: Today's Run
Pure trail today. With the backback and a 600ml water bottle.
4.46 miles; 1,076ft of up and 1h 02 mins. I transleted that into marathon pace (well, not too scientific just the maths)and I'm getting a finishing time of 5hand 55 mins. Though it'll be less steep, I still need alot more work

Oh... and don't try to fit a rim that'll not leave enough gap inside your frame/forks. Could be a but of and expensive/dangerous mistake when/if rocks or mud get lodged in that gap.
