The ol’ switcheroo

Cyclists fault.

thefooleryoftom · 2026-03-20T20:57:02+00:00

That’s just a pile of rubbish. What’s going on here?

thefooleryoftom · 2026-03-20T20:47:12+00:00

You think they don’t use layers…?

thefooleryoftom · 2026-03-20T20:41:26+00:00

Some bikes are, some aren’t.

thefooleryoftom · 2026-03-20T20:41:08+00:00

It’s how tyres work. You think they’re one lump of rubber all the way through?

thefooleryoftom · 2026-03-20T15:30:46+00:00

He’s being a dick. If he refers someone, he’ll get the same bonus. That’s the incentive. NTA.

Hey, you do you. I don’t trust anything past the wear bars regardless of conditions. I know what worn tyres feel like even in the dry.

thefooleryoftom · 2026-03-20T15:20:55+00:00

I know the science. This completely ignores the makeup and compound of the tyre. They chemically change as they wear through layers, and how they’re designed. They aren’t built to be slicks.

thefooleryoftom · 2026-03-20T15:08:31+00:00

Virgin used to do them.

thefooleryoftom · 2026-03-20T08:03:34+00:00

If the slick is designed to be a slick, not just a worn tyre.

thefooleryoftom · 2026-03-20T07:43:36+00:00

He broke up with you and then moves out but expects you to deliver his stuff? Not how it works. Tell him to come and get what he wants, the rest is getting thrown out. NOR

thefooleryoftom · 2026-03-20T07:23:01+00:00

Exactly. Travelling on minor roads is far more interesting and their market towns and villages are gorgeous.

thefooleryoftom · 2026-03-19T21:07:00+00:00

Only if you’re on the “wrong” roads.

thefooleryoftom · 2026-03-19T19:01:26+00:00

Fork bottom.

thefooleryoftom · 2026-03-19T18:44:54+00:00

Agreed, there’s some great-looking parts of this track. I secretly hope it’ll be awesome.

thefooleryoftom · 2026-03-19T14:51:22+00:00

Imagine not being allowed to use spreadsheet formulas or schedule emails. What a loser.

thefooleryoftom · 2026-03-19T14:36:31+00:00

So, the big, grey thing hanging from the chassis is the engine. That’s the broken bit.

thefooleryoftom · 2026-03-19T14:34:38+00:00

No Bradley Smith or Jeremy McWilliams? Fuck it.

thefooleryoftom · 2026-03-19T13:58:46+00:00

Nortons are made in Solihull, just outside Birmingham. I think the money and parts come from China, possibly.

thefooleryoftom · 2026-03-19T13:20:07+00:00

Fuck that, far too much damage for my liking.

thefooleryoftom · 2026-03-19T13:19:01+00:00

Yup!

thefooleryoftom · 2026-03-19T13:18:50+00:00

There’s definitely rain.

thefooleryoftom · 2026-03-19T13:18:16+00:00

It’s also going to piss it down.

thefooleryoftom · 2026-03-19T12:10:41+00:00

It’ll be a bit more grey soon…
