yep still there

Why was that not helpful?

i wear lycra to mtb in as its comfy and light . What do cross country racers wear? you dont see them in baggy kit.I also don't classify myself as roadie or mtb .I am a cyclist I have a go at most forms of cycling (apart from bmx cos it's for kids)

That setting is probably worth £9.50 without the sandwich

Missy Giove wont get parole in time

What the hell is a torque wrench? Does it tell you what to do? I have a talk wench, is that similar?

If you are going to be a prick I wont try to help in future

Washing a mountain bike? is that before it gets hung back on the wall

Like the local canal toe paths as well then.

Are they like cameltoe paths?

Although I am not a fan of carbon anything on a bike I will try to be serious.Was the brake lever over tightened? thus over stressing the bar at that point.It may be an idea to use a torque wrench on lightwewight components

Just buy lycra shorts I can't see the point of under shorts

I started Montain biking in 1984 the hills were peaceful and the trails empty. How I wish it were the same now as then when only a few people had even heard of mountain biking

£45 postage, he's having a laugh

You will need
bb tool
cassette tool
chain breaker
chain whip
pedal spanner cone spanners (depending on wheels)
allen keys

don;t buy oneof those kits in a plastic box for 30 quid as the tool by and large are made of chocolate fwiw I would buy Park buy once and good stuff will last the diy mechanic years

He's getting old all good things come to an end

you will find inch headsets easily as most road bikes had them until not long ago. I last bought one about 6 months ago

Why are you nervous of quill stems?I don't break them on any of my off road bikes including the inch ones on a crosser and 2 mtb's

do you take the logs home for the fire?

A pikey's dog at a fair bit me when I was a kid so my dad threatened to kill it with a machete.The pikey fair scum didn't seem as hard as they pretend when faced with an angry dad

near the callouses?

or cut the outer in two and add an inline adjuster

Well if it wasn't for the forestry Commission we would not have many trails they are only harvesting a crop after all and tend to turn a blind eye to our off piste playing in their woods

Button Out

Dull race with little passing I expect Moto gp is better imo

mechs with antlers on 'em

Still using some of those

Take the map as well just in case the gps fails goes flat or gets broken .Then again it could be fun if you blindly followed the gps and don't know where you are.The AA reckon car drivers often phone up saying I don't know where I am I was following the voice!!

£9.50 sarnies ? if you can afford them business must be good !!

I can see that point as well, bit of a problem on the trust point both ways really

You must all live in rough areas to get this much grief with vans .I have had a window smashed and the stereo nicked but nothing else .The bikes get left in it often as well

I would meet in the sellers house not at mway services it could be nicked

Sarn Helen that Roman road clearly marked on os maps?

mtbing should be about riding what nature put in front of you not digging it up or following the herd to trail centres with all there nice idiot proof waymarking.Then again if it makes you happy it leaves the hills free for the rest of us a bit like the Pennine way leaves the rest of Britain free for those who want to maske our own walks up

I'm 6ft 4 and always find the straps to short as well

Half the people I see mountain biking look like they should play golf which will probably be the next hobby they try, followed next week by something else.God I wish the hills were empty like they were 25 years ago

A bit like Richard the Bear and Rupert Branson!!

Anything drug related is fair game. What the **** its got to do with the authorities what i decide to shove up my nose, down my throat is beyond me .You can kill yourself for all I care but don't go to the Nhs for help,same goes for alcoholics and lung cancer sufferers brought on by smoking

Bar ends with riser bars.

What's wrong with that? it gives you another position. Then again if you buy the right height stem you shouldn't need riser bars anyway

permissive for horses as far as I know I think the access was negotiated by the Mendip byways and bridleways people

So Andy the bit that concerns you is the footpath to callow hil quarry from Yeo valley which of course you can't cycle on or am I mistaken about the route? surely no one would organise an event that used a footpath?

My first thoughts were that he was pissed, he seemed to be staggering and slurring, but as you say it could well be mental health issues.

If he is a loon he should be sectioned .Another example of neglect in the neighbourhood ,sorry care in the community not working maybe?

I have ceased to wear baggy jeans down my butt. Thats cos anyone who does looks a complete ****
