Okay. Well I am 5’11” with a 32″ waist and wear a medium. Legs are about right and I have fairly long legs. Certainly enough to cover boots.

Quality wise… Seem pretty good so far. Build quality looks great. But only used them once!

How tall are you?

Elephants And Donkeys Grow Big Ears

Field and Trek have Helly Dry layers for £15

A trek 4900 alpha!

Only nice if you don’t mind being hot and sweaty in bed all the time! ;)

Not many things.
Sci-Fi is one of the big ones.

Also Xbox! Still don’t have one, but I will win one day!

Essentially most of my nerdy tendencies.

How are the lifeproof cases with the touchscreen?

Heard some rumours that they float a little above the screen making the touchscreen a bit funny to use?

Nexus 7?

Yes

Stove top is the way to go. Its just like getting another pan out the cupboard rather than having to assemble a stupid plastic thing.

Another Topeak Hexus

Scarpa Crux!

Take off the under socks!

I tried wearing warm socks under my sealskins, but it just made it worse… The extra pair of socks can cut off the blood circulation.

Keep everything nice and loose on the feet :)

“Worst case senario; you can poke someone with it and f*** their s*** up”

Why would you want to pay to have your VO2 max tested? It’s basically torture!

I got paid to do it at uni for a project and that wasn’t worth it!

Chrome…

Your crashes may be because flash player runs inside chrome… i.e. you don’t need flash player installed on your PC as it is already with chrome… Since removing this, mine has worked faultlessly.

Also, download the beta version. I found the ‘actual’ version a tad unstable.

We got a very heavy hail fall in N Wales. A lovely frozen sheet this morning!

Easiest frame to change bearings on I have worked on is a Yeti 303 (the one with the two rails).

Every bearing has its own pinch bolt, so just a case of undoing the pinch bolt, removing bearing, putting a new one in an re tightening bolt.

Only problem is, there is about 3 times the number of bearings than on normal frames.

Well it is Portsmouth, did you expect much more?

I take it the AV software is audio visual

AV is Anti Virus

I keep almost clicking the buy button on a Blackspire Stinger chain device. But haven’t done so yet. Will be watching this space!

I occasionally fly with a land board. Still trying to get the nack!

Get onto the KiteCrowd forum, there are loads of ‘What first kite?’ questions on there.

I have an Ozone Flow 4m which is great.

But as others have said; brush up on the knowledge and skills first.

Here you go: Bit cheaper… http://bit.ly/JmxZId

I always use grease on mine, no problems with slipping and QR is never over tightened.

Basically anything waterproof will do the job.

I have a Sheaffer’s that I really like.

Lots of people flaming Pete’s Eats. I really like them. But then I do live very close so only tend to go in the evenings during the week when there is no one else there. Never had a problem.

Just need to make sure you ask if you can do your own milk in your cuppa.

Schwalbe snakeskins?

So this forum is done for then…

Cant even see it when you’re riding… Why would it bother you?

Didn’t even notice it on my SLX till you mentioned it.

They all look the same as the Swann Freestyle to me… http://bit.ly/KhP4DS

People who type ‘Would of’ when they mean ‘Would have’ or ‘Would’ve’

The alpkit ones are a bit small for lighting a whole tent.

These are very good… http://amzn.to/KVbTwT

My sister at a relatively young age managed to slam her fingers in a car door. Somehow the car door managed to close completely (was on a car without central locking so the lock was already pushed down.)

There was a fair bit of screaming involved.

Hope it all goes well!

Another good point to remember.

Draw phalli all over your car. The motorbike riding cops (the ones armed with guns) really like this 8O

Depends how much metal there is. It will vary post to post…

First time I ordered with them it did this, but apparently it just takes a while to show up.

Think mine appeared after a couple of hours.

Grangers and Nikwax are essentially the same stuff, Its basically just watered down PVA glue.

What BadlyWiredDog said about washing in normal detergent isnt a great idea. It wont harm your jacket, but it will leave residue making any future proofing difficult to adhere to the jacket.

Wash in pure soap flakes or NikWax Techwash then stick it in back in with some proofer. The TX-Direct stuff seems to work for me.

Sprays are only necessary with jackets that cant be washed, or have a liner.
