I know people say that any bike is a good bike, but this is not a good bike.

It looks like every tube is wrong, too long a shock maybe?

Yeah, the ad was good, fitted the main film very well.

Tell you what, it was a million times better than “vast”, what the heck was that all about?

“Here are some people riding bikes, just riding bikes, normally, plus, lets play some really cack loud euro rock at you!”

Endura strike, the best! Super warm, really waterproof, used them all last winter, super toasty dry hands!

The best place I have ever found for getting stuff off the radio is this site:
radioarchive[/url]
Downloaded loads of stuff no prob, thing is it is all recorded from the radio, not cd rips or anything.

Probably a grey area, but only same as taping of this radio.

Just had a look and they have series 1 of this series

Edit, and with a bit of searching I am finding the others series too!

Er, everyone? Kind Shock, the KS ones are what most people use, are you on about the cheap 27.2 one?

Yeah the saddle (a fizik ti giro!!!) is awful but comfy.

valleydaddy, er by using my thumb, that is how I will reach it! Can easily reach it whilst in normal position without taking hand of bars.

That is certainly progressive! Has a look and feel of an old video called 500 miles.

Looks like fun!

Yeah, just thinking the same as real man, it is designed to cope with high downward acting forces, and a light upward acting force (ie when it returns), but hanging it may affect seals etc, just don’t want to add to the already well documented reliability problems associated with these posts.

OK, but anyone actually know?

Aldi £10 waterproof cycling trousers, surprisingly not rubbish! Where them over lycra and you will be one warm happy bunny!

I am in Holmfirth, ride Thursday nights if you can make it over. There are miles and miles of stuff to ride round here, happy to show you round sometime.

Ya! Let's start a revolution! Riding mine for everything!

Yep, I can't justify it at all, I do ride drops and stuff, but don't need it, no one NEEDS a bike though do they?

Yeah they are pretty good, got two of the free pictures, but the prices are ridiculous, they will try their hardest to talk you into parting with more of your cash.

They will be your best friend until you say you with just have the cheap one!

A tabletop is what the aim is, but a proper table looks like this:

The jump where you tip your bike to the side is more like a motor cross whip (not a tail whip), it's just all about style.

Sounds cool, but Wednesday is my son's 4th birthday, would get hung up for missing it due to riding!

Ta anyway.

Nuts! I am back in rubbish old england then!

Coat them in egg, then loads of pepper and oats (porridge), then fry, amazing!

I am still looking for anyone up for riding the Ben next week, Monday, Tuesday or Thursday?

I thought that the 30th was the bank holiday, or is it different north of the border.

Cheer up balfa.

I love hike a bikes, did Helvellyn via a steep up route, was ace.

bigdugsbaws, ygm. Does your user name mean big dogs balls? Nice. 8O

Can't be a weekend I'm afraid, mid week only, sorry coylumbridge

Nice, anyway, been meaning to contact you, I am in Holmfirth and needed your local knowledge of the Marsden mtb trails!

Any chance of a ride Sunday evening or sometime next week?

Ta!

Bibs are way better, I always find normal shorts uncomfortable around the waist and bibs also mean you never get an exposed/cold back.

Make you feel good too :wink:

Cool, thanks, appreciate the advice, will go and see how they get on! :D

3 yr old is riding independently, so won't be taking the tag along.

They are ace! Yes, they are fake, but made from coolmax and the pad is super comfy. Fit on the shorts is superb, maybe they will only last a year, but don't be snobbish about it, they are genuinely great.

£4?

Been out riding with a guy who works at orange on a new five, he was ruling on it, did some massive jumps and really styled it up.

Must be the bike, they are that good!

He was called Ben, I think, nice guy.

Nick craig?

Cheers dirtynap, really appreciate your positive comments.

Orange/lime green sounds ace!

Like the thinking.

More please!!

Hey pete, I have had this problem, recently had to do 600 portraits for school, all needed rotating. Get picasa (free from google), once the pics are on the pc, picasa will find them and display them all as rotated. Just find the save to disk button and click it and voila, it saves them all rotated!

Solved so many problems for me.

its rich btw.

Yeah, don't try an hop the same as with spds, a hop on flats is all about getting the front end up first, get this up nice and high then throw your weight forward, you are not pulling the back end up!

Practice by trying to lift your rear wheel by just throwing you weight forward.

For manuals, I have found a little pedal to get the front end up high helps you find the balance point, feather the bake brake a bit too.

Flats rule! ( I am an ex bmxer, so love em!)

Have to agree with mamdirt, used a stem extender for ages, works like an old skool quill stem, trick is tightening your headset, you can use a ringo star thingy instead.

That is a top out spring, stops the fork clunking on return.

Yep been out, riding till 9:50 with no lights, ace! One of the best rides I have done it ages, found a ace big drop to old knackered bridge thing on a super tech bit of cheek.

Seriously, Glentress is like a big bmx track, man up and ride it rigid, I found it ace when I used to ride SS rigid, inners on the other hand, is a tad rougher, but I still think you should take the rigid, it will give all the six inch travel, body armour brigade soemthing to talk about, especially when you wup them on the downs.

Spooky wood is the nuts on rigid.

Nice to have ones self image sorted! :D

Ooh, the famous simon"controvesy"barnes is on my post, sir I feel honoured!

Sorry, that sounded condescending, thanks, I was sure someone had done it. I will be doing it on a Saturday though.
