  1. I can imagine that the spoke / valve alignment in that picture is giving anyone who regularly builds wheels nightmares.
  2. Thanks to everyone for their comments. Appreciate it! It was a good couple of days, and glad i got some half decent stuff done given the mileage we put in. @Ross McArthur, i do like how much detail you watch videos in. I also like how it riled you up enough to comment on it. Must do more of it. On the ender, I'd suggest its not as big as you'd maybe think, but it is the biggest I've done, and off the brick wide wall, I was pretty pleased with it.
  3. I really enjoyed that! I think it was the music, but I thought it had some Reet Merschat vibes going on.
  4. CZECK AARON BROWNE!! Nice riding Jan! Enjoyed the vid
  5. Looks absolutely normal to me. You'd struggle to get the 'kick' through the pedals if it didn't start higher than the rear foot. I think you're over thinking things.
  6. So my understanding if you're self employed is the same as the extract below from https://www.nidirect.gov.uk/articles/how-your-situation-affects-your-workplace-pension; Self-employed or a ‘single person director’ You do not have to enrol yourself in a workplace pension. However, it’s a good idea to think about what income you’ll have to live on when you retire. You might want to put some plans in place for your later life, such as starting a personal pension, if you haven’t already done so. You could choose a personal or stakeholder pension available from various pension providers. Or you may wish to use the National Employment Saving Trust (NEST). NEST is a trust-based workplace pension scheme developed to suit most people. You should consider seeking independent financial advice. Alternatively, you can contact the Money Advice Service or the Pensions Advisory Service. Money Advice Service Pensions Advisory Service You are a ‘single person director’ if you are a director of a company and the only worker in that company.
  7. THanks for all the feedback guys! Trying to find an old school aracde machine in Aberdeen proved difficult, but glad we got there. @Stephen Morris, I did laugh at the soft close door slam. #acting Appreciate any feedback, and here's a wee bump for others to go ahead and watch it
  8. Nice G. Always enjoy your tech lines
  9. Tylers video was such good riding, but felt a little bit underwhelming. i don't know if it was the lac of riding sounds that annoyed me. Boys got skills though. Ollie Shields video was ace too. Rail riding skills for days
  10. I've been out riding quite a bit recently, and still enjoying pushing myself to do things outside my comfort zone. Adam Mcguire asked if I'd be interested in making a raw edit, but eventually had enough content to make a full video. So here is the result. Happy to hear any comments good or bad Massive thanks to Inspired and to Tarty Bikes for their support as ever. For those interested song is - When I'm Small by Phantogram
  11. The epitome of a TGS edit that video, Mark! I still watch it regularly. So good. EDIT: Sorry I realise I've gone a little off topic with the below...sorry Mike. I'm sure it'll come in time, and it's not easy trying to stand out from a saturated market. There is some cheese in the video below, but Fabio's latest v-log had some legit sh*t in it, so much so that with enough proper filming, some of Fabio's lines could have gone in a full edit. However, anything over edited, cheesy (such as trying to get caught by speed cameras) can get in the bin. That said, some of the guys I ride with seem to watch all the vlog stuff, so I guess they're the market rather than a grandad like me...
  12. @forteh nice! I'm surprised its still going after that amount of time! Glad its still doing you well though.

  15. Tim Pratt would be proud, Ross!
  16. Its hidden away just west of that link mark sent, the exact location is https://goo.gl/maps/yLvzL6GgLH82
  17. I find that a velcro strap is a better option than a zip-tie can be re-used many, many times obviously, Its more useable when you're transporting the bike* Doesn't scratch the paintwork as much as a zip-tie when it moves *as i don't want to remove hose and re-bleed, I remove the caliper / adapter and velcro this to the fork just under the crown meaning i can remove my bars and stem and you're less likely to have hose problems.
  18. Cheers for filming all day buddy! Appreciate it. Good little vid, good little ride
  19. HAHA. Are you posting from mobile? All i am doing is copy and pasting the link into the Reply and it auto embeds for me on my laptop...(i.e. don't click the 'link' button above, just ctrl+c / ctrl+v the link into the reply)
  20. To be honest, I only questioned MCR because i've not seen a lot of footage from there, so wasn't sure of the quantity / size of the spots. Ol' Marky boy has put me right, and its fairly central for the whole UK, so I'm in. I'll be keen whether I'm in Bristol or Aberdeen!
  21. Good idea, where ever it is has to have enough spots to keep everyone of all abilities happy. So not sure if MCR is that place? I would have found out but Luke told me to go to Salford Quays, not MCR...
  22. No man, just a group ride that was organised on Facebook (and in this post here I guess). It's been a grand ol' day with TGSers and Street Monkeys riding together in perfect harmony. EDIT: Hopefully it can become a regular thing
