Gateshead millennium bridge

Angel of the North

Both iconic to the North of England

Revived thread as the text input is p’ing me off here. I haven’t noticed it elsewhere

Nlv ? Took baby to docs and he said norovirus most likely

It’s all about jobs and the economy though, isn’t it?

Who wants to be leading up the government that says ‘lets cancel the Trident replacement, plenty of jobs going at the new Tesco home delivery warehouse’.

Well said

Gore Windstopper is what you want with a wicking baselayer.

I have a Santini 365 but it was rather expensive.

Its not the lock i wouldn’t have thought (as in where the key goes in) they are just a barrel that go through the mechanism. Your mechanism will be buggered as mine is.

Remove handles – that will expose a bar between handles – remove that thats where the square hole is in the image below.

Remove all screws in the edge of the door top to bottom – one of the screws (the big hole in the edge on the image below) holds the lock mechanism in place- remove this and pull your barrel out of the keyhole shaped area – this is what your keys turn. This is just a universal part.

You will need to measure the depth of the mechanism area and total length of the strip – also look for any manufacturer markings to help you identify. Then get on ebay and have a look there are loads of them

If you can operate a screwdriver you will have no problem.

ive got a VAN Rc on mine and use it for all sorts inc DH at inners.

Its class but it does steal some of the “zip” or “speed” away on flatter xc singletrack.

On XC routes i feel ive killed some of the spirit of the bike with the coil and coil lyrik. Other times it feels amazing on bigger terrain.

Mine did that – a hard push on handle fixed it sort off. It actaullay broke the lock mechanism.

Still works but hanlde hangs down a tad.

You can replace the whole locking strip – check ebay only 40 quid ish.

A lad i rode with had one – it was great but not sure for

ccasional skatepark,staircase,urban…thing.

He did quite hardcore stuff on his 6′ drops etc.

Do you get much grief from walkers?

these little bits are what i used – pull old ones out horizontally when brake is pressed – slide these in.

I have 5700 and they came with 2 different size rubber shims/wedges so they must be available.

Decent LBS

I had 2 punctures on Friday night – however i only carry 1 tube – hence walked the last mile in the dark, cold and bloody pissed off.

Just dont book Holiday Inn at Cramlington/seaton burn its miles out but still called Newcastle – Marriott Gosforth too.

A few independents in Jesmond on Osboune Rd not far from town and an apparently trendy – as im in no way trendy and can never keep up with what is.

Holiday Inn express and Jurys inn off St James Boulevard would be good choices but its in the Gay village (nothing wrong with that of course but prob not your best night out for your situation) just a short walk to the main centre area though.

2 premier inns on Quayside – 1 is quite far east so the best one would be the one under the Tyne Bridge.

Gray St hotel would be good. Thistle opposite Central Station linked above would be a good location for everything near trendy bars but never stayed there – has had loads of work done recently based on scaffolding outside.

PS dont go to Idols or city vault before the game unless your mrs likes pole dancers.

I’m bloody sick or punctures I’ll tell you that much. Ordered a gatorskin as ive had enough.

Some how two tubes have multiple punctures in a small area even though tyre has nothing inside it, all my remaining patches don’t fit and no spare tubes for tomorrows commute.

Hedge cutting is enough to put you off commuting and back into a car.

I’ve been doing this Really good, cycling specific, and spiritual claptrap free

None in stock though 🙁

We’ve tried everything in the past DAP, Drugged to his eyeballs, t-shirts, cages and the best thing seems to be us just leaving him in alone (plus his little cat friend louie).

Been out earlier and we expected carnage when we got back but its better than ever – still not perfect though.

Hang in there Brad lad…

Seen here in happier times:

Binners – good day to you…. are you going as well?

If so get cracking, your boring me.

[you’re, note the spelling, boring us. Have a couple of days off – Mod]

oh well run along then, enjoy your break, dont hurry back.

Can we have some more Jessica Ennis threads now that these two have gone?

~a classic example of the sort of post that people dislike.

Objective achieved

Jessica Ennis one – if so that was me. Sorry if it upset.

did you tell her that you thought her cousin was fit as ****?

Yes. But not until Friday.

oops

How long have we got before this ends in a closure?

spooky_b329 – waves hello to fellow BT person.

HP Openview stuff. NNMi/DDMi/Service Centre

If you buy Alu you will always think you should have bought carbon. If you buy cheap carbon you will always look at great carbon.

I’d go carbon but probably not chinese ebay stuff.

firstly Leeds isnt North East – its the midlands.

Dont they say war is profitable? I think thats your answer.

Five with 160mm forks? Think it is anyway.

EDIT – Yes a recentish five with 160’s is 66deg.

The spiritual journey stuff was a bit weird. She actually said to me “as our bodies get to know each other on this journey we will connect” I was aroused.

We had about 15 blokes and 2 women. The instructor was a bit weird though. What’s all this personal journey stuff about? Fancy doing a bit at home just not sure where to start though.

Post Holy Bible they are shocking, in fact I’d call them embarrassing

Just checked one of my latest night rides for you to compare on my garmin page. This was a solo ride.

Distance: 37.67 mi
Avg Moving Speed: 18.2 mph
Elevation Gain: 2,542 ft
Elevation Loss: 2,541 ft
Max Speed: 39.8 mph

I would say im in top 10% of my club riders. Not really into anything over 60miles though as it takes too long and I’ve a young family to occupy.

Must admit to be carrying a bit (4 days) extra growth otherwise it wouldnt be much of a show.

The guy with the flaking skin – jesus I’m gona throw something at this tv soon.

32 maybe 34

My Mrs wants a Kitchen Aid but since she got a baby last year she will be waiting a while.

She’s got a hoover coming for xmas

Simon you big girl just go 1×10 or 1×9 – I am for Thrunton you will be fine.

Normal deep pan, swirl water with vinegar in. Crack and leave for 3-4 mins.
