Right, that was a detour into “ooooooh, matron” Hell.

Seriously tho, yeah…

What forks for and who else loves their Ibis Tranny?

duh.

In that case, i’d like the really big one people can live in.

For the first time in my working life I am off with all the normal non-customer facing retail staff.

For maybe, at least, 5 actual real days.

I’m still in shock.

No Boxing Day sales, no Christmas Eve ****, no Hogmanay bawbags.

*shatfaced ad infinitum*

This> every day >

Just me & the Mrs really, so, just buy nice food and enjoy each others company in front of The Muppets and likes.

I don’t even know what a Tranny van is FunkyDunc, sounds even more innuendo-lite than any Bangkok chat!

How many Tranny’s will fit in a Tranny van? With the Tranny on, listening to Trannys do DirtJump Trannys on Trannys.

Barf.

Oh bloody hell, i’m not normally a weight weenie but neeeeeeeeeeeoww…..

Don’t know why I make car noises for bikes, anyway.

It’s not gonna be til at least January before I buy anything, I might even be dangerous and work backwards….

Componentry before frame shocker!

Any excuse to resurrect every single “what for what for” thread ever known, only to ignore everyones opinion and buy something niche and random. Or Deore :-).

Safe, innit.

Hadge, you seem like the kind of goodfellow who would appreciate a beer!

Trying to flog me your mates Trannies while ear-bashing shatty drivers & chivalrously saving ladies!

Good dual posting sir!

Detachable rear end for SS Tension, although I need to do super research to see if doing things that way would weaken the frame as i’ll have a perfectly good Singelator going spare anyway.

Also, for taking on buses. Discreet & quick & cheap.

Where do you live Hadge there’s a couple tidy ones in Edinburgh I know of.

Elzorillo, that’s twice you’ve pooped on my OP.

Original, helpful, witty? natch.

What forks for!

Should’ve turned on the grump filter before I OP’d. Surprised to find a nark i’ve never met before.

I’ve been accosted many times by members of the public for things they disagree with, but are not against the law.

Chatting on le telephone, while driving, is.

*Roundabouts*!!!

Get the video up someone

*MUSHROOM*

I hope that was intended as

“Like things that go like shit-off-a-hot-stick”

not

“The tranny is a shit stick”.
:-(…:-)

I can’t even enter a debate on forks. I’ve only ever used the Recons and Float 120’s.

I’m an aggressive bastard that needs stiff forks with fast rebound that don’t need servicing every 100k.

I like gold.

And moons on sticks.

Goody, Kona.

Suss.

Definitely.

VERY temporarily would rigidify the Inbred and put 100mm Recon RL’s on-by way of complete disservice- the Tranny.

Then scout for 2012 fork bargains.

Also, it will definitely be coming on holiday with me. Wherever I go and however I can afford it.

Somafunk ,there’s a bit up there where I said a demo Tranny ripped a hole in my nob.

That wasn’t a turn of phrase!
Matron wasn’t gentle….

But it would be a proper bike to let my SS steel Inbred be my commuter & hack.

Speaking of the Inbred, I think I have a titanium spine but my pelvis probably looks like a smashed peanut.

Can’t wait. The “what forks” thread will be a giggle.

*edit* this is N+1, btw.

I think I inadvertently called my own ridiculous opinion nonsense there :-).

Goes away,thinks,comes back.

Infuriated cause, you’re right, F all we can do.

“Lopes won 4x on one”

That and

“19lb SS”

Kinda does it but im very very very poor.

Has this been done befor…..

*sideswiped by abuse*

It’s ok, I sent a green demo one into a wall last year, Tranny ripped a hole in my nob.

Find someone with a Screwfix trade account.

Something else Hoops fans can bang on about for.ever. if it stays that way.

European Champions, dinosaur era.
blah.

I’ve always been a pisspot fan.

TSG Superlight for normal stuff and POC Receptor+ for crazy stuff.

I don’t expect anything to happen. I wouldn’t be so presumptuous. I wasn’t planning on sending the nob to court either.

In my opinion it’s in the same category as dobbing in the person leaving the pub, pissed, car keys in hand.

Nonsense indeed.

Get the trials bike out and doughnut his actual lawn, mark it out for him.

The same kind of person I watched get arrested for trying to rip a bike off public lockups because the “wheel was in his garden”.

*rant*.

This:

One SS Inbred (vertical dropout) with 100mm lockout Recons and many different tyres.

Does whatever I make it do. If it doesn’t agree, I fall off.

The bits in quotation marks were my thoughts.

The only words said aloud just end up like this on here> ******* mother******* **** cockfostering ****hole.

I’d have enjoyed it if the retard behind the wheel did just go “HOOOOOOOOONK” instead of using his Fiesta horn.*paraaaap*

Admittedly Euro, i have absolutely no first hand experience of sending it.

Good though.

I thought “flow” was this

Turns out it is…
Then Some.

Have this…… enjoy Wednesday.

*shitspants*

They might not play it, but to be honest, you won’t see a better band that close live. Im surprised they still show up at the SECC when they could twice fill Hampden.

kcr, that’s a good point about winter conditions.

I’d rather have to strip & fit BB7’s than a set of Hydraulics but I am a fettler.

I use them on “hardcore hardtails” as well as commuters and am still to be left wanting for stoppage.

It’s a thin crowd, but cable actuated works.

I’m taking my dad.

Suppose that says it all about growing up & that. He dropped me off to my first ever gig- age 13, Muse, Secc- over a decade ago.

Still holds as the bounciest moshpit i’ve ever stood in for Bliss.

Knights Of Cydonia…. that is all..

*excited*

*edit*
I might melt for Sunburn.

Was it at the first turn?

I don’t follow football, but MOTD’s quite a disgusting spectacle of awful shittybollockness it’s worth a shout.

I remember rally used to be on, what happened to that?

Thanks Count.

*has one anyway.*

Feels bad.

This is one of those “more and more and more and more and more and more angry” things.

Erm…

Good luck.

I have no fear limiter, but I have a cost limiter!

Biggest obstacle for me trying stuff is the risk assesment of “will it break the bike if i muck up”?

Can’t buy a new wheel and I do enough hub & spoke damage on lateral landings as it is.

How you get a Session up there…dunno, ask Gwin? :-)

There is something proper “beery” about Leffe that drives some people, like you and I, quite mad.

It’s “Match Of The Day” ale.

Screaming at the tele then knockout, waking up with a cork in your eye.

See you two, Druidh & Charlie, it will be very nice if in 20 years I have the same attitude to riding & bikes as you both seem to maintain.

I’d like a rigid 29er for certain reasons.
I’d like a freeride 26″ for certain reasons.
I’d like a nippy 4x bike with 24″ wheels.
I’d like a hardcore BMX with 20″ wheels.

I have my SS 26″ Inbred with Deore for everything because I’m perpetually skint.

Bikes & bikes & bikes. Happy is with wheels.

Holysht somafunk, glad I’m on the right “incentivised” bandwagon.

Bein 25 and that, all I see is bikes and melted a “promised future” in fashion retail to play with bikes and bits and people who like bikes and bits.

I wish the people with power in industry & business rewarded promise and passion rather than…well, whatever it is that’s valued at the business end of my livlihood but being poor and happy is a bitter joy.

In similar news, i used to see the Cradle Of Filth “Jesus Is A Count”(minis o) T-Shirt everywhere.

If recent events are ‘owt to go by, that would be jail time.

Good point fingerbike, I hope not though.

I’ve never tried a whip, because:
a) Lateral landings will snap bits.
b) There’s no safe way to land unless you’re good on a bike.
c)Failed whips-let alone upside backwards whatever ones- never end well.

I watched Danny Hart at Champery.
I woke up in A & E.

Also, as an important aside, they don’t “break”.

If you’re stuck out in the middle of a moor, say a big empty Scottish peaty one, you can do spectacular botch-jobs that jut can’t be done on Hydros.

“That’ll get me home”.
