Don't know if they are putting a tapered steerer on the 2011 but either way it will be good.

2010 are normal headtube
, not sure of weight but it's way under 9.7lb

More chance of getting a full English from Felts in the morning.

Claire Balding or Vanessa Felts?

She is what Lady Diana would have looked like if she had survived the crash and eaten lots of pies.

The single pivot Oranges suit faster riders than mincers i think.

The casing of the tyre is more important than the size, go for double ply sidewalls with 60a compound rear and super tacky front.
It's nice to have a chain device but i wouldn't buy one just for the trip.

nickegg, sometimes you get what you pay for.

If he was flying down an Alp or something i could understand the helmet cam, but he seems to like filming on busy roads whilst looking for some aggro. Hope he wasn't too badly hurt but he deserves a bit of gravel rash for being a complete cock jockey.

What a sad life he must have to get helmet cam footage of a road ride, i bet his evenings fly by.

You made an issue out of nothing by banging on his van and shouting.

Looks fantasic.

Why not use the earth from their jump to build a jump over the hole?

Love the look of that Orange 5

Dual ply, super tacky front, harder compound on the back, 2.35 or 2.5 with normal tubes and you will be fine. Would not bother with normal ply and DH tubes.

I think the Meta is a bit fragile, the hire shop in Verbier had them last year and they spent half the season out of service waiting for new bits and pieces.

The top picture represents everything i hate about biking.

mrmo, climbed up to croix de cour on savolyres about a week ago, had to push for a couple of mins where the piste crossed the road, the rest was clear, loads of snow on the north facing side though.

Passed through the St Bernard tunnel yesterday and they were out clearing snow off the road to the pass, would guess there is still too much snow though, the last bit doesn't get much sun.

We did quite a bit of testing with creatine when i was at uni, the placebo results were very similar to those who were taking it. I think we came to the conclusion that people performed better because they thought they were taking creatine and so should be. I remember the side effect not being nice. I can't remember much more just now i have a scrambled head from white wine and a french lesson. Lucy

Thanks for your suggestions everyone.

Ok, Ash, tell me your ideas please :)

Put some slightly thicker oil in.

If you can get fish and chips in scholes. they are officially the best ever, served from a tiny little garden shed!
Andy at wheelspin might be worth asking about routes.

Jonzo, I would be kicking ass on the race scene but the finals are always on Sunday and i would miss church :-)

No, right handed, prefer left foot forward though.

Nick, I meant 'holy trail' not gateway to heaven…i have trail dyslexia.

Nick Hart, I repair broken skis in the winter and the music is Jigsaw falling into place by Radiohead.
Freeride Nick, the last bit is Nuthouse and a bit of gateway to heaven.
Tracey, could you bring one of those pies with you.

Yes, the road.
