Cheers StuE

I'm doing it, it'll be my first event :D. How do you know the route/climb? I thought it was the first time it had been held at Grassington.

Give me strength.

Why? Are you having trouble getting a tyre on a rim?

I've had a couple of burps with the Ralphs, but not a massive lack of pressure and they are still ridable. I've not had air loss over time though. That's using the Stans Notubes solution. I think the ghetto will seal better with Ralphs than a rim strip will as the fitting is more snug.

I found BMX tubes far easier to inflate and seal than pre cut rim strips at £18 each or thereabouts.

If you get a puncture the sealant will seal it. If you change tyres you can still use the ghetto rim strip. I've successfully used it on High Roller 2.35 Kevlar, Racing Ralph 2.1 Triple Nano jobbies, Maxxis Crossmark 2.25 Kevlar, Maxxis ADvantage 2.25 Kevlar, Continental Edge 1.9 Wire, on Mavic Crossride and 717 Rims.

Replaced mine with a 5800, th dogs danglies and cheap, only prob is the camera isn't as good however the GPS is far far better.

Out of interest, how long would you leave it after the winning bidder hasn't got in touch or paid before you re-listed? Is there a procedure?

Difficult to say realy, probably about a week maybe. I had an issue with one guy who never responded to my messages until I said I was going to open a dispute but he'd already posted the item by then. Everything was fine really but his communication was terrible, he didn't even leave me feedback and when you're spending 300 quid it would have been courteous to give some.

+1 Great Service when I ordered my Mmmbop.

Hewitts in Leyland have them. I had to have one replaced about a year ago and they were a bugger to get hold off, took about 10 weeks iirc as they weren't a stock item.

I second the DHB bibs very comfy.

ODI Ruffians have been fine for me for the last 2+ years

In cheese making we've got all manner of odd stuff like cheese irons, piercers (for putting holes in blue cheese), bloody great knives for chopping curd, Citric acid for one particular variety, phenol as well, oh and dead beetle juice. Here's a link for our cheesemaking video. The production company buggered up on one bit however. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4llac9fTo8w

Very good! Just takes a week to fumigate the kitchen!

TBH I'd take your incoherent rant a bit more seriously if you'd actually done as they asked and returned it, and also not gone through the motions of pretending to hide the company details then signing off "we all know who I'm talking about"- maybe you've got a legitimate beef but you're not going about things the right way if you do.

I agree, why just assume that nothing will be done if they've offered to have a look at it? As a consumer you're still protected. Running to STW before they've even had chance to rectify the problem is a bit lame.

You can spend a good few hours goofing around at lee quarry. To be honest most of it's fun.

Unfortunately we only deliver to wholesalers in the capital, not any of the smaller fromageries sorry :(

Mainly I just sit there. But otherwise food safety, hygiene audits, site visits to suppliers, product development. All sorts really. I also do with H&S too. I also grade cheese for quality etc before sending it out.

Reblochon and Raclette both smell horrendous when cooked. If you get a nice one like our Savoie then it's ok if you can get past the smell. If you're interested still get in touch with them before 4pm tonight as we'll be delivering to them tomorrow.

The nearest is Teddington Cheese in Teddington about 40 minutes drive. They stock Reblochon probably about 15 quid for a whole cheese.

Gee Jay where do you live we may have a customer in your area? I'm a technical manager for a cheese wholesaler and dairy btw.

Any chance that the shock eye to eye is too long?

Just spent 2 days in that tent in the dales. Absolutely fantastic for the money. It rained and we stayed dry too! Loads of space too. We bought ours last weekend. missed out on the 20% off offer they had on though :(

If it's just for setting up a bit of masking tape works

Milk tends to set me off which is a bit of a bugger considering my job.

E45 Cream when your skin is damp after a shower (You must use it every day though. Hydro Cortisone for flare ups 1 week max I was recomended, but I do have it on my face. I have Seborrhoeic eczema, find out which type you have as there can be varying ways to treat it. I also take vitamin B6 and B2 supplements which is great at keeping it at bay. However there is the odd nasty flare up. Resist the temptation to scratch it too, in case it is fungal you don't want it spreading, particularly to your head then it's a bugger to shift.

+1 for SKS

Here are pics of mine. A few second hand bargain parts and a few new parts too. Final part was the white stem cap that was out of stock for ages. Conditions for building the bike were that I'm not allowed to ride it until the 5th of August which is our wedding day and I'll be riding it to church!

I was up there today and there were a few folks filming at the pump track. No idea who it was but it didn't look like STW types.

The accident was on the front page of the Longridge News today. One of the guys was Nick Cowell (my Fiances parents next door neighbour who we all know quite well)He was basically in the wrong place at the wrong time. The rider of the Black Kawasaki was overtaking a car over a crest and Nick was in a hidden dip. They were both killed instantly. Police are appealing for any witnesses or people with more information should contact Traffic Sergeant Matt Knowles on 0845 6060247 quoting 121 000 82755. It'll probably be online within a day or so on the Longridge news website.

My girlfriends next door neighbor was killed yesterday in a motorbike accident. He left behind 3 young girls and a wife. He was a very successful electrician just about to move to a bigger house too. Such a huge shame, really nice fella too. He's from Longridge near Preston.

I didn't think many folk had an Acorn Electron I had snapper too! and the space commader game in the card board box. Bloody hard to find games for they were. I was chuffed to bits when I managed to get hold of paper boy.

I had the same issue on some Juicy 7's, but that was my fault as I mistook the grub screw for lever reach when I first got them. You can probably buy the pin and screw from CRC which is where I got mine from. I did use a bolt in the meantime however. But when it actually went missing I had a hunt for a small twig so I could happily carry on my ride :D. No idea what the bolt is like on the carbons but this is what I bought Juicy 5 & 7 push rod kit

I got mine for a fiver (500ml) from our local Lloyds pharmacy. Co-operative pharmacy "don't stock it anymore".

To be honest the 5800 has way surpassed the N95 I used to have and I look forward to the N8. There are plenty of outdoor GPS apps for the 5800 too such as Timbrel outdoors however some have issues registering it.

I've had my Optilabs for about 2 years now and they're great. Their customer service is also second to none.

PDF Split and Merge is a pretty good I find. It's free too.

wtf?

Handy thing to have if you come off you're bike and can't make it back to civilisation and managed to get a message to someone. I have one of these Emergency Bivvy . Tiny little thing, hardly takes up space and weighs next to nowt.

Super tacky and a 2.35 High Roller is much better than a 2.1. I think a lot of folk have found that the 2.1 High Roller just doesn't compare to the 2.35. Surprisingly I'm giving the ADvantage and High Roller combo a go on my Mmmbop.

Wasn't it the porn movie from Jacqui Smiths husband?

That was a cracking night ^_^
