Echoing that,

This type of injury is so close to home for us bikers! Wishing Schumacher and his family all the best for the future and hopefully they can regain some form of normality

Totally true.

‘Mantastic’ = a troll/****/prick.

Anyway, my n+1 referred to N= the number of wives/girlfriends +1 = fulfillment.

Bitching aside, actually I couldn’t give a crap… :-)

Question-
I’ve just bought a property (yay) with loads of halogen spotlights.
I want to swap them to LEDs.
Do I need to change the transformer if I’m changing to LED bulbs, or is it simply bulbs???

Don’t feed the troll (he’s probably got school in the morning).

spend the rest on bikes, coke and hookers

Happy days.

Wales is good value too.
I’d get this- comes with 12 acres of woods, coach house, stables and barn.

Whether you’re a fan of his or not, it is a freak accident which could happen to any cyclist/outdoor sports enthusiast.
I would expect a little more solidarity/sympathy from a bunch of mountain bikers.

My brother almost died last year from a head injury (being in a coma for 1 week), but thankfully looks like he will make a full recovery.

N+1

People with loud voices.

The number of people who assume all people like dogs winds me up.

Last night, at dusk, I was collecting in some logs from my wood store when I felt something bang into the back of my legs.
I turn around, and there is a bull mastiff type dog (past my waist) with no owner in sight, which proceeded to bark and try and jump up at me.
I was left to fight it off with a cardboard box for a couple of minutes, until owner turns up and calls it away without any apology or acknowledgement.
My house is quite secluded and I was more worried if bh junior was out there on his own.

Obviously I can’t carry a machete every time I step out of the house (it was in my garden), but I do think people with stupidly oversize dogs should keep them on leads.

I’ve thought long and hard about this.

Some useful information here- http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/probably-a-stupid-headset-question

I reckon I could rip through one of the thin thin ones with my bare hands, which is why I wouldn’t use less than the kryptonite cable lock I suggested above.
To protect something worth a couple of grand etc, I don’t mind carrying a bit of extra weight in a back pack, or spending £20 on a lock.
If I can help it I won’t leave my bike locked up at all, simples.

People who say brought instead of bought should have been aborted.

I’ve got one of these for when I have to lock a bike up.

Wouldn’t want anything thinner really.

DON’T waste money on expensive iPods. Simply think of your favourite tune and I hum it. If you want to “switch tracks”, simply think of another song you like and hum that instead.

SHOES last twice as long if only worn every other day.

SHOPPERS: Take one grape to the till. It won’t register on the low-tech, insensitive scales so you will get it for free. Repeat this procedure 100 times or so and you have yourself a free bunch of grapes.

EMPLOYEES: Only use the loo at work. Not only will you save money on toilet paper, but you’ll also be getting paid.

Assume everyone in a car is an elderly retarded moron.

On the ice pops- we had those but they had a different name. Gah cant think of it.

These by any chance?

A puppy.

Why are everybody’s bikes so goddam clean?

And what’s the best way to calculate nipple length?

I find it’s usually temperature dependent.

Now I run a 700 Lumen on the front and 2 L M Viz 180’s on the back, it has made the world of difference to how much space I’m given and no SMIDSYs since

Same here. I also notice oncoming drivers are much more likely to dip their headlights (probably as they assume you’re a motorbike from a distance).

Get yourself a bench vice.

I’d recommend my 2012 Fox 32 Float 150s- which you can have for £170 posted…. (here)

A pet monkey and some bananas.

That is a good thing, but best thing in the world, seriously???

I have had a £40 headset recently go missing with Royal Mail.
Thankfully, the well known mail order cycle shop refunded me out of good will (big up CRC)- but in future I’ll be using collect+ for everything I send.

Are Royal Mail trying to bankrupt themselves?

Bill Murray.

Last night I dreamt gypsies were trying to steal one of my eyes, and I was trying to escape by bike.

Mx5.

2 tea bags, 1 cup.
Posh as ****.

Did a 12 mile slog into a headwind this morning.
I’m hoping to ride back at 50mph.

Looks like you only need about 70mm travel on your forks though…..

Utter shite, dumb tv full of orange idiots. Why?

Good man.

Seriously, anyone who watches this garbage- have a word with yourselves.

Then how do you know it is rubbish?

From the picture you’ve posted and the media coverage.

I’m happy to say I have never watched this rubbish.

much to the horror of its tattooed owner.

I like the sound of that…

I’m not a dog fan though…..

I don’t have a dog, but can’t you just make sure the dog does not have access to the front door when the mail is delivered? Just put him in a different room and shut the door? Or am I missing something here? If it was my house I would simply put the dog in either the kitchen or lounge or dining room and shut the door….. Perhaps I really am missing something

That makes sense. Doesn’t everyone do that if they own a dog, and if not, why not?????

Happy days. :-)
