    Awesome cheers. Ninja Tune cd I’ve been after for years for for £2.70 😀

    Yep, running disc brakes and suspension but its one of the 1st gen 456’s so no mud guard mounts but pretty sure it has rack mounts.

    Will check out the commuter/p45’s cheers.

    I wish my local was ‘A fish called Rhondda’ but alas its Zero Plus, Cowbridge Rd, Cardiff. Tis ok though as their chips are excellent & is even endorsed by cheggers 🙂

    I said right at the start I was simply repeating hearsay. Knob yourself.

    Just me or is there a positive correlation between these two comments?

    Well I’m originally from Devon so I guess an honorary Welshman… of sorts 😀

    Will check out halfway up and also Castle Bikes. Would be good to meet up with some like minded folk with some local knowledge too.

    From my house to the Lewis Arms is only about 25 mins ride. Not sure I’d fancy riding the Taff trail at night on my own mind you 😯

    Mmm, are all these routes easily accessible from Cardiff itself? Albeit having the ride start along the taff trail.

    Really need to expand my rides to the local area rather than just trail centres. 🙂

    Also helps that its narrated by Steve Coogan – I’m a big fan.

    After watching it way back when it also made me go & buy this

    Liked.

    Never saw or even met him but liked as he seemed like a great personality and a very likeable and talented guy who’s life sadly ended shortly.

    That and Dirt was the first ever mtb film I saw which I still have on vhs – totally inspired my firends and I to get out on our bikes and try and make our own, and might I add v poor video 8)

    Love eggs?

    Is that what they call those funny shaped chainrings?

    Wiggins is a big fan of them I hear 🙂

    At the moment, Wiggo for example, still shows the sort of humility that suggests his words and actions are consistent…

    I really hope so, for the sake of British Cycling at least, but then we’ve always got Froome to fall back on if not 😉

    So in basically the past 13 years of the tour the only two credible/worthy* winners are Cuddles and Wiggo?

    *as yet and I hope never do blood dope

    [edit] ^^ post by colinmac really paints a picture doesnt it 🙁

    Just done a best mans speech for a good friend on the weekend.

    I looked on the net and found the same tired old jokes seemed to be frequently repeated. By all means pretty harmless and likely to get a laugh but probably heard before none the less.

    Whatever you do don’t explain that you and the groom have been through a lot together. Most of them are sitting on the table at the rear of the room 😯 – as was said at a recent wedding my friend attended

    I changed from 195/50/16 to 205/45/16. Resulted in a slightly smaller diameter but it meant I had far more choice of tyres and ended up getting a decent(ish) brand – Vredstein – instead of a cheapo make and I the ride quality is now far better than on the budget Accelera it had on before.

    The slightly wider tyre also offers a bit more side wall protection against kerbing etc.

    Have a look at this. Perhaps 205/50/15 might be better?

    I found Humvee (and Endura tbh) sizing a bit odd. I’m a 34″ waist and had to get a an XL in the Humvees.

    I’m not exactly a welter weight but this is the only item of XL clothing I own!

    Might grab a pic of Geraint’s in Cardiff before it reverts back to red – if thats what they intend to do ultimately.

    On second thoughts you would be better off trying to investigate any links to Singapore you might have. Look how much they pay for a gold medal 😯

    Ah but wait for the track racing when Chris Hoy overtakes them both.

    How many events is Hoy competing? Is it just the Keirin or pursuit too?
