Hitting Delamere Forest tomorrow on a recce for work... Anyone on here been there? Anything i should look out for, or should i just save the train fare/time and stick to local NCN routes?

^ from what you've written it suggests filtering on left is not best practice, but also not something that should be addressed as a never-ever technique.
Usual comments about assessing local conditions and risk at time of decision making - i.e. Do i / we filter left or not right here and now - apply. Common sense really, no?

Nice one J. Bedtime music, catcha soon. A.

Your host has very good taste!
Cheers. He was telling us how he plays Lee Perry tracks to the 18yr old Metal heads he's teaching music tech to in their 1st yr at uni.

the bag in these pics has big capacity:
dunno if it has a name or code though, just came with the bike.
edit - it's pretty water-resistant but not waterproof
-
Host for dinner last night played Sipple out Deh - Lee Perry
This track stood out:
YouTube - Junior Murvin - Police & Thieves
Have ordered my copy...

Also saw this in chorlton... 14" wheels I think...
Spotted this also. Really nice! Brompton I think?
-
also going in Subvertisements...

He insisted it was in his contract, or he wouldn't have ridden...repeated it in Ghent too...
Blimey... Did he have a separate dressing room full of blue peanut m&m's and champagne too? A riders rider!

- Weekend Project: Mini Bike Light[/ame]Probably a repost, almost certainly belongs in epic fail for the patronising intro. Might have a go at making a light though, gotta be cheaper than a 3-led Knog (frog?).

Word of warning on the goggles stuff, make sure you follow the instructions properly and rinse if it says rinse. A Tri club mate was left unable to see for a week or two as she used goggle stuff and didn't rinse, ended up in her eyes and it's not nice.

I think it just helps break out some dissolved air, if you did manage to de-oxygenate the molecules you'd end up with just hydrogen.
Yes, of course, my meaning being releases dissolved oxygen, not affecting the actual molecules.

Ordinary as in 'penny farthing' as opposed to 'safety' bicycle with a diamond frame.
Ordinaries were fixed and the gear you pulled was determined by your inside leg measurement, circumference of the large driving wheel gave you gear inches.
^ an Ordinary hasn't any gear. The pedals are attached to the front wheel hub. This is direct drive.
Gear Inches are a measure of the size of wheel you'd need for a direct drive equivalent for one complete rotation of the pedals.

I've tried this and it didn't work. I believe you have to used distilled water and in some cases special trays or a slow cooling process.
Oh well, back to the Perrier for me then...

Weds:
Feb:
Cable tie snow tyres look cool - do they work well?
For clear ice cubes, boil the tap water first. De-oxygenates it you see so no bubbles. And don't play on frozen lakes kids.
-
Just been rolling alongside the mersey transpenine trail out in twilight then back in the dark. Day old crunchy snow + not much light up front = Great fun. :)
-
what size quill stem? Diameter / length / clamp size.
I'm pretty sure I've got one in the spares box, but if it ain't suitable you'd be wasting your money.
-
Lol - just tuned in again, this page has gone very random.
It is a very big pain in the arse trying to get it sold. Might ebay it :S

^ I've used the Park Tool patches with no probs, just ensure to stick on flat - any small crease or air bubble seems to increase chance of failure. Thought they'd be a 'get home' option, but have left them in place on road and mtb tubes with no long term failure.
To chip in on earlier handbags:
I let the vulcanising solution dry a bit. Not aware of any brands that are to be used 'wet'. -
I took the inbred out and went over southern cemetery, houghs clough, alex park etc to get to town. Was during the heavy stuff so riding fresh snow with a large tyre footprint was great.
Some melt early pm then more snow made roads trickier this eve, the mains are mostly fine off these it's getting sketchy.
Tomorrow will be interesting...
