dunno, how do you know if your living life well?

Ton, i think that you’re a bit larger than the average electric bike customer and a bit more mincecore lite too. hence the breakage. Definitely a warranty job, good luck getting it sorted.

davidjones15….im not 14 or fat, suprisingly :D even more suprising is that a show for fat 14 year olds was being discussed here…just gave my opinion. you in love with the moylesy or something? seem a bit defensive…

load of cr@p…freesat is free. if you need more tv tripe than that, you deserve to pay.

so sorry for you mate, i know people laugh but we lost a cat last year that we had for 20 years and it was horrible. Take solace in the fact that you gave him the best life…if only we were so lucky. remember him fondly.

doing the sdw tomorrow on a white bike…

fat, boring, humour of a 14 year old boy,twaddle crap sh1t filled ramblings of unfunny nonsense, reason enough to stop listening to that station…. good riddance

Southsea is lovely at this time of year 8O

lovely build but that blue/orange isnt working for me either…

im a bit worried about ours, it taken to wearing a red bandanna and reading guns and ammo….

ernie your a racist to cats! so funny. Terrorise, haha it’s not a tiger you know just a itty bitty cat.

Oh god not this again… people are not refusing to wear one they are choosing not to…each to their own.

We have a female that is now 1 year old, she is tiny and we were worried she would bet bullied by the 3 cats and labrador next door. We need not have worried, she is like a mini tiger, an absolute lunatic of a cat. Very gentle with the kids but has kicked the dog next doors arse despite being tiny, absolutely fearless.. Kills loads of mice and climbs up everything and anything. Had a cat or 2 most of my life but im my experience they are the coolest cats ever.

i rode to the village shop earlier, 1.5 miles of smooth tarmac, on my 140mm forked chameleon. All smooth sailing you might think, but upon approaching the shop i hit 3 or more lolly sticks and an uneaten rolo. Had i only had my lightning cat reflexes and not the help of a 140mm forked hardtail it may well have been peanuts for me…thank god for gnarr tec..
edit:my god i cant imagine living up north and having to go through that whole experience whilst feeling cold!

get rid, return them under sog act whilst you can , they will forever be poo..my riding mate has had no end of hasstle…they are poop

im running conti x king’s at the mo in 2.4, they are nice and voluminous, light, roll very well indeed and at the moment im loving them..

you lot cant be drinking too much beer (expensive wine i suspect), my bottle opener was all good till about a year ago when i realised it wouldnt open bottles anymore because it had literally worn away…rubbish

im glad i didnt buy a reverb just yet, ide jump at one when they come out..

Been down the ranger path a few times on a ht, great fun & really rideable.

Coldplay cool, that is funny. Broken Social Scene +1. Try The Hold Steady, Boys and Girls in America. Funny, anthemic, loud and sarcastic..

Leylandii/most conifers do not take any type of topping well. They normally look horrendous, fell those babies.

why should a bike puncture be cheaper to fix than a car tyre? I expect the garages are making much more profit than the bike shop and treat it like a loss leader. Anyway, plenty of bike shops are charging the same hourly rate as some car mechanics/garages…

put a plant in that pot will you…

Are you even for real? What do you really expect them to charge? They are running a business. What would a mechanic charge you to fix something simple on your car? What batfink said, hit’s the nail on the head.

Never have done a test ride, just do your homework. I mean how wrong can you get it, it’s only a couple of triangles welded together (maybe with some bouncy bits too)

buy a king you t1ghtarse.. i have 2, both bought via ebay from the states, both cost about 60 quid, got the griplock thingy so no scored steerer, one is 12 years old and literally thousands and thousands of miles on it, the other is 8 years old, many winters of muddy crap and rain,never touched them in all that time, 2 or 3 bikes each. my oh has been through many xl/fsa/orbit, whatever jobbies in that time, shes now 2 years on a cane creek 110 that was 30 quid in crc sale, all good till now but if it does die i will bite the bullet and put a king on hers too,has absolutely nothing to do with my ego or gonad size…(it is just a headset on a pushbike)….

its called privatisation…

I certainly wouldn’t dispute that their are loads of ti bikes that have given good service. There’s far too many variables involved to explain why one cracks and another does not. I agree that all materials fatigue and rust,crack,snap whatever. But I bet if you had accurate failure rates, the amount of people who’s ti bike cracked under low stress/normal load would far out weight all the broken ali,steel,carbon frames out there per bike sold..seems indisputable to me…

I’m still absolutely astounded that people are still prepared to buy a frame which is made from a material completely unsuitable for hard off road use. The number of ti frames that crack is huge and anyone trying to persuade you otherwise normally owns one and is trying to defend their own buying decision.

cr@p bros stuff

farmerjohn… do you mean the avid thingamajig thingy?

carbon is only made/created when a red dwarf implodes/explodes, whichever of the two it does..iirc

move the controls/grips in until shes comfy, apply hacksaw.

nope, not living in se england, roads are full of idiots and fumes waiting to send me to an early grave..

if your not strapping a second bike to your back with old innertubes you are going to get caught out (eventually)

im not taking the piss, it’s a ridiculous question…im currently using 140mm revs and im just mincing about on long xc rides (obviously ive got the wrong fork)…they will either feel good or bad depending on what frame the op is using…

whats am mean? are you really riding all of the mountain? which type of mountain are you riding?

still a honeymoon (or not)… ditto 9m is not really a long term relationship in the scheme of things…mtfu is good advice…find yourself a woman that will shag you for 23 years….

anyway all the real kids don’t skid on the trails, skids on bids is where it’s at now..

spin, i hope your name doesn’t elude to your riding style, any wheel spins will seriously wreck the trails for those of us that want to do big skids….
