which ones?

i like mine had it for ages now

it looks good

a beast of a ride up there, wont be fun in a headwind/rain which there should be!!
enjoy anyway

£30 FOR A TEST RIDE???!!! I thought they were free? well they are round here anyway.

too much too soon IMO.
start small and build gradually and it’ll decrease your chances of injury

you may feel like you can run this far so many times a week but your muscles and ligaments/tendons all will need time to get used to the idea and heal themselves between you lurching around on rock hard concrete!!

i got a vango one ages ago for about 80 notes, its seen me through many a harsh storm both over here and abroad and its still going strong, billy bargain i say…

spesh captains seem to do the job on my xc bikes.

ah the snails encampment..full of joy, food, and rather nasty farts..

im like you jimmy, but nowadays unless im working in clinic i just let rip.

my thoughts are they are more expensive, and much like a hardtail.
cheapo steel for me….

this is useless without pics

i’m the same size as you and have the same bike in the same size. i can only descend with the seat down as like you i find the tt too short so end up over the bars a lot. it does feel too short but still is ace with the seat down..

innis & Gunn…its nectar
jules i had some I&G blue ;abel the other day with vanilla in it..twas nice, jim had some rum stuff i think…

ive got an old heckler ’07n and its been through various guises, currently with a rp3 and pikes but when it had the dhx5 coil it was ace for light dh and general razzing around..

damn it ton!!! i was just chuckling to myself thinking that’ll be me posting tons old heckler was bloomin ugly and you go an beat me to it….

its one of the only mags where i actually read the articles (asides from dirt)
well worth it i reckon

why not download the free issue 44 and decide for yourself?

i went a few years back for a weekend..never agin i thought it was rubbish boring all except for the final descent of the gorlech trail..

ah i’ll bet your gutted after all the hard work research etc.. it was looking good too.. 😥

i stress this isn’t about bustafajones. Just a general observation that myself and Monsieur Wilson have made since the new forum was set up.

Epo you don’t use them (classifieds) that much though, and your overall posting is that of a normal user i.e. spread over all 3 forums rather than just classifieds with the odd comment on chat or bike forum.

no it doesn’t ‘matter’.

Mr Krabbs..thats pretty much what i was getting at only i was warming him up to it… 😆

berlimey…how much did that cost to make?

citroen C1 here shouldnt cost me much
although my 2.5ltr V70 probably will

cheers i’ll do that

i’m with you mr stoner

pk yes i know what you are saying and i think that is fairly savvy if you can be arsed to do it, all im saying is it is a blurred line where people who are ‘trading’ have to pay to advertise whereas so called ‘private sellers’ who are doing the same thing dont.
i think there is a distinction between someone who has the odd bit they can free up cash and those who do it a lot for financial gain.

lol at the ‘WOF is minted’ tag
and no i wasn’t thinking about the bustafajones bloke

nick-c…pass!

i had one done by local PC firm in army green he done it for a tenner as he had a M.O.D job on. it was a pretty good job

I’m not sure TBH, I would think that it becomes trade when it is done for gain and not just to finance new bits or clearout etc.
or say where someone is buying a lot of stuff and putting it straight on EBAY.

hairy, berlimey £50!!!!!!!! 😯 im surprised they have any business! i’d feel a right **** charging someone that much for a simple task, the other guys sounded much more like it…why not pop around and watch how it is done so you can do it next time?
BTW my brakes cam ewith bleed kit spare olives etc didnt yours?

really, do them yourself as Nickc suggests, its a piece of cake and will take all of 10mins for each end..surely you can spare that?
learning to spanner and the achievement from doing a good job is all part of MTBing for me and it helps on trailside bodges!!

if you really can’t be bothered then surely your LBS could do it for you? shouldn’t cost more than £10 an end but TBH it’ll take more time to drive them there than to do it yourself…

is the jack plug/socket at the back waterproof?

ohyeah, bike specific and in a large

will chk the superlight cheers

check my thread on needing a new freehub (a few days ago) someone put some helpful links in there for me and mine is now sweet as a nut..the bearings were **** to extract though..

I have a few friends who would be interested in these, could you post some info about price etc.
my mail is in my profile..thanks

i’ve only used cheapo headsets and can only speak from my experience but i have never ever greased serviced any of my headsets and never ever had to replace any (i think the oldest one is about 5yrs old now), all run smooth as silk so maybe its worth trying a cheap one. i certainly wont rush out to blow a load of cash on a king. (they do look nice though)
FYI i ride all year through dartmoor muck wind rain and shine.

cheers all..!!
