Is this an online ‘movie’ or DVD purchase, from where? Id like to watch this too.

“along the money” err… that should be “along the way”

The autocorrect feature on my web browser has just reached a new low in machine assisted spelling correction.

The chap who invented auto-correct died last week, his funfair is next monkey

WelshFarmer that wall paper behind your bed looks like scary ghost heads to me

Yup, gets a royal **** that from me

Cant praise this enough, beautiful, well made, fine riding frame

Commencal
75 SA
63 HA

DMR
72 HA
66 SA

I appreciate their is a load of other considerations but this gives a fair indication of intent for the frame. I think both are 650b now.

Black Earl Grey and nothing else.

Weight means nothing, if the angle of the dangle is fine, so will you

LOL!

I call it enabling change. Without Boost, my current bike of choice simply couldn’t exist.

Did you really need it? Would it not have worked with ‘standard’ *snigger* hub sizes? Has it made you faster/better/stronger?

Here is a perfect case in point, how can this be anything other than marketing and greed, sorry shareholder value? (And Trek/SRAM are involved too which is always a given when innovation through BS happens)

http://www.pinkbike.com/news/sram-announces-new-hub-standards-boost-148-and-110-2015.html

As marketing starts to run out of ideas for swatting the competition, they take on creativity rather than changing colour to devise new ways of selling the same stuff to the same people again. Usually this is change the shape/size/fabric etc. creating a standard for their idea is all a part of the ‘sales energy’. Else we would all be riding a rigid steel bike.

Well, GT85 and WD40 are not lubricants as such but I thought they left a residue. Id still rather no have it on my discs but you never know. That stuff timba links looks like its worth a can

spinach with poached eggs for breakfast and drink lots of cherry juice leading up to the event too. You’ll be a flyer 🙂

Lovely bike, is that a 150mm reverB?

Hertsnewb, if you are near Aston Hill, you must be near to Tring, ring Mountain Mania or pop in, they will be able to help and also rent out bikes too. This might help with sizing. In the Tring shop they stock Scott (Aspect?), Trek (X-Calibre?) and Whyte (801?), they are good lads and speak straight IMHO. At this time of year they will be looking to shift stock for next years bikes so a deal may be available to you.

Ive read articles from many sources that the Brexit vote was essentially folk lashing out at the political elite, caused by all of the lies, corruption etc. over the recent years. This could easily apply to the US election too. The first few paras of this article pre-Brexit sums it up quite well

However: be prepared for all the gnarly footage that you shoot on hols to look rather lame, slow and flat when you return to base.

😀

Large Big Mac meal needed

Its tough to compare UK with mainland EU, there is so much more space there. I cant see your average chav hooligan splashing out on an ebike when he can use a moped that cost jack shit. I reckon they will fall into line

I reckon if you group hop and are fit enough, with mental fortitude you’ll make that, good luck mate and enjoy the ride

What time was this and why were you riding then? get a life!

8 week old twins + a 3 & 5yr old means I cant get out till after bed time, so I miss the local group ride

didnt start till 9 at woburn

it was when I got to the little corrugated iron shack on the church side that i got a bit freaked, it all got a bit serial killery (have been watching American Horror story lately

Fair enough! I know a small old woodworkers hut that scares the crap out of me

What time was this and why were you riding then? get a life!

I’m not sure the recommendation of dairy products for a dodgy stomach is the best….

Perhaps not but it will be fun hearing what happened next

Are you pregnant and been near a mosquito infested dead thing in the last 6 months? If not, its good news, might just be a bug.

Gastrointer thingamy includes vomiting so if you are not vomiting it might not be gastro thingamy, it might wash through quickly. Do exactly as every poster has said without exception (except the saddle, …a saddle named ‘Butcher’? Really?) and you will live to be 115.

Dont forget your stomach will be tiny as you are emptying it so much. So you wont be able to eat much but, when you race it will be so tight that you will be permanently bent over the bars and ever so light which means you will win, absolute given

That jungle stuff is very good…

On the less helpful side, did you know the bag is designed for men?

On the more helpful side, contact them telling them you want final resolution within 72 hours/7 days as you prefer or, you will initiate a chargeback with your bank card issuer.

I always think the Ragley Marley is a great bike/VFM, 14″ – 20″ sizes

Schmoke & a pancake

How about cutting up a pair of ‘Festival wellies”? Then you could have anything from a Union Jack to Daffy Duck…?

Cannondale and upgrade the wheels. Giant has a toury geo, unless you want that?

I’ve had this problem with all of my shimano pads. My solution is this, and normally only have to do it once or twice for the life of the pad:

1) Remove pads and spray with liberal amounts of brake cleaner and wipe clean with lint free fresh cloth
2) Place pads in oven on max heat for about 20 minutes
3) Remove pads and using a pair of tongs hold them over a burning flame for 30 seconds each
4) Allow to cool and then sand gently to remove any glaze
5) Clean rotors with brake cleaner and clean lint free cloth
6) Reinstall pads and do several fast, hard brakes to a complete stop (don’t drag them)

This works for me on Shimano sintered pads.

Where on earth did you learn to do that? Ive had a guess at how to solve things in the past but really…. 😕 😯 😛

****, all of them

SKY has always aimed to neutralise the race, everyone knows this. If you are riding at close to peak, no-one can attack. Jens summed it up, “shame on the other teams that know this and do nothing to prepare” Maybe they cant after all, at any level their is a performance ceiling.

The 2-5th placings were fun to watch but I wish there had been more of the penultimate stage racing, that was a classic for me.

I enjoyed the commentary, David Millar knows his stuff and is ‘of the moment’ and so makes insightful and intelligent comments about teams options and tactics at any given time.

I was worried that might be the case, anyone know the correct fork length for an 05 Stinky?

Do you have the technical skill of a top flight XC racer?

No

I dont think this should stand in your way, buy one register for an event and show them a bit of plucky Brit and get stuck in, its opportunities like this that shape your sofa.

Id be happy to provide sponsorship in the form of one free charge.

Thats a nice looking bike goldigger

cheers, is the Black Market Malice still available/worth a look do you know?

pfft, bottle mounts, pff

Well done for hanging on this long before calling for help

About £150, thanks for the heads up on the superstar link

Ideally, insist on an ambulance and then claim for a new bike too
