boboneleg Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Finished work early today so with the Rally up on the ramp I started some fettling. I decided to replace the front tyre, it has done 4570 miles and I noticed it was starting to 'slide' in the mud rather than grip................ 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a dangerous scenario for the crazy bitch to take the kids back into though. Zelensky is dangerous and needs to watch what he says .... trying to get nato involved by saying it was russian missiles. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saul Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Shit day, first the oldest child dropped his bike, youngest child had to be picked up from school after a mega meltdown. Third thing I discover the fecking hugger I put on my is a pretty useless waste of time and money. I am actually looking forward to going back to work out of the mad house. 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking of whipping it off tomorrow night to have a look at the mousse if it's still good i think i'll have to go down a tyre size as it looks like i'm running 2 psi in there 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soz about the rugrats, they can be a joy... or a total PITA I did wonder about the hugger, it looks like it's not in a position where most of the spatter would fly off a wheel anyway? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so it's doing an alright job I'd say 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
