    Its a gt zaskar 100 9r carbon 2012. There was a little nubbin thing that the front mech attached to but took it off when I went 1×10 as it was annoying me. Filling with crap.

    Tried a bb mounted one before but it wouldnt work as spaced it too far out, and no iscg mounts on the bike either.

    Would the bionicon not keep the chain taught thus keeping It on the chainring?

    The tool is 117 £ so not worth it. Personally I find them a little stiff to clip into. However it is a real positive engagement and you feel fully locked in. Great pedals just pissed I broke one.

    I would be the dad of two kids.

    I am secretly wishing I have a hidden talent for bmx and will be pulling all the tricks and showing the kids up!

    Rorschach that means nothing but how much :-).

    Trials no good dont think I will have the skills. Dont think I will on bmx but might be able to style it out.

    Nice bike peter, do you work at the shop? If so which branch?

    The reason for the change is a cut back in hours, initially she wasnt going to even get the same amount of hours. Her other colleagues have had the same thing done with no consultation period, and they wernt told the shifts that they have been doing for years were simply deleted off the rotas.

    Well this is it she does not have a contract! The company I work for work on tje basis that if someone has been doing the sane shifts for over 6 months that becomes their new contracted shift pattern!

    Personal favourite and ones I wish I could still get more readily were the brannigans beef and mustard flavour.

    BEAUTIFUL crisps, that made my eyes water.

    Do not start the engine again. You run the risk of getting a runaway diesel, which will seize your engine and cost a hell of a lot more.

    I talk from experience on my old 530d.

    Space monkey im afraid not.

    HManchester, never really thought about it, and see a lot of people go into recruitment from the retail sector. Im not adverse to sales, but couldnt say if I was particularly good at it.

    Thanks for all the the advice, it is appreciated.

    Dont get me wrong 40k is great. And yes the family could live without for a period of time.

    it doesnt impact on family life yet, but im not happy in my current role. Is it a career, I dont think it is where I am, longstanding colleagues with little progression.

    I need something that makes me want to come to work.

    MAttzzzzzzz I feel and understand your pain. I worked for a retailer where they said right you are just just going to be shopkeepers, no conference calls, minimal meetings. Just know your targets and drive for them. Guess what it worked.

    Can I ask what depression is?

    The reason I ask is that I feel I am going into the realms of depression currently and dont really know what to do. My current workplace Is extremely difficult and im just a retail manager but it is really getting me down. To the point where I have been taking sleeping tablets, I get extremely anxious, and im now at a point where I dont want to get up in the morning and more recently even don’t want to ride.

    Could this be the beginnings?
