29er white industries single speed specific 32H disc hubs built onto stans 325 rims, currently built with specialised butcher and purgatory 3.2/3.3 tubeless tyres
But these wheels can hold their own for all - mountain-bike riding or a bombproof SS CX setup / touring disc wheel / gravel bike /commute setup for skinny or fat road tyres.

I would keep but i've skimmed down my bike collection and can't justify these in the spares box!

£250 couriered to your door

Now I really really want a holiday that involves a pool table by a pool - this advertising works a treat

found this on my phone this morning! clearly got caught snoozing with the little one

Not the pimp ones specifically, all defenders... my insurance broker told me they were the third most nicked car in the country and no surprises considering you can remove the doors with an allen key from the outside without even fussing with the locks
very easy to strip down and resell, so much so that the insurance on a defender was double that of my G-klasse !

MOT today, both rear tyres failed with deep cuts in the sidewall and seeing as i was planning on getting away from the mud terrain and onto something slicker for the road i've had to drop £515 for all 5.

Merry christmas to me. :(

do it

Oh yeah and in other tweaks...

• new shocks all round, new rear springs
• rust repair and new rear door fitted (463)
• subwoofer fitted
• MOT december so getting new rear fog lights to pass (old one was on old door)
• new tyres chosen - fit december slightly smaller (32") and slightly slicker
• wheels will be refurbed to satin black
• custom steel rear towing bumper being fabricated at the mo, fit before christmas
• electric fan operated oil cooler fit December ready for next summer
• replace rear numberplate to square type so need to fit light for it

Also roof tent is coming off for winter, all this is happening as baby on the way beginning of Jan and Kelly won't let me do so much faffing i'm sure! 'Classic' cars are money pits.

So been tinkering with the Gelandewagen and thought people might be interested...
since moving my intercooler inside the engine rather than dangling underneath the car which involved removing the oil cooler it's been running a bit odd, not as much grunt as i'd like.
Also on the motorway when i push past 70mph for too long the engine heats up pretty quickly but cools as soon as i take my foot off the pedal...

been 6k miles so do a oil change : not bad, feels a bit smoother
alt belt tensioner is rattling so replacing the shock bushing : definitely quieter
fuel filter : chugs a little less

decide that my air filter for the turbo intake could be working poorly due the fan in front of it creating turbulence so buy a crappy eBay air filter tubing kit to redirect from there to somewhere else. Only cost £25 figure i can experiment and buy a proper one if it works
pop up the bonnet, fitting it properly will require lots of tinkering so just pop the old filter off and put this new on to see if that makes a difference before rerouting when i have a few hours spare.

holy shit. incredible.

mpg gone from 22 ish to almost 30
can hear turbo boosting up, and the waste gate opening with a satisfying ssssshhhhhhh noise when i drop off the accelerator - loads of turbo flutter at low speeds
less black smoke when i floor it
lots of whizzy speed with minimal turbo lag
temperature stays low whatever i do

and best of all it spins its wheels from standing!

so, yeah - if you have an air filter you can clean DO IT. It's transformed my ride, just need to get a decent one that will have the balance of air intake and filtration protection

that was quick!

I've got some spare black DZR Minna's going spare in 44/9.5
worn 2 times in dry weather so look like new - £95 cheapest online so how about half price at £42.50 posted?

nah i just chose from the metallics at bob jackson and it came back much more green than the swatch looked, the klein green is my ultimate

agreed - that green is ace, i would also like to know what it is - i tried it once and the green came out way too bright, i was quite disappointed (bob jacksons)

if you drive up another car then apparently yes!

in that case, something cheapish and efficient and fun - honda civic / vw golf / mini cooper then something vintage, a joy to drive that makes excellent noises but also cheap to run / maintain - vintage bmw, vintage mercedes, vintage mazda rotary engine anything car ?

oh wait - that's just what i want to do. :D

get a w460 g-wagen :D, you won't lose any money and it will be huge amounts of fun

great investment as they'll only go up but check out the different models as some can be lemons - or if you have bags of cash you can get a modern version...
