Apparently I'm gutted about being banned from BR and apparently my 335d Touring is an entry level sh1tbox saloon (errmm its an estate actually) the same as a Mondeo/ Insignia.
This is from someone with a ageing Subaru Legacy and someone else with a falling to bits ancient Clio (not even a quick one). Not unlike someone with an Apollo slagging someone with an S Works bike
TBH a small number of sad cretins with no life do spoil for a few others that are fine - not unlike here really but with less humour.That's the sort of person that uses BR, that's why I'm very pleased to be "forced" by a pair of hapless geeks not to use it.
The worst of forum users all in one place. Kids, fat bar stewards, old moaning tarts.

Surf Mat just start up another account/name etc and thats it?
BR does have a good road bike section thoughPosted 1 year ago # -
They're talking about that on the BR thread, they check IPs and have other ways of stopping people doing that. Lets be honest, anyone who's been banned is likely to show their personality reasonably quickly anyway!

njee - about ten people on here (regulars) have mentioned being banned. Doesn't really say a lot about BR's mods does it?

God, STW is so full of self-righteous folk who are propelled by there own smugness.
this was posted by someone whose log on is the big cheese
perhaps they are just ace at irony.
They really dont like surfmat so they cant be all bad

I've always found Supersonic and Nicklouse very helpful, not sure if there are other mods.

Didn't supersonic move up north and get married to someone he met on BR?

Yeah, I think the wedding list was at CRC.

"Northwind NO WAY your talking crap i knew exactly when and it was what they are calling a faulty batch, well they wernt stronger as they broke,
And yes they did improve them, and commencal did replace them."WTF are you talking about? Hard to tell sometimes but no it wasn't just a faulty batch and Commencal haven't claimed it was, they moved production and changed the design to fix it. That thread is from after the change. So you were still blabbing on about the bad model after it was fixed. Not to mention talking total pish about Orange Fives and being dead impressed that they can do Climachx.

this is true, some of the posts on there are quite informative, a guy called gotthetshirt2 has some fascinating things to say

I'd say s-works = M3 not 335d. Yours would be about 'pro' level in specialized money, nein? Posted 1 year ago # -
Julian - correction humbly accepted!
Shame they don't do an M3 Touring...

do specialised riders not use indicators or move out of the way either then?
Posted 1 year ago # -
Iain - nope and they also draft/tailgate all other riders.
Try getting out of a junction on a Spesh bike - no one lets you out...

hmmm I can't seem to reset my password over at BR, not that I've forgotten it or anything, I blame the eagles.

I recently joined STW as there was lots of people posting about the Kielder 100 - I was after as much info/opinions as I could get.
I had started a thread on BR (on Kielder) and got next to no response.
I still go on BR but just check out the rides and routes forums mainly, STW does seem to suit me more - for now...
Did do a BR forum ride though that was good fun.Posted 1 year ago # -
Mat, my specialised commuter is so old and rubbish, i reckon its 'mk2 520 in that red that went all pink with age', (and threadbare beige velour seats). I too have 'give way' issues on it. (No one does.)

Oooops total Ale headed none making sence on those last replys.
Northwind You say I got it mixed up with the 2010 frame. But I say how?
I wrote on this site under heading Commencal Meta 5.5 Shock mounting.
Dont worry pearmund many of those returned. They are replacing the broken frames with the updated 2010 version for what I read on the Commencals owners web site. So no probs replacing yours.Regarding your secific run: How many?
More like the whole year has no one has come forward. And no one else made
the frame for this year.Someone did say on Bike Radar that it would be hard to buy a 2010 frame only, has these have been set aside to replace the broken frames.
I never slammed the 2010 frame has the new manufacurer sorted it out, stronger i dont know but would say corrected and good too.
I believe I was the first to put on that they had a new manufacturer for there 2010 frames.Regarding your Merlin comments, and that i got it so wrong Sorry but Merlin never sold the revised 2010 Meta 5 !
Please check the below web site for the Merlin info.
Try google: 2010 Meta 5 - Maxled!
This will be the Commencals Owner link you need and please put it upI also added comment in another ST forum Meta 5.5 or Orange 5
My reply is on page Two.Basically enough said.

I cant seem to fathom out BR forum members !
From what i have experienced none of them ride ? Theres always something up with them ?
Its either my knees playing up or i have a debilitating degenerative disorder that means i cant leave my keyboard for fear of not being able to tell a newbie what £300 Hard Tail to buy or what £750 full suss !
I think we should have a forum Rugby match Us & Them !
See who's fit to ride a GT after that Fooker !Posted 1 year ago # -
LOL Santacrews and whos the GT fooker?
