    Dowsing for Water

    That would seem pretty significant to me, especially over the period of a year. It would certainly be enough to cause untold damage in respect of possible property subsidence. If this were my property, I'd deal with it sooner rather than later. You might want to read this...

    Dowsing for Water

    So, by saying "no significant leak", does that mean that there still is one?

    Battery air pump

    And both less likely to fail. Ref the orbital sander, if you require a palm version, you can do a lot worse than buying a Makita BO4556. .

    eMTB owners photo and ride thread.

    I know a lad that bought one of those last year, and he really rates it. I haven't seen it in use, as he isn't local to me, but that is one heck of a lot of lights! The downside as I see it with all of these bright lights is if you happen to be following someone that doesn't have such a bright...

    Review to follow at some stage in the future, but yes I will have somewhere to keep my hand toasty warm in the winter. :D I have also broke my small postal scale, so can't currently weigh the battery pack. There is still plenty of time to get your own light up and running. :)

    A Plus Sized Headache!

    The honest answer is that I don't know if the repair kit would fix a hole that size, but from looking at Seths Bike Hacks and other such places on Youtube, I suspect that it would certainly have helped. You would also be surprised by what size holes that tubeless sealant can repair, so perhaps...

    A Plus Sized Headache!

    The most obvious way to deal with the issue, is to actually go tubeless, and make sure that you carry one of these tubeless repair kits. https://www.evanscycles.com/weldtite-tubeless-patch-kit-00103371 My side of sympathy extends to saying that I also snapped one of my favourite Pedro tyre...

    2017 KTM Fogo 271

    The guy that I rode with in Switzerland said that they refer to bikes as either "retro or bio" :D

    2017 KTM Fogo 271

    Leaving aside your childish remark, it would appear that in respect of being eight years old, any preceding and or subsequent years of education within the subject of English grammar were certainly wasted upon you. :rolleyes: Now to address the very odd statement that you have for some reason...

    My new ride

    Did you fit the superb Maxis tyres, or are they original equipment?

    2017 KTM Fogo 271

    Still a few more weeks before work eases slightly and I can get more riding time in, but this bike just keeps impressing me, or possibly the plus size wheel/tyre combination does. I can't get over the limpet like traction that the size affords, and my first decent wet weather ride last night...

    That is the battery pack for a Magicshine Eagle F3 that I have for long term review. :) Forum admin might be adding an accessories section, and I'm waiting to post more about it if or when that happens. What I will say though, is that I am extremely impressed with it. I had hoped to have used...

    Finally found a bit of time for a night ride.

    Wallet busting Cube

    I love the look of the Orbea Gain, but the Cube looks too bulky.

    If money was no object...

    For some reason I thought that you had a lovely red coloured Element.

    The price of things....

    You have probably done nothing wrong. :) I'm guessing that you are using sintered pads. They lack initial braking power which is exaggerated when the pads are cold/wet/fresh, and are also much louder. Perhaps try swapping to resin pads and see how you get on.

    The price of things....

    Which also leads to the saying that there is no such thing as a stupid question. .

    2017 KTM Fogo 271

    I think the combination that you have chosen is pretty much the perfect. You have chosen well. :) I'm also a fan of Sunrace cassettes, especially when used in conjunction with a KMC chain. I took a very slow speed tumble on the Fogo this afternoon, which I attribute to eMTB mode, but in taking...

    Hard tail or full sus

    Despite my absolute love and preference towards hardtails, that was the one aspect that I also didn't agree with. Having said that though, that aspect has changed completely with plus size, and the difference certainly isn't what it was.
