Tbh, middle moor/shooting cabins is always boggy & grim, the thaw will make things horrible

Sambob – when we both have bikes/finished exams etc I’ve got a couple of places to show you, if you know what I mean..

Edit: not in a George micheal way

The whole of macc forest/cheshire salt mines!

Bead into the middle of rim
Valve core off
Pump like ****
Insert jizz via valve hole
Screw in valve
Pump like ****

No soap or owt, worked for a me everytime (tempting fate now)

Ust rubber queen/maxxis here

Stuck it up in me local & on Manchester mountain bikers. All the best

Edit: fluff beat me to it, must be revising

Google a guy called Dick Proneke or however you spell it – should be all you need for log cabin inspiration

+1 bike factory in WB. Providing they bother to order it first time…

👿 how is it even possible to say like so many times in a few minutes

?! You don’t? Why ever not? I have to take extra! (unpaid). . Would love to be able to surf And do that DH race at Reunion

Always working shifts, bit of planning & shift swapping usually means 3/4/5days off on a regular basis & work pt which usually involves digging jumps & playing oily stuff & engines – what i’d do in my spare time anyway.

But getting the learning to dive somewhere for a few months itch

Stephen Morris – drummer for NO/JD. Man as. Used to live on the farm up the road, spent some of his fortune of tanks as we all would

Watch the TT
Build cafe racer with the old man
Use all my holidays for once

School only closed for us when the boiler packed in, usually the young ‘uns were allowed to go home & year 10/11 were still expected to come 2000/2006 btw

Covert – does everything on the list! Plus it awesome!

Dare2b windslam I think it green & cost 50 quid in the sales. AWESOME! 200Qquid less than gore but does the same job.

Don’t get hot init & I’m a sweaty ****

Similar story as a student. My flat was opposite 4 god-bothering art students who liked their early nights & very early singing sessions.

Luckily I had my Marshall avt50 with me. Used to leave my music on nights out often not returning til morning. QOTSA, wham, abc & primus were their favorites 😈

Ah apologies if you were on mtb, all is forgiven!
pics of said retro bikes?

Good point with roadies being more organised & strict but most I know ride for a gain, target, time or event. Seldom it seems that many just go for a ride & see where they might end up

That and cycling seems to be the main hobby or with little else on the side whereas with the mtb folk there’s other main hobbies/obsessions

With binners here, nothing worse than a road ride, beyond dull. Very dull. Really dull.

Easier to clean me mtb than me road bike after picking up all the grime from the road too, don’t know where thats come from

ffs, most of us ride bikes for fun, if the weathers crap we’ll find something else to do & there’s more to life than riding/training etc

Little bit in Marple, starting to stick

Working all hours
Working all tomorrow

there sizing is spot on but nothing like other brands.

185 & ride a medium but i’m right on the cusp of M or L

Frijji chocolate milkshake 2 for 1.50 at my local garage – unbeatable

Good news, I’m literally just down the road too, unfortunately not dh though.

Russell Howard 😕 failed childrens tv presenter so went into ‘comedy’

Best has got to be Lee Evans or Stephen Lee for me

Usually refrain from this topics as ‘someone’ usually pipes up to take the piss 🙄

If he’s stimming from the credits & music usually a sign.

But blokes are funny creatures, i’m sure most of us show similar tendencies – tool boards, woodpiles, immaculate sheds etc 😀

Anyway, work with some very severely people on the spectrum – teaching them to speak, interact etc – but i work in behavioral intervention, autism partnership & Peach ABA

so imo 2 years is definitely not too early for a diagnosis, the vast majority i have worked with have had a early diagnosis.

email in profile if i need it too

Loving the dog trout, what is he?

I love mine, no particular plan as such. Stick a cd on & listen to the end. Go fast, go slow, go hard etc. Use it 4 or 5 days a week. Usually before tea or breakfast is best

Materhorn

Heated grips!

More black chilli style tyres

David Dickinson – he’s orange

Disco dave?

Went smaller on the middle ring – 33t renthal as i like nice things & they are only round the corner.

Just binned the big & small rings from my triple, will get so dedicated single rings cranks at somepoint

Manage with 8 – 8 3days a week. 4 day weekend!!

Would of cheaper to get a mail order bride…

Shimano deores with saw tooth working sweet here if it helps

also, I’ve found its often quicker to push when its stupidly steep, no easier but deffo quicker.

Ah cheers, got me wide ratio/short & medium cassettes mixed up.

One question though, how horizontal is the rear mech in spinny gear with you guys?

11-36 cassette means medium cage mech however.

Ha, I like these threads as it prevents me asking the same questions.

Unless your racing up hills/ride infrequently etc then do it! Your set-up will cover you for most riding.

The only time I’ve missed the granny ring is after xmas or breaks from riding, knees & fitness soon catch up.

Plus 1×9/1×10 looks cool

1×9 33fr 34rr – struggle on really techy steep stuff but more down to fitness.

Don’t believe its ever been done before, or asked before..

Uncharted ground n all that
