Hi thanks for the reply Paul no not Mr T but I will take a look at the charge I am in the Midlands not far from rocket dog I believe so far in the flesh I have looked at the kona wo the caribou and the specialized will try to find a charge to look at locally thanks again

Rode my mates specialized fat boy today loved it ,bit out of my budget at the moment so I have been looking at the on one fatty or the genesis caribou not sure which to go for at the moment will a 170mm back end v 190mm be a problem?

He might be able to get cash in lieu and have it repaired himself ,i work in a body shop and have seen this a few times if the cars in good nick but the insurers dont want the hassel of repairing it and hire car charges

Great stuff I couldn’t believe my luck when I stumbled on them propper bargain ,shoe shopping with my daughter doesn’t normally leave me smiling so that made a change

Hi mate think my riding buddy has a mint one in his shed I think he wants £100 for it not sure if that’s too much its in good condition think my email is in my profile I am a bit thick with my internet skills ….Chris

Just spoke to big yim he says he can’t find his crayons he will ask his mom to buy him some :oops:

Thought it looked familiar my riding buddy is looking at the specialized fatty think I will take a punt on a on one fatty they look great fun for our trails

I think the leave em to it idea is a good one but personally I think that IS would not be happy until they spread there ideals to many other countries as they hold Western way of life with such disdain,maybe this problem if left to it self could be even closer to home than it is now .Very sad and difficult times are ahead

@singlespeedstu is that kinver by any chance?I do 90% of my rides in and around there and I am considering a fat bike due to the beach like conditions in some areas

Removing IS will just spawn another terrorist bandwagon for these very wrong people I say loosely to jump on ,I can’t see how the world can put an end to the division in culture and the way we want to live versus there ideal I can from my point of view see this getting worse for everyone I hope I am wrong RIP Alan a good man

As above check the universal joints at the bottom of the steering column done quite a few over the years symptoms are heavy steering and a reluctance to self centre when going back to the straight ahead position after turning

Hi me and a couple of mates are going saturday but i dont think we will be there till about 12.30 if you see us your welcome to join us ,its a first time there for us too

Hi I have a 661 recon repeater s/m I am about the same size as you I hate helmets that look massive and I can confirm that the 661 fits good for me and feels light too and its not too hot on long rides really pleased with mine

I had no email confirmation as such just PayPal ordered on the Sunday arrived on the tuesday

hey gogg next time your in there tell them there price and service are second to none ,going to keep on eye on there prices when I need stuff could well be my not so local lbs :-)

Hey gogg you should get commission from that shop as I purchased a set last week delivered in 2 days with all the parts to shorten hoses dead easy aswell ,really nice brakes look and feel much more expensive than they are

Proof is everything when making a claim the management companies and insurers are truly soulless its just money to them its very frustrating trying to help genuine people to get the service they pay for

I am an estimator in a body shop and deal with these companies a lot ,I would recommend you go with your insurers management scheme as they will get your claim sorted quicker most of these management companies make there money from long drawn out credit hire on courtesy cars and inflated labour rates hope this helps

I am looking at buying one of these too but would like more pictures to make my mind up please brant

Hi mate i have a xc 130 which might be a option i use it for the same stuff you have listed and find it great probley use it more than my full suss

Those trails look fun do most of my riding round kinver and would love to find some new stuff,clent ect is close to where i live but i dont know it well enough to put a fun loop together

Be carefull if theres any left because they lost again tonight oops

Hi not sure if your aware but if your near to stourbridge there is a tvr specialist there called central tvr probley could give you some good advice

Ace my mrs thinks i have lost it chuckling at me phone

Are binners and hora mates in the real world because they make me chuckle when hora does a new frame thread

Thanks again everyone i have taken onboard all your comments gonna do a bit more looking around i think i used to love my bmx bikes but as above i in my 40 s now and do feel the pains maybe this frame could be a bit much

Thanks again for the replies gonna have to do some thinking on the size as i am a probley more a peddler than a jumper my current hardtail is an 18.5. inch and feels too big but my cannodale full sus is 18 inch and feels ok the ht is 22.5 inch top tube the suser is 22 not much in it but the ht feels big for some reason

Cheers for the feedback i am 5ft 9 and looking at medium 17 inch frames .were early frames ebb only i have seen one on ebay that looks ok

Wrecker v8 your spot on we can argue all the reasons behind it but it is so wrong in every way how that lad died

I was in the shop when one of the guys helping the op came in it sounded bad but the one planet staff seemed pretty quick to deal with it i had an otb there last year that place can bite for all the talk of it being easy get well soon mate

Yim i have got a 2.35 hr super tacky u can have think its only single ply tho

Your a lot better rider than them willy wavers yim you will be fine

I work for an idiot who never pays anyone who leaves what he owes them a whole months wages for the one lad who even worked extra notice suffice to say come my time it will be wages in bank and out the door i am in the motortrade aswell and seems that this is all to common

Went to the wyre this morning only been a few times so not got a clue where to go but with the help of some of the friendly locals managed a good ride on some pretty tricky for me trails allround fab ride

Take a look at the quantum xtreme a lot wider cockpit for bigger feet ect good size boot built these and westfields at the factories if you go for a westfield the wide body sei is the best in my oplnlon both cars are a pain when its wet

Did a couple of hours round kinver area it was ok no snow as such bit muddy but better than i expected

Hi sorry was thinking of going with the cheap rons on the on one site are they terrible they will used for xc stuff and a couple of 50k marathons cheers.. chris

Hi i worked for both quantum and wesfield for a 12 year period building the factory built cars and would say that using a westfield regulary would be hardwork as already said the quantums i built were as useable as any production cars you could even fit towbars for bike racks if i were t buy a second hand kit car my choice would be a gtm libra all the fun with a bit of comfort also if u like seven style cars look at the quantum xtreme

thanks for the quick replies think i am gonna give them a go i like the idea of a bigger tyre i have stuck with high rollers and advantages for a long time so it will be good to see what else is out there thanks again …chris

Hello mate had same problem with some solo air recons i found the wavey washer had split managed to buy a few new ones off ebay think they were m10 if t helps .
