plus one for Specialized grips

Rocca's FTW! linky Pic slighty misleading, the metal locking bit goes inboard, and the black plastic endplug goes at the other (outboard) end.

Am I right in thinking CRC use RM air freight?

I like a bag of mixed nuts (unsalted) Walnuts, almonds, cashew, pistachio that kind of thing.

^^^^ what it should look like ^^^^

Hi Dan, I expect round and about now, you may have realized your school boy error :)

My son, and daughter have enjoyed using this[/url] very safely now
for the last two years. It's a big plus for them, to have a clear view ahead.

I also own a rear mounted seat (co-pilot limo) but have found it is very hard to have shared son and daughter moments (WOW look at that!!! etc..) when all they can clearly see is your arse.

The loct fits nicely on a FS bike too, with no frame knobbling clamps, it is, however, a bit dear…

Just remember who your passenger is and ride accordingly!

Myself, and the kids think its great :D

My recommendation has to be continental travel contacts. I have used them for years on my commute, and the Kevlar anti-puncture belt only let me down on one occasion. Great dual tread pattern for tarmac/tow-path use too.

Down with this sort of thing.

"Dúirt mé leat go raibh mé breoite"

I find both pairs of my Endura shorts (Zmyes and Singletracks) cut too tightly around the thigh, in-spite of the fact they are a very generous fit for me around the waist!
I am an "ahem" a larger gentleman with a "rugby player" build, fine if you are a whippet I suppose, but I can't personally recommend endura's for those with chunky legs!

So students everywhere will be panicking right now? :-) will they have to put a days moratorium in place for all papers due tomorrow?

+1 on the blackspire superpro's for service life, but they are a dear do.

The deore middle steel ring sounds like a plan, must try it myself….

My kneejerk reaction after reading the whole of this thread was to bin my subscription, the OP brought up issues which I believe were legitimate.

However 1, Mark has apologized and 2, The fact this thread is still open, demonstrates to me that STW is big enough to allow debate. Bravo! you've still got my subscription.

The question now :- is it appropriate to add "official Forum C&%k" to my sig?

I be drivin' mi Tractor…. 8)

Yes still working fine here, no problems. :D

Gab – Not sure how old you are, but as a kid over in Hessle, getting to see family and friends in Lincs was a serious mission until the bridge came in. It really kickstarted Hull again as a port too. Paying for itself, it isn't; useful, it is.

[rantmodeon] What really annoys me is having fiddle about with £1.20 every time I go across on the bike (the large one that goes vroom, that is) it was just about manageable when it was just a quid, but nooooooooo! some GENIUS thought it would be funny to make bikers have to bugger around with gloves and loose change. [/rantmodeoff]

Still it's never busy at the toll booths, more likely to see tumbleweed on the bridge than a traffic jam :-)

Mines bigger than yours :wink:

Don't get me wrong, as a piece of engineering it's awe inspiring.
However from the financial point of view, it doesn't make sense, and probably never will :roll:

"I could be wrong but I think he uses a lye bath to shift it"

lye or caustic soda would be ok on steel, but does eat into aluminium though 8O (just ask Malcom when he cleaned Ogri's bike with it)

I checked stock at my local branch, and reserved them online. Just got back from picking them up. 2 x folding Mud pro's for £15, hehe, exactly what I needed, deal of the day for me! Thanks thatscold. :D

yes look for "bolle contour" on ebay

There's goin' to be hell to pay when troutie sees the above pic :D

Got the five mode light, with UK charger here:-
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.30864
Took 5 weeks to arrive.
No problems with it so far, been using on the local trails quite a lot recently. Both button leds on back of the head operate, and the indicator on the charger goes from red to green etc… All works as advertised, :) well pleased for now.

Cadbury's goodness and

sadly the above is only in QR (reading the small print) :(

For some reason this springs to mind:- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_Elk :?

I'm sure this guy could help :- http://www.27bslash6.com/p2p2.html or not :twisted:

For primer, acid etch from a rattle can is fine (U-POL acid #8 is excellent). Painting the colour with Halfords tins however, should not be confused with proper 2K (or two-pack paint), 2k is MUCH tougher, and IMHO has a finish far better than any powder coat.

Two pack cons :- Best find a friendly/local auto paint shop, to apply the 2K, as it is extremely toxic if breathed in 8O

Brazil – 1985 Terry Gilliam somehow gets Robert De Niro at the pinnacle of his acting career, and then sticks him in a balaclava so he is unrecognisable for 95% of the movie.. genius :D

I'm sure http://www.justridingalong.com/shop.php?product=200 can do exactly what you want ie:- white flows on blue pro 2's if you are prepared to pay them for a custom build.

FSR xc '09:- not very niche, or trendy, but it did fit in our works CTW budget :D

I'm sure I've seen WTB advertising a "test fleet" of saddles, never tried it myself though, happy with my spoon on my FS, and my pure team on my HT.

oh here we go:-

+1 for the Charge Spoon (Ti in brown)
