Courtesy of previous employment I have the despicable joy of being fully kitted out in POC.

Pisspot&goggles?DH Pyjamas? Bellend aesthetics? Yes.
*twt*

Yes.

Edit: Just read the rest of the thread, I might be in Fort Bill, I might tagalong. If that’s ok.

Slightly off topic but y’know what I realised while making a Singleator today?

That device removes the ballache of spacing.

slideyslidey.

Like a bit of ballache.

Let’s see what happens, i’ll do the witches xc & get a buzz that will promptly lead to a 5 day pass.

*please, sun, please, sun.*

Edit: Kinloch’s for another week.

Now at the #1 slot of things that are good about the world.

Bittersweet whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?

*wake up, sweetheart,wake up, listen to this, yeah 1am whatever,listen to this*

If you can ignore Avids marketing bs then there’s a handy “what fork for” graph.

Otherwise, I just bought some reba rlt’s which will be fitted on the weekend.

I’ll let you know.

SID’s are the premium model. I would presume weight and adjustability are increased but that would be reflected in the price.

Rebas are spectacularly reliable, serviceable and plush.

ho ho hooooooooo…

To the superstore!

Edit: 94p! NINETY FOUR P!*fills boots*
That’ll come in handy for fence-building festival arms.

+1 for Trekster & all the other positive contributors.

Shining example of what it’s all about.

Enjoy your time here, pray for sun.(ish)

Glad your up Northy. Being that i’ve been riding around The Range for years, but never “done a trail” I feel I may be getting myself in a tizz.

Witches XC i’ve done to death you see, I love it.

I’m on a week today, can I just enter the Red wherever I want and ride from there? I can see in my head where I want to be just, y’know, it’ll be busy a week after the BDS with peeps paying full whack for access.

But then the other half of me thinks fk it, I grew up here, my hill :-)!

Edit: My soul needs the motorway section too.

Late contribution,

Thankyou for that Santa Cruz vid.

“Duuuuude, where’s my biiike?”.

That’s some David Lynch nightmare motion going on there.

That’s it BoardinBob, if it’s full on’gloamin lumpy-hillside i’ll Mastercard it for the weekend.

Thing is, it’s my first time on the red & being wholly ignorant of etiquette would rather not be the solo arsehole grunting up the hill.

One day on STW, the thread will end:

“I got out and punched the *****”.

Until then, it’s clear.

Tiny penis, fat wife.

Pardon my personal preference, bloody Brewdog booo.

In other news, this happened:

Elixer Brewery: Everything.

Haters gonna hate but that spec speaks for itself on the Rockrider.

They need to have a bloody word with their marketing department and position it much better I think.

Full bearings 15 quid. *sound*

I’ve found they are uniquely effective in Summer when out riding every day after work.

Buy on offer, dilute with full-fat milk and whisk. Does the trick. Better than chocolate milk/Mars/yazoo but at regular RRP, bit much.

PSA: Where’s got ’em on offer?

By the name alone, done.

I’m looking forward to humbly presenting 5 years of split crotch jeans.

I don’t understand either, but the total cost of repair will be cheaper than the cost of a new pair.

I’m learning to make do and mend this year.

Quite literally.

Stripped and rebuilt the winter-affected caliper just recently thanks to the spectacular assembly manual.

But I was forever adjusting them due to wonkey rotors so nowt had the chance to seize.

There should be a BB7 graveyard for this thread ’cause I need a new cap for the adjustable pad side.

Spoons got it.

Stick bike in stand, rotate drivechain, engage calibrated eye, repeat.

*find hill, slip chain, get off, allen key out, fix*

There are easier ways, i’m sure.

shoulders, elbows, knees.

These are your best suspension, or so i’ve found.

As above, relax.

Those filthy white hands off Zzzap.

Just wait for Blue Peter. Blue indeed!

Curiously enough mike, two of your top 3 are in my top ten.

Different generations I presume.

Yours was better.

🙂

LOOK AT THE TIME.
Danny who?
🙂

e.v.e.r.y.one

Only when kicking stuff, or falling over looking for penalties, I think.

The videos on the GoPro marketing display are spectacular.

But then, they would be.

There’s funnier goons than that at races taking the whole endeavour seriously.

Yes it bloody would.

We could do it like Jaegerbombs though, the malt equivalent of a 3 bird roast.

Mortlach(18yo) in a long glass, then the Lagavuilin (16yo) in a shot then an Oban(14) in a test-tube.

Pretty fitting as that seems to be where most of the population comes from.
*ooooooooh*
Bad hijack, sorry.

emmm D=VT!

There’s an excellenttourist pub in Edinburgh clearly named after you Albanach.

Mortlach, Lagavuilin or Oban for you sir?

Is a meter and a metre the same thing?

Does one do my electricity and one my spanking stick?

Stupid school.

epicyclo, tried getting about the Fort Bill roads past the Saxo brigade on a Saturday night?
neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeow

I really needed a wee.

*puddle*

Thanks for that!
😆

New OP title: “Instigate Comedy Responses. GO!”

What time would John arrive at the train station though?

I shaved off the ruffage and started smoking rollies again.

It’s a tough balance this 16/32 clean cockpit debacle.

Merlin weren’t available for M/O queries today.

I was working in a shop selling bikes.

They sold me the bestestest 2013 forks for a ridiculous price.

We sell stuff full whack, all the time.

So what, yin-yang.

Worked my arse off in retail.

woop

Crackin’ if you want a Norco.

Edit: or a Rocky Mountain

Any driver that indicates at junctions get’s a wavy “thankyou” from me.

Unless they flick the wrong paddle.

In other news, Retnthal chainring, Groove Armada sprocket, KMC 1/8 chain.

I’m using an old Derailleur the now ’cause I break things.
