  Hey SwaTee,
  👋
  Yeah it looks like it’ll work.
  The lad is about 6’4” So it should work ok.
  He’s just started at Guildhall so almost up your ends.
  Maybe I can get him to come and pick it up.
  ( I think he’s totally clueless about bikes but I can get it operational for him).

  I’ll pm you.

  Fanx @Skülly

  Thanks chaps. The decathlon ones look pretty nasty.

  Any love for DHB?

  What’s the best value MTB shoe for spd cleats?
  My Sidi Dominators (44) are dead and I’m dead broke, similar last shape would be great.
  I use eggbeaters (bite me).

  Most used tool laying wood flooring will be a chop saw,
  a track saw and a good jigsaw are also pretty useful/indispensable (depending on your level of frustration at using the wrong tool for the job)
  I’ve never felt the need for a table saw.

  If you’re taking the skirting off (I recommend) to hide the edges then you could do the whole job with a jig saw and a hard-point.
  cutting the mouldings not the flooring (multi tool or hard-point and a scrap of flooring as a spacer and some skill) will give you a much cleaner result going around doors etc.
