Train harder…I’m brill at climbing but fat alberts are heavy. I’m only small so it very sluggish going uphill. There’s loads,of climbs in the calderdale valley where I live but these tyres are holding me back. I hate that. Lol…I’m no weakling but fat alberts are a no no for climbing. I love the mountain king tyres for summer for me they are fast rolling too. Think I mite go back to those tyres . A lot lighter on my bike too. I have smaller rims cos my bike is only 14 inch frame…

infact yes you have seen corrie cos you must have clicked the link to find out what i was talking about ..lol !!!! a big fat lol :mrgreen:

lol here is mine :

i would like to know if the top swing mech has changed, as my front mech is a top swing on my 2009 model…

sounds abit ET to me…. :wink:
you sure you got the right mag….. wasnt MBUK was it…instead.

yup have fun on the blue pig…
seriously tho do you realy need the windows ?

oh my daughter is in the same procedure as you…her tenancy is due up in two weeks time…. wierd cos the agency havent even contacted her yet to see if she is renewing or leaving ???? just two weeks to go…?
she has been looking for somewhere else to live, and we spoke to another agency today and he said if you have been a good tenant for 6 months, then you dont have to have another 6 months tenancy… you can now have a ‘month to month’ roll on agreement….. i hope this is true cos i dont think she wants to stay another 6 months.. we think the owner of the building is also trying to sell the apartments now rather than have tenants in….

you got a bargin,,.. if you think this bike ‘rocks’ and ‘performs well’ for you, then yeah go ahead and get the upgrades you require….. no point in having a bike your not happy with and spending a fortune on upgrades…
off you pop them armo…be happy to see some pics when all the upgrades are done… :P
just out of interest…how does a lefty feel…. the first time i saw pics of the leftys i thort ‘how can they be stable enough’ ? (i wouldnt have alot of confidence in just one fork… :?

My whippet sings and he does the washing….he gets to the top of the staircase in just about 2 jumps..can. do a funny dance…just not quite good enough for the x-factor yet..lol

Yeah I have the sensation…it’s ok…had it nearly a month…just about getting used to it …yeah battery life isn’t brill…..but on the whole tis a nice fone…just rwish the kueypad wasn’t so sensitive.I got the screen protectors too.

Cube-ist-Steve.

nowt that xD

i recognise this area…its pretty local to me.. yep some Gnarley riding :wink:

thanks all for sound good advice as usual here on singletrack…it means alot to me that you peeps out there do care on such sensitive issues like this… :wink:
see what happens in the next few weeks…but to be fair all i want is for this young pup to get well and hope he turns out to be aloving dog… i spent most of the day with him today… realy bonding with him now…. im sure my daughter wont give him up or try to send him back to the breeder…..’its not happening mum’ she said today…. ‘we are dog lovers and he,s staying with u….he will have a happy life with us….that i can guarante.. :wink:

UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE AGAIN……
… hmmmmm it gets more confusing…… afew weeks ago i have her recorded on my fone saying she had sent the papers the day b4 we foned her….
just now i got post at 11am through the post (posted 21 feb at 3pm)we have recieved a card form called : Sherleys pedigree form. it opens up to list parents and grandparents great grandparents…. tho nothing is filled in where its says kennel club number date of registration and kennel club stud number…
listed are all the dams and sires with osh names ( who knows if this is legit ????? yesterday we found her to be advertising through various names she calls herself…
the only thing we know from this form is the sires name and adress but not full adress it just gives a name and from Barnsley….
she prob has alot of these forms and fills in wotever she wants…. would you trust this form ?????? i dont know probably not….where are these dogs registerd if at all….
on the back of this form there is http://www.sherleys.com, www,beaphar.com where you can purchase 10 of these forms for 2 pounds….its says pedigree form inside but nowhere does it give a phome number for birth registration details to be checked out…..

oh my god it just gets worse…..just had a phone call from hubby and the enviromental people ‘know of this breeder woman’ and she has dogy dealings in the past….they told us people have taken thier pups back to the breeder cos they are viscious !!!!
now the pup we have is biting all the time and bites the back of your legs…i just thort it was a ‘teething’ thing but he does bite alot for a puppy…. apparently we have been told by the enviromental health the dogs are bread with a guard dog so unfortunately our pup isnt pedigree…ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHH wot do we do now ???? the rspca arent going just yet as the enviromental health are going to see her agin in a few days to have a sniff around the place c wots going on then they will get back to us in a few days….
oh my god i cant tell you how my blood is boiling now …jesus christ ….
why the hell havent the enviromental people closed her down ??????????????????????????????????????????????????? for gods sake ….arrgggggggggggggggggggggggghhh

yeah the vets wont give us a stronger shampoo yet cos its too toxic for the pup ( they say)….. tho he was born in november so im guessing a few more weeks of vet prescribed spot on treatment then the Aludex shampoo (will this clear the mite infection up) ?
and months down the line i really do hope his fur will grow back ?
have already been in touch with trading standards and for now they say to write a letter to the breeder initially stating that we require the ‘papers’ and partial refund of the pup as the breeder has breeched her contract and tell her there is a deadline of 7 days from us writing the letter……then if nothing happens after that then we have to ring trading standards back and stage two of this they will tell us wot to do next…. but after hubbys outburst on the phone last night to the breeder i guess we wont be compensated at all (lol)…. i cant believe how much this situation has completely dominated out lives in the past few months. wot alot of stress and anxiety….phew..anyway the R.S.P.C A. is being notified of it today and the council already know about it…my hubby spoke to someone yesterday who is totaly against puppy farming ..so hopefully we mite get on the right tracks…..but i doubt we wont get any money back….. we just want the pup to get well agin as it has a lovely home here…. after 2 lots of ‘spot on’ treatment it just isnt working and 2 lots of ‘antibiotics’…the pup just keeps getting fresh bites all over him…. im hoping with time as he gets older he may get better…. but his immune system will be crap at the moment…bahumbug…. :cry:

yep we saw the mum but not the dad….she brought out 2 pups to show us from behind a big closed door,,,, obvioulsy the mum was loking alittle tired and to be honest quite under weight i guess thats with feeding the pups… but yeah letting the dogs go so young was abit alarming to me… at the end of the day it was my daughters choice to take the dog… i did try to talk to her in the car b4 hand not to rush but when she saw the pup ( you know what its like you fall in love with puppys.. lol… so yeah the next stage is defo the R.S.P.C A …… and will ask them to check if she actually has a licence to breed all these different dogs…then small claims court if it comes to that…

well there were other adverts advertised as kennel club registered for 350 quid depending on the area you bought them from…. its a complete mess… daily this situation has taken over our lives….spent most of pups days at vets and telephone calls..jeepers i darent even open the next bill… lol….

lol @ ‘which is the best way of keeping dryer’ ?????? i duno carry a battery hair dryer with you !!!! lol or even better dont go out in the rain (your bound to stay drier then ! :wink: hahahhah
yeah depends on the angle of the rain throwing itself at you at a guess….

Wot the he’ll, I have used grammar..question marks, full stops…geez wot more do u want….shall I grit this thread too then I won’t be a slippery dude…. Hee hee. Quite hard typing this on my new touch screen…smaller keyboard….hav a heart guys. Lol

yep beej is correct…. yup guess wot…it was 02’s fault…MMS wasnt enabled on the network….. a woman had alook through on her check list and guess what …one box wasnt ticked (MMS) !!!! so now its been enabled and it works fine….crickey id have thought they mite have been able to check this procedure in the shop yesterday…i was in there for 1hour 20 mins with the guru trying to solve it…….. maybe in the shop they are only aloud to do certain stuff ?? it mite take an ABSOLUTE GURU to do these checks ‘online’….ho hum at least it works now..
he didnt have to change my sim tho agin did he.. he thought i had a duff sim card in my fone…i dont think so….lol

oh dear thats yet more bad news…. keep checking ebay !!!!
wot the hell : why are you mimicking spelling mistakes on a thread like this “to the (above poster)….. :roll:

Cos of flat pedals…..oh…. I luv flat pedals for mtb

clip ins for road bike yep… Flats for mtb.. if I’m gonna fall off I want to be sure my feet are not stuck to ruddy clip ins lol…

Lol at kiwi…oh dear I’m afraid u have to iiman up a bit more…you fell off and hurt yourself cos of flatters….MTb,ing is where it’s at ….you are defo gonna fall of at some point otherwise your not riding hard enough. Lol

Iike I said druid, learn to decend with your seat abit higher than u would normally,-for not so steep descents then u wont have to keep getting off your bike….

For climbing yeah adjust your seat and for decending lower your seat. That’s only twice not every 5mins like you say….as time goes on you won’t have to adjust all the time. I’ve learnt that I can manage my seat position slightly higher for some descents, but for relay steep tec decents then yeah I drop the saddle. My son just bought one of those dropper seatposts where you have the button control on your handlebars, so no Need to ever get off your bike ever to adjust your seaport length.

YeAh I want some of these tyres for summer… Tho they have changed the design a lot. The new design is very nobbly.I prefer last year’s design for summer riding.

yeah my vets will only deal with ‘pet plan’ insurance cos they pay up straight away..
there must have been about a dozen fone calls by us, vets, and insurance today… the vets is arguing with the pet insurance at the mo wanting to get paid ‘straight away’… The pet insurance is now happy to do what the vets want.. i think its a case of faxing details over from insurance to vets…..its now looking like we just pay the excess ( we already paid 60 pounds the other day for various antibiotics and such like….so just another 30 quid extra to pay which will take it up to the 90 pounds which is the excess payment… there will be onging tratment for the youn pup in the next few weeks, i feels so sorry for him he is only 15 weeks old…
It is scandalous tho they way some vets are with certain pet insurances…..that just proves it cos another vet just 4 miles away we spoke to today said they would be happy to wait the 5 days till they would get paid….. im not complaing about the cost thats why you have insurance knowing that you just have an ‘excess to pay’ and thats it….the issue is the way some vets go about wanting payment upfront…and you the customer may have to pay upfront..

oooooh…. scroll down to ‘funkyduncs reply’……see this is wot you get by asking a simple question….

Geeze spelling mistake. Panadol I meant to say…works well for me.

Two every 4 hours…..but yeah paracetamol are generally good for keeping your tempetature down. I myself find that paradox are quite effective..also nurofen are good too-but if you suffer with asthma do not take nurofen or ibuprofen as they can make you wheeze…..
