    I had one- wasn’t silent but one the chain is lubed and some it transferred its fine.
    Didn’t notice any major noise when I was riding with it..

    As above, got some merino thickys and for the money, they’re pretty good.
    I’d recommend them.

    Not quite as seasoned a camper as you but starting the same journey next week with my three year old.
    Will prob start out in the back garden the first time, if that goes ok will progress to the Campsies for a night, then start thinking about further afield…
    Prob going to just use an inflatable double mattress for us both or poss just for him! Got him a decent sleeping bag. Bedtime-wise not sure, thinking about keeping the normal bedtime routine but not sure if it will be possible due to excitement! Him, not me.
    Anyways, looking forward to it, hope its enjoyable for all concerned!

    575s are awesome. Would love a more modern on with the tapered headset and maxle back end but still love my 2010 one! Always lusted after a mojo too!

    The jumpy one is very good. Loving the cuts in time with the beat, good song choice.
    Excellent stuff, and getting the props on Pb too- quite rightly!

    No worky on iPhone.. Not sure I wanna hear stuff like that anyway.
    Would have thought it would be encrypted like over here though!

    Got 3 pairs of the thickies- no where near as thick as a walking sock. Almost thinner than a cotton sports sock really.
    But very warm for all that and a bargain to boot- groan.

    Fair play for getting that for £600! Good frame, forks and kit.
    Well done- now go ride it!

    Hopefully not my 575 that’s my only bike at the mo but we have £320 a week to pay in childminder/nursery fees and we’re skint as it is so really struggling to find an alternative at the mo..
    Apart from that- my 04 enduro s works.

    28.2 Ilbs on my cheapo digital scales. Happy with that considering the reverb, tech m4s and the mostly xt build..
    Edit- had taken the rear mudguard off though!

    JFK library pretty decent distance from the finish line area if I remember rightly- just hope there’s no more in other areas.
    As said above, it’s a lovely wee quiet, compact city. Said it already but just a horrible, horrible thing to happen.
    I’m in no doubt that whoever did this will be found- hopefully still alive so that they can face justice.

    No doubt shock would play its part.. Not criticising them, just wondering.
    The 2nd one looked to be right amongst the crowd- horrible stuff- amazed that there only appears to be 2 folk dead so far- although guessing the injuries suffered by those affected will be horrible.
    Just shocking stuff.

    Have seen a vid online and when it goes off you see on or two random runners going to ground looking confused/hurt- that would be explained if there was ball bearings packed around the bombs..
    As per the comments above- think theres too much sensationalist footage when these things happen, and I appreciate that I have encouraged it by watching some of it. Will prob watch the 10pm news to check whats hapening- hopefully wont have anything too gruesome on it.
    Jeezo- mental.
    More mental that folk continued running through the smoke to get to the finishline afterwards, can only assume they didnt realise what was happening.. hopefully.

    Got to shout up for Hopes- have had tech m4s for almost 3 years on my 575 and they’ve been trouble free.
    Still got great bite and plenty of stopping power.
    I had heard of issues with hopes squealing and other stuff but was assured by the Evans mechanic that if the mounts were faced and the brakes set up properly they’d be trouble free. And that’s what they’ve been!
    Edit- could prob do with a bleed I suppose but still feel great so haven’t bothered yet!

    Is he Jack Reacher? Surprised he didn’t take him down and make sure he won’t ever be able to point a gun at anyone again!

    I was the same with my Rovsls and NNics- the centre channel is your friend as mentioned above!

    I’ve driven through a few old mining towns- down in Ayrshire, Fife etc..
    Places that still bear the scars of almost all the working men being unemployed at the same time with no other major employer nearby.
    Thatcher waged an uncompromising economic war against the poor folk whose only fault was being born in a pit town.

    I don’t agree with them but can understand why folk still get het up about it after so long.

    There’s a difference between referring to a certain type of oriental food on an mtb forum and gaining access to a huge governments servers and having a rummage about..
    Why don’t you ask that bloke who made a joke online about an airport being closed if it affected him in real life?
    I can understand folk saying that crap posted on here doesn’t have much bearing on real life but when things go too far on here (as they usually do at some point) then the Realworld (TM) has a habit of creeping up and suprising you.
    It’s happened to colleagues on facepage recently due to seemingly innocent comments posted on mate’s pages but they’ve still been chinned for it.

    Aye, had the qualifying on but its not exactly nail biting stuff at the mo is it?
    My eldest seems more concerned with his cars this morning for a change so I appear to have free reign at the mo tv-wise.
    Makes a change!

    Woodelo prob do the ash bikes, an mtb is apparently in the pipeline if their fb pics are to believed..
    Not sure if it could cope with a suspension fork though!

    I just removed the big ring, fitted a bash ring and a stinger, then shortened the chain slightly and fitted a blackspire stinger to keep it taut. You can adjust the limit screws on the front mech to avoid it going too far onto what was the big ring..

    The Nhs is not a fekkin business! It will never make a profit because its not supposed to!
    Why have sucessive govts treated it as such!
