I want one of these for chin ups now!

How old is the wheel? had a wheel that was about 5 years old, started breaking a spoke pretty much everytime I went riding, lost 5 spokes in a week of riding so have had it rebuilt.

Riding with faster riders, learnt just how fast you can ride through stuff…

Give the Bell Sweep XC a look, really well ventilated and pretty light lid, bought mine initially because of fit and because I found it doesn’t give as much of a mushroom head like the giro helmets that I’ve tried do.

How big is the lip? had similar on some old cranks and got the file to it…

I thought B was the only one that crash landed on earth.

Have an ethirteen DRS, bb mounted, it’s great, don’t even notice it’s there and don’t have any noticable drag.

You are meant to deflate the tyres, did this for Canada with no problems, the tyres should stay seated while deflated, just take the bike to a petrol station when you get there and reseat the tyres if thats what they need…

A clue to the origin of the name Swinley comes from the Doomsday book which in 1086 referred to ‘Swinleie’ as pannage for pigs or swine. The forest had been granted by the Saxon king Edmund to the Abbey of Abingdon in 942 and during the pre Norman period the Forest was the home of wild boar, wild ox and red deer which were introduced by William I who “afforested” the area (brought it under Forest Law) in 1079.

Rode a Nicolai gearbox bike in whistler for a day, absolutley amazing, flew down everything, so stable and controllable over jumps too, i’m guessing because all the weight was central.
Got a lot of attention because no one had really seen a Nicolai there too, Even had tourists who didn’t ride asking if they could get photos next to it.

hehe, colossal seahorse vs uber lobster…

Why is there always a bloke with a ponytail?”

It’ll be great for fitness, a friend rides a Santa cruz V10 with us sometimes on short rides, pretty much kills him, but he keeps up…

I’d just get a five, but then I own one and think it’s great…

Corrado VR6, sitting in the garage at the moment SORN until I find a job, still in two minds as to whether I should sell it, don’t drive it much anymore, but when I do drive it i’m back to thinking I should keep it…

Just popped into town on the bike to get a coffee and singletrackworld, went out without a jacket as it was sunny, had hail on the way home, the magazine is now papermache… 😕

Peace Lily? only aware of them from watching hot fuzz though…

Dakine, fit and feel like the troy lee xc just cooler and with an area on the thumb for the nose wipage…

Sorry to hear that, bristol seems to be the bike theft capital of the UK at the moment, maybe the police need to setup a stinger/sniper operation….

Fixing braking bumps to then watch a Rider come through and lock up the back brake for no real reason, usually get an ‘I cant help it’ when we shout for them not to?! yes you can, you don’t have a problem with the front brake ffs?!?!

litter, especially inner tubes etc. in trees, that took **** effort to get it there, why not use the effort to put it in your bag/pocket..

Hopefully this pic will give an idea, of the clamping system.

Thomson Elite stem clamps in the centre, looks like a perfect excuse to get one…

Need a crank extractor:

Or middleburn do some neat self extracting crank bolts:

Funnily enough, a couple of days ago I overheard a guy chatting to his mate about a bike that came to the shop he works at (not sure which but seemed like halfords) with square taper cranks that needed removing, he didn’t once mention a crank extractor, did mention using a screwdriver, hammer etc. and then said ‘thank god for Hollowtech on new bikes, makes taking the crank off so much easier’… 🙁

Yep, Brian mentioned the g-spot was the next to be replaced when the STD was released.

I think the trail is Shoreplay on Cypress Mountain, Vancouver..

Onzadog-Yep it’s true the greenest cars are the most recyclable and the Jeep Wrangler (of major manufacturers) including fuel consumption was worked out to be the greenest. The Toyota was one of the worst due to amount of electronics and that battery which is a recycling nightmare. Our super goverment insists that all minister (below built proof issue) have a Prius, even though Toyota could not(would not) give them CO2 life cost. Prius all marketing and no substance.

Yep they could do that, the first stage is to dip the frame in an acid bath though so you’ll need to source some replacement graphics. 🙂

Had a frame clear anodised and it took a lot of abuse and came up looking fine, can’t remember how much it was though, paid a bit extra to get the frame polished.

I’ve plugged this company a few times on here now and will continue:

Some examples of the stuff they do.[/url]

Big fan of Ugly Duckling, try Hilltop Hoods too…

And three albums I think you’d get into:
Aim – Flight 602
Luke Vibert and BJ Cole – Stop the panic
DJ Shadow and Cut Chemist – Brainfreeze

I have the exact ones as in the picture and can tell you they are 2006. differences: have a split clamp for the handlebar (single on 2005), and a silver reservoir cover (black in 2004). 2007 onwards were a black in colour and had an aluminium adjuster dial.

Waiting for a flood of Kleins now. (never liked them for some reason)

Yess Pro Full Suspension Singlespeed kit:

Who chipped it? Theres a lot of companies doing this, not all offer a decent warranty and probably a small minority to another owner, is it actually chipped as in they have reprogrammed the ecu or is it a plug in box?
