    White saddles and grips…. a joy or a pain?(

    depending on which one you sit on it will either be a joy or a pain 😉

    my white girps were 'white' up until I went out & rode in the mud 😕

    Got two Crossride wheel sets & have had no problems although I ride mainly XC none of this DH malarky 🙂

    I got my rear wheel off the STW classifieds & I'm very happy with it.

    another vote for Shimano MW80 & yes get a size bigger. I got a pair for just under £100 but worth every penny when it's wet & cold but you have dry & warm feet 🙂

    no_eyed_dear was it as bad as this little 'scratch' courtesy of a high speed Dartmoor facial 😕

    This is me one week later, one tip is to keep the scabs moisturized to stop the deep scarring

    Good luck & don't forget to post a pic of your wound

    second the SSC brake pads & they are lots better than the OME ones that lasted 5 mins.

    I've got 2 bikes & I've now got 2 sets of wheels for each one. As said above you do need to buy additional rotors & cassettes etc but to be frank I run various tyre combinations so having the extra wheel set is spot on.

    I use one bike for commuting so slicks are on one set of tyres anyway.

    great fit & forget brakes and I've had minimal problems with them in the 3 years I've had them. Would I buy some more? Yes definitely 😀

    we got a Technika 22" HD ready flat screen with DVD player & built in Freeview from Tesco for £189 – well every little helps.

    Great picture & great value for money. We bought a wall bracket & mounted it on the wall out of the way 🙂

    Spesh All Condition Pro 26 x 1" I've been running these for two years on my commute & had no problems. pump 'em up to 115psi & they're good to go, they also have flak jacket puncture protection too.

    I had a similar problem with a fiesta not a focus & it turned out to be the pollen filter too. Water was getting in round the bottom of the filter & then making it's way into the foot well. Solution – remove pollen filter, apply sealer & re-fit filter – job done ! 🙂

    If that doesn't work I recommend a pair of these 😉

    I always thought that 'This is the second time today that I've got up off a nice warm seat with a piece of paper in my hand' was a great opening line for a bestman 🙂

    Good luck
