    Well… the Q5 is all of 228 lumens. I'd need 13 of them.

    You NEED 2964 lumens? where do you ride ,down a coal mine. Crikey it can't be that much fun it must be like riding in full sun :wink:

    I'm not sure if it's been changed but it used to be that regardless of being registered or not they still have to ask your next of kin if they can use your organs for transplant.

    I am registered and all my family understand that I wish to donate any/all of my organs in the event of them being useful to someone after my death , after all I won't need them anymore and if they can give another person the chance of a better life why not?

    Red Hot Chilli Peppers @ Leeds Uni '89
    Got grief off the missus as I had a spare ticket and didn't think of taking her (we were just mates then)

    The Meteors @ Leeds Astoria '86
    Absolutly mental , spent the entire gig in the 'phsycobilly' equivalent of a mosh pit , got my glasses knocked off in the 2nd song and a bouncer gave them back to me on the way out , he saw it happen and kept an eye out for me (great big pointy quiff unmissable)

    Motorhead @ Bradford St Georges Hall '80
    My first ever gig (10) went with my dad and uncle and all 3 of us were headbanging over the balcony :lol:

    Personally I'd contact the buyer and state that in no way will the tickets be despatched till I was in receipt of cleared funds and that if they can't pay via a faster method then the tickets will be offered to the next highest bidder, Did your work mate specify in the payment details that an e-cheque would be accepted?

    The problem with ebay nowadays is that the buyer is king so they might end up with a negative feedback and be unable to leave anything but a positive in return.

    It's a P7 but I liked the clockwork paintjob and it was for free!

    Maybe try to contact the people in the link I put up.

    The dentistry school in Leeds does emergency treatments and takes some patients on if they need loads of treatment (i.e. fill up a students required work)

    Round here a filling privately is about £95. wouldn't even like to think what an extraction would cost.
    Luckily I found an NHS one 8 months ago.

    maybe try here. http://www.abdn.ac.uk/medicine-dentistry/new-site.php

    Here's the one I built

    one of these

    Hi, just built one of these up for a mate.

    the holes are for an old Hayes rear caliper that is no longer in production but the A2Z mount will convert this to international standard ,HOWEVER it will require the disc upgrading to one 20mm-25mm larger .
    you'll also need quite a few shims as it leaves quite a large gap between mount and caliper , I custom made a pair of spacers from the large spacers from v brake pads (the one that alter pad angle)

    The only problem here is that only a caliper designed for a 140mm-145mm rotor (needing a 160mm-165mm once A2Z adaptor is fitted)will fit as anything bigger would foul the seatstay and not fit in the gap.

    You may 'feel' its more reassuring, but its completely pointless in a real life situation. You will end up with a damaged chin from the chin bit and a twisted neck from it rotating.

    Mmmm , not sure about that , I had a nasty off a few years ago at Sherwood pines on one of the dual descender courses wearing a Giro switchblade and landed face first all i got was a bit of mud scraped into my face by the chin gaurd.
    I'm pretty sure that wearing a standard helmet would've resulted in lost facial skin at the very least as the crash was enough to snap one of the shift levers on my xtr shifters.

    Had a similar problem to this , used the 8mm and the 10mm caps thread stripped as I undid the inner bolt.
    It might be a bit of a bodge but I slipped the HT2 tool over the crank arm and undid the BB cup to push the arm from the spindle.
    I've since installed the crank on another bike and everything still runs smooth.

    So sorry to hear this , we moved house 3 years ago and brought our 5 year old tabby with us ,all was fine then 1 night she didn't come home. After frantic searching the next day we found her at a vets she'd been hit by a car but looked like shed just gone to sleep.no pics of tammy online

    then we were given a kitten who was so underweight and riddled with fleas that we were sure he was a gonna , but he pulled round and got so under my skin then at 10 months he was hit by a car as well but it wasn't a pretty sight. rip teddy

    We've decided no more cats while we live here , we just can't risk losing another the same way it's heartbreaking.

    Don't rely on satnav to get you there , the village of Stainburn is a good 20 min drive away from the forest trails.

    Running 2.35 swampies on my p7 , they weigh a ton but they're good. I don't worry much about needing a thin tyre to cut through mud as 15st works just as well.

    I'd go for it , lower end components seem to cope with gear extremes better than the pricey stuff. I changed my old rigid Raleigh's 44t ring to a 48t without any problems.

    Ugly , yes , practical , yes.

    From my own experiences it's the norm'. since our son started school we also have the added pressure that if he's off school for more than 10% of term time they're likely to start asking why!

    A quick GOOGLE turned this up , there must be loads of decent stuff around Athens there's loads of mountains round it.

    Only place I've done any proper mtb in Greece was in Rhodes but that company folded a few years ago.

    When I was 13 my mother told me to get a paper round , that was my pocket money.

    However when my younger sister turned 13 she got the family allowance for her pocket money.

    Hmmmmmm , some favouritism going on somewhere methinks (actually I always suspected this)

    Couriers shouldn't deliver to people in the street period , there was a mobile phone scam going on in the area I deliver post in where the courier driver was involved , he ended up getting locked up for his part in the £45000 scam.

    I feel for you ,really , I've been there!

    2 years ago the wife came home after the works chrimbo do , heard the door lock go about 1am , she came in tripped about 5 times coming up the stairs , went to the loo and crept into the bedroom , got undressed at the side of the bed and slipped under the covers , 'great I thought she's drunk(and we all know what wives like to do when she's drunk :wink: ,ANYTHING).

    The very second her head touched the pillow she barfed over me and the rest of the top of the bed then rolled off the side clouting her head in the process and continued to honk all over the floor. I manhandled her to the bathroom and spent the next 2 hours cleaning what she'd thrown up , I was due to start work at 5am so went in early as I was in a bit of a mood.She also ended up with a proper comic book shiner where she butted the bedside cabinet :lol:

    Been a blood donor since turning 18 (1988) as I have 2 family members who wouldn't have lived without tranfusions , I tried giving platelets but after the 3rd and 4th donation I had horrific headaches for 4 days which is very out of character for me, after speaking to the staff(my sister who works for them) I decided going back to full blood donation was the best course of action.

    Best to see if you can donate first and give it a go ,see how it is for you.
