Did wonder about that and how to justify or just **** it and it see…

Aye, one or the other.

Let’s face it, going to be worth the cost in the end, I’ll fire off an email to Craig and get the ball rolling…

Wondered this, probably easier to buy some forks in the States, ship them to Craig then have them shipped to here…

Honestly, to do list tombola.

Every single thing I need, like or should do is on a little post it note.

If I pick it, got to do it.

Made a 4ft x 8ft sandpit for a mate’s kid and had to use stuff I had to source for free.
Got me out and I felt like riding as a result.

10 speed link running 12 speed SRAM, all is well 6 rides in.

Cursed it now…

Very similar here BWD, I’ll drop you an email shortly.

I’ve gone from being the warmest person in the world to freezing all the time.
Impossible to get and stay warm, then on odd occasions roasting. I’ve worn gloves riding, much to everyone’s surprise!

Had a lot of time off the bike, nearly 4 months and I’ve jumped straight back on in winter, so maybe I should lay off longer?
Anything prolonged up & down floors me and I can barely breathe in.

I’m also on B12, GP has also put me on ferritin, vit D and some others in the meantime.

How have you found sleep?

I have 3 thank you cards, which I am very proud of 😆

I did a placement for 8 weeks in neuro rehab I think when I was 18, but for whatever reason I did history instead of OT at uni.
I’ve spent 2 years trying via the apprenticeship route, trusts seem keen, but no further luck.

As for the workplace.
I couldn’t imagine working in a non-mh setting now, stuck with boring **** taking photos of their shite lunch talking about their shite life. I’ve always found the young people polite and ask how you are doing and what you’ve been up to. Also, much more fun to see someone’s shite lunch flying across the room!

I’m gonna sort my uni application out in the next week. Anyone up for going through my personal statement please?

Fantastic thread.
Been meaning to post something similar for a while…

Any thoughts on routes into it; apprenticeship versus degree?

Me too.

Know a few who’ve gone Z1 coil and haven’t looked back.

Just sold my last pair of RC3 ti’s

The RC2 damper has the Richie Rude/Aaron Giwn shim stack iirc.
Changing that helped loads, as did the Lufftkappe.
The Grip 2 forks are much better, no longer feels like I’m riding a whacker plate.

Also looking for a fork which is as good as the old stuff 🤷

McDonald’s car park in Bolton at 11pm.
£100 and 16 years later Barney is still everyone’s favourite

Buy the flat next to #1 Peebles road.
Get loads of bikes, kayak, decent camera and spend the other 395k on cake and coffee…

Never thought I’d see the day that living in Congleton in positive light 😉

I’ve got a few new standard ones going if you need, I get a replacement everytime the frame is warrantied.

Done so, absolutely no rush.
Happy to wait until PM’s work again…

Fine, anything over 2.4 and mega wide rims yer ****.

My sister is in the same boat at Kings studying nursing.

YouTube videos on how to take bloods…

Fantastic, cheers 👍

Been amassing as many pairs of the 8 track shorts as poss.

Alloy Tyee or stumpjumper frame, that’s what I’ve narrowed it down for now.

There’s also the full moxie frame at third…

The Hotspur Press factory will be the next place to turn.
Same exposed brick wall pitch pine floor at a daft price as all the other flats in town…

Anyone successfully insuring a panel van in Manchester here?

ATS Cycles in Macc

The Pace hardtails come with rack mounts

I was getting them weekly, then over lockdown once, when I’ve actually round round to selling shit…

Rimpacts on two bikes here, given the state of them and that I’m now running tyres until they are almost slick, definitely worth getting them. Saved me at least 4/5 tyres getting binned…

Both 140r/160f if you want, lifetime warranty etc.

I’m on my third Offering frame in less than a year but they’ve been good, so have Transition for mates who’ve had issues.

If you are up North at any point happy to go for a ride.

I’m plagued with the thought that the Evil is mega flexy in the back end but it’s the shit wheelset. Spent an evening on a SB6, which was sweet, but worse than the Offering for being flexy. Mate loved mine, said it climbed really well without locking the shock out.

Demo’d Sentinel, certainly not as good a going uphill…

If you go Evil, look at going frame oh at least.
Don’t want to be lumped with a 6.5k bike dripping with Sram and E13…

Look at the equivalent spec Geometron or Transition wise…

Also, loads out from Walsden way, you’ll work it out, all on Strava.

The classic route would be sweet, https://flattyres-mtb.co.uk/route-guides/yorkshire-mtb-routes/hebden-bridge-heptonstall-moor/

But loads better stuff to had in Hebden

Best intentions but everytime they pinged off in a different direction.
Like the left-hander at rounders.

Where are you getting the different adjusters please?

Yep, exactly that.

I put a sandwich bag over the lever second time round however…

Strava and take the GPX from that.

Zod in marketing now?

Mine are still drying out 6 years later.

Is Liz Kershaw on here?

My Love Honey order.
They are like watermelons right now

Ta, they’re sending me a new 35mm on so it’s good.

Have to admit, reading through all this has reminded me how good the riding is around here.
Haven’t ridden secret sausage in a years now.

Always interesting riding SS in the heather!

Email in profile.

Managed to surround myself working with autistic individuals for the past 10 years. Everyday is full of the weird, wonderful and funny.

I know all about Lou Reed’s favourite cafés, walks & records. The life cycle of Narwal’s and Metal Gear Solid. Then been brought fresh bread at lunch. The neurotypicals didn’t even look up from their phones…

Rather happy with my 3 pairs. Will be quite happy to get a few more when these eventually die…
