Alex, jog on mate, you’re being a pillock. Nobody has said what you think they said, you misread it.

I accept I misread it but you are being a bit of a dick really.

Yes you are of course right

All hail Sibboleth and his might mind.

You spin out at 50 rpm?
Has anyone said this???

erm

but I will spin out my 53/39 set up on most rides

spin out my 53/39
you spin out 53/11 on most rides?

rkk01 – Member
yes

You spin out at 50 rpm? I wouldn’t call that spinning out; I would call that stopping pedaling.

thought so. thanks

Yeah I need to sell wheels brakes, bar and stem also.

I also need a chain guide and a frame protector.

It’s funny I’ve been umming about a mojo hd vs a nomad c for some time. At this price it is a no brainer really. Very excited.

What did you did?

Mojo HD with XT finishing kit and fox forks 😀

I done did it.

riding down some goat tracks le brevent in Chamonix when you could ride there. There was a steep section where parapenters were launcing from just above the second lift station. Switch back all the way down the face of this steep section. A mate and myself both crashed one after the other fell 20m or so from the midle of one switch back to the next. Landed in a tree. No cuts or bruises. Shaking like a leaf afterwards.

Ha a frame building jig will cost a fraction of the total machining costs. They would also be able to manufacture more in the same time period.

its probably cheaper to make them from billet than tool up and ammortize that cost over the numbers involved!

That’s why the frame is comically over priced.

yours was definitely constructive.

now was that a constructive post

Mine or yours?

The bike doesn’t look that bad really IMO.

It is as though Empire at the initial design stage sat down and said ‘what are the daftest most time consumptive & energy consumptive ways we could build a bicycle frame? We shall use as many as possible in one fell swoop.’

By coincidence I’ve just been analysing the posts on this forum, splitting them into the category of “moany dross that gets you through to lunch hour” and “useful”. You’ll never guess what the ratio is.

Quite a few (most of) are reasonable counter arguments for why this is a bad idea. I think you should count it again. This time split the posts into ‘useful’ vs ‘liking because it is different and bemoaning anyone who challenges the logic behind making such a needless bit of kit’.

Erm, the excess metal from CNC machining isn’t wasted, it’s recycled. Do carry on with this silly spiteful thread though.

Is it better to remove material and then recycle it afterwards or use less material / generate less ‘waste’ in the first instance?

One of these options is still wasteful of energy / time not counting the actual material waste (even if it is subsequently recycled).

i’m not sure if you are joking? or agreeing?

Both simultaneously?

it’s cast isn’t it?

The head tube and seat tower are cast

CNC milling and casting have a place, and could be used to make a really exciting structure that you couldn’t do with tubes….

Like intricate fuel pipes for planes where weight saving is a huge issue etc

is it Lenny Henry?

Racist.

It’s Frank Bruno.

Is there a treadmill involved? If not, I’m out.

Hell yes there is.

it would be dangerous both ways no? …

In your opinion which would be more dangerous would cause more damage to a human? A push bike with a ride weighing 80kg travelling at 20mph lets say; or a Jeep Cherokee weighing 1600kg travelling at 20mph lets say?

Think: Luke Skywalker preaching to/lecturing Han Solo about not believing in the Force, only days after he’s discovered it himself

You need to get out more.

Is the rise in cycling’s popularity necessarily a good thing?

Yes

Unfortunately, I couldn’t find Gordon the gopher doing a face palm.

Should Jimmy Savile’s remains be exhumed?

Hell yes. Then we can make his corpse into a marionette.

use his website?[/url]

All MTBers talk a lot of shit.

Fair point.

We’re in a fashion industry – if it was an engineering industry, the rear derailleur would have been consigned to road bikes years ago.

Chris Porter talks a lot of shit.

I wonder if this topic has been discussed much at all lately?

Ever?

Rarely

Get yourself on Facebook.

I was but it did my head in so I came off it.

hang on al, I’ll text you something provocative.

Thanks; however I’m still nowhere near.

about one every 7 mins.

24 hours a day, 7 days a week

Need more friends.

If only I wasn’t so unlikeable.

I wish I had eniugh friends to talk to so much that my phone bill could be £580.

However; no one likes me; not even my family.

Pubs, anyone still go to one to drink alcohol

Yes

Calling fixed wheel bikes ‘fixies’ – uncoolworthy of capital punishment

Just call them fixed

A dog got stuck somewhere?
