I've got a set of hope trials for sale if you want a different brake?

I've watched Sisu and Renfield recently, both a bit silly and filled with excessive violence, but both we're kinda fun too. The new Evil Dead movie was pretty good too

Spent Sunday replacing the auxiliary water pump and hoses on the S4 as i had a coolant leak and could see residue near the pump, why Audi put it under the inlet manifold in the v of the engine i'll never know. Lots of scraped knuckles later and it was in the old pump came out in 2 pieces, so was definitely dead. Bled the coolant system and took it for a quick spin. Still have a leak at the front of the engine 🙃 not that you can really see anything without removing the front bumper and rad pack. Also had to chuck a couple new PS4s on the rear as i'd picked up a screw This car is looking to break me morally and financially! Still love it mind

Charlie is ridiculous, just looks so comfortable on the bike, so much control and power for days!

I think it's a wall hanger at this point.

I'd be very surprised if you could fix this, can see the manufacturer arguing it's been over-tightened too sadly. I certainly wouldn't run it as it is!

Shiiiit, that's really not good, some school boy error stuff there! Surely it's his responsibility to cover any difference in repair/replacement costs that his insurer will pay out for and not yours? Is it registered as a camper/ converted van and not a commercial vehicle?

Mine have been similar, sometimes feel solid and nice, other times they'll put nearly to the bar. Initially i thought it was the bleed, but i've had several people bleed it including myself and no change. I then noticed that my poorly manufactured frame had a slightly misaligned caliper mount; I physically can't mount the caliper parallel to the disc rotor. I was considering a new frame, with the hope the mount wouldn't allow the brake to be perfectly aligned. But this makes me think the brake could be the issue!

Sweet lil video that, rocks are awesome How are you finding dual disc? Tan wall looks all good and if it works that's all that matters right?

Maestro Pro C or X carbon bike, they do a 20" and a 26" (as ridden by Andrei in that video). They're incredibly difficult to get hold of! The tri-lite facebook page has a bit more info.

Such a shame that Echo vanished, they were putting out what appeared to be some quality products. Be good if someone like Extension can fill the void and offer something different to the likes of Jitsie, Clean or Crewkerz. Is that a 1"1/8 headtube or tapered?

Spotted this on the Extension website, nice to see a new 20" bike out on the market. Some good features and geo seems to fit in with the norm, be interested to see a price...

That's a fairly sizeable weight saving for the cost outlay, i guess the main drawback is it's labour intensive = cost, if you can find someone to do it for you. I'll have to do some reading and look into it. I mean i've happily gone to the extent of replacing everything I can with Ti parts, so rope spokes is probably good value in comparison!

Loving the colour combo! Whats the cost of this sort of spoke set up and is it that much lighter than steel spokes? How come you're going with a Pro4 and not a Pro 5? Like the idea of running a freehub on my mod.

Do agree, really impressed with my Tech4 Trials brakes. What's the issue with the Pro IV hubs? I was considering getting one modded to 116mm spacing when my FW dies.

Bike looks awesome, apart from the forks Have you tried it with the current headset and the Crewkerz forks for comparison?

You can probably space the cages and jockey wheels to make it more compatible with wider chains. The main issue you might face is the clearance of the top jockey wheel to the larger 18t sprocket you're looking at running.

The Tech4 lever has a smaller 9.5 mm piston, rather than the older levers that we're 10 mm. So a small change

I wont be looking elsewhere, Plusnet now do full fibre to the home. Which as you don't need a landline works out the same sort of price for 5x faster speeds than i'm currently getting. Bit of a no brainer really

I've been with Plusnet for 7 years for exactly the same reason. Good value for money, good customer service and a good product. Only looking else where as I can now get full fibre at our new address.

Looks so nice Alex, have you got any photos of clips of the repair you did with the crack? Would love to see that too Little wheeled bikes rule!

That's really crap makes a massive difference to what you pay, hope you find a good deal. We're really lucky, we bought our house in February this year and got a 5 year fixed rate at 1.9%, hoping interest rates are back near that when i come to renew.

Rates have risen dramatically for loans, not so sure about mortgages; we were waiting a few weeks for some quotes to sort our roof out and in that time the interest rate on loans to pay for it the work jumped from 4.5 to 7.8%

Nice to see you're enjoying the new bike, the silence of discs rule!
