Yes it did, pushed the tire off the rim, ballooned out then bang. The tires are a bit odd, soft, fat and floppy. Took more care with the next tube, bit of air, rotate tire, squeezing all around, then repeat. As the shop had already ridden the bike before shipping, I assumed the tire and tube were all seated. I didn't allow for the floppy tires which could be effortlessly pulled off with one hand.

Brit men too, I ditched 4 kids in the UK when I moved to Thailand, haven't communicated with them in 15 years. All you other guys having 2x phone calls a year from your kids back in the home countries are so much better fathers than I ever was.

Trinx 29er M1000pro + 500w rear hub motor, 15ah 48v battery, 34,000bht. Wanted a better bike, but Trinx was all they had in 19" frame, and I'm tired of frames that are too small for me. It's actually better than I expected, frame is almost too large (I'm 182cm) for me. 10 gears, hydraulic brakes, big tires. Some assembly required as I live in Chiang Mai and shop is in Bangkok. Front wheel, handlebars, pedals, pump up tires. Disaster, pumping up rear tire and rear tube exploded, hardest job in my life fitting rear 29" inner tube, nothing comes apart easily, nothing goes together after, took 2hrs. I was lucky Decathlon had a 29" x 1.9/2.5 tube ( just the one). Don't know why it exploded as under 30psi, pinched tube, faulty tube? .b Bit nervous on my first trip out (thinking exploding tube). Did 20km at 25km/HR using assist level 1 (140w) and a bit of throttle going up the steeper hills. Almost too much power, wish I could turn assist 1 down to 80w. Hard to ride slower than that, top speed 50km/h

I've changed to using Dairy Rich milk powder from NZ. Works out at around 50bht/2ltr and I can't really tell the difference. Added bonus, I don't have to keep going to the shops for milk. 220bht for 1KG at YoK, I pour 620gm of water in a jug, and make up to 700gm with milk powder.

That one Bar Girl who nets a 'Big Fish..'
BritManToo replied to bob smith's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
As long as the guy is happy with the deal, why would anyone else care? Been with mine nearly 15 years, best money I've ever spent. -
Don't see how that could happen as you're always logged into your LINE account or it wouldn't work.

I always go with a male pal, and unlike my wife, I don't have to pay for his meal. -

Aren't there supposed to be 'ties' between inner and outer wall? -

Jealousy incites teen to stab Pattaya convenience store worker
BritManToo replied to snoop1130's topic in Pattaya News
"I was angry" is the great Thai get out of jail free card. I wonder if the Swiss guy had claimed "I was angry she was sitting on my steps" he would have got off? Make a Thai angry and they can kill you. I'm betting "I was angry" won't work for foreigners! -

Having sex with a woman 20 years younger obviously makes you a bad man. Welcome to the Thailand bad men club Elon!

I've known a few guys that never had GFS, they seem to think they missed out. I point out they missed out losing their house and pension, and in many ways are the winners in life. I was married for 30 years to a Brit schoolteacher, and came out of that relationship without a single memory worth having. I would have been better off if I'd never had a gf! Different in Thailand though, I've had several LTRs, and each one of them was great, with many happy memories. Ladyboys, never really been interested in sex with other men, but live and let live!

Want to find a romantic Thai partner
BritManToo replied to Terrance8812's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
While sitting in a bar with my LT Thai gf, I once bought a rose from a passing flower seller and handed it to her. Gf promptly stated, "next time give me the 10bht." Can't beat those romantic Thai ladies! -
