Just ordered a set of those forks off of Huck n Roll after checking with them that they are defiantly NON taper.

Micro Ti’s for just over £300 inc shipping & duty. Yes please :P

Cheers Stu i own you one :wink:

See I’d order those forks off huck n roll in a flash but like a lot of companies they show a picture of a straight steerer but the tech spec indicates its a tapper version that you get :?

Nah I’m sat down at the moment so perhaps its as well you give up on the beans as the air down here’s a bit, well, rare! :|

Elf – I don’t think its to do with feeling threatened by shorter people but you know when a giraffe sees a small yapping little dog running around under their feet so stamps on it to shut it up?

Yeah that! :wink: :lol:

If the dwarfs bring in a height tax then I suggest anyone over 6ft start refusing to reach the whiskey, beans, pornomag’s on the top shelves in shops for the little buggers 8O

That’ll teach them :lol:

I can live with that :lol:

Short people are inferior but as I’m 6’5″ tall that doesn’t rule many of you lot out :lol: :wink:

TJ – It’s mainly imported stuff from USA, Denmark etc hence the price. If its a higher ABV then i tend to stick to one or two. Don’t drink wine as a rule.

Singletrackmind – Not even the one? Which brewery? Odell, Anchor, Southern Tier, Stone etc all do 330ml. Have a look at http://www.mybrewerytap.com for a nice range.

Oh & btw its a tea night tonight :D :wink:

Some interesting stuff there guys. Thanks. :-)

Just to clarify i don’t drink pints & its not a case of buying in a case of Stella. I mainly drink 330ml bottles of craft beer which on average costs £3-£4 per bottle. If i have 2 bottles thats 3.3 units so if I’m drinking 3 of these 4 times a week then thats 19.8 units a week at most.

Do i feel the need to drink. No. I enjoy what i drink & do it to savour rather than get drunk. Do i drink more than i should. Yes. In an ideal world i wouldn’t drink at all but long & short of it is that i enjoy trying different beers. I don’t enjoy getting smashed. :wink:

We had a chat about it last night & i explained my point of view & things seem ok now but we’ll see tonight whether she reaches for the Mint tea or vino :?

Cheers :wink: :lol:

I can assure you that its not :wink:

freddyg – There shouldn’t be but on occasion there is, as you have just found out. :(

You should be able to set up accounts with both to keep an eye on what’s going on. You can also mark your credit files with notes IIRC although lenders won’t look at this as part of the credit score.

I would check both agencies on a weekly basis at least to see what is going on.

It might be worth speaking to both agencies to see if there is any way an alert can be set up so if a search is carried out you are notified or the lender carrying out the search is warned.

Hopefully this will stop any more accounts being taken out without your knowledge.

Again. Good luck.

To the OP – Keep an eye on BOTH credit reference agencies (Experian & Equifax). Financial institutions should update both agencies as to accounts & their activity but that doesn’t always happen.

Also keep in mind that it can take up to 3 months for the credit file to be updated so if the account was only opened a month ago it prob won’t be on there yet & nor will any searches that will have been done.

Good luck.

2 pages in & no TJ or Elf spouting their twaddle & copy/pasting sections of law books or H&S manuals.

Perhaps those monkey foreskins have got a life at last :roll:

Very funny vid btw & the Benton in London is genius :lol:

Yeah the first ride back after a few mths off with broken collar bone we did a 45 mile of road map ride as a group. Got 7 miles from home & had to get someone to come out & rescue me as just couldn’t function anymore.

Was horrible and something i will never repeat. Always make sure i have energy gels & a bit of food with me on long rides now.

Lesson learnt.

Bazinga :lol:

Best thing on TV at the moment.

The one where they camp out to watch the meteor shower is pure comic genius :lol:

Perhaps they are on to something!

*waits for a ready supply of cheap 29er frames, wheels & forks to flood the classifieds* :lol:

Been wanting to get there for sometime now but just not got round to arranging anything.

Guess it’ll get silly busy now though :roll:

Nothing to lose & shows you are keen.

Good luck.

Spend the day sleeping.

I hate xmas :roll:

52p out of every litre goes in oil & to the retailer the rest goes to the government & in tax*.

There’s a lot the government could do.

If they want to help bring down inflation & help the economic recovery without touching interest rates they could knock say 10-15p off a litre to help bring down the cost of goods & so help stimulate the economy by giving people a bit more money in their pocket. It wouldn’t solve the problem on its own but would help.

Endura MT500’s are the best glove I’ve ever owned and are strong enough to tackle a day or two’s trail building 8O

I found all spesh tyres I’ve tried are too loose on the rim to run tubeless (if thats your bag) so use Mud X’s with no probs*

*nothing will save you from the scourge that is green chalk 8O

To be fair given where you ride you only really need to drop the saddle if your thinking of tackling things like the various log rolls in Stanmer and even then it’ll only be while you get used to them. There is nothing steep enough around the park to warrant dropping it otherwise.

I do drop the saddle when riding around the Surrey Hills so am on the look out for one to put on the full susser but I’ll not bother on the hardtail as anything i need to drop the saddle for locally we normally stop at the top of to discuss, look at & then ride around :roll:

*waves*

Hopefully see you this Thursday for some slip sliding fun in them there woods :P

If you want to join any of the other rides that Brighton MTB & Sussex MTB do then best head over HERE[/url] as most of them get posted unless they are the normal Tuesday & Thursday Stanmer rides.

I think that makes sense :?

Try rebooting the computer with the tv connected & then go to source on the TV.

Scroll down & there should be a PC one. Select.

Thats what i do with my Samsung.

Paradox +2.

Love mine & am never selling it. It really is a do it all frame :P

Rocketdog i want your Maverick forks ! :wink:

Really?!?!?! Didn’t know they had that much stand over 8O

Ok I’ll be the one to ask. What is it brake-neck ?

*can’t open imageshack :roll:

Hardtails – Mythic (Banshee) Paradox with a 120mm fork. Although that 2Souls looks gorgeous 8O

Full Susser – Mythic (Banshee) Prime with a set of 29er Rev’s attached to the front!!!

Cheers for the idea re the Ventana Ton *runs off to source some non tapered 140mm 29er forks along with a moon on a stick* :wink: 8O :lol:

Stone beers are the nuts.

You can get them from these guys my brewery tap[/url]

Top blokes & great service :wink:

Hmmmmm I’d defiantly try a 2nd 29er to compare the Whyte to.

I don’t know what it is about it but it didn’t feel right to me…… or the other 4 people i have spoken to who have tested one! One of them has also tried the Carbon version & said this was a lot better than the alloy one i tested.

For the record I’ve tried quite a few different 29ers & ride them all the time as haven’t owned a 26″ wheeled bike for almost 3 years.

The Whyte was by far the worst I’ve had the misfortune to throw my leg over* 8O

*this is just my opinion.

Hope you enjoy it more than i did. :P

That seems like alot of money for an alloy full susser to me. 8O

Also does “don’t know when they are getting any more in to the UK” really mean “we need to shift this one as the 2012 models are on their way in the next month or so” ? :?

Trailrakers or Mud X’s are your friend :wink:

Fitted the Mud X’s and have managed to find the slit in the tyre that i got on some flint at the end of last winter!

What’s good for getting Stans juice off clothes, walls, floors, dogs :?:

Alex – I’m talking about narrower tyres that don’t clog as much. Sticky enough to handle wet roots & stuff….. Moon on a stick :wink:

Looks like that’s my evening sorted then, better go clean the bike before it gets dark or it won’t be allowed in the house later. :(

Cheers guys

Phew :D

Nice bikes btw.

Leku – It that a crack running across the non drive side chain stay? Looks like an impact mark just behind it :?

Ok firstly if you own the property jointly & so the mortgage is in joint names then you have joint and severable liability for the full debt so any missed, late or incomplete payments will reflect on your credit file as well as the wife’s. It’s not enough for you to just offer to pay your half in the cases i have dealt with over the last 15 years.

Secondly did you notify the lender that you were not living at the property? If not then how could they have known that you weren’t getting the late payment notices & court summons? It is your responsibility to keep the lender informed of any changes in who is living in the property. Sorry if that sounds a bit harsh.

Get a solicitor who specialises in divorce, see if you are able to get legal aid and ask the lender for copies of ALL correspondence sent to the house from the point you moved out so you have records of what happened & when. Keep copies of your bank statements showing the payments you were making in to the account the mortgage was coming out of.

In short unless the property is sold, the ex buys you out or you buy her out, assuming she or you can raise finance which is unlikely even with the current lender given the missed mortgage payments, I can see no way you would be able to get your name off of the mortgage. When someone’s name is taken off a mortgage the lender will always have to asses the circumstances of the person left on it to ensure it is affordable etc.

That’s what i would tell any of my clients if they were in a similar situation to yourself.

Good luck.
