Midddleburn RS7's Square Taper still going strong after 8 years.
Mavic F519 rims now outlasting there second set of hubs.

Whip his valve cores out, very annoying but does little damage.

If you want decent then you want kestrel, workshop quality and british made.

Kestrel

Nope the tension seeker name is aspirational, it seeks tension and fails lol

I had one, i replaced it with a bolt up type without spring.

Here you go, cant speak for them as ive not used them but if you shop about you can get them for under £15 Clicky

I miss my SS :(

97 Kona Fire Mountain with P2 forks, TI quill stem and Forge Singaltor. I really do wish i never sold it. I used to ride it equally 50:50 with my geared bike though the year but would go though periods of using one more than the other.

Sod the PC brigade, nice to have those reminders. Love the bowler with the antlers looks very cool.

Citalopram kind of evened me out and helped with sleep but i felt listless and board, most days seemed to feel like i was just going though the motions at the the time my GP also recommended exercise although i didnt feel the drive for it.

Far more GPs now have the option to prescribe exercise properly and there are schemes in different parts of the country where the nhs will pay for gym memberships etc. Clicky Of course in the short term you could just get out on your bike more.

Id second the G11 ive got a DSLR and despite its excellent picture quality im far less likely to take it out for a ride with me than i would have done my old G5, Ive found the the DSLR far to bulky to be convenient for me.

See a chiropodist and pay the fine, no escaping now as the police all talk to each other.

Indeed when it comes to money they are all on the ball

You could always hang on for the new hope race brake:

This is a pre production image of the NEW Race X2 brake. Final versions will have a carbon lever and top cap, aluminium bolts in the lever, aluminium pad pina dn pad back plate – as well as the usual Ti bolts elsewhere. All in weight is an impressive 275g (including mounts, bolts and rotor)

It was so bad for our neighbor when we lived in wiltshire he actually dug up his entire lawn, layed chicken wire about 6" down then recovered and turfed the lot. It was obsessively maintained you would be hard pushed to find flatter on a bowling green, complete and utter nutter lol.

zeebrugge ferry disaster we were due to travel out on ferry to germany 3 weeks later i was 5.

You need to check your level of cytech as i knew it a few years ago the lower levels were little more than multiple choice tick tests. There is also BTEC which you can do through a few places including the bike inn, this is the course i did and is quite intensive but didn't cover hydraulic disc brakes or suspension forks but does go into detail on wheel building and other essentials.

I cant really see the stiffie in it but it looks nice, is that a Rohloff at the back?

Very nice is that a merlin newsboy?

I think thats cool and bet it cost you less than buying a new one which makes sense considering how long it will be used for

Is it me or do those connections look exactly the same as the ones on dinnotte lights?

Indeed im afraid this thread is worthless without pics

I suppose what you need to learn from YETIboyJAY's example is to get prototypes made up here in the UK first before entering a full production run. I've never done it so i cant comment but it something ive always thought about and i suppose the hardest thing will be defining yourself from the other niche frame companies.

Just in time for the postal strike which starts tomorrow…

Its still an emerging technology right now but looks promising e-ink is easy to read and consumes very little power but the readers are still expensive with little choice. But the over the next few years we will see new players like plastic logic entering the market and innovations with e-ink tech like color displays.

A review of the X170 admittedly its road but it does give a good overview Clicky

Rock Lobster Team Tig SL (It even has SRAM hubs)
And a Raleigh Amazon commuter

Ive got 2 one for my professional alter ego and one for my normal self, its an excellent promotional tool. Brant comes out with some right old tosh though :lol:

Gotta have balls of steel for that, some serious skill on display especially when you consider how complicated it is to fly a helicopter.

One of the lorry companies was working on a radar system a while back that would allow lorries to form large 'trains' the front lorry would guide the ones behind and keep all the lorries in the 'train' a constant distance from each other.

Yet another one for peterborough, cack for mtb but nice network of cycle paths in parts.

Its purdy. I like the schematic effect on the frame.

I think these are mostly OE so you might have trouble finding them separately so you may have to up your spec to the xm317 which is far more readily available.

It is a front with extra spacers and differnt axel, they sell a kit to do that too Here

Well i will be having one of these when i scrape the cash together, a nice starter commuter that i dont think looks too bad.

Mine usually go up in november but generally as part of filming/photoshoots. I generally just leave them up after.

X-type is due to be discontinued in the UK this year due to Jag heading upmarket again (and probably because they dont have the ford parts bin to rummage through anymore)

Just got back from Berlin and stayed at the circus hotel number 1 on trip advisor (was 4th when we booked) and must say its the best hotel i or my family have ever stayed in, excellent service, fantastic food and wonderful rooms. Couldnt fault it.

If you can tell me the bed name i can take a look for you when i get in on monday.

he remains engaging, an excellent communicator

So was that hitler chappie and as i recall he wanted to be in charge of europe too….

Ex Halfords Employee here, as far as i know halfords has no official training which includes wheel building. I undertook a trial course in my time there which was excellent but after assessment was abandoned on cost grounds.

**** i wonder if they even know what they've got, hope your well insured mate. I will keep an eye out on ebay and in peterborough for you.

If your after honest and utilitarian how about a Honda Element?
