    Looks good though GT, I would defo do mine if it wasn't so angular. Rigid fork should look good, I presume that's the one your doing?

    Even my round lid was harder than it looks. Cant imagine doing an angular one!

    Heres the fork done:

    An escort for waylander. He seems a bit uptight recently - hopefully Harley Hanging can unwind him a little.

    Superstar Sintered brake pads - the four pack is stonkingly good value.

    Not a good idea if that outer shell is polycarbonate.
    How come?

    The adhesive on stickers can react with polycarbonate shells and weaken them. Fine on fibreglass or composite shells.

    Indeed, good long lasting pads as well, first time I've tried sintered and for once my pads have lasted more than a month!

    The OE sintered pads in my XT brakes haven't shown the slightest sign of wear yet. Oh, hang on, the brakes are still in the box, aren't they. Silly me. :D

    I have just ordered some 'Pombi' (banana vodka, strong as feck. Mash 15 ripened Ugandan 'Gorilla' bananas and add 4 tablespoons of sugar. Place in a container with a tiny airhole in it and bury it in the ground in a warm African Country. Take out of ground 6 months later. Filter clear juice through muslin). Anyhow, it's 'cos me mates are coming round for a bash. Here's a picture of them:

    A cheapo jersey for the road bike

    XXL relaxed fit means something else to roadies! Skin tight crop top, apparently. That's gone back.

    Ordered a Fox Live Wire jersey instead as I know Fox XL is a good fit, so I'll use that on the road.

    Also ordered a Howies Dyfi jacket.

    Sent back the road bike mudguards too. I won't need those for a while!
