So you guys who are SS on road, do you find you spin out a lot or is it ok if you have a hard enough gear?

If your journey is pretty much flat, you just keep at a constant, comfortable speed and cruise. If you're going up and down loads of hills you wouldn't be riding SS now would you 🙄

Need 8. Get 5.

My ex.

haha that is also what i read

^HA!

How does that Mix Taper Headtube work? How are conventional headsets going to be installed?

Float 130mm it feels perfect

Nice bike, but love the house. Do you ever practice hoping that 5-step staircase? 😆

Thinking of going tomorrow, but more worried about the harry potter filming restricting access to trails than the boggy parts. Just wondering whats still open now (and rideable)?

Pretty annoyed i missed this! How did peoples bikes hold out? Any funny carbon failures?

Your cat is probably just trying to get some loving and attention

Might want to put spoiler on the title before you get heckled

But yes. Cancellara is a beast.

More truck than van, still….wouldn't mind one 😆

Crunchy Nut Clusters 😳

Already out there

What has the world come to eh?

Essaouira on the west coast is gorgeous

but what stuff can I buy to make up for my lack of cool.

A niche singlespeeder should do it.

Love it!

So does that mean its facked already? well thats a tenner gone down the drain…thanks on-one

Thanks, but not really viable (click my name ) Is there a good area we should start poking around in?

Haha that made me chuckle a little. looks awesome fun!

UKCAT *shudders*

Is their a TK Maxx for sunglasses?

The answer is in your question.

So the standards are high at Bristol, doesn't mean you have to apply there. Plenty of other universities to apply to. But more importantly I assume you've spend a bit of time away from the maths and physics? It'll be easy to pick up again if you've got the basic ideas so maybe try looking at some A-Level math pure/mechanics papers to see if you're still up to the standard and move on from there i guess. Comparing papers today to those from 10-20 years ago i can say from personal experience that things were much harder back then.

There is alot more competition for spaces today, especially with the proposed cuts.

If you're planning to go into engineering as a mature student, they will consider any outstanding engineering experiences in the past – even stuff like being a really good mechanic i guess but obviously placements and foundation courses are what they're looking for

Glorious. Dempsey is a god

Thetford. ugh.

Why the negativity? I thought mountain bikers were supposed to be the cheerful lot 😉

Nice build! Always good to see a steamroller thats not in maroon!

Black & Blue Netsky Remix

I ride faster when this comes on.

Out on Leith Hill today, been a while since i've been out on the mountain bike, I swear mud wasn't this hard to peddle through…

If you're not 100% comfortable with riding fixed gear don't do it, I've been riding fixed for a while but still get 'fail moments' now and then. Fixed is silly really..

Blinking flip psychle, that is so very, very nice clean.

To those who believe in the "supernatural"

Bump. come on guys, anyone?

That modernised version is lovely! such an odd frame i think its brilliant 😉

I have just replaced the chain on my bike but not the cassette, however on the first ride the chain started skipping over small bumps so i decided to change the cassette too. If you look closely at each sprocket, you can see the teeth getting worn (blunt) or little dents where the chain has been slipping. Good idea to change the chain every now and then especially if it has been constantly exposed to the recent wet weather because when it does snap you'll get a nasty bollocks-to-top tube encounter 🙄

I once kept a bag full of coppers totalling about £25. On the day i decided to cash it in, my friend proceeded to smash the bag onto the corner of my desk to 'see if it would make a good weapon' leaving me with circa 2000 coins scattered in my room.

Had a few friends complete it today as well, however the Facebook statuses suggests it was quite unpleasant! I was just checking out the website – one of the obstacles involve running through a nettle bush WTF?!

I was wondering why it was so bright Friday night! So it wasn't just the alcohol working…

Honest opnion…

Do no training and little planning, carry bare minimum with definitely no support.

Relax, and enjoy the 'journey'.

That is honestly what me and 2 pals did last summer. Did it in two weeks unsupported staying in the cheapest youth hostels we could find, Camped in Scotland and lived on 1/2 kilo pasta each every night. My only tip would be pack light, if you have to 'think' about bringing something, chances are you probably won't need it.
