Have you tried smacking it a few times. Don't use a metal hammer as I assume the screen is glass. Rubber mallet should work well and if you smack it just right, the (1) should disappear a little.

Funny thing/story happened today... Went to the car tyre place to sort the treads on my wifes car. Youngish lad doing my wheels, didn't tell him what I do for a living (average nurse) but instead focused on using my mum as the example and give him reason to lose some weight. This lad was in his 20s,...

Top stuff there you 2. Looks like they even come with CO2 canisters. https://bikerrated.com/gear/maintenance ... pair-kits/

I think that is what I'll aim to do....

The Mrs's car recently picked up a screw in the front tyre. I took it out, plugged it with my bike tubeless repair kit and reinflated it. It's been fine for a couple of weeks now :smile: Lol... :-bd maybe that's my answer. In the Subaru Legacy 05 plate I had a few years ago (second newest car I eve...

Thinking of going for the kit on my car (as the wife's is without a spare tyre anyway, so I need to buy her a set regardless) and doing away with the spare tyre. Without getting into too much conflicting debates, does anyone have any thoughts on which is best at a low overall weight. Not too worried...

Maybe as a direct result (to cut my own wieght) I've only had a coffee with milk since this am and am remdmbeing to ingesting the olive oil more frequently!

I think I should maybe share this. Not being disrespectful to my beloved mum as she's had a tough life and hitting 70 years old now. A few months ago I had a little dig that she has to lose weight. Unbeknown to me, she had already had the 'talks' from my younger brother who is a bit of a 'lifestyle ...

I meant 'them'... The runny-mouthed idiots

I thought I'd finally put my foot in it and the (2 faced, nasty) authorities had come for you Stu. Then I wondered that maybe it was cos someone hadn't paid their dues in a while and made the intention that I'd cough up something to the Feed the Bear page ASAP. Anyone got a link to the feed bear pag...

why she needs so many I don't know WTH :lol: Have you not shared with her the joys of TLS? Yeah. Dunno where to start. I take lessons from my mum (obviously our tools and bike stuff, we don't need :lol: ) and every so often I try to have a 'cull'. Sometimes some of hers or the kids stuff ends up cu...

For some reason pics from Imgur not loading!

Bit of a generalised building type question but I thought it better to ask here without risking the type of litigation type responses sometimes recieved in other places. Basically I'm trying to fit a small banister safety type barrier in the loft storage area. This bannister type barrier is work in ...

17th June - 14st 6lb / 91.5kg Weigh in is a day early so I'm taking that as stable. I'm not at home tomorrow so weighed today. We're backing off a little now as we're happy where we are now. Still avoiding the obvious carbs, bread, spuds, pasta rice & sweets/biscuits/chocolate etc but we've all...

A bit of an odd couple. Both close by the A590 (it's the road that goes from J36 on the M6 across the southern edge of the Lakes to Barrow in Furness). At Levens there's a pair of swans nesting about 5 metres from the dual carriageway. When I first saw them I thought they were just doing a test nes...

Yes please I can add extra donation to your fund raising. Plus extra to cover postage.
Cheers
Stu

Thanks Stu. Just send me a PM. It's not my bike but let me know and I will see if it is still available and get you the number for the seller.

Definitely the case for the pigeon.

So true. I'm not gonna tell the ones that frequent my garden (when I remember to put out the seeds).

Swapped wheelsets. When I got the Cannondale the intention was to have two sets of wheels: one gravel oriented and one road set. It came with the gravel wheels/tyres but the only road sets the shop had were nearly as much as the bike! :o The bikeshop down the road had some cheaper sets ended up get...

Wow one of those 'once in a lifetime'moments for many.

I think probably best to deem the thread closed there as we run the risk of it being deleted permanently (general rule/theme of the forum being to not have saddening/depressing threads all over the shop).

I noticed the the few-year-old Al Jazeera Sunbirds documentary being linked to again the other week, for tragic but near inevitable reasons: https://escapecollective.com/founding-gaza-sunbirds-paracyclist-killed-by-israeli-airstrike/ Thanks for the link Hyppy. Can't help but notice/mention that it ...

Sometimes all you can do is share content. Every little helps, especially as sometimes they just want someone to at least listen to their stories. Shame on Youtube and the various algorithms that keeps these vids repressed. Here's one published 3 days ago. Amazing people... https://youtu.be/ma35dmcL...

V sorry to hear that Faustus.

British Plum tree. Looks like I'll have to move the shed well and proper, or repot it somewhere that it can have the 3m height and width it can grow to in 10 years. Planted it last year.

Sitka, I'll look that up thanks Phil.

Interesting that Shaff. A bit overly romantic in places mind... The lone Sitka I kipped under a few years ago grew to monster height and width, despsite being all alone (self seeded from an adjacent plantation which ironically has now been clear felled) so I think there is a bit more to it than tha...

Any tree huggers, amazing documentary here https://youtu.be/NOFPqbvD-vE?si=Nk1GOIrNrHemtd3w For reference I don't use that word jokingly as our Prophet Muahmmad PBUH did just that - well it was crying cos his pulpit was moved away from it and he went and gave it a hug to console it, to the nearest m...
