Had accupuncture twice by a chinese doctorman (ftfy).

seriously, this is an ancient system of medicine, why are we discounting it
cos its mostly a load of ‘llocks that has not been found to do any better than sugar pills. rhino horn and powdered tiger bones?

detox diets, cupping, osteopaths and accupuncture you guys are well funny, though i suppose if you happy to give your hard earned to some nutter and it makes you feel warm and fuzzy then crack on

quite liking the bonty 3rs (or whatever they called) tubless ready and cheapish too

^^this.
middle of the road soft rock for people that don’t like music.

managed to shear the bottom tab off mine after about 40miles off road (carrying 900g sleeping bag) . great idea just a wee bit flimsy i think.

get one with disks and chicken levers and you will be fine, love my cx and do a lot more miles since i got it.
i run 35ish tyres on mine for most things and is fine, a quick change to 28 slicks and its great for a road only blast.

poor show from the riders passing by without even asking if help was needed.

i thought it was a red grade DH not a red grade XC.

They very much do flex, if you look down at the forks when descending or braking, it’s very alarming!!

got a set of white bros rock solids, nice and comfy but i can see and feel them moving under heavy braking. takes a bit of getting used to 😯

get an allen key a size bigger than the original hole, hammer into now rounded hole, unscrew.

lifelong fizzy drink addict here:( can easily get through litres of the stuff a day unless i keep it in check. luckily i’m not into chocs that much and the thought of a mars etc turns my stomach

read somewhere a long time ago that diet drinks esp coke have about double the amount of caffeine than normal so it is easier to form a “habit” with diet (think methadone), seems to ring true with me through personal experience anyway.

old workmate called campbell baxter, nickname was two soups 🙂

To be fair, the Family Guyrobot chicken parodies nailed it, so any Family guyremake is futile

not sure with prices now but iirc it is about £30-40 in petrol an hour in use(although lots are dual fuel these days) + fees + storage + maint + transport having a boat aint cheap.

working nights here and i’m going to take advantage of the dry weather and head out when i get home about 4. doubly looking forward to it as it will be on my nice new bike.

+1 for a strong coffee to get the motivation.

very good stuff esp at the price. use it neat and it will degrease the shoot out of anything 😀

i have the whyte and can’t fault it. chicken levers and mtn bike geometry make it a bit easier to get used to than a more racy cx bike.

tesco do a sub kilo down bag with about the same ratings for £40. had mine a year and very pleased with it.

There was a really good documentary about the nuclear boy scout saw it years ago unable to find it since

cycle up to loch lomond then spend the day on mates boat, pub then cycle back on sun. BRILLLLIANT 😀

you could hop onto the ben nevis loop (40-50miles depending on route)from there or head up the west highland way to ft william and back or down the whw over the devils staircase to kingshouse for lunch and then back over the DS and down the ciarnan path to KLL.

okay, why cant i get an ultra niche 900euro boardman 29er in the uk.

29er mtb
you assume wrong

thats the local trail centres covered i wouldnt bother with anything else 🙄

Spending more time talking about a sport than you ever spend participating in it. Football ESP banned

salomon amphibian, got a pair lurking in the back of the cupboard. maybe a bit overkill for just the beach but good for all round use.

you can get AA powered usb chargers for about a fiver on the net. cheap and simple

also back in bed carter usm, cos i’m in it jumping about like a loon.

Imagine 30 hour days though, how much riding you could do !!

We’d all be (STW0 pro level cyclists

nope more time just spent on here i would wager.

my sleeping patterns have always been a bit wonky even as a little kid i was a night person. quite normal for me to have at least one 36hr day most weeks.

if the river is too high you can trudge through the bog to reach the path along the loch. this adds about 20-30mins. i wouldnt try the east side for any reason.
reaching glenmore campsite will still be tough though if you are leaving much after 12pm

i would stick with the traditional way round, this includes a good amount of road and “easy” tracks making the 70km faster than it sounds. going up the tilt would prob take as long.

keane, the band for people that find coldplay a little too edgy.

“perfect music for wetting your bed” is also a good description.

Exped ul7 bit heavier than a neoair but cheaper and comfier(on a shop floor at least)

cant fault the tesco down one for £40.

cheap army style cot for car camping, expensive exped blow up thing for on the bike

ginger wine is the way to go

cheers all. the fsa one died after a few hundred mainly road miles, total crap.

Walter carlos with clockwork orange soundtrack

that makes sense stu.
ordered one anyway think it will prob fit best if i use the top hole onto the lower boss and cable ties to secure

it didn’t want to catch you, just follow you home.
