    Nitros oxide being banned

    We can always defer to the nice man from LV-426, I suppose.

    Nitros oxide being banned

    Nobody is seriously suggesting that the climate does not change, that is self evident. It always has. Nor am I here as what you term a ‘climate denier’. Believe what you want. I’d respectfully suggest that it’s just not as clear cut it is being presented. A little from history:

    Nitros oxide being banned

    Ad hominem attacks are usually seen as a weak response by those wishing to divert attention away from the veracity of ‘the message’. Fortunately, they tend to be seen for what they are. Anyway, let’s laugh our way back to Nitrous oxide, lol!

    Nitros oxide being banned

    More generally (and off topic) - at the levels we have around the globe, CO2 is an entirely beneficial and indeed an essential gas - plants need it to grow, they expel oxygen in turn as part of the photosynthesis cycle. The idea of “reducing atmospheric carbon levels” is plain nuts, and...

    Review Knipex!!!

    They are top ’quality’, in a world where the word is bandied about so much it tends to lose its meaning on many people.

    Loading bike into the Van.

    These are available singly or in pairs, in various lengths. I use a 5’ one for my electric unicycle (49kg) - one half slides inside the other, and is secured either open or closed position by a ball detent. I know this won’t solve your front wheel issue, but it’ll get the bike into the van, from...

    Impact of California rain on my local trail

    Try explaining why the carbon dioxide is heating up the planet, in relation to the errors you see in this: Forget the messenger, concentrate on debunking the efforts of those scientists doing the work, perhaps? And some context to assist, between the ‘greenhouse’ properties of CO2 vs water:

    Impact of California rain on my local trail

    Well, we don’t have that long to wait to find out either way, it may equally be the ‘consensus agenda machine’ and it’s minions who end up with frozen egg on their face too, but in the meantime maybe we could discuss the implications of Dr Habibullo Abdussamatov et al’s work on the reducing...

    Impact of California rain on my local trail

    Milankovich cycles - no, not a new EMTB maker, but they’ll certainly be making a comeback in the coming decades; check it out! (the last 5-10 minutes are fairly pertinent)

    Bosch Powertube 625w range

    May as well do it on a normal bike, I can’t see you doing 50miles (+/-90km) on a emtb without considerably more pain than gain, I’d be pushed to do half that in the hills here, even being frugal with the ‘juice.’

    Dogs, what would you do in this situation then ?

    High velocity lead injection, to all four legged assailants, no reprieve, no exceptions. Report the incident and owners to the police, and put the matter in the hands of your solicitors. Irresponsible/inconsiderate, ‘entitled’ and ‘lifestyle’ dog owners are on the rise, and are a menace to...

    Aggressive dogs

    The white men came, and brought their problems with them. £100 licence fee per annum plus registration by chip should be mandatory, this would reduce ‘lifestyle’ dog ownership (dog walker service people fill up a vanful, head for the forest with the mutts of the time-poor who are too busy to...

    Levo Gen 3 Andreani engine guard

    Some feel it may be expensive; set against the cost to repair the damage it is designed to mitigate or prevent, I’d tend to view it as a worthwhile investment - nobody likes to see a “grown up” emtb user cry…🤔🤣
