Sorry I should have said that the chrome plating appears to be pretty much non existent. Given that the bike was bought new in July, has done approx 800km, and never seen salt, I'd expect them to still be looking like new. :( So do I. :(

I clean the bike thoroughly after each ride, taking great care to wash it properly, use an air line to remove all water, then coat the whole bike thoroughly with ACF50, but this morning I spotted that the chrome on both of the lower section of the fork stanchions is pretty much non existent and...

Not such a good ride this morning. Raining hard, very muddy, 5 separate punctures, and 12 miles short of my target distance today of 30 miles. I jacked it in after the last puncture. :( I don't think that any tyre/tube would have prevented this one!! I did grab a coffee before abandoning...

The link to your Neo Carbon doesn't appear to work.

I've always liked the work of Julian Beever. peerjay, his book 'Pavement Chalk Artist' is worth every penny.

This approx. 5 cubic metres of off cuts from my last oak framing job, and is also the start of another stack which I may make into a massive log hobbit house. You can never have too much wood. Even more.

I try to keep mine as neat as possible.. This one is approx. 4 cubic metres of oak. This one is about 18 cubic metres of oak.

I have become fed up of never having the right map coverage for the area that I love riding in so much, so had this made. :)

I haven't checked out the rest of the site, but some of the links on Haibike xDuro AMT PRO 27.5 Gen 2 2014 page don't work.

Dunno, but even I think that it smells of wee here. ;)

This one kind of shocked me. BH Emotion Volt Electric Bike | eBay I was very tempted by it, but my wife said that probably wouldn't have ridden it. I even spoke to the original dealer who gave me full story. The winner bidder got a bargain. The only thing is that it is a Pixo, not a Volt as...

This thread has reminded me of a photo that I have of my grandad that was taken long before I was born. Kidds Hill on Ashdown Forest.

Too late for me, but that's a good find for someone else. :)

DC, I happened to be in Evandens today and they sold the Topeak equivalent of your SKS front guard. It looked pretty robust and well made, and was the same price, so I ended up buying one. It fits well, and certainly looks better. Given that winter and the associated dark evenings/nights are...

I use Strava just to keep a check on my riding and map it out, and one particular hill that I went up yesterday and once previously, is 0.9mile long, has an elevation difference of 446ft and an average grade of 9.1% My time of 4.43 minutes has been identical to the second on both occasions, but...

I think that wrist supports would be better. Actually I reached the conclusion that whilst my clipless pedals are fantastic, I really should learn to ride awkward bits like that with the flat side. I was hardly moving, and just didn't have time to unclip before going down. I also...

DC, thanks for the link to the front mudguard. Todays ride proved to me that I need more gap between the guard and the tyre, so will order one up a bit later. :)

To be fair to celedep, they have started this thread in the 'off road' section and make no mention of using the bike on public roads. If people are going to moan every time that someone posts something such as this, what's the point of having an 'off road' section.

I'm really so glad that I got off my backside and bought the bike back in July. I reckon that cycling has to be the best hobby that I've ever taken up, and best of all is that other than odd sharp discomfort to my knees, cycling actually stops my otherwise constant pain. Today's ride was 28...

Now that sounds interesting. :) I know nothing about boats, but wouldn't mind seeing some photos/info about it. Did you do the conversion yourself?
