Found a spare seatpost shim, so you can move a 25.4 to a 27.2 so if you run a super short BMX post then the Thomson has other fitments.

Say £150 into London, £140 meet at Ashford International.

Last day will be August 3rd (Saturday) could deliver on the 4th but will be doing final packing for storage and moving house.
:)

Chest wader at Dungeness equal sudden death as your on a ledged shingle beach with strong under tows and deep drop off's..... :)

Might get leg waders depending on nature of lakes, rivers in Shropshire where i am off too. For now sticking with wellies and close to shore :)

This...

Equals... I can hide a body in the Thames :)

This….

Just looked up the scrap value of lead as i am clearing things before moving house.

Cherry picked a stack of lead weights to keep, bundled 20 more up with a rod and reel and still have 30+ kilos of weights and pipe to make weights :) the crap you accumalte over time.

£0.90 a kilo at the moment at the scrappie.

@fredtc hopefully series 2 coming soon.

I reckon a spinning rod would have been better, but i opted to go fly over spinning for when i move as Fly will be more viable inland.

Didn't see the beach caster's catching anything. Need a dead still day and try again, i had to fight the wind today which was collapsing my cast as i tried to launch forwards causing the hook to contact me. Gave up before it became asking someone to use my pliers to extract a hook from the back of my head :)

Desert's are harsh, but 2 pubs and 2 caffs make things bareable down there :)

Just have to trudge across and find my car or get stranded at a pub and call wife for rescue :)

(I escaped)

Being school holidays a fair few fishing today, mid week.

The container caff was open and doing a roaring trade...…. scene of a forum ride out last year for lobster sandwich's.

Not much seemed to be going on fish wise, no gulls dive bombing, no seals or dolphins, no sharks etc etc so blanking on fish was expected.

Clear skies and costal equals extra rad's and nothing to do with the nuclear power station at Dungeness. UV rad's where at quick and crispy setting, after an hour of battling the wind I gave up to return to a fridge of peppery cheese, smoked salmon and chardonnay.

Catch Tally.
Fish 0
Hat 1
Back of head 1
Left arm 1

Concluded that a fly set up was not working with the gentle gusting sea breeze and maybe the distraction of a insta model who I thought was in the buff trying to selfie as waves broke over her. (no I didn't take pictures of that)

The Michael Moorcock novels of the 60s & 70's referenced a cross chanel bridge in a reversed technolgy society. (gone full tech back to a semi fuedal life due to over reach of tech that collapses and takes society with it. Bit like turning the internet off and watching everything burn)
We got a tunnel instead but the vision for what if was there. Maybe fuelled by the prospect of the Humber and Severn bridges back in the day.

Milliseconds is still mark of measurement. Was curious.

to think only... what 8 years, 5 years ago (can't remember when they wound down) you could book a data logging day with K9 industries and this was bolt on logger units to fork and shock and a fella on a computer translating the data after each test run, something for the serious racers to do on the quiet :)

Go back even further and Mojo did similar for there products, and further back again to the Sunn Chippie race team who took a Formula 1 approach and tested all the things and pretty much won all the races.
Now you have dinky do-dads and a phone app and can do it yourself cheaper. :)

Never seen the read out tables before for suspension tuner.

What does distance measured in "ms" equate to ? meters-per-second ? or an odd phrase for cm.

The running tally of air time must be the next strava :) and Deep compression incidents used to be called casing it badly, flat landing, hucked it, or bottomed out badly :)

crashing implies getting Rad.

easy said not easy to do :)

Not so tight they cut blood flow, more tight enough to not rotate when pedaling.
Depending on type and fit it's not unheard of for pads to rotate on impact, as long as they stay in place (as in elbow/forearm don't move up or down your arm) you still get protection.

Like helmets you really want to test fit first. Dianese gear never fitted me, regarded by many as the best, Raceface/Roach armour like a glove on me :)

Box details.

Triple butted radness, Jim Davage used to ride one of these and he's a fecking Giant :)

Oh and stickers to break any resistance and cover up my scuff mark :)

(nearly forgot the stickers, probs not very PC these days )

Left side of top tube is a scuff from my leg armour.

Dropouts and slotted caliper mounts.

I have run gears before with an adapter, you can get DMR/Gusset etc etc chain tugs with mech hangers.
Rear axle spacing is standard 135mm.

Seat stay bridge, loads of room for fat rubber.

BB, chainstays. Frame takes standard cartridge MTB bottom brackets or external cups. No ISCG tabs on bb shell.

More pics, post clamp,post and chains.
