another quick question, do people find they get better results balancing their carbs with a long or a short spirit level?

I find it more important to get a good balance of carbs, protein and veg. Don't forget a bit of chocolate and beer, food for the soul...

I thought this was going to be a lube V wax thread. I've wanted to try wax but I just keep staying with what I know!

Tried & tested mate, I thought I'd do it at the same time as I was scrubbing in my new back tyre by holding sandpaper up to it. Kill two birds with one stone and all that.

I rub my new tyres over with wet n dry, you look less stupid doing that than going arse over tit because of the 'release agent' that's sprayed on new tyres.

I've been using oil of olay on my chain. I find it helps fight the seven signs of aging
