    you tube just shat on every small channel

    My youtube account has generated around £700 help for heroes, over the past 5 years, with around 640,000 views. It's not a lot over that timeframe. But it made me feel motivated to make videos and to be helping out in some small way.. and now they've killed that contribution in favour of the big...

    SJCAM

    Put it in your pc. Open a folder that shows all your drives on the left side of it. C: D: etc. Right click the drive that is the sdcard and select format. If it's in the cam, connect it to the pc via the usb cable and do the above, as it will still show as a drive.

    Shwalbe Tyre problem

    Hey! Who are you calling a cult! :D Why.. If I were ten years younger! :p It's been a good in-depth emotional discussion, if not a little tiring at times. Too often we get rubbered up the wrong way and our strengths are sapped. We should all learn to tread a bit more carefully in the future...

    Shwalbe Tyre problem

    The point I'm making is that accidents do happen and Schwalbe is obviously a very good make of tyre. If you were showing us a brand new tyre then you might have a point. But you weren't, so you don't. It's a minor bit of frayed wear on a tyre that has 1200 miles on the clock. A well used one...

    Shwalbe Tyre problem

    I said 1200 miles 'thus far'. They could be good for many, many more safe miles. You've agreed that it's possible that you damaged the tyre yourself. So, with it being a 5/5 rated tyre, it's feasibly possible that Schwalbe is not entirely at fault in this case. So yes, with their reputation, I...

    Shwalbe Tyre problem

    True. But it doesn't identify it as a Scwhalbe production issue either. Any tyre can suffer damage through fair wear and tear or accidental damage during it's lifetime. The explanation I suppose is that it's quite possible, as with the misfortune of experiencing a puncture, that you've just...

    Shwalbe Tyre problem

    So it could be 'self inflicted' damage then?

    Shwalbe Tyre problem

    Conclusion From the outside, the Schwalbe Energizer Plus and Schwalbe Marathon look like different tires, but on the inside, they appear to be almost the same. In the rolling resistance test, both tires perform exactly the same when compensating for the slightly higher weight of my sample of...

    Shwalbe Tyre problem

    Would you accept them being replaced, like for like? You could try asking them and see what they come back with. Maybe they'll see your point, if you outline your background, and make you a more acceptable offer than an explanation.

    Shwalbe Tyre problem

    Hi, speaking for myself, I've had not had this or any similar issues with the Schwalbes I've had and would probably buy from them again. Clearly you seem to think, perhaps with your background for fault finding, that it's a bigger issue than Schwalbe seem to think. Out of curiosity, what would...

    Riding in the rain

    The most I do is grease the chain and other moving parts that need it. I find that the rest drops off, once more mud is added. :cool:
