got one of these at the beginning of the year been used a few time in some right shi*ty weather and its held up ok little bit sweaty but waterproof,going quite cheap on CRC at the mo for the 08 model

anybody picking mine up would think that it either belongs to an older black rasta or a mid 30's ex scooter boy due to the very large amount of ska,dub reggae,mod classics and abit of classic Bob marley, i'll leave you to guess which iam!!! 8)

06 caldera now with added raceface bits and a set of Rockshox Reba race

if its the engine and iam assuming its the engine if its out of the hedgecutter and its not that hard to take them things to bits put the offending part in the oven to warm it up then try unscrewing the offending bolt by digging a screwdriver into the top of it or drill a small hole into it before you warm it and use an easyout.

i use to work in a plant hire place and we use to do about 3/4 of them a week in the same way

enlighten me more Captain on the Nirvana rides??

my wife the one ive been married to for a couple of years

might try that if so where bearing in mind that iam fat and a bit unfit’ish

Don’t be i have a bad day at work could do with a laugh even if its at me

Excluding bike 2006 Kona brought in 2007, £316 on a set of Rockshox reba races from CRC as recommended by quite a few on here along with a Raceface team jacket and new seatpost (xc deus) and a Syncros saddle had it delivered to work, my work mates now think iam mental.

should add that we have two kids already from previous marriage/relationship the stepson is 15 and my daughter is 11/12 in two weeks time so its been awhile since we did the whole nappy/baby sick thing but we both can just about remember,well the good bits anyway!! :lol:

Donyland woods essex slightly down hill VERY twisty speeder bike bit of singletrack ends in an up and over bit of mini north shore wood work over a fallen tree and over stream

living in Essex would agree with some of the above if your up near Colchester you should give Friday woods and the surrounding woods a look Miltary training ground thats open to the public so lots of real bomb holes and loads of speeder bike singletrack trough the woods if you want a guide let me know should be able to make it out Sunday but not Sat as have family stuff on e mail in profile

sorry iam late didn’t here the tannoy call, right two solutions as i have had this very problem

1- put porn on one that really gets yours and hers motor running that should help

2-before you start have a merchant bank but don’t take it all the way do this a few times and you’ll finish in quick time plus you can normal make it hit the wall across the room in a pornstar fashion

p.s turn the fu**ing caps lock off it makes it look like your shouting

WOW overwhelmed with the response come on try a little bit harder someone must have a good spot there willing to share(grid ref etc)

got hfx 9s on mine found them to be a bit intolrante of some pads i use oem ones and don’t have any probs

off to drive into town in a mo so keep your eyes open for a big fat mountain biker on the coverage tomorrow, ta ta for now let you know what it was like later.

believe there is a kids race on tonight before the main event so i think they are going down just that route

As someone who works in the forklift industry there really is some grade A boll*cks spouted on here about batteries, the cells(the correct term) of today are very lightweight compared with a few years ago and getting lighter at a very fast rate,my company also is the only major player in the industry that uses hybrid forklifts using a gas engine to power electric traction motor there are very fuel effciant compared with a dieseland the wiring on these forklifts is no bigger than household wiring so nowhere near substation size.

As an engineer if you as a complete stranger came up to me at work and asked to borrow a tool i would say no and for the simple reason there are how i make my living and iam afraid to many people either don’t bring them back or break them(ie £120 snap on ratchet)or bring them back covered in sh*t so no i don’t think he was being tight i think the offer of some money (deposit maybe) might of got you the use of the pump.

just got home to find that i have picked up another three points making six in all and guess what thats nobodys fault but mine i drive just the same amount of miles as your mate G and guess what from now on iam driving like a vicar as my job is linked to having a license(service engineer) we all speed at times and do know what only you are to blame if you get caught.

1 just finished lot of chicken shish kebabs and snorkers with jack daniels bbq sauce.

Rudeboy naughty naughty you should get some aftersun on the areas effected pronto and as someone who has got a 3″ round by 1/2″ deep scar on my leg caused by skin cancer i would like to remind everbody that sun block is a really good idea on days like to day and the rest of the week from the look of it.

23% enuff said

i see the teenage mutant twating armchair ninjas turtles are out in force today, walking away take more guts,self control and bravery than turning round and twating a drunk teenager and as for the wild assumtion that they are all tooled up to the nines that is just mad most teenage do not go round with knives that is just good old media overblown hype, i except that in the big cities that you are more likly to meet a kid with a knife but he is just as scared as you and unlikly to use it until big brave have a go hero goes and gets in his face(ie what the **** did you just say) and just the same as you don’t like people disrespecting you neither does he only diffrence is his life skill’s are not as developed as yours and so he reacts without thinking,where if you walk past with confidence and head held high he will more than likly call you a few names (sticks and stones and all that) and go on his merry way and you do to.

nice one TS glad to see the wool can still be pulled over some peoples eyes on here.

(tee hee no one has ever worked out that my post of the same topic was trolling to!!!!) :lol:

mine are all miltary trainning ground and have been since around the time of the first world war and still are now

strangely had an oldish lady tried to convert me whilst out on my bike, had stopped for a rest at a carpark at the local woods she started by telling me that jw’s think cycling is the best from of transport did think this was a very wierd way in but politly told her that i have been a buddhist for the last 20years and wished her well,she responded by telling me that Budda wouldn’t be able to save me from going to hell,rode off think that the last bit was a bit rude and unnessary.

little know fact her stepdad is Harry Enfield, has to be said i think she quite cute and looks like a real women not skin and bones, don’t mind her songs and can take them or leave them do think she writes with tounge firmly in cheek and i don’t think she got where is is on her dads shirt tale after all he is only a third rate brit actor and not a very good documentry maker.

CFH yep that really is me in all my love god status!!!!!!!!!!!

me looking a little smug(god knows why!!)

Blo*dy hell i thought this would have been put to bed by now IWH please just send the blo*dy things or pay back the money as this thread is beginning to take over peoples lives and some of us need to get back to riding bikes.
