Auto hold on BMW leave the brake lights on, it essentially applies the handbrake for you (and releases when you press the accelerator). Not sure if the lights stay on if you put the handbrake on yourself while the car is still in drive.

Aux armes de Bruxelles http://www.auxarmesdebruxelles.com/be/ nice place to eat (if a bit pricey) but they don’t seem to have an english version of their website anymore.

It might have been “deleted” but not as the Mac saw it. When you put the files in the trash bin make sure you empty the trash before you remove the card from the mac otherwise the files are still present.

But I always find formatting in the gopro/cameras is much more reliable as some don’t always like a mac format.

You pretty much need a bleed kit if you cut the cable. I think it’s pretty much impossible not to get air in the system/leak some fluid when you re-attach the remote.

My remote is mounted “under” the bars on the left on my bike with no issues.

Cheers all

Had this with Egg. Phoned FSA when the press got wind of it last year (I think) and they sent a standard letter on my behalf to Egg. The FSA said they would not intervene any further unless I disagreed with Egg’s decision. Egg, to their credit, held their hands up and returned the premiums. I suggest writing direct as you get all the money back anyway rather than doing via a “PPI claims company”

Yeti ASR5, heli tape, clearance not an issue

I saw him a few weeks back. I was annoyed that he didn’t offend me.

Perhaps that says more about me than him…..

I have been trained trained trained, but that isn’t always the best way in aviation. The industry has become far more black and white since I joined it, but that causes issues of “I haven’t seen that, or been trained for it, what should I do”.

Being trained how to do something doesn’t necessarily make you good at it.

I work in the aviation industry (not aircrew) and it’s easy to say “they should have done this” “why didn’t they notice that” but in a very stressful situation your brain changes from what are normal thought patterns to something that seems normal to you but the reality is that you aren’t doing normal things.

You get tunnel vision very easily in a high stress situation, your choice in how to resolve the problem becomes the only thought process you can appear to be aware of and once you start down that path and add the stress into the situation it can become impossible to break from that and select another course of action.

I myself have done it and have seen colleagues do it. Afterwards the reaction is “why the f*ck did he/she/I do that” but at the time it seems the correct thing to do, or you brain has no other option available to it.

Shame that so many lives were lost and yes it shouldn’t have happened. But it is easy after the event to sit and look at the facts and blame those who can’t defend themselves.

Yeah I am venturing away (when the arrive) to hans dampfs. Partly due to the german porno-esq name

Mine is seated on the rim correctly as far as I can see, I think the tyre hasn’t been manufacturered totally “true” as it were. Slightly irritating but I can like with it, ish

Have a medusa on a stans crest as well. Thought the wheel was out but it is just the tyre.

Ordered fine earlier

Recently went from SLX up to XT on my new build. Night and day, far crisper shifting and the double change option is a nice touch.

The Mountianbike channel on vimeo is a good place. You need to sort through to find some of the better ones though

Cheers

Thanks mojo5pro

What are the taxes and duty rates? And is any US tax subtracted from the price on the hucknroll site?

bigjim – I have the anno black ASR5 and it seems pretty tough paint to me so far (early days of ownership)

Love my ASR5 too. Anno black myself, but that white does look nice. Would it be rude to have a pair of them?

On the wish list for christmas. All the bike (powered not pedal versions) guys at work rave about it. Meant to be a great film, looking forward to it

My only bike is 1×10 (32 and 11-36) and I don’t regret it. Not yet found any hills that I thought I wish I had a better set of ratios for as 32-36 is a pretty decent gear for a climb. If I have to walk up something with 1×10 then it’s either very steep or I need stronger legs!!

My frame was from Silverfish via the LBS

My alloy came with the RP2, which I was a bit miffed about when the website pics all show it with the kashmina shock. But it does seem the alloy frame gets the cheaper shock.

Had a King on order in red but they “have been discontinued” according to Winstanleys.

Am considering the Hope as an alternative.

Thanks rickon, encouraging that a full recovery is possible. Vet wants short 10 minute walks 3 times a day. That is all she is getting despite her claims to be fully fit.

Will look into the mind game thing

My Collie has done a disc in her back, she made a horrible noise when it went 🙁 rest for the last 2 weeks and currently short walks. She was on diazepam for the first two weeks which stopped her wanting to chase tennis balls, but now she is off them it’s a bit more difficult!

On the vet bills front, they are pets and the costs get charged that way. Horses for the same operations are nowhere near as expensive, possibly because they are seen as working animals rather than pets.

I had labrynthitis which lasted quite a while. It “sounds” like that, your GP probably won’t be sure and should send you to a neruologist if your symptoms are recurring for a reasonable amount of time.

The inner ear will correct itself, well the balance system will “learn” to balance, but it varys how long from person to person.

I was running 2×9 (29/44 and 11-34) on my old bike. My new build is 1×10 with 32 and 11-36. The lowest ratio is the same so I haven’t lost out on that side, the top end I do spin out on the road on the way home going down hill but I’m not fussed about that. I did it for a few reasons, less faff with the front mech, weight saving and a bit of nicheness. Am happy with it, yes. I find the 32 front ring gives a different feel on the bike, perhaps its the tighter chain and shorter cage than I had on the old bike but when you give it a push when you are struggling you get a bit more drive than you would in a smaller chain ring.

If you are worried about fitness and mtfu I was off the bike for 8 weeks and am no fitness freak and I haven’t found it too difficult in the surrey hills.

I run a e13 32T ring up front, I don’t think it was 10speed specific and I’m not totally sure it would matter?

I run 1×10 on my full sus. Works fine apart from a slight amount of run on the chainguide.

Cheers rondo

Where might one purchase one of these?

120mm reba on mine

Wanted the orangey colour but there are no more small frames left

The anno black is nice ins’t it Leku 🙂

Rear moves a little under “normal” pedalling on the flat with pro-pedal off. But with it on it feels pretty stiff, not as stiff as a hard tail but very little flex noticeable to me.

Feels pretty light and nimble as well, 25lbs in shop before I added the reverb.

Mine arrived on Monday. Love it! Great bike.

bigjim in the same boat as you. There are tapered headsets to fit which you then fit an adapter as the crown which allows 1 1/8 forks to be used. Hope do them in their “pick and mix” range
