I think I may be becoming STWer-ist.

I genuinely never heard of the word “slope” as an ethnic slur before: I just had to look it up.

I now think we should petition the IOC to change the name of the Slopestyle event to “mucking about on the side of a hill”.

Twang-come-crack

Sounds like a village in Somerset.

Me neither. I bought a Brodie Holeshot from him. Seemed like a nice chap who was just running PB as a sideline.

I think Progressive Bikes is a failed experiment.

It ain’t your fackin boozer, Dyer.

It can matter. Depends how much thread you have on your spokes, I believe. It will probably be fine. With the 14 mm nipples, I generally use 1 mm shorter spokes.

Yeah, currently not feeling the love for off-road riding. Just happy doing my 12 mile commute. I’m sure It will come back eventually. Not done a great deal since October.

People a few doors up the road objected to our plans to build a single-storey extension at the back of our place because “it would spoil our view”. Your view of what? Our house? Needless to say, their objections were ignored. 😀

Can’t believe no one’s mentioned the final episode of Blackadder Goes Forth

Wibble

Ground Control S-works 2.1s here, front and back, tubeless style on my hardtail. I think they roll very well, and find them predictable in most conditions. I leave them on all year round.

Edit: it has to be lime, not lemon.

* High-sixes duck man *

I follow Bath and Bristol

😯

That’s the first time in 42 years that I’ve heard such blasphemy… ❓

Aye, but money well spent if it works. I’ve had great results from sports massage for neck/shoulder pain. The treatment itself hurts, a lot, but within a couple of days things settle down again.

Edit: inevitably in true STW style, someone will be along soon to rubbish sports massage

We have that Bosch ^ up there. I am told it cleans clothes very well 😀

It’s fairly quiet too, which is good in my book.

Get a massage? No, not that sort … 😀

Melange

1991, Southern Comfort promotion at the Union bar. Haven’t touched it since. 😀

Hut by a lake in the forest. Beers in the sauna, run down the jetty and swim naked in the cooling water under the Milky Way. Catch fish for your barbecue supper.

What a holiday that was.

Helsinki was a bit meh. Finland however is bloody gorgeous.

Tour de Zummerzet a few years back. 55 miles, 7 pints, 2 meals & no crashes.

Edit: all cider, too. 😳

Bike, surely?

My old dear picked up a brooch for £1.50 at a car boot sale. Turned out to be white gold and diamonds… valued at £2k.

Did it affect steering boxfish?

Oh yes. Makes the front end very heavy. Didn’t try any wheelies, put it that way. I liked the idea of having little ‘un where I could see her, plus she got a much better view. I have shortish legs for my height and never had any issues with knee room. However, the lankier among us may not be so lucky.

Not having kids in the first place is the cheapest option

I used a Safe-T-Seat from 12-36 months. Linky[/url]

It has the obligatory Sean Bean role… Not wanting to give any spoilers away 😉

Even the largest size POC were too small for my manly thighs 😆

He’s always up for the craic.

Had a Soda, broke it.
Had a Brodie Holeshot, some ****er sawed it in half to steal it.
Have had a Van Nic Yukon for 7 years. Lovely bike to ride which I cannot envisage selling.

Maybe they’re on an Easter break shredding the appropriate gnarr?

Reminds me of Irn Bru!

If it secures the future of the youth club, then why not. Broad Plain Boys Club has a long history of helping kids better themselves.

We were in that London for 3 days last week. Did The Eye, London Aquarium and a day at The NH museum. All were excellent.

One word of advice, if you can book stuff in advance, do it. We saved hours of queueing/waiting time by doing this.

Yep, converted my Van Nicholas Yukon to flat bars plus bar ends to create The Super Commuter!

I flogged the Ultegra 6600 drivetrain and fitted Shimano R780 levers, SPDs and a 1×10 (44t x 11:36) transmission. To further the sacrilege, I put mudguards on it, plus a Deuter frame bag. I love it. Must post a photo so the flaming can commence!

These videos make my sphincter twitch 😯

That sort of thing would only happen south of the river. * Sniff *

😆

I buy the Daily Mail* for a balanced view** of my small world.
