joo suck at teh futbol

Depends on how much pocket money dwarfs get these days

GrahamS sounds about fair to me.

When I'm in charge:

1) You wont be allowed to ride your bike on the road until you've passed your driving test in a car.

2) Women will not be allowed to drive cars.

Well, present company excepted, how many insecure ones do you see? I Had to warn a guy on the M6 because his was falling off. It's just too easy to get the fitment wrong. Most people cover their lights and numberplate with them as well, and don't bother with a trailer board. That's why I can see them being phased out
Personally, I wouldn't use one again because they are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much faff, and I have a towball mounted rack and an estate car!

Takes about 20 seconds all-in to fit, doesn't cover my number plate or lights and has never fallen off.

Oh and it only cost me £30.

Happy days.

That said, I wouldn't use one again and I can see why someone might want them banned.

Why?

K2 = Outstanding skill level and superb viewing
Cage fighting = Utter shite

*note to self*

Dont bid on my own stolen bike to get it back, let someone else buy it then report them to the fuzz for recieving stolen goods.

NN front and rear.

I cant be arsed changing tyres so I'll jut avoid muddy trails/stay in 😉

Freekin moron!

"loamy" – Here we go 😉

If there are rocks naturaly on the trail so be it, let's ride!

Putting loads of house brick size rocks half sunk into nice swoopy parts of the trail to make it "more technical" = FAIL

Jeyboys will moan it's not swoopy and flowing anymore.
Gnarly dudes will still say it's not gnarly enough.

Double fail.

Solved.

Doggie (this came up with a girl I was dating recently, and it occoured to me when she mentioned it that I've never actualy done that!)

GTFO! 😯

I've never eaten baked beans…ever.

A2Z disk adaptor?

Easy Jeans do a 36" inside leg I think

My tall mate used to only wear Easy because of this.

I find Diesel about the best even at 34" they are generous.

I might get me one of those…..

Could be worse CF they could go home to read GQ as if it was some bible 😉

Yet again ther ref was your best player.

😯

He wanted your bike not your ass, get over yourself.

How exactly is he riding his bike?

Up to his waist in a bog?

But I'm sure that's acceptable as it's a mountian bike and it in normal UK weather conditions 😆

RF FTW!

Not at all.

We're suggesting you should take responsibility for your own actions.

You ride it into the ground it'll break.

Obvious.

Read the thread again.

I think the "plastic cap" he removed is the puller cap, dont you? 😉

chakaping is right.

DezB, shouting, shouting, what's all this shouting?

From RF website.

Q: Do I require a special removal tool for my X -type cranks?
A: No, you do not. There is no “tool” other than that the "puller-cap" already installed on your drive arm that will do all the work for you.
*There is no need for the 10mm cap to be removed for the installation/removal process at any point.

You removed the puller cap?

Put it back together and try again.

Why steel?

Does he have a beard or is he really old?

WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!!!!11!!

Go ride your bike.

Any girl who says no to anal sex

They normally shout it loudly throughout ime.

but after a wash down they should be serviceable again

They are.

Change the scratched stantions, new chainrings, strip and grease bearings etc.

The bike in the above pic is typical of people claiming they were JRA 😉

But this is the UK!!!111!!

There are some **** strange people on here who think that parts should not be designed to work within normal riding extremes.

You are wrong again sorry.
The kit on that bike is not designed to take that amount of abuse and saying "normal British weather/riding conditions" makes no difference.

The stantions will be scrathed to f@ck and back, the rear mech only stayed on by a wing and a prayer, the chainrings will have worn down to ninja stars after an hour or so of grinding, the BB will be stuck solid and I would EXPECT all of that.

That's not a manufacturing/design fault it's a common sense FAIL.

LOL at bling
Someone will be here in a minute telling you that MTB should be able to handle that…

coffeeking already did 😉

I hope the owner doesnt mind me reposting this pic (good effort BTW!)

If you tried to warranty any part on this bike and showed the manufacturer the picture of how you rode it he'd be perfectly entitled to tell you to go p1ss up a lamp-post.

Customer expectation is the problem.

Incorrect, because design and manufacture are two different things If your manufacturer has a fault, or your materials are not up to spec you need the warranty to cover these failures. It doesnt mean the product is inherently bad, but maybe a metal supplier screwed up the composition, or your bonding process got too cold and that batch doesnt hold up to spec.

Wrong.

It is sold as a product an it's the product that has the warranty.
Your issue as a manufacturer vs supplier is completely different to your issue as manufacturer of the product v the consumer.

As an engineer (oh dear, rolling that one out!) I'd expect that any product/part/item that I design lasts for AT LEAST the warranty period given any amount of abuse possible in normal conditions

No need for the warranty then 😉
The companies would save million$ on setting up the warranty scheme and service network.

Any dog taken outside of the owners home should have to wear a muzzle.

Why do us lot accept shoddy goods ?

Because a 0% defect rate on a mass produced products is impossible to achieve?

For every 20 people complaining on this foum there are 1,000,000 people happily using the same product.
