bearing tends to be wheel speed dependent rather than engine speed though, resonating louder at particular speed multiples. it could be just something stuck behind a brake cover, or it could something deeper.

that would ruin the surprise
-
that sounds filthy..... when exactly does it happen as you pull away? is it worse if you pull away uphill? does it happen if pulling away downhill only on the idle?
-
sounds like a split pipe alright losing boost

that will have been the B ) you put on have you tried connecting another phone to the BT? and the phone to another BT? just in case theres a general issue with either? can happen. @Rustynuts is very good with the HUnits, so probably has some advice too

i pretty much have that done in my head no particular order - sentier vr roscoe 7 stoic 3 all in or around the same spec and money, just need something to pop up as actually purchasable which seems to be a challenge. size medium.... even most of the second handers (very few...) are all large or XL, which are too big for my little 5ft7" in shoes body..
-
yeah, i was lookin at the vr spec, and a couple of other listings on wiggle. everything seems a lower spec than the vr 🤔

nephew was pulled out of the 630am start by swmbo.. to be fair he hasnt been up before 9 and not sleeping properly for a couple of months, so maybe going straight into a 8k run at 630am may have been a bit of a push he has promised to go for a run himself later on after doing some work on the project. so i went pedalling my typical route, but twisted a through the trees section to boost myself an extra climb and a bit more distance. the extra climb knocked the avg speed back but an extra km and 50m climbing. it all felt good

perhaps you were aiming ( with your eyes closed) for that bit where the kerb is missing/at footpath level? and missed it..

change in offing for tomorrow morning... swmbo's nephew is struggling to write his FYP for uni, lotta stuff goin on atm, so he has been convinced to come down to Nanny's house and do some work 9n it with swmbo helping him put a shape on the structure. he has also agreed to get up and come with me for an early morning blast. no bike, so we're gonna run instead. giving him the choice of hill climb or flat in the morning.

see, if i could get it at that price, it would definitely be worth it... and would leave lots for replacing the fork with a really decent one (assuming i could get one, a fox for example...). but i dont know if id get it that low...

yeah, i was reading up a little bit on the lockout failures last night, and people say sometimes it mightnt be actually be a failure as the lockout only acts to stiffen the damping to the max, so there is still some give in it. its possible this might be one of those? equally i could probably cope without the lockout for a while anyway? i just dont really know if i want to drop a wad of cash on something i know is broken...
