    The only real feeling I felt making the change is that its easier too accelerate but you dont get quite the same torque.

    Just my opinion of course.

    A2z make a perfectly usable adaptor. 😉

    Plus a well setup pair of maguras will stop you as well as any disc brake.

    Most regret selling my 97 Zaskar. Properly specced. Cook bros cranks. Xtr mechs and cassette. Spin trispoke wheels. Pace rc36 etc.. especially because the fat chance I bought with the money really hurt my back too ride.

    Very closely followed by my c456. Though the sting is gone from that by my ti456.

    I got stopped and threatened with a knife by 4 guys when I was younger and riding on a bso. Naturally I gave it up.

    Someone tried too steal my Zaskar LE in school. Couldn’t work out the weird gearing I’d set up. Got it back when I tackled him off of it on the school field.(08 ish.. frame 94..). Kept locked away all day.

    +1 for cable crimps.. I keep losing them

    Do keep a box of frame cable clips though. Caught one popping off when I was building os I took them all off and ziptied.

    I didn’t spot the bottom cup..

    The top looks like some form of screw on.. IE for quill stem type.. How strange..

    But I was only looking at it for the Campag stuff. I have no interest at all in the frame.

    Damnit.. It’s worth £50 too someone who likes Campy road parts or needs some. (Like me!)

    Im 6’0 and had one as a courtesy car for a few days. Older one 04ish.. I put the seat as low as it went and had trouble with height. My head hitting the roof. Drove like a gem though.

    Has it got a coil shock?

    If so try tightening the screw on the shock for the spring holding.

    It worked on my v10.

    Go with 3 if you can mate. If you DL alot anyway.

    I use my phone for tethering on the One Plan.. I’ve used a genuine 176GB in a month before with no fee.. Plus with the Ultrafast phones you can get a stable file download (not internet usage) of 7+mb. My personal tethering speed is 12mb average without direct file downloads. Plus EE’s 4G and 3G plans don’t allow tethering, the “unlimited” internet is 1GB iirc.. Beyond that it’s something like £7 per GB.

    Knees are going. Alot of riding aswell as alot of other sports, gymnastics, rugby etc has caused that.

    Also my back. Pain all day every dsy no matter what. Again from the sports aswell as many accidents and incidents. Itd been factored like my knees into growing pains but I’m certain its not. Riding makes it worse, so I dont ride alot.

    Also if age is a factor. Im 19

    I went too Asda today and requested footage, they refused as it wasn’t immediate and the police don’t want too know as I’ve got no witnesses.

    Must admit I did get in my car and see where she parked and I was going too cut the valves from all of her tyres (I carry a tool kit in my car at all times incase it breaks.) but I thought better of a vandalism charge..

    As for the Mondeo thing.. I’ve done similar. As the Mondeo driver. Perfectly happy too sit and slow down while keeping safe if people are going too speed upto me and sit right on my bumper.

    I think its sad Baroness Thatcher has died.

    She wasn’t a bad pm by all accounts. Atleast good enough to get re-elected. Some people must like her.

    That roadie is pretty sweet!

    My bikes live all over the place. Some in the garage. 1-2 in the cellar. One in the thing between the house and garage.

    Had numerous frames in the bedroom and some groupset parts.. Mainly clean stuff though.

    Why eat early in the morning and then get hungry through the day when you can last until lunch/dinner perfectly fine.

    Metabolism. Either you’re under 25, one of those irritating people that has a metabolism that won’t quit, or fat. [/quote]

    I’m 19 😀

    But I think my Metabolism is high anyway..

    I don’t eat breakfast either. It makes sense too me.. Why eat early in the morning and then get hungry through the day when you can last until lunch/dinner perfectly fine.

    I think the last time I ate breakfast was around Christmas!

    I’m not sure you should spend 10k on a new bike.. you can get a 1 year old one for maybe half the price..

    Know of a import WRX STI registered as a standard 2.0T it’s a older model with a 01 interior, low miles and just had engine stripped and rebuilt by a Subaru specialist. Big loud thumper with a good turbo bolted on.

    If it doesn’t specify with RF that the warranty is valid only in certain places then assume it is.

    However I think personally that you can’t have differing warranties on the same product worldwide..

    Just consider that it’ll PROBABLY be original owner only.

    +1 for calling Cameron Forecourt about a rough cost.

    My other half has a relative who works for them. They dont mess about and do specialise in that kind of repair.

    I’ve been told by a few guys that the Orange 5 works well with a 140-160 fork.

    If you got a fork like a Fox Talas up front you can have 120-140-160. 😉

    My PS3 has had similar issues with the WiFi.

    I would suggest connecting with the PS3 as close as you can get it too the router and then moving it away from there after a few hours.

    I’ll be buying a Super F.

    Boxxer RC is the bottom end fork.

    I’ve ridden one, adjustments are basic but if you don’t mind changing every intricate little detail of it’s travel and stuff it’s a good fork.

    Pretty stiff but just flexy enough for it to feel right.

    Plus 2nd hand they’re £300ish on Pinkbike which is always a winner.

    Full face and gloves is the min I’d say. Eyewear too if poss.

    I’m riding Johns in a few weeks and I’m just wearing long sleeves and pants, gloves and a helmet. But I’ve got little in the way of protection.

    Also, yes it’s a 1.8 i4 motor.

    I was curious about if there was an actual physical store I could go into for one, like Halfords or something.

    It’s a petrol NA model. No power loss at all through the rev range.
