Doing the Collie stare to try and mesmerise the ball into jumping into her mouth itself:

Definitely. For a start there aren't enough native nurseries to support the number of trees that would be required to reforest huge swathes of land, but heather uplands are also species diverse when not artificially managed to maximise grouse numbers (alongside predator persecution). I love...

My experiences with the Lazer ones and their like have by and large been positive, particularly in soft bolts. Where a normal Allen key will be trying to cam out of the bolt these dig in further, particularly if there's any good hex left at the very bottom. They also require no drilling and...

Aluminium bolts are a pig. Mondraker should be quite helpful, or at least in my experience they are. As to getting them out, either use one of these, or these. Both are effective although if they're not completely destroyed then I'd try the latter first. Once out you can measure the thread...

Anything top swing (i.e low clamp), bottom pull, 9spd, and 34.9mm clamp should work. This'll do you: XT Mech link

I like the idea of some of these things. I sometimes have concern that what once worked in the bigger picture of a wider ecosystem now won't, but we won't find out unless we try. I'd rather see this trial and assessment than Arla's Bovaer one which has made buying dairy products recently...

Not sure what happened to the tractor pic @bikeworkshop but very nice! I'm sure some politician somewhere would think you need to get rid of it for a brand new one, probably with a hybrid engine or some such nonsense, for the few times a year you use it. Because of course you have to consume...

I had a bunch of articles saved as they greatly annoyed me, I'll did the links out. I get that in some cases they can overwhelm woods but these same people will put more effort into removing beech from their woods while doing nothing to criticise the complete lack of life that exists in any...

I stand corrected, I didn't realise you'd sorted out the older forks too. Nice one. It's mental how much modern stuff is already obsolete as far as Fox and SRAM are concerned. You can't get bladders for charger dampers separate despite them not lasting much longer than the service interval, and...

Ash dieback is heartbreaking to see, they're one of my favourite trees, especially mature examples. Not many large trees can give such a vibrant glow in summer. I admire anyone who is supporting developing woodland, it's a lot of effort. I've helped friends out in the past who help rewinding...

Our landowner here is London based and does nothing to cull the deer locally. Going back the last hundred years there's not been a significant red deer population on our headland at all, just Roe deer which do much less damage, but in the last ten years they've exploded. Luckily enough locals...

It's difficult for me to even express myself effectively on this because so much of it is tied up in political grandstanding (from both sides), and half the time any complaints (per Lesley Riddoch, a staunch nationalist and left winger), it's simply an attack against the land owning class, and...

I think even when they were contemporary they were still a rare choice as anyone wanting a beefy hub likely already had discs.

This is a front one; been on many, many bikes (and now on the front of my Marin). Originally bought as a temporary spare to replace a broken Fatso; QR and no disc tabs, like Lee's rear one.

You've done a good thread hijack @Tio68 🤣 Usually it's me doing that. Those seals are basically NLA, and have been like that for a long time. Someone on here (or maybe IG) found a supplier for the DH4 but they're the M4 which came later and had a thinner cross section seal used. The best...

Thread looks quite coarse as some of these bespoke bolts are. To the OP; measure the gap from the peak of the first thread to the last one and divide by the number of threads. It'll come out as 1.5 or 1.75, which will be the pitch. M8 x 1.5 is fairly standard coarse thread, M8 x 1.75 will be...

Ahh, I can't help then unfortunately, I mis-read you.

They were around in early 1996 so definitely not too far out, by mid '97 the BAM stuff was already available. The problem with the earlier models like the XC700 or DH3 is that, like RS and Manitou stuff of the era, spares are basically NLA. The Pace RC35 might work if a true MY94 fork is...

Which 165mm ones are you after, and which 203mm ones do you have?

If it's up to 96 then I'd say 80mm is the max travel it would have come with. Z1's were only just launched and Warner was racing some WC's on them, and they were 100mm travel. The Judy DH was 80mm and standard Judy's were 63mm, and the Pace RC36 first gen was 76mm. If you wanted something that...
