    Every time they have some in lidl for £2.99 I get several…
    They steam up no more than my oakleys and when I lose them I don’t cry!

    Along with the STW mini-massive maybe it was a good idea! Better than having a water-proof foam lined box to keep an i-phone in 😉
    Thanks guys

    77mph during a race on closed roads – off the top of the col du galibier, heading towards a nice finish up alpe d’huez.
    It’s amazing what a punture on a climb can make you do on a descent!

    If thats the standard of quoting, I would be concerned about the work ethic…

    Usual on one customer service 😉 With a bit of luck your tyres (and mine!) will turn up!
    Other than that, I am not too worried – they are cheap!

    Only got them then as Hope put the price up 5% on Jan 1st 😕

    ps. straight pull with mavic 717’s!

    Last year, in a not at all fit state, I managed 155 miles in 2 1/2 days in the black mountains / breacons, with some really fit guys.
    Yours is not an epic – just a ride….
    EDIT: with some rocks 😉

    I too hit one at 70 some years back.. I still feel lucky to be alive and glad I was alone in the car. It nipped out and before I could react went up the bonet and through the windscreen, just missing me and taking out the passenger seat bits of the rear seat and the rear window on it’s way past!
    Insurance was crap and had an ‘at fault’ record. The deer didn’t make it and I went to hospital to get loads of glass removed from me. I tend to drive slowly at night now, and eat lots of venison 😉

    I got a package from CRC today – a set of rotor bolts in a box big enough to put 20 singletrack mags in 😯 The postage must have been more than the £2.99 I paid for the bolts 😛

    to quantify my pevious statement…
    RBS managed the banking of the business I worked for – they stopped the cash flow, I lost my job….
    RBS had my account – when I lost my job they cancelled my overdraft and stopped my credit card….
    RBS had my mortgage – when I lost my job and my credit was shot because they had decided to this, I lost my house….
    RBS employed my wife – she had to leave…..

    And bankers get a bonus 😈 😈

    If I could get a job in ‘banking’ I would do it for the country…
    Would you???

    35 miles of energy sapping mud in a southern national park, with a bunch of mates who like inapproipriate banter. Chuck in a pub stop and cheese, mulled wine and cider in a garage….. and…… I am smiling 😀

    I had some of this man flu – went down on 17th Dec and just starting to get better.
    Kept riding – a mate didn’t, I am fit(ish) and he is buggered 😯

    Hey Jim sorry to hear that….

    It seems lots on here got some bargains in store…. Fight them hard with your internet purchase time – sure someone will have got something you ordered, in-store after that time???

    They may be big but not invincable 😉
    Remember you have lots of buddies on here…..
