Ok cool, think I was erring towards PlusNet anyway..

Wow, ive been stalked lately by a huge Buzzard which made me feel a bit hot round the collar, hadn’t reasonably thought it might have a go…

should have called this thread….FAO all 14yr olds…………….

if i still had one, ide lick my thingamagig..

yeah, think the way the question was phrased was not great, came across a bit like….why are silly old men playing games…anyway chill out guys. Yunki, you ever gone bowling? paintballing? played rounders as a kid? think you know where im going..

Are you for real?. jesus, my kids went to school and there was an unauthorised fly in the room, actually tonight, we had a pet moth flying about, my god this is really getting out of hand……………..

trekster..you are bang on the money..

anything that isn’t crank bros? I mean anything..

hang on a mo….just got it now….ive got a really big nagging question on my mind about the future of my kids…I think im gonna ask some nerds I don’t know who ride racer type bikes off road about it…nice plan n all that but, my god, get a grip ffs, wrong forum nnnnnnnnnn all that..should ask some roadies

both severe shltholes?

sorry meant ****t

mine is new, 2013, doesn’t sound dry, more like a soppy **** than dry…are you rubbing yours before use?

personally, I would go for one that goes ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..wait for it……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………b………………………e…………………………..e…………………………………….p…………………………………………………………………………b…………………………………………..e……………………………………………………..e……………………………………………….p……………………………………………..b…………………………………………..e…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………e…………………………………………………………p………………………………………….

convert..sorry if I came across as rude…get your kids all the help they can get (I think daddy needs them too)…

mikewsmith…lol

maybe only someone a little daft would ask complete strangers fundamental questions about the upbringing of their own children…take a chill pill..hope im not rude..are you?

btw, have friends with 6 year old kids in 8k a term school who are thick as sh1t and cant spell…!!!!

convert…why are my screws loose? you seem upset..

such bs it’s scarry..

hmmm..have you thought about the whole picture…..i.e not just the school, but the way YOU are bringing up your kids…? the way you have posed the question wreaks of detachment…

that is messed up…..

long soft boring bike vs short snappy harsh funnest bike in the world type desicion…you decide

yep, ride where ever I like really within reason. I don’t plan a ride around them but if they are on route and suitable then I always have. Obviously ride according to the terrain/place you are etc and ride sensibly…

sorry but im too tired (cant be arsed) to post on this thread…

£50 for a lowers service…blimey what are you guys on. If you can cook a pot noodle you can service the lowers…probably takes about twice what it does to cook a pot noodle though..

As much as I love old zocchi’s for a lot of reasons why anyone would recommend them in the same thread as people saying bolt thru axles are essential is madness. Old drop offs etc are great but will suffer from so much fore to aft flex that you wont notice what axle your running at all. If your riding with any get up and go. The difference between a stiff set of qr forks and a stiff set of bolt thru’s is not that huge…. so much sh1t spouted on this forum these days..

Went from 130mm coil revs to 140mm air revs, tried it at 120 but just not as good. 140mm is perfect and it still climbs like a goat..

someone pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease close this thread now..

fwiw, I swapped from a Thomson to a haven. Gotta say whilst I thought the Thomson was perfectly stiff, the haven is definitely stiffer when cranking on the bars…

I used to deal with claims for the biggest aftermarket warranty provider in the uk. Most of these warranties are pretty rubbish but can be excellent, it largely depends on the dealers relationship with the warranty company. A real point of contention used to establish wear and tear or failure is this….sudden mechanical failure, well that’s a claim. gradual deterioration , well that’s not. Unless specifically excluded in your policy as a service item your ok I would say. One minute it worked, the next it didn’t, i.e. sudden mechanical failure….good luck

who cares, they all look like everyday bikes…nothing special

it’s singlecrack in our house..

what a pointless thread, its simple. 1 your ill. 2 you don’t try hard enough and eat too much compared to what you burn…it’s a mindset thing..

I have a pair of XT hubs with well over 30,000 miles on them, yes 30,000 miles and ive just serviced them, no pitting. learn to look after your bike. and shimano DONT do that either…(not that im knocking hope)…

I assumed everyone knew that for ever everyone has known that shimano chains snap, sram are better or just buy a kmc, which in my experience never snap, compared to the countless shimano ones ive snapped

Cool, I was under the impression that non ust or non tubeless ready tyres were ok with a stans/strips set up but not with ust rims…might try to find some cheap tubeless ready tyres to give it a go…

Shimano, about 6 years ago, still fine.

After re visiting Labyrinth with the kids I can tell you he has reshaped my taste in hair and budgie smugglers…

windows 8 is fine…give it another few weeks and it will be second nature.

my god, no bert jansch yet…check out nicola for an album
