Car – Air Mass Sensor has gone so it's running like a bag of shit

Raining here too – but I'm out riding tomorrow and Monday

Missus – is at work so just doing usual household stuff

So all in all quite bored.

Mine was one of the first in the UK but I think the proper Team colours that are available now are much better than the older ones.

The Yeti 575 is a very very nice bike and the size you've picked will be fine. They do come up large for the stated sizes as I had a medium and could have got away with a small really. They handle well, have really good geometry (means relaxed) and is a proper all-day bike that will tackle most stuff with aplomb. I had a Turner 5 Spot and Intense 5.5 and hoped the 575 was the bike that had the best bits of those two fine bikes and all in a single package but it wasn't. That said it's a very good bike that won't disappoint you. I'm back to riding a 5 Spot, an old HL model which I find is a slightly better UK trail bike – at least in my opinion. The Orange 5 is just as good and it all comes down to which you like the look of.

Have you got to have travel-adjust? I've had Talas RLC's before, my last set being 08 ones and my 09 Float RLC's are much much better but are just 140mm travel. The Floats are se sweet and much smoother having no stiction issues which I believe the Talas suffer from maybe due to the travel-adjust system. I'm currently trying some Talas FIT RLC's on a Mojo Ibis SL so I'll see how they go after a few rides but as they are brand new they'll need a few miles running in as well. Here goes then :-)

My eyes are green – I've got start saving for the frame first! Maybe I can get one as some sort of pay deal pmsl. I like the white frames but I also love the raw carbon ones.

Going take on board all the comments about taking action against him and I'll contact the CTC and seek advise off him. I'm lucky as all I got was bump on the arm but I truly belive that was down to me having a sixth-sense knowing he was coming at me and sort of staying loose on the bike. I promise you all I won't let it drop and I think his mistake was thinking that a silly cyclist wouldn't catch his number plate. I live right near the area he works so I would have been round there today but luckily the Police got there first.

I'm in Newcastle Under Lyme. The idea of contacting a newspapers good but I'd rather it be a proper news story with a result of him getting what he deserves. I'll keep you informed of what happens.

You've got to prove something like that Kimbers but he obviously tried to intimidate or cause injury/damage to me or my bike. There was no cars coming the other way so he didn't have to swerve to avoid them as he came past me. Just a case of road rage I guess but I hope some form of justice is done in the end.

Station wagon – 4×4 – pick-up they're all the same to a BMW driver lol.

I think because I got his number and the PNC check showed the car as being dodgy, they've got something positive to nab him for. I'm hoping now he'll get done for the offence against me, especially as I've got a witness plus he's knackered for the car and no details. Wasn't nice and I hate to think how it could have ended if he hit me harder.

I've seen a really really nice orangey/red one and is probably the colour I'd go for when mine needs doing. Some of these speckled colours are cool – Ellsworth do some nice ones.

Never mind Manure United PMSL!!!!!!!!!!

Yip, was a bit dull until Jorge reeled Danny in and passing Vali in the process too. The Moto GP2 race was superb – the top 20 qualifiers within 1 second!! That class is going to be like that all season and will produce even more excitement too.
Good to see Bradley get 4th if only because of others falling off in front. Lets hope he picks it up even more for the next few races.

I asked the mods a while back and they said they would look into it. I use it on another forum and it's brilliant. Wish they would hurry up and do it here.

I think they are exactly the same as normal Juicy's as it's basically what the actual caliper is made of that's the big difference and obviously the levers. Give CRC a call and ask them as they have loads of spares too. Mine don't appear any different to the Carbons and 7's I used to run.

Jesus one F1 race that has some excitement and you start on about Moto GP – what a laugh. Take the rain out of it and it would have been a dull race again.

They're 26" wheels lol. It's a cobbled together bike with quite old parts. He's just bulled the ad up that's all and no one in their right mind is going spend a lot on it anyway. I didn't know they did yellow ASR's in 2008 which is the only thing that bothers me.

I'm a lefty!!! Won't be cheering for Mickleson though lol.

Brilliant racing and that pass by Lorenzo was amazing. F1? is total shitte compared to that.

Come on Casey!!!!! I don't mind really – just want see a good race.

Because it doesn't say Yeti/Intense/Cove/Turner/Orange/Specialized/Santa Cruz etc etc on the side lol

Ronaldo, the Brazilian – not that diving cheating giraffe necked Portugesse twunt has a missus who holds (held) the world record for keep-em ups so she's more skillfull than that cheating, drug taking gun totting dog-attacked my face Mara frigging dona!!!!!!! How can any English man stick him up there!!! Grrrrrr makes my blood boil :mrgreen:

If ANYONE says Mara "bloody cheating scum bag drug crazed prat" dona they want flaming!!!!!!!!!! Not fit clean Pele's boots or George Best or Gordon Banks. Cheating Argie scumbag.

It'll be fine. I ran some Pace RC41's and then some Talas that were 130's and no problems at all.

Cheers matey but I doubt they ever will. I've been judged by her and my honest, truthfull side of the story will not be listened too even though my family know it all and played their part in making it worse. I don't want die for her to feel sad when I'm gone, because when them pearly gates call that's it and if she wants say something then it will be too late.

My circumstances are the reverse, my duaghter doesn't want see me even though it's her mum who has caused the rift between us, fuelled by my own parents. My sisters all back me up but my daughter won't have any of it and so I've not seen her for years now and it's hurts like hell. I've spoken to her, she's been to my house but she will not build any bridges and I'm not trying do it to clear my conscience, as I see it as we're only here once so why carry bad shit with you when you die. It's bad also for my kids who live with me as they have a sister who wants to stay out of their lives yet they've done nothing, even if she wants blame me. It upset my two kids for a while but I think they're getting used to the fact she will never be a part of their lives. Sad isn't it.

I mainly went for black as in Tune hubs with Avid Ultimates and Rasta CK headset. The problem is always matching one components colour anodizing against someone elses and that's where you find they don't match – hence the black choices for some parts. The white forks work well with the black and red parts too.

Using this

Listening with this

Chealwatches!!!!!! Don't go anywhere else!!!! Visist their website and have a buthcers. They are very very good and I use them all the time after a recommendation from someone I know who deals in TAG watches.

Your lucky!!! I've split up with my girlfriend and it's like being in Fatal Attraction!!!! Threatening calls, visits, my kids not sleeping wondering what she's going do, she leaves her kids alone at home to come mine – it's a nightmare!! I've blocked her texts, she hasn't rung the home phone yet but I can sort that but it's just crap! All because she doesn't like someone I text – yes it's a female but she's a friend – end of – nothing more at all. And I've known my friend longer than my ex! Worst thing is I live too close, I wish I lived further away as she doesn't have a car. I do and I'm worried she will attack that as well! Think I better get it garaged for a while. I wish I could laugh but I can't.

Lol we can tell he's a big chap but big bikes ALWAYS look like gates. That seat angle exagerates it massively – if it was anymore relaxed it would be called a bed! Marmite bike – and I've never liked them.

It's a film, it's entertainment and there are those out there that will believe it's exactly like that. If it had been made exactly how it was, it would be a documentary and the paying public wouldn't have watched it and the mongs who vote for the Oscar crap wouldn't have understood it. They still think John Wayne won the West pmsl

Jesus, your almost sitting over the back wheel on that Maverick!!!! Bet it wheelies well lol.

Good – but that's what you should have done in the first place – as soon as your pictures that you paid for didn't show up! Hope you sort it out anyway.

If that's the case and you say your listing showed it had a reserve then refer it to eBay as they NEED to be made aware and ask them for a refund! They will contact the buyer and explain what's happened then you have NO NEED to close your account. I'm sure eBay will have a record of what you've actually done. I would be banging on eBay's door if that happened but I suspect all is not what it seems………………..

Before you list anything, you can preview the listing. Even if you set a schedueled start you can still edit, check and change what you've put – what it boils down to is you've balls'ed up! If I was the buyer I'd be less than happy and I'm sure if the shoe was on the other foot, you'd be screaming at the seller. Do whatever thinks best for you – end of. Your cock up – you deal with it but make sure you learn from it. Simples.

Tom, then if when you listed it and it didn't look right you should have cancelled the listing! I'm sure you know exactly what a listing looks like when it has a reserve on it! I think you've taken a gamble and it's not come off, when you list anything it tells you waht the listing fee is and if you set a reserve your fee will take that into consideration. As soon as anyone bid, even a low amount it would always say "Reserve Not Met" and surely you've been watching it as the auction has been going on! You should have asked on this site way way before it ended and then you would have sorted this out before you dug a big hole for yourself.
I guess you don't want sell the bike, which is wrong for you to do now as it's your mistake but you have the option of declinig, taking the negative feedback or deleting your ebay account. Not good and I hope you learn from it.

There's no reserve set????? You've stated you put a reserve on it but where's that written on the listing?

If you've put a reserve on it and it failed to reach that, then you do NOT have to sell it – as long as the lsiting states in the bidding/price box. If you've written it in the listing then I'm afraid you've shot yourself in the foot. Show us the link to the listing if you can.
