theyre pretty cool cheers for the links

try cks.nhs.co.uk or gpnotebook for info

i just use pliers for the valve core in my tubeless bits, my oil hasnt appeared so cant try it out today anyway 🙁

my order with crc says its been delivered but my postie has been 🙁

i wanted to fettle

i need a better valve core removal tool

what did you use? im slightly concerned by my lack of tools

that sucks a11y, hmm i hope it works for me

puffer 2006

if you do manage it then fire me a pic (or let me have a shot :D)

lol! well assuming i can stay on my course you've got 4 years for it to come true, after that though….

"ah but when it fails its catstrophic"

to be fair if i do something which results in hitting my bike hard enough to cause a catastrophic failure i think im probably pretty **** anyway

mmm 953, id love a 953 indy fab when* i graduate

*if

cool cheers for that, going to order some red rum and fork oil from crc

should make a nice break from studying 🙂

cool ill drop him a line

cool yeah its 29, i thought it was longer than 460 at 80mm. cheers for the info though

26 or 29 reba?

it def works on 29 but no idea about 26 sorry, cheers stu

ok head angle is steeper than i thought, scratch that thought

dt 240 hubs on flows?

yes chainline on here!

lol, fair enough. i think after chatting to sheldon ill cull the 650b idea, so really a question of how folk get on with 69ers

yeah i think im going to jack up the rebas to 100mm but tbh i like using the rigid fork but because thats shorter then youre back to steep head angle. so either going to put some h bars back on it or poss part exchange for a rig and try and sort out a trek 69er as a second mtb (not that i have time to ride 1 never mind 2 mtbs)

loving the black paintjob btw!

flexy at the back and stiffer bb shell are things i prefer over the rigs i had but front just seems like a couple degrees off being awesome

i dont remember meeting my far better half and whipping out the checklist, i remember thinking 'christ she's fit' then later, 'she's pretty funny and smart too'

5 years later she's just paid my tuition fees on top of owing her a few grand 😀

**** result!

interesting robkhoo i did the opp and went to shorter bars and longer (than stock) stem to slow it down, though still need to adjust my forks to 100mm id also like some long rigid forks to provide the same effect-not many come in at longer than 460mm though 🙁

im also considering h bars again or if i decide i dont need my spine maybe a ss trek 69er

gratuitous pics of the selma please gee 😀

cheers boatman once i get my lungs working again ill drop you a line but how do you know you're a lot older than me??

tracker, the speakers are great glad you got some rubber from them

fauxbyfour, now thats very rude! as it happens im part of Nottingham uni and based at the city/royal/whateveritscallednow hospital but there is indeed a derby uni too

cheers mark i might be in touch soon mate

34:18 but think its a bit big so going to 34:19, ran 32:18 for ages and it was fine for most stuff

thats good tho? another jones could be bought (gutting i know but could be far far worse)

You don't frequent here much anymore do you?

its true, i thought, i thought maybe no-one would notice 😳

i too hate beautiful young people who are doing well, there i said it!

So…young attractive and not great at singing are the criteria for hatred here? Are you aware of the "popular music scene" of say the last 50 years?

moisturiser when get to work or alternatively pop into boots and ask one of the terrifying orange ladies for their opinion?

Ashley better watch his back, that guy was a beast in street fighter 2

im so glad i dont work in a bike shop anymore, these folk come in all too often

gary fisher rig, throw enough shit at the wall somes got to stick, how well do 29ers and single speed work together eh?

ahh ok, then the bonk must be pretty small. damn back to the drawing board

well hidesign and pickett are both nice brands but i need/want something more down the lines of courier bag style rather than briefcase, i still have to carry books because im not going to work as such im at uni but we have to adhere to the trusts dress code on days we have clinical skills tutorials so briefcase is bit overkill and timbuk2 bit studenty on those days. its not urgent just the bags above had looked like they might do the job but being rapha i wondered if there was something glaring id overlooked given their relative cheapness compared to all things rapha. on a second look the first bag seems like it might be v basic or small.

EDIT: tails you might be right, can imagine ordering that and finding out it was miniscule

maybe you should stop the sports side of things? clearly you are already too fit and competitive, i would suggest something different maybe take up some recreational drugs and/or comparing strip clubs?

i could, entirely to help you of course, help with the latter 😀

one pic, im flipping gutted

as a former bike shop worker id like to think anyone who puts themselves through working in a bike shop would not stoop to such low levels, particularly as they would understand how gutting it is to lose a bike
