Smashing it throughout.

So much love for that!

You were gracious enough to set up Dignitas, for which we are eternally grateful. Next step is enforcing visits for certain people

Any worthwhile HS33 pads tend to be noisy for commuter work. Best bet would be to get a front disc.

Nice.

That's far too sensible

Awesome! Stoked or you dude - k24 turbo next?

Woop! Looks tidy Alex!

@trialsmax04 doesn't frequent these parts much nowadays, but covers more miles on the bike each year than the 12 active TF users do their cars combined. A lot of it comes down to time in the saddle, miles in the legs

Nice!

If anyone replies with "Coust pads and a grind" I'm sending screenshots to HMRC so they can stop your state benefits. One way trip to Switzerland for that crowd.

Quick, someone call the Mansfield Mandem! (or is TB the closest we have these days?)

I'll see what I can do about that for the next one chaps.

Knock the lost earnings off the rent. What a cunt.

Oh what a fanny

Nomex of course, in case your PC catches fire and you can't see it because of the headset.

Brakes sound very weird. If there's fluid leaving the system back into the res constantly then something must be taking its place, and that'd most likely be air which would suggest either an ineffective bleed or a leak elsewhere. If you've checked over lines/connections and they all seem ok (I'd expect the fluid to leave entirely if this was the case, usually) then perhaps try rebleeding - EziBleed/other pressure bleeder is the way to go, but you will want to actuate the pedal as part of the process and don't forget to bleed the master cylinder last too. It's possible to bleed the ABS system though I think you need VCDS.

This seems like an appropriate place for it...

Great stuff man - you'll love it. Bargain on the kit too! I've been a handful of times, mosty with family though I managed to blag my way to the Royal Navy ski (& snowboard) champs a few years back which was a good laugh. I tend to stick to boards, though on the RN trip figured it'd be a handy time to grab some free ski lessons - sketchily did some reds the first morning but switched back to a board at lunchtime and spent the week riding powder which was wicked. @haydon_peter is probably TF's most qualified snow bunny these days, though I don't think he's been on here in the best part of a decade by now.

I recognise that frame but can't think for the life of me who it originally belonged to! Looks like a fun toy

Didn't realise they were so cheap - that's used frame territory. Nice! I do live on the edge of actual Dartmoor too. Hmm...

That looks great, Mike. Have been considering building up a hardtail to ride this summer instead of the Stumpy and you're not helping the urge!

How f**king dare you.
