    Fucking iPad for school has ended up consuming a lot of my young fellas spare time. It is a full on addiction.

    Repurposed from my wife’s bike. Can’t get him interested. Maybe should start a new thread, What don’t your kids ride.

    Old mate doesn’t appear to have the first idea about fascism. I’m sure he ticks at least a couple of the boxes. Where the hell did he find 1.2 million subs?

    Home with the kids for school holidays, in Melbourne. My wife has just texted me to make sure all external doors are shut and suggested I block the cracks under the door to stop the air from outside coming in. I haven't seen the sky due to the smoke for 3 days. The pain and terror of these...

    Formula fork air cap removal / socket size??

    You were lucky to find one that worked. In most situations the socket needs to be ground down.

    Formula fork air cap removal / socket size??

    Suspension fork caps are notorious. You might need a specialised tool. I bought one for rockshox and another for fox. Made by someone on their lunch break. Good gear.
