User-Removed…. HOW many of those bikes are from halfords?
Didnt you learn the first time?

Use the cream to hold on the Jam!!! Nom nom nom….
Certainly didnt help with dog pound on the way home! oooops!

Right half 10 at CPG! Ill beee there
Need to check out the silly brakes and see if they actually work!
Ill get some cash for caaakeeeeeey!

YES YES YES….. I will signleeee speed if thats ok?

Good old Nitro Circus!
I like the motorbike north shore and the garden slides!
Did anyone see the failed superbike front flip?

Once your on the course can you not move up to the MEng if your doing well enough? Im sure thats how it was when i was at plymouth!
Gives you a little more flexibility on grades, though probably doesnt guarantee you a place on the MEng

Whyte 905?

Think I should be about… Geared or SS tho. Hmmmmm!

I Use the bikehut (or similar) wheel racks. Holds the bike well, stops them wobbling too much £10ish a time.

Cheers Mr D, plugging in now!
Good to see you last nite, we rode lightless until 9.20. The weather came in rather nasty and obviously it got a little dark!
Excellent pootle tho!

why not use a hollow threaded rod, 2 washers with a larger internal Diameter than the rods ext. dia. then nip it up with some bolts (M6)
Washers will spread the load onto the bearings but you wont have to worry about this threaded bar mallarky!
Will need to be a tough bar tho…. dont want that going ping

Its Nathans Idea…. and its riiight on my doorstep.
May not be allowed tho as I dont have mudguards!

Chose Crowcombe coz i thought John H might be joining, just waiting on him now.
If i can get the bike working proper in the morning then ill meet you ‘early’ dibbs! Could do 10 at Lyd hill to get some extra miles in.
Not tooo sure on killing myself tho as i may be doing this 114km audax on sunday!

Shall we say half 10 @ Crowcombe?
Would you like gears or SS?

What about a Garmin forerunner 305, with HRM and 2 bike mounts.
Less than £100 SH.

My brothers at Uni there, not trying to put you off, but he got attacked by 3 men and a golf club. Luckily he’s a big chap and plays rugby.
Still ended up in hospital with 3 9 iron sized cuts to his head!

Nope shes still bare…. thinking of how to make it all nice and tidy!
Yeah… one option is to pop Stroker Grams on the Whyte, and move the carbons to the SS.
Arrrgghh, the dilemas!!

Cheers Zaskar, Im a 15stone rider and its going on the SS so weight isnt my main priority.
Looks like it might be SLX

Ordered thru handtec.com with some extra mounts….

They come for that price with 6 bolt rotors….
SLX 2009 are £170ish, XT £209,2008 XTR £250.

I agree the P7 is a good bit of kit, I work in lighting after all, and have the brightest 10 Watt Led on the market for domestic use.
However the poster seems to be after a bike shop bought box set, the P7 is a mash of torch and battery pack.
Hardly what i’d like to recieve as a present!

I found them for £235 with HRM, that bargin enough?

Hehe…. I was reading that thinking…….? I WAS THERE!

My Forerunner appears to be dying, battery is failing slowly.
And i’ve found the 705 for a bargin price!

Rather than talk crap and take over this guys post, would it not make sense to answer his question??? Did any of you actually read it, or did you just fancy another bit of banter along a my lights better than yours route???

As a present, so not home brew. Budget up to about £150.

I have the larger hope sam, and its a damn good bit of kit. Mate has the vision 2 and that seems spot on too.
Another one im impressed by is LIM Stella… makes a wikid head torch on its own, gives up to 180lumens @ 3.5 hours i think!

I’ve lost a £35 alien tooo Damn you!

You’ve got 2 different levers there…
The linear lever a the bottom is proper old, Part of the original Sport system when they only did on brake!
Looks to be open tho, not closed.

The Top lever which pulls back on to the bar is a Pro 2, open system again.
Open had no adjustment (apart from lever position) and the Closed had a dial in order to adjust the contact point as well… however they didnt like heat!

Calipers look like Mini’s, too small to be original O2’s,C2’s.

Bit of a mash up of parts tho!
The top lever used to run the Enduro 4’s and M4’s before they went over to the Mini lever.

I didnt ride Tuesday, Friday, Saturday, Monday and I’m not going back again tomorrow! Purely coz its crap!
Cold on the downhills and Toooooo hot on the uphills i reckon.
Bit tooo much wildlife up there too!

If I were you, I’d go out on the road bike! I hear theres a race nearby this weekend.

Shame about the bollards!

Rebas are are on Merlin for £250 at the moment!

I can, and for a long time did just ride on water for hours. But with age (only 24 mind) It certainly helps to have something mixed with it.
Rode 21 miles SS off road today on a Double cheeseburger and a bannana power bar. Ate some cereal before that too.

Im thinking about an early one tomo, need to be back in town around lunch ish… if its like this i think i could be persueded!

Um… VERY Lost!
Knottie… Im afraid to say, but it was beauuuutiful! Got you some photos tho!
Quite shocked how much i climbed!!

Most of the Twrch top section was closed last month

Would that not push you out to a 223 rotor tho?

Lily Allens song is hilarious…

So did they not factor in that the mrs holding a stop watch could well have an influence? I mean…. how off putting would that be! haha

My long term review is below

Its crap! Bent it in 4 rides!

Ill bring it with me later Dibbs and hide it in your lycra!

I’ve just ordered a Genesis i0…. Should be here by thursday. Will be my first Single Speed adventure!

A2Z Adapter…

Could use one of many but how about this?

Im on a new Mule NV, cant beat it!
Actually forgot it was there the other day.
