    Confession time: I quite like it :oops:

    Midweek late night only though. And you still get someones screaming kids at 11pm on a schoolnight.

    All the work Gees put it over the winter is obviously paying off, I thought he was unlucky in Maribor, and totally deserved todays win, he was unbelievably quick on the pedals.

    Had a sliced up fresh pineapple this afternoon. Might even be some left in the fridge. Heaven.

    The benefits of a bash outweighed the benefits of a big ring for me.

    If I'm going fast enough to spin out on a double, I must be going down a hill (I'm not fast enough to do it anywhere else) or on a road, in which case, I don't feel the need to pedal any faster. Road is just a way to get from one trail to the next, and downhill, I'll be grateful for the rest.

    I now don't have to worry about snagging trouser legs, or cutting myself on a big spiky round thing next to my calf, or bashing a rock or a log, or having a chain too long.

    Plus its white with go faster stripes. How cools that :D

    Used my bike for the first time since putting the sample on, and I was impressed, nice and quiet, nice smooth shifting, and the chain looks nice and clean. I'll give it a few more rides and then buy a big bottle and stick it on my other bike too.

    It is a bit of a faff the first time you apply it, but by all accounts its worth it.

    Great vid, I like that. Chilled.

    I like this one of Cragg Ed posted earlier on facebook..

    I've got a Dakota and its fantastic for following a route on, its a great size to sit on the stem out of the way and easy to refer to when you need to.

    The screen is too small to do any real planning of routes, but its enough to check things on to get a clear view of where to go.

    I've not had any for the last 5 years. Apparently its £150 to join at the roadside, so I reckon I'm in profit :D

    I rode it the same day as Piemann, starting at Langsett barn, up to North America and then up the cairn and back down to Langsett Woods. I like it that way, the sanitized bit to the woods is mega fast as a descent and flows really nicely.

    I've ridden the Ladybower end and didn't think much of it tbh, but I think thats because I'm not good enough tbh.

    Why not get a home makeover show to do it for you.

    Maybe thats the plan.

    Ask on here, then cock it up completely. Then ring DIY SOS and tell them a sob story about men on the internet praying on her. The Daily Mail might start a campaign for her if DIY SOS can't help.

    They get paid for refering you to the vendor, and then share the money with you.

    Pretty much spot on IME. I just got my normal size.

    Impacts are the best, available in high or low versions, and in the awesomely cool (I like mine anyway..) black white and green Sam Hill version.

    I got mine off eBay BIN. Address label on the bag said they came from a large shop in Yorkshire who had them on offer for £20 more than I paid on their website..

    They're riding stuff me, and I'm sure a fair few others, wouldn't. Fair play to them.

    And my bike was (to me) expensive, and I'm shit. Still have fun on it though, so who cares :D

    710 on my FS and 690 on my HT I think.

    HT feels really narrow when you first get on it. I think it depends on your size what feels comfortable, 710 is about right for me i think.

    I loved the red, fast and flowing. Not at all technical, but theres a million and one places for technical riding.

    Was awesome last sunday. Really dry and sandy in places. Got very sunburnt and stuck in traffic, as the woodhead was shut on the way home though :D

    I love it. Online tracking is both a work of genius and the work of the devil too. I can't help checking every few hours where my new stuff is :D

    Most of the delivery drivers and the postman round here know me now, so if I'm not at home to sign for it, they bring it to round to work :D

    12 – 1pm usually.

    I'm shockingly bad at getting up at the weekend. Try to go out for a quick (30 mins) ride twice a week before work though.

    Makes you realise what a vast area Alaska is compared to little old england. Such a huge area, and absolutely nothing there but nature, not a single soul until they came into that one small town..

    Amazing.

    Even Kwik Fit would struggle to get an air con top up wrong, they just connect it to a machine and press the right buttons. A proper recharge drains, pressure tests and refills the system too.

    I've often wondered about organizing a two wheeled mass tresspass. Same place as the original, get the press involved, and campaign for the scottish system to be introduced here.

    I'll ask my neighbour where they got theirs when I go round to stab him to death with a rusty fork after finally snapping from the squeek, squeek, squeek, squeek, boing, squeek, squeek, scream, squeek, shout, squeek, squeek, boing, daddy he's done this, squeek, squeek, squeek, she's not letting me have a go, squeek, squeek, boing, crash, scream, sirens, ambulance etc etc etc etc everytime I open the window.

    Needs to be plugged into an exposure front light though, which pushes the price up a bit..

    "From starting pumping a flat tube air seems to route out thru the schraeder hole "

    It needs a little air in the tube so it 'knows' which hole to shut off. A quick blow (yes with your mouth, its a new tube isn't it?) is more than enough air for it

    Mine leaked through the other hole when testing it on a fully inflated tube, so i don't think its that. It's just crap design. If you dismantle the head, there's a small rocker, and presumably the pressure holds other valve shut. Except it doesn't, it just leaks.

    Indeed. What exactly are you a witness to? You didn't know anything about it until the police told you..

    There isn't anything to turn on the head of mine, and I think the Air Tower 4 is the same..

    Its just a lever you press down to lock it onto the valve.
