MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
Just had a look at the 'Bike' forum as I believe it's called - there are [b]loads[/b] of usernames I've never seen before. Who are these people? Don't know they can come here and not have to discuss bikes?? Quite unsettling.
This side of things might be considered.. I dunno.. intimidating? 🙂
PS I did re-send that mail let me know if you got it - dunno if it got through.
I've started going over there occasionally as a bit of an experimental phase. Get me out my comfort zone and all that.
They just want to talk about bikes though. Weirdos.
They're the weirdos who ride instead of typing.
There must be something we can do?
use overview function - the rules are * helpful on bike forum whatever you do /say on here.
* some still argue on there I will let you guess.
I used to spend most of my time time [url= http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/forum/bike-chat ]there[/url], but I've seen reason since.
I never realised they were different. Always use overview
this place use to be a great place to discuss bikes, but recently its all about bitching about something or other or some blokes take on a weigh****chers diet? 😉
I've started going on there when this place is slow, cos I'm so bored at work....
Intimidating? INTIMIDATING?? Jesus Christ Molly what on earth are you on about. What a stupid thing to say! Why don't you just try thinking before you type, eh?
*shakes head*
Some people, honestly!
Nice try TSY but you're not a patch on some of the real masters of the forum put-down.
oooo, I can type about bikey stuff and find a weight weenie support group, ace!
see you laterz, LOOSERZ
I wouldn't want to crush you with my wit Mol.
I'm in team Molly now, I got your back kiddo.
only losers would consider viewing the forums separately. Old school overview is where it's at. Keep it real, noobz.
Lol.. Deadlydarcy's dog has her own team?
I like the idea tho. We should have a team strip printed up.
Speaking of teams we ought to do SITS or something.
There's another forum?
I'm gonna get [b]MOLGRIPS[/b] in bold splayed across my back 😀
What's SITS?
There's NO way I'm posting over there. Too scary. All that talk about bottom brackets and what have you.
sleepless in the saddle
SITS
Can i be the pit bitch?

Wow, you're ace. Tell me about bearings or forks or something.
You're in! I've always wanted a pit bitch and molgrips on my back.
24 hour race in teams. I can't believe you've been here this long and you don't know about these things...
Junkyard, yes you can.
I have found TSY in a little costume pretending to be a LOLcat
see....

*wanders off to talk about tyre pressures and ting*
Leave it out... this is a thread about not going over there <<<< and talking about bikes... how would I ever now the acronym when all I do is spend my days stalking other forumites that also don't go over there?
Smile please emsz.
Oooh you bitch tazzy!
If I talked about bikes I might say that I'd be up for a 24 hour Team Derelict Carnage kind of thing.
There are quite a few OT threads over there, I think STW is slowly splitting in two...
*blows kiss at TSY and forgives him for his rocky horror show hating ways*
What tyres for the other forum?
yeti?
are you telepathic? Came on today, nothing to smile about
Tazzy you're so dead to me I'm going to need the dream team to hear from you....

If 'telepathic' is a clever way of avoiding a restraining order, then yes, it's not that I'm sat outside your house!
Can't really post over the other side. I don't know anything about bikes except how to pedal. Luckily I have my own live in mechanic to sort all things 'bike' for me. Do venture over every now and then though but this side is more fun 😀
*runs off sobbing like a school girl and goes to find my justin bieber mp3 mix to sooth my soul*
For some reason I just felt the need to share this with the forum. Normally I hate the smug faced little Es Haitch One Tee!
Right, so that's me, Yeti, iDave.. who else is in?
6-7th August.
Although I might not be able to make it, Mrs Grips might be about to pop by then...
Mrs Grips might be about to pop by then
She can just do one lap then
There is [i]another[/i] forum??
Where people talk about [i]bikes[/i]?????
No you're having me on!
What a preposterous idea!!
Just don't look at it Elf
It's got references to all sorts of things we'd be best not knowing
She can just do one lap then
Lol 🙂
It's got references to all sorts of things we'd be best not knowing
Nah, mostly it's people asking about tyres; will this bit work with that bit; and what colour should I order my new bike in (seriously!)
hmmm seeing as I smell and have no mates I feel a SITS solo coming on 😀
Right just fitted my powertap and will now be able to hit my base training zone accurately tomorrow. If we do race, I will have the fastest lap. Guaranteed.
e-mail is in profile highest biider to me and I will noble whichever bike you choose as pit bitch- clearly they know nothing ..it may be subtle, valves not lining up with logos, less subtle the wrong tyres for the terrain,hideously evil, superstar parts fitted or just plain wrong [glasses inside straps].
EDIT: even with flat tyres 😉
I'm going to work on a +1.
superstar parts fitted
Culpable homicide? Bit harsh isn't it? 🙂
I will have the fastest lap. Guaranteed
My 24hr rules is a tequila shot before and after each lap. Still confident?
Is that part of the iDave diet? Or just harking back to the old days of the Tour?
[i]superstar parts fitted[/i]
what? 😕
I don't know either emsz
It's all some niche men in shed language thing
My 24hr rules is a tequila shot before and after each lap
pah, weakling, a pint of real ale every lap with only one gear is what you need 😆
Now, see, if you were on the bike forum more often...
(Guy who imports components direct from the Far East and sells them on - sometimes with controversial results in terms of quality it seems..)
I don't need any knowledge of such things
How may spare places on team pervert do you have?
I got my steed ready, powertap fitted an' all that....

Cider with a tequila bomb. 😆
Drink of choice.
edit: nice bike Yeti. 😀
Could save your life one day Dave. You might think 'oh these bike components look like good value for money...'

Torm - dunno, depends on if we can get a woman roped [s]up[/s] in 🙂
I'm going to work on a girl...
Yes, for this event.
Emsz - You should come out to play sometime too!
Yeti you can be team manager now I am going to bed.
Oh and there's also Bristol Bikefest in October for those who don't want the full 24 hours 🙂
Yeti,
probably in the summer OK?
None of this 'probably' flim-flam the sexyrides need [b]You[/b]
Torm. If we can get a girl then we have...
Manager - Me
Super mechanic - Junky
Riders
Me
You
A girl
Molly
iDave
and on Saxaphone..
Or we start making lots of teams....
feels very very unloved [flounces]
What are you on about Junky?
You're second on the list! Have a hug, silly old insecurity issues you.
only read riders list 😳
i am sure my attention to detail has filled all riders with confidence 😯
See, you're an important cog in the machine Junky. I couldn't forget you!
Team Molgrips..
Game on.
Probably better start knitting myself some suede bib shorts or something. Then I can get us a girl. 😈
I thought the chat forum was for girls and ponces, ..oh, I was correct
DGOAB might be the girl if emsz doesnt' want to do it...
I thought the chat forum was for girls and ponces, ..oh, I was correct
As long as there's no chat about singlespeed ratios I'm staying here
Her Dirtyness' attendance has been requested.
Lolz at the irony of RD's post. Come here and let me stroke that daft little beard you SS loving freak.
I have doubts about Yeti's stamina...
You know how much riding I've got planned between now and then?
I HAVE tried, but I've got nothing new to say about bikes since I bought an Orange 5...
Is it a special black Orange 5 though Woppit? You need a black one now.
No Yeti.. do tell..
A lot.
I'm doing LEJOG in just over 2 weeks time for starters!
Hmm.
Well let's see. If I can lose 2kg a week, then by the time SITS comes round I'll be 50kg. That should help on the climbs.
Poor attempt at asking me...1/10! You boyz will have to do better than that!!
I have no doubt about yeti's stamina after what we have planned so it will be the ultimate power struggle...if we both survive the summer! 😀
12 stone 2 this morning Molly... I'm dehydrated though.
Red wine is not a recovery drink.
ive nevr had a look at the 'other' Bike forum ! wot are they geeks or monsters.inbreds.. 😉 :twisted:...
