The Force chainset is a nice bit of kit. I have a Sram red chainset on my Supersix and a spare Force chainset taken off a bike I sold and I can’t tell the difference. I like Sram, in my view lighter and better looking than Shimano stuff. The Force has unused 50/39 compact sram red powerglide chainrings on it and is 172.5 arms. I am going to sell it as I don’t use it and it is like new. It’s BB30, £125.00 posted if you’re interested or wait for it to go on ebay in a couple of weeks and have a punt.

I just got a kili cromo to replace an alloy frame and the ride is fantastic. There is more weight in the frame, about 800 grams, but the feel of the frame is much more supple on the trails. I don’t feel as battered on the downhills at speed as the back end rides the bumps instead of crashing off them. Mines a 15″ frame though so the big ones may be a bit stiffer.

Looks good that does. I would get some black grips though to complete the Ti and black look. Is it 1 x 9 or 1 x 10?

Kili Flyer cromo 26″ HT. Replaced Fort alloy HT 26″.

My new ti Kili is now built up. Its only had the ‘up and down the road’ test but feels fast.

Cheeky local spin tomorrow morning.

Pictures? Any new bits or just swap overs from the kili cromo?

Google front derailleur shim and it should come up with something to do the job.

+1 for Nukeproof Electrons. I bought some last week at Llandegla when I forgot to pack my spd shoes. After 20 years of spd’s I was converted and they’re staying on the bike. Just need some shoes now instead of trashing my trainers.

We’re getting Akbars, the best curry in the world. That wellington looks awesome though.

Raid the fridge for all the out of date left-overs from chrimbo’. The doritos and dip were lovely. :D

sorry for the lack of info’. Its nacho chili cheese dip. So no prawns. :lol:

It was opened on boxing day. I’ve dipped now so it’s too late. i was convinced by the mayo argument so fingers crossed.

I’ve been looking for a while too. I was hoping they’d be down to £250 now but looks like this is as low as they’ll go. The force are the same price so it’s a good deal.

Merlin. Not much in it but they are £299 with a 10% discount at checkout making £270. Free shipping from Merlin, not sure about the Germans.

CRC. Low prices, lot’s of discounts and amazing delivery.

Amazon. Have everything and reliable fast delivery.

Charles Thyrwitt. Quality clothes and the best customer service. Lot’s of deals too.

Happy Xmas.

Can’t they get that dick from ryanair to join the bet. If anyone deserves a kick in the nuts its got to be him.

Sanyo eneloop are the best rechargables and you can get them here

Apparently its on Netflix for streaming for those in bed by midnight!

I can’t find it on Netflix. Are you in USA?

I bought 4 for a tenner off ebay and they’re great. Had a choice of warm or bright light (went for bright) and at 4-5 watts per bulb a big saving on halogens. I bought from a seller who listed as being in Manchester but they came from China. Took 9 days so no problem. I would guess that all the LED bulbs in Ikea, B&Q and local stores are made in China anyway so buying off ebay isn’t going to get you anything much different.

Altura Attack trousers for me. It’s getting cold and damp up here in Yorkshire.

Doesn’t look like polos are gonna work.

I got one of these and it’s great. i wore it on my ride on Sunday when it was cold and with a base I was nice and toasty. I now have two as I got M to start with but it was a bit tight so ordered a L. I am about to return the M but if you like it and it’s your size I’ll do you a deal to save me the bother. I only tried it on and haven’t worn it. It’s the green/white/black and has 3 pockets at the back for snacks/stuff.

I’ll be interested to hear what people think after they’ve been. I went last year and it was a waste of time and money. Not enough big brands, no bargains to buy. In fact not much of anything to buy. The test track was a bit of sectioned-off patio outside the hall and it was either a long wait for the bike you really wanted to try or take what they’ve got. There were 9 year old kids being given 20″ commuter bikes just to get them outside. Rip-off for parking and food and I went on the Friday so had to suffer on the M6 northbound commuter gridlock to get home. Never again.

Yes. I have looked at Virgin, BA and Thompson for May/June and July/August and no deals yet. I don’t know if it’s all the taxes and the fuel costs starting to have an impact but it’s a big increase over the last couple of years. If anyone has any tips on where to find a good flight or fly-drive deal post it up.

They’ll be fine. Get some. i made my own from cut offs from old bars and wooden dowling to jam in the bars. They are great as long as you use double lock on grips.

Anthem X as well but with 120mm forks.

Whats the relevance that he was

a roadie on a racing bike properly kitted out all the skintight gear with legs like brick outhouses,

???

He was another cyclist who is probably fed up of getting the “all cyclists ride through red lights and on pavements scareing kids” shit.

They’re mtb forks but for a tapered head tube with an integrated headset. What’s your steerer on your current forks?

Not cheap though.

I bought this ….

and did this to it …

Nitromors, primer, paint, decals and clearcoat added up to £83.00.

It’s built up now and looks like this ….

Excellent fun 8)

I don’t think Shimano have a customer service dept. Their stuff never fails. 8)

Hora, if you have been using a blackberry and are familiar wit it why not look at a Torch 9860?

http://uk.blackberry.com/devices/blackberrytorch9860/features.jsp

I got sent one from work and it’s the first smartphone I have used and I find it simple to use and have never read the manual. Great for emails and the camera is good. Also has gps so you could set up a sat-nav as well.

I have one and it’s ok. Low stack height is why I got it but it’s smooth enough at the moment and worth the £22.

Thanks for the reply Carlos. I’ll phone those on Monday and see what they think. I read Sheldon and it all looks a bit tricky, chemicals and cutting etc. so that’s why I thought I might leave it to the professionals.

I’m gonna wait. I want the Giant. Riding is limited for me at this time of year so I’m not fussed as long as I get it by March.

Yep. Since November. :(
