+ 1 for Ribble

Although just hope that you don't need to send it back to them or make a warranty claim!!!!!

They're not good :?

My Bank Holiday plans are going to consist of –

Today – Ride to work and back
Sunday – Ride to work and back
Monday – Ride to work and back

I believe that the 3m sticky stuff is pretty good.

Be very careful. I had a custom head badge for a while. Not any more

Maybe 3m isn't the answer then :-(

I'll ask Jen about fitting it once it arrives. There must be a few people who've fitted them to a Ti frame.

£114 is a lot of money though! Does anyone do this in the UK? Bit cheaper?

I think there is a fella in the UK that does head tube badges, not too sure of his details though or if he's any cheaper.

I went with jen as she was highly recommended by loads of people. having a look at her website, she's done loads of interesting and cool badges 8)

As for gluing: I assume you're sticking Silver to bare Ti? Consider Araldite Rapid Steel. Really tough stuff. Try and get a bit o advice off adhesive experts though; there may be some weirdness with Silver and Titanium…

Yeah it's going to go on a bare Ti frame thats a dull matt finish. I want to make sure I get it right, I don't fancy the thought if it dropping off on a ride :-(

Goodridge silver braided ones on my Obed.

I did have black on at 1st, but the braided ones look really great.

Glad I changed.

I've been running XT chainsets with 44 / 32 / 22 rings and 11-34 cassettes on both my bikes for ages.

No problems 8)

Very nice, are you going to glue it on or some other way? I'd be scared of it dropping off mid ride and losing it

That's the bit i'm having a dilema about :-(

I believe that the 3m sticky stuff is pretty good.

It's turned out even better than i'd imagined, I'm over the moon with it :-)

Jen only had my rough sketch to work off as well.

It was £114 all in including the delivery from America to Isle Of Man.

It no doubt sounds like a lot, but the amount of time and work that Jen has out into it; I thought it was worth it.

It'll look pretty cool on my Obed 8)

I can't speak highly enough of Jen to be honest.

Jen Green

Finally finished :-)

Just got the final pics through from Jen……

I can't find a picture of it, but……………..

I thought Jo Burts white Zinn with flowers and white onza porcs was really cool 8)

I'm cheating on this one to be honest, but I love a matt Ti frame with some well placed anodised coloured bits :-)

I am partial to an early 1991 GT paint job though :-)

Can't answer your question.

But can I just say a MASSIVE thank you for highlighting this for me on Eurosport :-)

I didn't realise it was on.

Has it be regulary serviced by a specialist?

This is usually a requirement for any warranty :lol:

I run XT but only 'cause I got a package deal with a full groupset.

IMHO the SLX looks a lot lot nicer, very XTR ish 8)

When my XT wears out, I'll be replacing it with an SLX

The lime green sounds really good 8)

Although I think that a dark metallic gunmental grey would go well with the stickers :-)

nunuboogie – Blue with the pink bits looks really cool 8)

What colour are the new stickers?

Having OCD when it comes to bikes, I could never have stickers that clashed with the frame colour :oops: lol

I now have to sit in a transit van in work on night shifts just because it's the only thing with a heater

Ha ha! It's t-shirt weather down here in That London tonight! Really warm.

They always say it's warmer down south :-)

get a tick-hook from a chemist's shop

That sounds painful 8O

My Springer tends to pick them up quite a lot.

Touch wood, I seem to have escaped

Is it a case of having to pull them out with tweezers or is there a less painful method? 8O

He look's soooooo happy, it needed to be said twice ;-) lol

My dogs would love it there.

I removed the nationality from the mechanic. It's irrelevant. And unfortunate that the person at Glentress making horrible comments in French to his friend didn't realise my French is good enough to understand. But it's still irrelevant. Misconceptions come in all nationalities

You should have replied something back in French :-)

The look on their face……………. priceless :-) hee hee

Had already sort of mentioned this here…!

Must be the worlds happiest dog :-)

Probably one of the happiest dogs ever :-)

I can tell it's summer as they've turned the heating off at work and I now have to sit in a transit van in work on night shifts just because it's the only thing with a heater :-(

I've always found us mountain bikers to be a friendly, chatty and outgoing bunch.

All one family 'us against the world and we have something special that the others don't know about' type of thing :-)

Daily Mail is Tory and I thought that the Mirror was Labour or so I've always thought.

Not too sure on the others though and I may well be wrong on the two above!!! :?

I'd love a Roberts Dogsbolx in a metallic olive green with rigid steel forks, M900 XTR, 231cd rims and blackwall Smoke Lite Comps :-)

It's a bit like a Smart Car and A class.

It's for folk that want a 'Badge' but don't have or want to spend the money.

The A1 looks nice though :-)

I never really recall peoples weight, although I usually notice peoples height for some reason??? :?

Anyone I see on the trail, I always think "Good on 'em!!"

I feel a lot of respect to anyone out enjoying their bike :-)

It can't be a suprise surely…..

Politician in two faced shocker!!!! :-) lol

I left the UK 3 years ago, but i'd really struggle to choose someone to vote for.

They all seem like dodgy salesman :-(

What do you call a Mexican carpet fitter………………

Ándale! Ándale!

8O

I'm a bit 'green' when it comes to official mtb'ing technical speak….

But is it really called that??? 8O

Parkpre bikes, not too sure if they're related to the old Parkpre.

Parkpre

When I was around 14 to 15 yrs old I got chased by some National Trust Rangers in a Land Rover for riding my bike I shouldn't :oops: :oops: :oops:

It ended with me riding down a track which I knew narrowed to a gap that they certainly wouldn't fit a Defender through.

Very shameful to be honest :oops:

5ft 7 with 31" (ish) inside leg

16" seat tube C-T with 22.5" eff top tube and 70mm stem – XC

18" seat tube C-T with 22" eff top tube and 110mm stem – Touring bike

I run my seat with a measurement on 26.5" centre of BB to seat rails.

Make people see common sense and take others feelings and beliefs into account.

Another negative is that with no backside hanging out, you've got nowhere to park the bike :lol:

Garmin for me as well :-)

I wear mine in the cold weather as they aren't as draughty, keeping me warmer :-)
