chrome uses alot of resources, memory, processor, and hard drive space, had to take it off my netbook because it was using over a gig of space on the hard drive. i still have it on my laptop on windows and ubuntu and find it really good, never had problems with it crashing.

that bag looks pretty good, looks almost the same as the chain reaction one. i've been looking at getting it for using on the planes

never knew chain reactions was on quidco, that would have saved me loads!! been registered on that for ages and never knew it was on there! what an idiot

i was about to post that as well, gutted i had just put a massive order in.

i've been in the army a while, and i'm fine, got a good trade, good income, lifestyle etc, however yes you have to go to afhanistan, but of the people i know well who have been killed in the army, most of them were in RTAs or doing sports in their own time.
quote from bbc this morning: 'Some 34 of the 300 deaths have been from accidents, illness or non-combat injuries'

my win of any sort is looking iffy!!

its unliely to be cracked there, pleanty of scratches and chips on my frame that are far worse. but get a second opinion in person.

if your after parts, its always worth a look on the classified, loads of second hand hardly used parts going on there. thats where pretty much all the parts for my new build are from

cant see a problem, if i let air out i make sure valve is at the top so only a little bit leaks out.

new one certainly has 2 tuners, never really had any need for more as normally if something else is on its repeated later so can record it then

hopes are fairly heavy, but i really like them and am happy to carry the extra weight. normally some mini's going cheap in the classifieds.

i've seen a pump type one that was designed for watersports types for washing boats down, cant remember where it was. so far been happy with my mobi washer, just need to remember to charge it, but if i dont i can always run it from the car, just more hastle

doing my tomorrow hopefully, i'll let you know, but mine cost me 140 quid brand new

+1 for black circles, also you might be better calling them, same price and they are helpful

"SAR costs up to a 15,000 Euro maximum. The policy covers all immediate family members or life partners including children less than 18 years of age – within one household, worldwide. In essence, this develops a fund from which rescue costs can be repaid and prevents any sole individual from bearing the total cost of their rescue. A one week search for a missing person could easily cost 20,000 Euro."
i had been told when we've been down you have to carry proof of insurance in the mountains for any sort of rescue, from the AMRS website it sounds like you will pay for costs after.

any yes i wouldn't do any sport/activity that is inherently dangerous without appropriate insurance that covers rescue/medical costs and if i wasnt in a job where i'm getting paid even if i'm unable to work i would also have cover for that. a small misjudgment could be you out of work for months.

yes, should be covered on insurance. in Austria they will not rescue you unless you prove insurance or have a big limit on your credit card. i hapily pay insurance every year, its not expensive and well worth it if anything happened. however it would put alot of people off.

depends on what riding you do.

i got the deviant, seems good, dont like the xc lid type adjuster, gets in the way, but got it for £50 from evans on a price match. so its good value for mone

just get the un54, or perhaps look at the token BBs they seem pretty good for the money, had mine in a couple of months and its really smooth. Stay away from Superstar ones though!

it will be fine, i used to have a T4 and have heard people recommend putting a bit in to clean it out, so as long as as you filled the rest of the tank it will be ok.

i find him quite funny, league of their own way a really good show, and gavin and stacy is good, not seen him in anything else, but those 2 things have been good

they are a bit shorter as well, which you will probably find more comfortable coming from a mountain bike

i own a set of lupine lights and a set of DX lights, both will easily last a 3 hour night ride on a single battery and there is very little difference, not any difference that warrants the £200 difference. If i had seen them before shelling out for the lupine ones i would deffinately have been happy with them.

+1 for DE Lights

confused.com is rubbish for pickup insurance, i think it was compare the market i used to get mine, but i do pay double what i was paying on my T4, but still not too bad, 600 a year. its because they are classed as commercial, but most i have seen about are used as everyday cars.

i've always put a bit on my forks and its always been fine

both were in the wrong there. i think the cyclist may have been out looking for that seeing as he had a helmet cam on, cant really see why you would have one on the road otherwise

climbing, running (for fitness), mountaineering. bit of road in winter

blaupunkt ones are really good, i have used them for a while, can make them look pretty stock, and some of the lower end ones have blue tooth and all have mp3 and usb. bluespot.com do good prices on them.

sta travel, i have i think the gold policy yearly because i travel quite alot, covers most sports (including mountain biking and climbing). never had to claim so no experience of that.

he wont get back, woulda been better for someone local to him ask to meet up to have a look at it.

that mojo has to be stolen. no chance its genuine.

my order has been sent today, got the email notification

locking to cars isnt gonna do much. lock them in the car, or lock them in the tent (not in porch but in with you)

+1 for hopes, took the juicies off my bike and put m4 on last year and they are just amazing, so smooth and powerful.

army dont as far as i have been able to find out.

do it, i'm just in the process of building one up again, after a few years riding fs, and most of the time locally leaving it in pro pedal, and wishing i had something lighter. wont be selling the fs though, but it will be mainly for trips away.

people will still buy the old one, so get it, and sell it.

howies

good t of the week this week 😀

but if you bid, win, and then cash on collection??
