Soz it’s not a close-up. Ball-burnished Intense 5.5

Managing a National team and a League team are totally different. Loose the respect in the dressing room with a League team is bad as you see the players day in day out. With the National team the manager has loads of players to pick and choose from, hence that’s why I believe he failed. Jose played a good formation when he was there but things hav changed, players left. It’s not the same bunch anymore and they lack depth in the squad.
I feel sorry for Adams, his players let him down big time. I think he would have kept Pompey up – just but the owner had just had enough I guess.
As a Liverpool fan I’m sniggering a bit with the Chelsea situation. Certain teams (Chelsea/Spurs and especially Newcastle) seem to think they are huge clubs with lots of history etc. I’m afraid that has to be earned, over many many years. Spurs do have some but what’s happening with that joker Levy is laughable. Man Utd and Liverpool have got where they are because of hard work, great players and because good players want to play for them. Ah well lets see what happens at Cheatski – my guess is Frank Riykard – watch this space!

Just come down off the ceiling, Jesus that was close. Still thinks Rafa’s team selection is dodgy but we will see at the end of the season. Come on West Ham too!

Yes you can firestarter, it’s a cheap way of getting some white Ultimates. I’ve been looking and it’s looking like a purchase from the States. I doubt anyone would swap but might try that route first

Carbons are more powerful than Ultimates, I’ve had both sets and I’m still running Ultimates on my Yeti. I’m pretty certain that the Carbons come with a different compound but the feel is softer on the Ultimates and I prefer that. Excellent brakes and I’ve found them very reliable and I’ve ran Juicy 7’s and there derivatives since they came out.

Non at all for the last 5 weeks!!! Been ill. Now I’ve got Bronchitis so no riding for god knows how long. Totally and utterly brassed off.

I can recommend the Atacma range, I use one and it’s excellent. As for the turntable I use Oak Cone feet to isolate it on the glass. You can add extra shleves to them too so as you add bit’s and pieces you always have somewhere to put them. IMHO they are worth the extra.

Plenty of Buds and pop corn. Only I can’t drink cus of medication :( Come on the Cards – hate the Steelers – I’m a Cowboy fan you see lol

Didn’t care how much it weighed – it was such a great ride. Plush as hell and a very good bike :D

I ran my 5 Spot with 130mm Marzocchi’s but they were quite a tall fork. I found running 140mm the bike felt well balanced so why not run some Fox Floats at 140mm? They are quite light and are a very good fork.

Got one of these – TAG Link, only mines Chronometer Automatic and also a TAG SEL Chronograph too

Bought like that. It was an option on Intense frames. Not sure if they offer it anymore, but they do the “Works” finish which I don’t like. GT used to do a lot of Ball Burnished frames years ago. Look ace when all polished up but a bit of a pain if you want to keep it all nice and shiny

Had this a while ago, a Ball Burnished Intense 5.5

Well I would have been on £500,000 a week but my agents couldn’t agree any terms with a team called Manchester City I think. So I’m staying in Italy instead.

Bentley isn’t half the player he was at Blackburn. To me he as seen the lights of London and it’s gone to his head. Very poor signing. Ledley King should retire, he can’t play two games running. As for Bents miss at the weekend, Redknapp was right, his wife could have put that in. But looks like your bacons been saved!

No, I work for Goldtec. We made some 15mm QR adaptors as CK aren’t bringing any out for a while and we were making a new 15mm hub at the time. I’ve seen some posts on the forum pages asking about CK adaptors so I’ve told them contact BETD Goldtec as we have them ready and waiting for use

It is a Chris King thing, we found that out when we were making the 15mm QR adaptors for CK hubs. The standard CK hubs did seem to foul the Hope floaters when used on Fox forks(09 ones at least). The adaptors re-positioned the disc tabs so that they couldn’t foul and they work perfectly now. I know this is only relevent to the 15mm QR system but thought you might like to know.

I think they will win the big one. Arizona have more than exceeded themselves so hope it isn’t a blow out. I take it you were referring to the tackle on the Baltimore wide-receiver? That was one heck of a hit. Glad they are both ok. And people call it gay rugby – yeah right.

Goldtec make 15mm QR hubs which you can spec with any rim etc. Try their website.

CNC machinist at BETD Goldtec. Make lovely bike parts and other things too. Does have it’s perks :D
