    Keeping Up with Mates

    And when you ask for specific examples, you find little, and certainly no more than previous incumbents. Is Trump racist? More than probably. But you want to revisit the Clinton "super-predator" and Biden "beyond the pale predator" remarks? The difference is they did not get the 24/7 "this is...

    Keeping Up with Mates

    I don't know if you remember but a huge amount of Democrats wanted Bernie Sanders, but the "super-delegates" (my patrician vote is counted 8 thousand times than your plebeian vote) went to Hillary on a 45-to-1 basis. DNC insiders have written how she illegally used the party apparatus to bully...

    Keeping Up with Mates

    Especially finance, aka Wall Street (US) and "The City" (UK). The 2008 crash and depression was singularly cased by endemic financial fraud, and the ONLY people to get bailed out by the state were the ONLY people to have caused it. And they are still being bailed out (quantitative easing) and...

    Keeping Up with Mates

    Trump didn't create the fault lines he exposed them, they were already there. The warning signs have been there for many years, since the early 1990s at least, the division now was planned and executed by the top American universities. See "Higher Superstition" by Paul Gross and "Shadow...

    Keeping Up with Mates

    I don't agree with their politics but if their memes are anything to go by at least they have a sense of humour, so that's something. You could always compromise by being openly pro-DeSantis, he's basically a 1990s Democrat.

    New to both Emtbs and the forum - Hi.

    Personally I like the term "clockwork" bikes.

    Hamsterley forest over nighter

    Cannae take a couple of wee tents into the bush? One for you, one for the bike. Someone might pounce on a visible bike, but they do not tend to open tents.

    Forth of July....

    Aye. But I got to meet my relatives who fought and suffered in that, and I know too much of the history to let the revisionists piss & shit on their graves. But I've deleted the post because, you know, mountain biking. Putting 2Wheels and Tubs on Ignore will suffice.

    Expected Range on Orbea Rise (lighter rider)

    You need to make sure you're doing like-for-like on the tyre setup too. I put heavier tyres on, plus inserts, and lower pressure, and my range dropped by what seems to be half, perhaps a bit less but still.

    Forth of July....

    Some of us, aye. It'll be hotdogs & Twinkies for my tea tonight. As for my opinion on Roe v Wade, well, obviously it depends on how deep the water is.

    New Stilus owner….tyre recommendations and paint film

    I have a Stilus v2... after recommendations here I moved from Smart Sam (the v2 defacto tyres, Shwable themselves say SS are good on hardpack and mix, but not soft, so okay fair enough) to Eddy Current and it is a joy, have started my first true "shredding" on my muddy Scottish blue and red trails.

    Newbie in Scotland

    Don't be shy about looking at the Decathlon bikes e.g. Stilus. They're cheap and Bosch and (really) made by Lombardo.

    Trail Animals

    I got to see one in Old Kilpatrick (Glasgow) last week. So rare! Was also up the OK Braes at midnight last week, very wet, the place was COVERED in tiny frogs on the Slacks. So I went very slowly, avoided them all, and went home. Don't want to crunch a frog!

    Cheap 27.5 wheels... but for road/gravel use?

    I admit as a n00b I might be silly but I'm basically new to "proper" biking (as distinct from a town runaround). And yes I'm heavier, and older but I do NOT ride like a granny. I wish! Have you seen "North Shore Betty"? Seventy three and she definitely has skills I do not. I admit it. I hope...

    Cheap 27.5 wheels... but for road/gravel use?

    Thanks. My pressure might be too low but it's about 25 (Tannus, tubed). I'll put a bit more in and test it. Tannus should protect the rims, isn't burping part of being tubeless? When I lift the front or rear of the bike and drop it, the tyre hits the road with no bounce, just a clingy thud. I...

    Cheap 27.5 wheels... but for road/gravel use?

    I've changed my tyres from Smart Sam to Eddy Current, plus added Tannus inserts, and let the PSI down. Off road, with the e-engine on, the difference is astounding and I love it.; but on the road (without assistance) to something that's like trying to pedal a motorcycle with a flat tyre. So I...

    Not yet, a guy keeps asking for permission but doesn't get it. A great read is from this, erm, removals company: https://www.greenmoveuk.com/post/wolves-in-scotland
