Thanks will do.

Just exploring options at the moment, plus I like my P7.

Any idea or experience about the longevity of these bits?

The BB is interesting, but I’m likely to be fitting Middleburn square taper cranks.

Ah ha.

Nice bit of kit and certainly worth considering. Thanks for the tip.

Stone, what’s an ENO hub? I googled it, but it wasn’t that clear. Is it an eccentric hub type thingy?

Pads make you look cool don’t they?

Around Epping Forest, possibly not, but you can go to the bar for the post ride drinks.

Only for the new type of frames. Mine is from 2005, so has the standard dropouts for geared bikes.

I was going to email them to ask how to go about it, but they don’t seem to have an email address.

Oh, should mention that you need loads of RAM for 10.5. It will work with less than 1Gb, but it runs very very sloooooooow.

I’ve managed an office full of Macs for 10 years with no real problems.

The drive in my old G4 Powerbook died last year, but I’ve used the machine everyday for 6 or 7 years and it’s been dropped a fair few times, so that probably explains it.

If you’re thinking of getting an IMac then it will most likely come with 10.5. Simply upgrade the Macbook to 10.5 and use the CD/DVD sharing facility to burn / read CD’s and DVD’s on the IMac. It’s meant to be easy although I’ve not tried it.

The French side is upstairs and to the right (with your back towards the front of the airport).

We usually hire from the French side as it is loads cheaper and you get less hassle from French drivers for driving s Swiss car. However, if you do go into Switzerland on the motorway, then you will get charged something like Ä60 tax.

If you ask when you hire the car, then they give you this hand drawn map that shows you how to avoid the motorway by going through the centre of Geneva. It’s not easy, but also not that difficult.

We did the journey loads last year when skiing, shuttling mates to and from the airport.

Leaving the airport from the French side you get sent down this fenced in road for a couple of Km’s and then pop out next to the border. It is also possible to stay within France and skirt around Switzerland, but you’ll probably need a GPS, we did.

Excellent event last year. Very chilled out. Blue skies and dusty trails, & we were camped next to Mr Bonty himself. Nice bloke.

I did the 12 hour solo. 11 laps if I remember correctly. Knocked off at around 11:30pm for beer.

Great course that took around 40 to 50 minutes for a lap with a stream crossing, and weirdly, more downhill than uphill.

Much more fun than SITS or Mayhem.
