    What CPU to upgrade from an i5-4670k

    Thanks for the replies there, to be honest an 8 core is stretching the budget too much. Good point about the 1% lows, definitely makes the difference for the feel of a game. Is there really much difference between the ryzen 5600s or 12400f or is it just a case of whichever is giving the better...

    I've just got a new car (3 years old) and keen on protecting the paintwork as it is good condition. I have seen stuff in ceramic coatings (don't worry I knew to ignore having diamond brite). Is going for a professionally applied ceramic coating it would I be better to go for a long lasting...

    Type R and VTEC owners

    Easy way to test the AC relay is use a 9v battery over the two smaller terminals, you should hear a click from the relay. Also you can test for continuity over the two larger pins. But to be honest the fan control is before this relay anyways. Also yes if the AC is on then both fans should be...

    Van v cyclist accident

    Well done for what you did there. I have actually gone through a very similar situation but as the cyclist and I am eternally grateful for the people who stopped with me to make sure I was ok and warm (someone went into their house to put a blanket on me!). In the end it took 45 minutes for the...

    Multirotor, multicopter and quadcopter discussion - The Drone thread

    I just bought myself one of those and have converted it to FPV. I am going to buy a proper transmitter for it and then modify it to allow for acro mode (ie does not automatically go back to horizontal) to let me learn how to fly it. Then I am tempted on getting a bigger 250 size quad to try my...

    Best apps to transfer from android to android phone?

    Hi, I have just bought a new phone but I don't really have a good idea which are the best apps for transferring my files/settings from one phone to another. If it changes anything both phones are not rooted.

    Remap options

    My friend has just gone through exactly that with Justin. I have been doing all the logging for him, I must say I have been impressed with the service he has given my friend, it has been a breeze. He then got a decat too on his and it was no problem doing further tuning on it.

    The Indoor Riding/ Zwift/ TrainerRoad etc. Thread

    I have noticed that when on trainerroad I feel much worse for the same heart rate as when outside on the bike. Let me show a ride and a training session for an example. https://www.strava.com/activities/888961678 https://www.strava.com/activities/880602548 As you can see on my turbo session I...

    Mountain Biking

    They are the ones I use and I have really liked them. I have even tested them out and I didn't hurt my knee at all when I landed knee first onto my frame. So good choice there.

    Mountain Biking

    Thanks for the link Noakesy85, yeah I am after a trail bike, I am currently use to an XC hardtail. I have never used a 29" wheel mountain bike though so not sure what it will be like. What are the downsides to it being 29"? I thought I would put the 3 bikes into a table to make it easier as...

    Mountain Biking

    I previously posted about whether to change to a new hardtail or whether to go for a full suspension. Well since then I have worked out I am after a full suspension as I am wanting to use it on rougher trails. I have been looking and I didn't want to spend more than £1500 on a full suspension, I...

    Mountain Biking

    Neil (and others who have said this), Don't worry absolutely no offence taken! You are right about skills coaching, it was something I want to do but then I felt I would get even more value out of it on a bike I felt happier with. When new to mountain biking I tended to go over the bars...
