Whats width bars are you running on the 5spot?

I’ve recently switched to 29er and dropped 10mm stem but gained 25mm in bar width…Feels just about bang on.

I have tried so, so hard to like real ale! It just doesnt ‘do it’ for me…I am a failure as a man.

OP – whats the secret?

*runs off to lock doors/windows and into bedroom to get comfort blanky*

Brant, Are you a regular on mumsnet?? 8O

I’m worried I might feel all unable to ride my inbred again :cry:

Edit – Now I’m reading **** mumsnet, whats happening!?!?!

I’ve just done similar to collie and redfordrider except inbred 29er, 100mm Reba and £80 cheapy wheelset (from Merlin) to get you going.

Cant see me going back to 26 inch wheels TBH…Not in HT flavour anyway.

Enjoy!

Got a little soft spot for haro from yesteryear…great builds guys!

Chainslap, looks particularly enviable in 29er flavour :D

Check to TT length Hora, I was looking at these but they come up very short.
Lovely bikes tho.

Ouch morgs! Hope your missus recovers quickly. remember to don your silver tray and roller skates :D

binners, i’d avoid getting ‘aids’ at the pharmacy if I were you :wink:

I’m going to pledge Sunday as last day of smukin…will be riding Sunday afternoon and need to start the campaign with a ride…Dunno why, just do.

BTW satsumas seem to be out of season darn sarf…Do clementines have the same mytical qualities?

Nice one firestarter.

Hope its going well bobfromkansas.

I know a naughty story about a lady, a snooker ball and a trip to hossy …won’t repeat it on-line though as likely to get baynd!!

Not really sure about any other instruments but I have bought c. 20 guitars/bass over the years and they all play/feel/sound different, even same model out of the same factory whether that be cheap FE stock thru to high end USA custom builds, personally I wouldn’t buy on line without playing first YMMV….

HTH….good luck.

So…Let’s see some commitment then :twisted:

When’s ‘D-Day’ happening???

18c in mine, until I open the front door then whoooooosh…

-10 in 1.2 seconds :?

Yeh top effort Khani!

Even after beer and curry and me puffing away like a steam train on speed didn’t rattle him 8O

Dont be worried about the weight, you can ride my bike for a bit…that’ll get ya sweating :lol:

Good job man!!

done.

Late 80’s early 90’s…chemicals…raves…nuff said.

Good going loco and scuzz! You’ve every reason to be condescending smug :wink:

RJ – How the **** did you manage to put 100 fags away in a day?? 8O

Sounds plenty useful :roll:

Not even a token satsuma in it?

What do you get in the quit pack binners?

have it on good authority that my er, “gentleman juice” tastes much better now I don’t smoke.

TMI…I’ve just been sick in the bin under my desk!

I’m in morgs…Been a right f*nny and back to “normal” smoking levels.

Going to start/combine with the 100 press-ups thing as exercise seems to be the way forward :twisted:

Thanks all…Definately given me a few ideas. Will try and stay away from pubs with an identity crisis!

fended-less of your monkeyist prejudices please

Soz :wink:

Day 1 starts for me tomorrow. Also recruited a couple of fat blokes from work who are ‘wellard rugby players so should be interesting…me skinny bloke with long monkeyesque arms, them fat barstewards with only a few inches to drop :-)

Baaah-ling 8)

Very nice, good price too atm…Pics on bike when on?

top tip – pay attention to your cabling, if you can stomach the cost use Nokons

Twice the cost of jagwire and goodrich 8O

Do you get twice the performance in your experience of these?

E46 3 series saloon here, roof bars are a must imo,…my kids are 6 and 8 and already moan about rear leg room. Nice motors but not particularly bike/child friendly Ime.:-)

Hth

Will email you the only pic I have so far (on pants iPhone 2mp camera)

Still awaiting delivery on a few bits, shadow rear mech, niner flat top bars, so I’ll post proper pics up next week when everything is arrived and fitted…REALLY pleased with it tho! :D 26er NO MORE! :wink:

The painted Inbred 29er’s are ace IMO!

Just built mine up and deffo vouch for the paint job on the inbred 29er. It’s much better than On-One paint of old :D

Singletrackmind, man that is awful! Hope your mate keeps himself together, you’ve done a good job by the sound of things. Keep the faith and grab a beer… you’ve earned it.

My wkend with the little’uns…hello kitty monopoly,toddlers n tiaras,overbloody tired, won’t sleep…I might actually be able to get a beer and some dinner at some stage tonight.

Rock n roll !!!!!!!!!

Rode the local woods on my spangley newly built 29er yesterday :D

Just ridden out the front with the kids before it buckets down with rain….Nice

Sorry, 9 words:

Oooh nice! Bit ‘Jel’ I hafta say :D

ITB?

Nice one OP, watched that whilst chowing down an uber hot chilli…there was me thinking I was being extreme :D

Hard

Funkin’

Work!

Wors, you’ll be even happier once they’re open/empty :wink:

You don’t buy days like this with money

‘Tis true.

Additionally success should be measured relative to the hand you are dealt..and then how you play that hand…

Blimey, bit deep for me 8O best have another glass of red. :D

I wear my Kyle straits pulling the straps from the inside of me legs to the outside, that way, any extra loose strappage does not hit me frame or owt.

I do this too.

Anyone offer any advice on washing them? Machine/handwash/or just leave muddy, stinky and rancid?

I use an old stem as a guide.

This…none to scientific, but it works well enough.
