using the same size stem to test all the bikes makes a lot of sense. it’s called minimising variables.

steve jones articles may be hard to read, but he can ride a bike better than any of you, and at least the reviews are based on his opinion and not the bribery that is rife in most other magazines.

4mm – gear
5mm – brakes

Out of curiousity whats the difference between 22/36 and 29/37?

Really?

He was a pig!! Deserves everything he gets!

Dude? Hero?

Let’s see, a suspend feature which never worked from day one, no amount of BIOS flashing or footering could fix it.

Let’s not pretend the Windows ‘half-life’ feature where the system slows to a crawl over a 6-12 month period requiring a clean install, doesn’t exist either.

Another, “I work in IT, therefore I am a POWER-USER, but actually knows just enough to **** everything up” idiot!!

Drop dead Fred.

yeah, oven method has always worked for me. just make sure the mrs is out.

it’s so they can check each others nobs out, thus making it an easier decision who they want to stroke during their mid-ride, behind the bushes gay sex session.

If all you have on a your bike is a small scratch then you’re not riding it properly. Stop mincing!! :-)

5-10s.

I fell asleep whilst riding home drunk one morning. I woke up when my face scraped along the road. I don’t get that drunk and ride anymore.

They charge £8.50 now!!!!

Unless they’ve built some hills I’m never going back there again. Thanks for the warning!

Hand my kids over to a bunch of rascist fascist retards, yeah right!!

I avoided IR35 for 2 and a half years. Year as ltd, year and a half umbrella.

Earnt more as an ltd, but it was more hassle, in the end I think I preferred the umbrella route which was obviously hassle free. Apart from receiving dividends in Belarussian roubles!

duffmiver – May I call you a nob?

of course you can.

however, being an IT manager for a famous fashion house, I am anything but unfashionable!!

And, of course, calling people names is all mature and clever I take it?

No, just my opinion.

So what’s a decent wide flattie pedal that doesn’t cost the earth??

If you want a well thought out argument:

lower centre of gravity
fewer pedal strikes

Is it really fashion? That’s just a nobbish retort that people make without even thinking about it. Do you really notice pedals if you’re checking out someone’s bike?

Fashion.

Nob.

i use a modified dustbin

bigger disks are more powerful because they cost more. if they weren’t more powerful nobody would bother paying the extra would they? :idea: :wink:

yes they do

oh no they don’t!! :lol:

Basically, 3 chainrings is for birds!!

My lowest is 22-34. I can ride up walls in that gear!

I use 2×9. I’ve never used anything else, so there’s no regrets. If I’m ever spinning out in top gear, I don’t wish I had a third chain ring, I just wish I had a trail to ride instead of a road!!

I only ever visit this forum to experience the fighting. If I want to read about mountain bikes I go elsewhere…

I have a barely there on my Desire S. It’s very good.

My mate has a devinci hucker frame that he’s looking to sell.

Don’t need to – the phone seems to handle it’s HD perfectly well.

I know, it’s a pretty tough question, the website doesn’t make it at all clear. I’ll try bikeradar, see if they know.

Are the newer consoles still suffering from the red light errors?!

The new consoles don't seem to suffer from RROD.

But if you're intent on getting an xbox, then one with a hard drive is a must.

You can plug in an external hard drive or usb memory stick, a hard drive is not at all necessary.

london is a shithole!

surely 130mm is normal for a hardtail now. i'd say LT started at 150/160+

it'll take you 10 minutes to do it yourself, or three days for someone to send you one.
