Could the matches be to light the burning tyre? A popular way to torch someone in South Africa

Thats a bloody quick time.Try and take in Lizard Point and Dunnet Head to get the furthest South and North points in as well

Look for low gearing many crossers are geared far to high for offroad use and set up more for commuting or touring. One of the Konas has a triple (The Jake)and that may be better for real offroad or cross races like the 3 peaks

These people might be able to use old bits

So you would have wasted your breath and the staff were a waste of good oxygen?

No as I have done 224 miles in 12 hours which is not that good in a time trial and the example quoted is about 17.5mph.It depends on the terrain of course

how much is a 14 year old shag and 2oz of sweeties?

Also bolt through axles might be best I have heard of brakes trying to pull the wheel out of the dropout under the force of braking

+1 for half the new cost

There is a 100 mile event called the Exmouth Exodus leaving Bristol at the end of June heading for the south coast. Its an overnight ride starting at 10pm ish http://www.exmouthexodus.co.uk/

I agree with Zaskar why should he be out of pocket? I am glad the kid is ok but the parents are responsible for keeping control of the kid (like you are with a dog) so claim off their insurance its why you have insurance.

I never change tyres I just put something knobbly on and when they are knackered keep them as summer tyres .Do people really change their tyres that often?

I would assume you need the 29er as they are the same size as 700c 26" would drop your front end

Audax is a great workout and cheap they put overpriced sportive rides to shame also some of the old buggers may not be hugely fast but can do 300 miles with barely a break

trackmitts unless its cold

I would like an expensive bike and motorbike but always buy cheap cars because I am tight and also poor

A nice bit of retro steel from Genesis maybe ?

I could not ride the off piste stuff we do with really wide bars as they would not fit between the trees

Sorry thats unlucky I have never buggered those up.

I still want a Fireblade at 46 and one day when the kids have gone I will get one .Im to crap on a bike to do it justice but it will happen one day

Years ago I read Martin Morans book about the first completion of the Munros in winter .It opens your eyes as to how harsh the weather can get in Britain

Bike shops are usually happy to get rid of bike boxes

Just ordered 20 cheers for the link!!

Actually having looked more closely is that repair bush what we need ?

I think the OP like me has stripped the extractor threads not a pedal thread

I'm sure that is a major concern of most bmx riders.

Who always push their bikes to wherever they perform their tricks

Brakeless on the road or one brake is also illegal unless riding fixed so in the event of an accident you would be unlikely to get compensation ,or conversely liable to a claim against you

As used by the Unite union

With a big tail pipe and several Engerland flags!!

Do you get a council tax rebate living next to that?

Well produced video from guys who didnt edit their mistakes .I am crap on really steep stuff and cant afford a bike like that.For once I wont criticise

All the mines are closed it wont happen

Good reply from onone I dont think you would get that from many and as a business model lets hope they continue to thrive.

Has it finished ? I couldnt watch anymore.!!

I took out a back boiler and opened the fire place in a 60s terrace .I installed a log burner and built a mantle shelf from a reclaimed scaffold plank .I used pva to coat the brickwork to seal them .It looks better than the 80s reconstituted stone thing that ran the width of the living room that was there before

You might be better going to an engineering firm as I doubt a bike shop will have the kit to do it.I have the same problem but non drive side on a tandem stoker chainset.So same question but in Somerset

I used a rubber granule mixed with resin compound its what they use on horsebox floors and its water proof you mix it together and lay it with a trowel.I have had it in my works van for 6 years cost about 150 quid to do a lwb Renault master

Dave Yates for a nice frame in Reynolds tubing

There is probably a span adjust screw in the lever to move the lever out a bit.Or they may need bleeding ,cheat and zip tie the levers in to the bar overnight and this will force any air out.This should leave you with a better performing brake and less lever travel
