Mark had already told me that if there was a problem, he would send me a new battery by a different courier.

Perfect thanks.

Er, not good. Was about to order a new battery from Smudge for my Troutie. Can Smudge shed any light on this :wink:?

Courier the way forward rather than Royal Mail?

Good friend of mine (female) uses the “what’s in your boot” question at speed dating events (she’s into that kind of thing). Replies will quickly sort the wheat from the chaff. Set of golf clubs – get lost. Muddy wellies/bike/dog/boots and you’re in there!

Just got mine back from Pedals Edinburgh. £62 in all including all parts, fitting and bleed. Top service as always from them.

Great ta – will hopefully get sorted for the relentless 24 :D

Old one not holding charge as long as it used to.

Talked to death on virtually every motorbike forum in the world. Endless studies cited that it makes no difference what you wear. Endless studies cited that you WILL die if you wear black. Jury’s out.

Bust mine on Saturday – dropped it off at Pedals this afternoon for repair – will let you know how much £££ it costs! Basically a button seems to cost about £40 plus labour. Full remote over £100 plus labour/bleeding etc. Shocker..

Another Tour de Ben Nevis. Glad to finish before the heavens opened!

Another right jar, left lid here.

:D jealous – looks like a good ‘un

I have an old ipad 1 running Ios 5.xxx. If I upgrade to 7 is my old ipad going to die under the strain??

Damn you damn you damn you. Now I MUST have a Shand Stoater FT. FFS. 8O

Good PSA – recording set! :P

Will be there. Still can’t decide whether to take FS for comfort or light HT for speed on the big landie tracks.

Turin Hound

Stared at that for ages then got it and just about wet myself *wipes tears from face*

+1 for James Hunt. I mean, check out the patch on his racing overalls.

Signed up months ago and am showing on the “entered” list on the website but apart from a receipt at the time I haven’t heard a dickie bird – have I missed any important emails?

:evil: will keep my eye peeled.

Oh some awesome ones in Finland this summer which I’m hoping to copy. Took some great pics BUT on my harddrive which I’ll get tomorrow night. I could rant for hours on this topic. SOrry not much help but ohold tight for pics tomorrow!

+1 for paragon. Anodised bikes covered with it for years. Good stuff.

Yep – signed up – still don’t know which bike to go for

any other thoughts?

All dogs at DH centres should have to wear one. Would that satisfy the OP?

Problem solved?

In Dunkeld this weekend – any pointers where to pick up the start of these trails? Was hoping for a week explore at some point.

I thought this was sorted days ago – still going on?

Wow – was looking at these 10 minutes ago. Good timing. Was also looking at Carry Freedom y frame.

Interested to know what you think when you get your hands on it – review much appreciated! :wink:

8O

8O in the library PMSL!

We had ours rammed with all kinds of kit. They didn’t care as long as we got it under 32kg.

Ugh. Hope you can claim from them…..

Great ta – will give both those a try.

[EDIT] just discovered I have Publisher on my laptop – had no idea what it was till rusty pointed it out!! :oops:

My local school, watching with interest.

I’ve just started teacher training for secondary teaching. Also watching with interest………

Are you sure?

100% for the very simple reason that my BikeBoxAlan with a bike and all my riding kit weighed 35kgs on their scales. Was told the handlers will not move anything more than 32kgs – that is the limit for a single item regardless of what it is – and I had there and then to take some gear out and put it in my other bag, which then weighed 21kgs but she let me away with it. Wife had EXACTLY the same issue on the way back in GVA. They may of course have changed the regs but that was certainly the situation in both EDI and GVA 6 weeks ago.

32kg for bike, 20 kg for bag flying to Geneva in July.

Is “Shadow +” the proper name for clutch mechs? And are they available in 9 speed or only 10? Ta.

Mrs DB and DB junior both suffering. It’s only a matter of time…..

Fair point Orange – agreed. An organised race trundling through could hardly be construed as responsible.

A small scale gentleman’s race on the other hand……

Dazzlingboy, a member of singletrackworld.com, wrote: “If the map has been published, a group of us should ride it anyway and exercise our world-leading rights of access.

Typical lycra lout.

YES! Fame at last! Glad that the attitudes of the landowners have been brought to public notice at least. Just shows that despite the support of all and sundry including the Council, Spokes etc, a small number of interested parties can hold it to ransom.

Raises event organisers in my estimation. How they manage to organise events like the Six Day Trials, Etape Caledonia and MTB rides in the face of these attitudes is beyond me. And this is in Scotland where the landowners don’t have a leg to stand on if we did turn up to ride it. How do organisers manage in England!! Obviously this was marketed as a “race” etc which muddies the access waters I guess.

Serious note too – shows how comments made on here can be picked up and spread around – dangerous……..
