Pic of the Day

[The Hodge]

It is really easy to align....though I tend to scrub away the yellow Maxxis Yellow along with a few other details about which tire I am running such as 3C or Exo+/DD

I use that as a guide as to who to ride with. If they can't be bothered with the details, they will have problems on our rides, which I do not want to deal with.

Hilarious ...but why do I get the feeling you're not joking ..

We’re going to have to check all the valve / tyre alignments on our next ride Hodge and have serious words with whoever fails the ‘perfect’ criteria

Nice coastline up there in Finland.

It's probably due to global warming, when even the palm trees have started to grow

Pity they don't do boats eh.

A digital overlay or cardboard template could help with the problem. I don’t think the Moderators need to get involved …unless it gets outta-hand. We know they’re busy with less important things.

If we regulate and help others, we can avoid any naming ‘n’ shaming, or embarrassing exposure, such as the picture above .

I got a couple of Specialized Cannibals the other day to try for winter... and if I line the CANNIBAL text up in the centre of the valve, the SPECIALIZED text at the top is off centre on ONE of them (at one side). I was tempted to take it back to the shop and get it exchanged for a non 'faulty' one

I stopped using Maxxis tyres because of the horrid yellow logo
OEM get white... but I could never find 2 OEM tyres for sale in the compounds I wanted!

Count me in, and I am even more rebellious! I was so proud of myself to fit my first 29" tyre on my own, I totally forgot about aligning. Viewers discretion advised!

On my 3 ‘main’ bikes I have the following

1. Perfectly aligned valves just to prove I can also be anal

2. Slightly misaligned valves just to get the ocd crowd triggered

3. Completely random totally misaligned valves just to be a rebel

On my main bike I have mismatched wheels for winter & matching carbon set for summer

In spring & autumn you should put a carbon on the front and alu on the rear

With misaligned valves and different brand tyres

I would say it's all pretty Quiet on the Western Front.

Nothing to worry as long as valve is still in the middle of two spokes!

Your valve isn’t aligned, rebel

Phew! Back to normal …and relax…

Hello work, sorry I won't be in today as I've got a bad case of bike-itis. What, you haven't heard of it? A lot of my mates have all got it as well - it's caused by UV rays. Don't worry it's just a 24hr bug, I'll be in tomorrow.

Just don't come off in the Autumn, you will never find the bike!

Coming off is guaranteed... Finding the bike after though....

Highlight of my day was finding this.


At first I thought it was a weather balloon. Nope, turn out to be some kind of party balloon.

If you found that in the UK it would be a bag of dog shit. Seriously
