i’m 42…..defo getting more grumpy but don’t really give a shit about anything as long as i ride my bike(s)……did i mention i’m single! 😀

they’re great fun…….give it a go…..what’s the worst that can happen? 🙂

i liked 1×10, had a 32 or 34t (for racing) and 11-36 out back but for the grippiest of gloopy or loose climbs i ran out of options so went back to my 26/38 double up front. As others have mentioned with the new 11 speed options going to 46t out back i should think with a 32t up front this should enable me to go back to 1x.

i use wtb nano 40’s in my TCX Advanced and love ’em! Plenty room too 🙂

I’ve had one since Jan, really like it but too many bikes and an impending house move/travelling are forcing my hand so it’s up for sale here…….

cheers for the replies guys…..gutted! 🙁

yup, down tube, just above the BB

sounds shit dude, i found myself in a position of loathing my job but i have to say it wasn’t nearly half as bad as you were experiencing…….i told myself i couldn’t afford to leave, etc…. i was miserable and it really effected my personal life to the extent i forgot how to enjoy myself and what was important. Anyway now i work in a bike shop and i’m much happier…funny that, don’t get me wrong it’s not with it’s own challenges and the pay is terrible but i actually look forward to tomorrow now. Good luck

yeah and shite 😉

i couldn’t even finish Obree’s book….utter drivel 🙁

went through a set of brake pads on friday and no spares…….not going out on the road bike in that! 🙁

What do you do with the vinegar?

stick it where the liquid/powder goes then run a dummy wash cycle…hey presto!

Yup, vinegar works…..been where you are!

yep, agree with one of the previous posters, ask his stw username and check history

had a rather nice brew round a friends once…..in a tea pot, 2 bags of earl grey and a (i think) 1 bag of Darjeeling, twas rather nice!

eh? :-/

Muc-off which would be great if it wasn’t the flat screen tv cleaning version……

Sheeesh

Quick 1hr15 blast on the CX bike, sun did come out but very wet here and blowing a bloody gale, should be better tomorrow…..

get a sandisk class 10 card, that’ll cope with full HD and roughly 12min per GB at that setting.
If you intend to record in 4K then you’ll need a bigger and faster card to cope with longer recordings.

kensington cables are much tougher and cheaper too!

i hear ya…….a load of auld baws! 😉

hopefully……wether looks pish though! 🙁

check your email today……..deals start on the 26th for 12 days!

Not quite the same as yourself, no kids but were together for nearly 10 years….. i became withdrawn i guess and we drifted apart to the extent we were flatmates but slept in the same bed. We didn’t really do anything together and had no common interests, i couldn’t/wouldn’t discuss my feelings with her and her with me, she was really frustrated and when things came to a head she became really nasty in the things she would say and this pushed us further apart. The relationship finally ended and she moved out to go back to her parents of all places (at the age of 32) so living with me mast’ve been bad! 🙁 That was 18 months ago and i can honestly say i’ve regretted what happened every day since, i haven’t been able to move on and i’m completely miserable in every aspect of life……..i barely even ride my bike these days! 🙁 My advice for what its worth is do everything you can to rectify/save the relationship not just for the kids but for you and your partner because whats right for you will work for the kids. If it doesn’t work out at least you’ve tried and you’ll be able to move on, hopefully much happier.

Good luck 🙂

Planet X Uncle John forks only £49 at the moment.

cheers for the link but they need to be disc i’m afraid

Its a no-brainer really…..BUT try not let TCB change your buying habits or just go for deal A because it pays more cashback, basically what i’m saying is cashback isn’t always guaranteed! I’ve earned around £500 in a little over 2 years and i’d say 10% of claims haven’t been paid for some reason or other.

I had 4 years NCB and had a smash, lost 3 of them but i’d imagine all policies are different. As you say if its only a few hundred quid i wouldn’t bother, sorry. 🙁

CX rocks! 😀 fin

Wrong wheel size for a start………… :-/

More rest between ‘beasting’ yourself on the bike and try changing your diet….bit of a long shot but your body may have developed an intolerance to certain foods as you get older.

Length might be a bit long

Yup, looks like you’re right Al, a bit of googling seems to point to a length of around 410mm axle-crown and a rake/offset of 45ish degrees…….back to the drawing board 🙁

Woah……they are lovely but £230!! looking to spend less than £100 🙂

Cheers guys but is it good enough to be used on a daily basis as the main (only) sofa?

cheers guys…..bought! 🙂

cp…..that anthem looks interesting, not too sure about the rear shock though but a damn good shout! 😀

i feel old! 🙁

Plan is to transfer my kit as i have decent wheels/forks and XT M780 drivetrain.

I’ll take a look at the M109

£2.5k is not going to be a consideration, £900 max for a frame and i’m keeping the Carbon HT frame just incase! 😉

Offer excludes bikes, groupsets, Endura (as bloody usual) and Altura.
and customer service.

Fec*ing arseh*les (generalisation, sorry)
