Cool – thanks for the comments – makes me feel better now :) Time to get excited? – After I finish work Thursday I expect the positive vibes will kick in :)

Thanks guys – makes me feel more confident :)

LOL – no van assisted and B&B’s so luxury really – if we did it over more days then we might have done it unassisted :) And all for charity as well – well mostly ;)

Yes I was going to but space is now limited Tim – one of our drivers let us down badly and he was going to get us a transit but now we just have a std people carrier :)

No matter – I think i’ll stick to my guns and stop worrying about stupid things and MTFU and enjoy it ;)

Thanks Neil – yes being a **** as usual ;) – oops (swear word)

WW – yes would be a very comfy ride ;)

Sorry last minute doubts – Sorry I was not willy waving about me having fancy bikes (BTW they are all built up from 1/2 price components and sale/cost price frames BTW no bathing in money)

But yes a dry arse and a softer riding bike is probably best :)

Sorry just getting twitchy :oops:

LOL – Ooops – sorry ;)

Me too :)

BTW don’t ask to Heli tape in A certain bike shop in Totnes, Devon. You get a stern reply that no we haven’t got and don’t call it heli tape!

Update: Fixed

Somehow on fitting I managed to push the NDS bearing out of the shell a little as it was deforming out outer plastic seal – Knocked it back in with the soft end of the screw driver and hey presto all sorted :)

No worries then – quite a specific Question – I’ll have another play tonight :) I’m sure there is a simple explanation :)

The only other thing is just to measure the BB shell just in case is >68mm a bit?

I have crashed but not badly and seemd to do their job so I can’t really report – I try not to crash badly ;)

It’s so bad it’s good – LOLOLLLOLLOLLO :)

It’s great isn’t it :)

49c6d-3db5d – £5 off £50?

its terrible isn’t it – on soooo many levels – thought you’d all like hate it if you gave it a chance ;) LOL

Ahh cummon – its the best waste of 5 mins of your time!

I loved the Road bike segment – so in depth and informative ;)

I reviewed them here – seem pretty good for their purpose?

How about wheelieing it?

Not sure what you mean by prouder (if you are taking about the width) – do you mean it has more spacers on one side than the other – if so this is normal?

Loco is on the money – Tubeless you can run @ lower pressures but here is as I see it (talking generally).

Std rims with kit + Std tyres = harder to inflate and may burp at lower pressures and side walls may not be strong enough to prevent tears.

Tubeless ready rims and tyres = easier to inflate, sl thicker side walls and valve and tape needed but unlikely to burp or rip.

Tubeless rims + tubeless tyres – much easier to get up, burp rarely, bit heavier d.t. the thicker side walls but don’t need sealing.

All benefit from milk inside the tyre :)

Cheers Reggie :)

Cheers guys – I have a MTB Hope going very strong. The articles I have found on the GXP convertors all seem good :)

We’ll I didn’t bother Sunday – did a ride Sat Nr Exeter instead which I enjoyed, no wind with a bit of light rain – I was going for the 100 miler and this was cancelled – wanted to be able to ride another day rather than blown into a car!

Yeah Large def – IIRC they do do and XL?

BTW mail me if you want any other info – If you live nr Exter your welcome to try out :)

Climbing will affect it hugely – I usually average 16mph around Dartmoor ;)

Hiya Harrison

I got the Large – my inside leg is 32″ (trousers not to base of foot) and I am 6ft (I have along back) – The Large is spot on for me – Gary is about 5’8″ and the medium was best for him if that helps at all – lovely riding frame :) Enjoy :)

Doing the JOGLE in 2 weeks time in 8 days – Not sure if that counts but we have raised about £1500 for charity so far :)

Closed then? :P

I see you can do courses so you could use it as a basic mapping tool if you uploaded a course and followed it?

LOL just answered my own question :) http://www.dcrainmaker.com/2011/08/garmin-edge-200-in-depth-review.html

No it can’t WW – I doubt she’ll require an HRM ATM but I expect that I’ll have replaced my 800 to the “900” by then ;)

Wasn’t suggesting you were fat slowjo – just suggesting that if you were a heavy rider then prob why? :)

LIDL and sealskins merino

Are you heavy – I hover around 72-75kg and never snapped a chain once (on or off road) – just wonder if you 80-90kg then you produce more torque on climbing and thus more prone to snapping chains?

Oh god TG, not a good day to do that up there ?

Did it a few months ago – someone turned the light switch off – I linked it to having a gut virus – was fine then within 5 minutes I dropped off the pack – chucked loads of gels and bars in then was back to about 75% – Just get you stores back up to normal – give it a rest for a day or two and you’ll prob be fine.

Just look at why – seems you didn’t eat enough so take a bit more next time?

+1 OW :)
