  1. The new ones do seam to kick out more than the previous version of pantin
  2. Hope it goes well tomorrow mate. Sounds like you've had a better week than me
  3. I will be there, and hope to have a couple of beers with you again
  4. Expensive pair of slippers though
  5. Good to know. Has anyone used both? What's the difference?
  6. Very confusing, the ad said fine wearing them round the house, but after 4 hours of use at work there not for him
  7. That would be nice. As I've said can't fault them so far. I've been recommending them to all the local lads so should hopefully sell well. Not sure who was selling some on arbtrader, but it takes more than 4 hours to work them in
  8. Which tachyon. Look at getting a ZZ and I've got the New England one
  9. Size seems to be spot on imo. Don't let the stiffness fool you if you try some on, they soon loosen up
  10. I agree. The heel is a good size for spikes to sit in, also been good without and all the trees have been slippy buggers with the weather recently
  11. Two pairs! They obviously didn't want bad feedback as you didn't get any first time round.
  12. How's everyone getting on with the boots? I have to say I can't fault mine
  13. There was a large Douglas on the driveway down to the hotel, it was right next to river hell of a tree! Probably a 5/10 min walk back towards dunkeld. Some magnificent trees around there
  14. Unfortunately I'm with the Mrs Dunkeld Hilton, grand spot. It's right on the river. Going to have breakfast then go for a walk
  15. At a wedding in Scotland today and decided to have a walk whilst the Mrs gets ready with the bride! Anyway found a nice silver fir Going to have a good look around tomorrow and see what else I can find
  16. gand

    Xmas TV ads

    Yeah there crap! Seem to get earlier each year! I wouldn't mind if they started in December, like they should
  17. I've had a set of corona for about 5 years now, never let me down. Nice and light so can't complain
  18. Ended up doing the majority of it today. New bearings in and fins, all back together and working like a dream. Sounds like a brand new chipper! Thanks again for the link
  19. Cheers. Turns out I've got someone helping me who works for akinson vos so all good. That guide is spot on
  20. Has anyone done this? If so how did how did you access the fly wheel? Did you use bearing pullers? Please help as I've been told it's my job job tomorrow
  21. They are sturdy indeed. Mine have loosened up a little and are feeling good. Today it was a widespread ash removal about 60 to 70ft, so spikes went in at lots of different angles and felt very supportive
  22. Used them all day in spikes and found them comfortable and have no complaints so far. My Buckinghams sit nicely in the midsole. Has anyone else had spikes on yet?
  23. I'll be on spikes Wednesday I think so will let you know. I believe the older scafells were uncomfortable on them, but they seemed bulky when I tried them on. These are far better
  24. The black ones that I picked up for my boss had socks as well so seems you've been unlucky, probably a packing error. Mine cost £179, not bothered for a quid though as the shops about a mile away. Worn them all day and have been comfortable. Need some breaking in though I think. Won't be climbing till next week so will report back then
  25. Sure they will. The orange laces come with the black ones so prob come with blue aswell
