I think your missing the point, I was explaining why my kit gets damp and wondering how often others in a similar position wash there kit ?

I can do that but I'm not cycling for transport but for fun & exercise :oops: if I don't break a sweat I might as well be Sitting at home in front of the TV :p ;)

Washing your kit ? OK so cycling every day (& getting sweaty) I'm getting through my clean kit very quickly. Obviously all base layers get washed every ride, having several means I always have a clean base layer but what to do with outer layers ? my soft shell mid layer gets damp from the inside...

I've used shimano m315 hydraulic on a recent build, front and rear new for £36 off the bay, I can't see any reason why anyone would want to use mechanical brakes, unless they came fitted on a bike :rolleyes: even then I'd recomend switching to hydraulic ;)

I'm stuck in the de-electrified zone. My old cube/Bosch has gone and the new one due sometime in January. For now it's analogue only for me ;) I've put some mudguards on my pedel only bike and I'm enjoying a local circular ride, 8 to 10 miles of cycle paths and a few farm tracks, a bit muddy but...

Good question ? As I was typing " Binocular " my iPad assumed I was saying " binoculars " and automaticly corrected my typing. Ocular being the thing you look through, bi or mono denotes the quantity. Just like, cycle prefixed by bi, uni or tri. You wouldn't say bicycles or a pair of bicycles...

My limited alli experience (3 purchases) is positive, 2 corect items (RC car parts) and the third sent the wrong model monocular, the corect item resent and I got to keep the first monocular aswell :cool:

I don't have a smart phone and I wouldn't buy a bike that required one to work o_O

What a bummer, if it was stolen befor you picked it up, was it not stolen from the shop ? Are you out of pocket ?

OK you started it. What's orange and sound like a parrot A Carrot :p

:( It's now gone, hopefully the xena (the new owner) will enjoy it as much as I did ;) Sad to see it gone but I still have the anticipation of my new bike to keep me going :cool:

Horses mess, although unplesent it doesn't carry the same life threatening bacteria as dog eggs dose, endangering livestock and spreading disease. Although I haven't anything against horses personally, I still think there's somthing not quite right with any animal that defecates whilst still...

You had me thinking there for a while, I'd never heard of heli tape :rolleyes: in the past I've just used sticky backed vinyl in the key areas. I'm going for carbon print vinyl on the down tube & chain stay of the new bike, just 1 or 2 pound on flebay for an A4 sheet :cool: clear vinyl wherever...

Far too much rugby / wedding talk for what is after all a random thread for things to trivial for there own thread :rolleyes: More importantly (for me) within the next few hrs my recently advertised bike will be collected and I'll have money in my pocket, going towards the cube acid 500 I have...

Still not seeing it as bad news,o_O I wouldn't want to watch either let alone both :p

In what way bad news ? I'd rather be doing stuff Than watching other people doing stuff. Some people watch whilst others do ;)

I would consider a sensible offer, bare in mind I'm told the part exchange value is around £500 so let's not be silly ;)

“I know that you understand what you think You said, but I'm not sure you realize that what I read is not what You meant.

I can only comment on Cube's as that's what I have had/will have. I brought a Bosch/Cube in 2014 and have covered over 4500 pleasurable smiles, although it's still fun to ride I'm now selling it to buy the acid 500 (like what your looking at but a bigger battery) The2018 Acid has the all new...

I appreciate your position but as I've only just advertised the bike I may still find a more local buyer and traveling won't be an issue. Also I can't spend long periods driving without my sciatica playing up :(
