But who would be the femme? 8)

It’s the way of the world, experience counts for bugger all, box ticking qualis are where it’s at! 😯

Time for new bike shoes I reckon………..

Come to France and try to start a MTB business……………….

Coz Lance needs a chopper………………. 😕

Jeez Busydog, confirms my earlier reservations when considering this post.

Easily attacked and slated, but our modern way of life puts us in a secure bubble, and travel to countries such as these still needs much consideration.

Good look to the OP.

Any wiser? 😀

T’would be nice to see this geezer has been found and requires no further input………
Until then guys, keep looking!

(Been there with the disappearing due to depression thing!)

Are Nobby Nicks directional, coz they look wrong to my eyes?

Bakes………….superb! 😀

Anybody had a waterproof camera……….this thread needs pics. 🙂

It’s bloody hard work in the mud!

There is a sure-fire, scientific way to quantify a frames resonance………..

Clamp your teeth to the toptube and get your assistant to ****t it with a sledgehammer 😯

That water splash over Sheddon looks pretty full. Been dunked in there once or twice.
Just behind there is a long metal raised pipe about 4ft diameter, that makes for entertaining, group riding in the wet……………. 8)

Yep, great stuff. Leaves no residue. Used for cleaning cd lenses too.

Bimbling (Just because I can!)

Edit: yay it works 😆

Excellent, wasn’t expecting this! 🙂

I run a 2000 110 cdi auto.

The injectors welded themselves in, had to be done. The speedo went wrong, had it replaced 1500 euro. The anti roll bar bushings need replacing as it rattles like crazy over stuff.

I live in a relatively dry place but rust is still an issue(above sliding doors).

Other than this I really like my Vito, it’s high mileage now and still keeps clogging on.

Bloody hell, should look like a techni-coloured snowstorm, nice that!

I'm new to the world of DSLR and have just bought a D40 with kit lens and 55-200VR.

The thing I like best is the software that auto corrects any distortion , vignetting, WB, etc.

This makes my lenses/camera perform far better than they otherwise would and lets me get involved in the 'developing' stage as well.

Sorry about the crap 'SHON' song

Nope, it's still there, don't leave it in the shed! 😆

It's got to be the stem, this one looks better balanced (not mine)

Dxo Optics pro6 has the ability to correct problems with camera and lens distortion/flaws which you can set up to work automatically if you're using supported kit.

Will also work well with Lightroom 3

If that lot doesn't sort it, Kapersky do a small FREE program,

Tdss Killer

I had a very similar problem, playing havoc with hosting, unable to do windows updates, led off to 'AVsoft' bogus sites etc.

Quick and easy to use and worked immediately.
Good luck

Shaka Khan, Alison Moyet and Buster Bloodvessel ?

I will never buy car insurance from

'Sheilas Wheels'………

Aglet

The word "aglet" (or "aiglet") comes from Old French "aguillette" (or "aiguillette"), which is the diminutive of "aguille" (or "aiguilee"), meaning "needle". This in turn comes from the original Latin word for needle: "acus".

I've never popped a rock in a mate's camelback, because that would be wrong………. 8)

My Giant Reign weighs about 35 pounds, I'm about 14.5 stone.

I have lighter bikes.

Where I ride currently, I really don't want to take lighter bikes.

It's all relative…………

You need something like this

(There are more expensive, better sealed versions, you'll have to look around)
Headset removal tool
Headset press

Bored with niche………mainstream,cheap functional is where it's at!

Relyon here, imported into France (extra 300 euro!)

Natural fibres, pocket sprung,cotton top……no foam, too blimmin hot here for that,locals seem to put up with terrible beds though……….

But……about £2000

One of the few things I miss about the UK is post ride beer drinking, covered in shite, with mates and the craic that goes with it……

About 10 hours, with a group, in winter, in the muck. Had to peddle downhill to keep moving.
You'll love it!

It's the difference between pootling and slam dunkin for me……………

I tend to ride rocky stuff, and don't like skinny tyres

To avoid targets!

Just think how many people will get to hear this story over t'internet etc, who are into bikes, over the next few years.

A good deed like that can create a lot of positivity towards a company.

It may cost them dollars but I believe it's money well spent.

Better than slick, flashy adverts. Other companies would do well to remember the worth of goodwill.

Bit of light reading for you……

And where do you get Alpine walking boot Spd's from?

Big empty car park on a Sunday. Just tell her to drive like a farmer on a tractor.

Don't try anything fancy, just drive backwards for a bit.
