Yes. Riding near the old airbase at Woodbridge at Tangham on a hot Sunday afternoon. Came across a motorcyclist on a trail bike in the middle of the woods. He was just sitting on his bike in the middle of the path – all in black, dark visor down, didn’t acknowledge me or anything. Thought it was a bit strange – I hadn’t heard a motorcycle sound all afternoon, just the twittering of birds and I thought he’s got to be pretty hot in a full face helmet with the visor down. 50 metres after I passed him I realised I’d taken a wrong turning and returned way I came – the motorcyclist and bike had gone, without a sound. It was then I noticed the woods were dead silent and pedalled out of there as fast as could go.

I’m a Cyborg is my current favourite. Loved that film.

I bought one last year after a lay off of 17 years. This year i’m selling. Just couldn’t get back into it. I felt unsafe unless i was wearing all the gear and then found that I was too hot. When it was sunny it was such a faff with all the gear and i was sweating buckets + I preferred to be on my mtb. When it was raining I used the car. :(

so this year time to get rid.

I’ve turned into a boring old fart :?

It’s not a UK company. I doubt our laws would apply.

From having no imagination :cry:

try bt com – wiggle portsmouth

2 numbers – 023 9237 8552 – for wiggle ltd

pretty infuriating that no numbers on website (that i can find)

AS A civil servant we have always been told in my department, the reason our pay is low is because of the value of the pension. ie low pay but good pension. The pension has always been factored into the pay negotiations. Now it seems we are told it’s low pay and a crap pension. Ok – now pay me the going rate for the job then.( You should note that when the minumum wage legislation came into effect my department had to raise its wages so not to fall foul of the law) At the moment the civil service is paying more in as contributions than its paying out in pensions.

i use a car battery charger and one of those cigarette lighter sockets i got off ebay for a couple of quid

i don’t think you can replace seals.

you need to look at techdocs shimano – these give exploded view of the component and part number.

Your brake is here http://techdocs.shimano.com/media/techdocs/content/cycle/EV/bikecomponents/BR/EV-BR-M765-F-2274C_v1_m56577569830609091.pdf

Can’t see any seals there – seems like it’s a new caliper unless someone else knows different ?

theres a sleep option / and or power saver. press options on handset and go from there.

i’ve always used norfolk line – prefer to arrive at dunkerque saves some time. sometimes get great prices – last time about £39 return.

I can’t say I have been very impressed with the Ipswich branch of cycle revolution for various reasons, but can certainly recommend Phils – dead helpful.

Greasing will do the trick, tho a lazy bugger (me) might just go mad with the Gt85 underneath the saddle…………………………..

Surprised no ones said it yet…
We need pics of wife too, in case it’s her needing to be binned!

No point going to your local tax office on spec, because they no longer see anyone except if they've got an appointment.

you've damaged internal taper of the crank arms by overtightening. try loctite applied generously to the taper on the bb and then tighten – little bit loctite on threads.

when I had creaking cranks used to put some loctite on tapers – seem to kill the creaks and take up the slack. also check your pedal bearings

My ancient kona

no – hopeless, never in stock and can be pretty rude

When I got caught by a speed camera whilst day dreaming, I went out and bought a Road Angel. This notifies you when you approach a fixed speed camera or a mobile camera site. It has added benefit of having an easy to read digital speedo at eye level rather than having to look down at speedo.
