Have used some Citrus degreaser stuff before but not tried it on a chainsaw i think it would be good & isn't very expensive & smells nice.

The cheapo tyres might have a limited max speed ratings also...?

It as often goes the other way, more crappy. Even lawn mowers used to have proper bearings Why Honda Why? THEGARDENMACHINERYFORUM.CO.UK Noticed Honda has changed the wheel bearings on the IZY. They have gone from a pretty decent ball bearing... So bushing only rated to 45mph? Conservative or go 60mph for 10 miles down the motorway and high chance something bads gonna happen?

£150!? WT-426B

Indian bean tree? rdm guess

Litters a good point. I expect untidy verges do encourage people to litter & flytip more. Makes a real mess when a verge of long grass is then cut, and all the accumulated litter is shredded into little bits.

Tree shape & growth habit & twigs looks wrong for an elm?

They have got slightly better in some places in the last few yrs mowing less. The dual carriage way here they now leave some bits long & cut and bail the grass on the wider verges where the flyovers are. The job strimming along miles after mile round each individual steel central divider post must be abit soul destroying.

Schoffel gillets are well overpriced.

Excellent is stretching it abit ?

This is my thinking more common sense. Seems to me people hate leaving piles to rot down as it look untidy but I can't see what the problem is with it.. Ever do anything with air curtain buners? The cost involved in processsing & transporting tonnes of material many miles offsite to then pay for it to be disposed of at a official recycling centre seems abit mad. The local one has several huge mountains of & what looks like mainly blackthorn scrub unchipped in there yard atm. If not allowed onsite why not have an agreement with an adjacent farmer to use there land. They spread bought fert on the pastureland surrounding the sites. Heath was created & maintained in the first place since the stone age mostly just by grazing animals.

No rollermatic bar nose and no fancy fuel caps versus the old ms171 one saved a few pennys? Better antivibe but more weight has & alot bigger fuel tank.

Are you allowed to burn on site etc? Here the Wild life Trusts policy is to remove all bigger stuff cut off site...or they are burning a small amount on tin sheets then removing the ash. They also have controlled fires to burn off the heather.

Yeah dog poo & wee apparently is bad for enriching grasslands to much having a negative effect on wild flora.

Half the world is carrying that on the back seat of a small moped.

Im all for light weight folding tyres rather than the rigid wire bead ones a new bike often comes with makes a big difference. It used to be thought that narrow 23mm pumped up to over 100 psi tyres were best and that was normal for road bikes. But more recently people have realized wider tyres aren't really slower its tyre supleness high TPI (thread per inch), thats more important. Continental GP 4000 28mm are very popular choice. They can do over 6000 miles before going bald. Wider tyres say in 32mm -40mm are very nice esp on rough back roads.

The lower lower psi & bigger air volume absorbs more road buzz. Thats a big plus for gravel bikes as they have more clearance on the frame for the wide tyres & fitting mudguards. Also more gravel frames come with the bolts to fit a pannier rack . The lower lower psi & bigger air volume absorbs more road buzz. Thoose giants look ok & decent spec. One thing poor are the wired tyres but easy to swap. Also I dunno much about the pro wheel crankset & bottom bracket spec & durability. Cheap press fit bottom brackets on modern bikes can cause alot of issues. Some brands have gone back to the more durable threaded BSA (Birmingham Small Arms 🙂) bottom brackets. I prefer drops bars as I find it nice to have the choice of hand postions esp when theres a headwind and also the shifters on drop bars seem more ergonomic to me.

Nice crash helmet

Yeah thoose brands are good. Also Ribble cycles is good. Trek and Specialized etc are overpriced.

I did a 250 mile ride in a day in demin shorts & t shirt & normal trainers was an audax ride Home| Audax UK - The Long Distance Cyclists' Association WWW.AUDAX.UK Audax UK long distance cycling home page All the gear might give very marginal speeds gains though but isn't needed. I don't mind the idea of a hybrid but they all are designed using very poor quality parts unless you go for the very expensive ones Cheap heavy frames & poor quality groupsets etc make a bike that feels unpleasant to ride. Road bikes tend to be better vfm. Also id look a gravel bikes like the one Big J has. Gravel bikes are like the modern trendy version of the old cycle touring bikes like that dawes galaxy.

It was a hard... Good for country lanes with poor tarmac as wide fast rolling high TPI tyres plus mudguards. No disc brakes or STI gear shifters levers to go wrong & add extra weight & complexity for no benefit for everyday usage. So not any hassle with maintenance.
