Marketing is a powerful thing.

I normally drink my coffee at the same time as brushing/curling/showering TBF.

I've always wanted a toilet/sink/shower combo.
Would never have to worry about a national toilet paper shortage ever again.

They dont call me a problem solver for nothing.

get one of these and just keep the old Merc parked in the back.

win/win.

Surely common sense should dictate that If you dont like bikes with fully integrated cabling, you dont buy a bike with fully integrated cabling.

Fuuuuck! That’s a savage scratch! So gutted for you mate!

No quick fix for that seeing how deep it is either.... right through the number panel on the door too! 😫

Gimme a shout if you want to borrow any of my Rupes polishers and compounds to try and take the edge off it and make it a little less obvious!

Needs a Trump 2020 bumper sticker.
Its like a 2020 Jimney, but ugly.

Too busy buying all the available UK stock of MTB's!

Independent Fabrications now importing cheap open mould frames and branding them as Indy Fab. WTF.

Cycling company in not being deadly serious and actually having a bit of fun shocker.

I have a plain black with white armband lightweight shadow jacket, I really like it. Deffo the best rain jacket ive ever had. Do they not do it in normal plain colours anymore?

Like I said, we’re not best mates though.

He was still taller than me.

Masquerading.

I did get beaten by him many times at Herne Hill during my short lived, yet highly successful track racing career over a decade ago tho.

I have no doubt he wouldn’t be where he is today if it wasn’t for my key role in his Long term career development plan.

I think I’m possibly the only person on this forum that isn’t best mates wit Tao.

There were top of my list, as they look awesome, but from what I’ve read they are absolutely terrible on road in the wet, and are very bad for aquaplaning.

It’s some kind of electronically controlled diff - not totally sure TBH! I don’t think it’s a viscous one though. There is no way to control it manually, it’s fully controlled by the terrain response system. It’s a Discovery 3.

My front tyres on the Disco could do with replacing. I currently have Yokohoma Geolanders all round. The rears are in much better shape than the fronts however, and apear to have a lot of life left in them.
I could just get two new Geolanders for the front, but after having a a go at some light spur of the moment green laning at the weekend, and finding out that taking the Disco off the beaten path just for the hell of it is actually really good fun, I'm thinking of getting some all terain tyres that are slightly more agressive, as the geolanders were slipping a bit in wet mud.... although doing this would mean 4 new tyres instead of two.

I dont want anything too OTT, as vast majority of mileage will be on road, although most of that will be on the shitty lanes of Somerset/Wiltshire, which could basically be classed as off road in the winter months.

Pirelli Scorpion ATR or Scorpion Allterain Plus look like a good choice to me.

Anyone have any tips/knowledge bombs?

Thanks!

Whats the status with Tao's Ineos conract currently? Am I right in thinking he signed a two year deal in 2018?....... has he renewed with Ineos for next year as yet?

Really hope his performance in this Giro will very deservedly make a huge difference in the kind of salary he can demand next year if he hasnt signed a contract already!!

Similar aituation for Richie Porte after his podium at the Tour...... I'm pretty sure his Ineos contact for next year was agreed before that performance?

I have very little knowledge of this kind of thing, but am intrigued to know if a rider that gets a huge and unexpected result like a GT podium (or hopefully win!) very soon after signing a new contract is able to renegotiate and demand a considerably higher salary?

Yes!
