I’ll get roasted over the coals in the golf club thread.

A lot thinner and more liquid

My wife has been disappointed by the new formula not lasting at all well. I still have the older one.

New bbq has been ordered, it’s ridiculous private island gold club tackle.

But will take a few months to arrive. I blame @NotThamesWater

How does a continent fit into that shitty rag?

Four months ago

IIRC i posted it on the body mods thread ages ago.

As a trail builder/maintainer there is possibly higher rate of wear and we are looking at making our trails more durable. Possibly the bigger issue isn’t the weight but more the extra use as people can ride more in the same duration.

Out at Forest of Dean we are seeing over 50% e bikes but also the number of visitors is continually increasing, car park has had to expand again recently.

Also more people are buying lightweight emtbs as they handle much better. Looking at the new Orbea Rise it has pretty similar power to a lot of full fat emtbs but in a lightweight bike. My Specialized Levo sl is just over 17kg so not much different to the stunt jumper it is based on (a few kg heavier)

Yesterday we had a frustrating m̵e̵c̵h̵a̵n̵i̵c̵a̵l̵ electrical. 2 miles into a ride one persons bike spat out an error message e1010 or something similar. Waited 20 minutes for it still to not reset or resolve itself and had to return to the start.

So yes, e-mtbs give new potential failure modes. But when we got back to the trail centre I could still just put my bike into boost mode and get in a hot lap of one of the local trails.

Good. Despair away while others are enjoying themselves.

The Green Party?

And now working again.

@velocio links to the BBC don’t appear to be working through lfgss right now

Your link doesn’t work either!

There really are some terrible people in the world. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-hereford-worcester-68968718

A friend from Ballymena where it was filmed said the only inaccurate thing was the locals throwing rocks at the police cars. He said they hit the police cars much more frequently in real life. When I told him I was watching it he sent me a photo from his local shop where Happy Kelly got beaten up in the series.

I tend to find cotton socks become soaked and then cause blisters.

Cotton is a poor choice for a sports sock.

We upgraded from the Thule euro classic to the Epos

It is so much easier to use, we struggled to the get the arms and claws on the euro classic to grip large carbon frames.

It is quicker to use, much more secure and folds up when it is off the car.

Aah, the old “it was just a joke” defence

Fat shaming was ok because you were trolling?

I liked it when the woods weren't full of cunts. Then it was rich fit cunts, now it's all the rich fat cunts too.

All of the people I ride with have been riding off road for many years, in your view did they become cunts by buying an e mtb?

We come from a diverse range of socio economic backgrounds, a publican, retired squaddy, labourer, gardener, tech ceo, blacksmith, GP etc. So by no means all rich, but people who are willing to put money into their hobby. Many of our crew have been building and maintaining trails for over ten years.

Your aggressive tribalism and disdain for people who want to do things differently to your self speaks volumes.

And well done on the fat shaming.

32 mile round trip before riding? Fuck that noise! and the battery would be flat for the return

Cheers for the spoiler. I haven’t got that far! 🤣

Have just started watching Blue Lights. I had suspicions it was going to be lightweight but two episodes in find it more plausible than Kin which I had enjoyed but felt slightly over glamorised criminality.
