Bush Rummager 3,744 Posted December 29, 2020 Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 Talking of mtb's.. i was out playing in the snow yesterday in the Lakes and some crazy fool had taken their bike for a walk over the lump below!! St Sunday crag it's called. I only just managed to walk over it!! ... fair play to them though. I would have taken a pic of the tracks.. but my 3 pairs of gloves weren't coming off for anything!! When i got there i bump into a couple of stray bitch hounds.. They knew what they were doing heading back to HQ the scenic way.. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They were being fed as we passed later on... 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bush Rummager 3,744 Posted January 14, 2021 Report Share Posted January 14, 2021 Anyone still getting out riding?? I've recently had a shoulder opp and wearing a sling so no biking for a while here. I'm missing it tbh. It's so easy to take such little things for granted... until it's taken away from you. Applies to lots of things in life i suppose. Found these on my phone. Had a bad spell of coming off few months back. I'm 44 now and don't bounce back up as quickly as i did in my teens!! I thought f**k it here... and had 5 minutes whilst i was down!! Nowt really but if you can't have a laugh at yourself it's time to call it a day i reckon!! 2 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Looks a nice spot that with some belting views. I know one of older lads here had a bad fall and did his back in. 2 month off on rock bottom sick pay. He didn't seem that bothered to be honest and was back at it as soon as he was right! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No assholes discontinued it when they decided it was better to let the baby’s umbilical cords dry naturally Zi used it on the kids when they cut or scraped their selves , on myself and on the dogs if they had wounds .

steve66 3,078 Posted February 23, 2021 Report Share Posted February 23, 2021 If you go tubless , is it something you can do yourself or does your bike have to go into a shop ?, weathers warming up time to get the bike out Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They charged me £40. That was for the rim tape, valves, sealent and labour. Ran those tyres for 2 more years and they never failed. So it's well worth going tubeless. I could have done it myself Steve.. it was jus a faff i didn'tfancy at the time. I've since replaced those tyres myself and it was straight forward enough. A bit strange though trying to seat the tyre on the rim without an innertube particularly inflated to stretch the tyre out. I inflated them with just regular track pump too... you just have to pump faster than normal to get the bead to seal at the beginning. Once the tyre is pumped up, obviously having put your new valve and rim tape on, deflate the tyre.. tip some sealant in (stans) rotate the tyre so the gap is at the 9 o'clock position leaving the sealant sat at the bottom of the tyre.. reseat the tyre.. pump like mad.. give it a good slosh around it will seal any little leaks etc. Leave over night and all beig well they should be ready to go!! I'm sure there's some videos on YouTube if my ramblings don't make much sense!! 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
