    I find they size up well too so I’m a size 9 but step wider and have gone fir a sey of 10UKs

    They are super stiff which is ok but mine are the vxi version which are flat on the one part of sole.

    I think I like them but prefer the ankle high tops that the impact hi versions had.

    They look funky too the freerider vxis too.

    And are probsbly better weatherproof wise than my old impacts.
    Plus my bro bought them for me at £45 new

    Imo I’d go for a set of RaceFace Atlas or Turbines with a Narrow Wide single ring mated to a Shimano BB to keep it alive n kicking and keep costs down.

    Sure they are the same price as 6 though.

    But the 6S has the super duper camera as standard now amongst other features iirc.

    Are these the white flow rims as if they are, be careful when lacing and pinching up nipples.

    The paint causes some problems that are time consuming when building up.

    Plus my ones frim merlin came with some paint rub marks and fairy dust all over.

    Still not as bad as broken brake clamps from them.

    Everytime I buy from merlin they always have an issue with each part.

    Shane as they are super quick on delivery and seem to dona good deal.

    Those mummies that *really* boil my piss are the ones that are stood right by the zebra crossing outside school after they have dropped their darlings off and when you stop to let them cross you realise they are just having a chat and not wanting to cross at all. Stand somewhere else ****!

    + 1 this happened today on my way to work and getting bus back people who sneeze without covering their god damn mouths/noses and continue as if it’s their gid given to spread their shitty diseases.

    Makes me livid and gets to point of just turning round to give them a massive dirty eyeballing if they say anything then it’ll kick off.

    Dirty bastads

    No wayyyy I was thinking idily about this today when battling thru town walking to bus stop and people jumping cues at shops.

    I find it’s usually the super dooper ” important folk ” eith money and should know better but then that’s just my belief.

    Suppose the rich rude folk havent got to where they are today by being polite!

    I woukd generally in your situation on the tube do a massive guff and that should, just should see them wiped to the ground where you can use them as steps.

    Whatever yiu decide on both Otterbox and Spigen charge you before sending and then do not botger sending followed up by emails stating sent from Europe so please be patient.

    Nahhhh I’ve waited 3 1/2 weeks sod that give me my money back.

    Otterbox were shocking to say the least as they would not refund on that basis so when it turned up out of the blue, I decided to try it and yeah not bad product.

    I would go Griffin all the way as long as they have sorted out their mic cover voice calling issues.

    Spigen were just cheap tat looking but wanted a charging case just to see how good it might be.
    They failed which was ironic as they would have had my custom due to those shisters Otterbox!

    @ drover, have you sold any yet?

    How much for the foundation model in green and is their leeway on pricing?
    I might be in touch sometime when funds allow or a miracle.

    I’m pretty sure coil shocks work best on single pivots having tried someones old single.
    A fox air shock would blow thru try volume reducers first to set the spring correctly.

    If and only if you can afford and want to stay with air get a ccdb air as anyone will tell you for improving bob on singles.

    If you see my history I have tried selling the wrong bb for pennies compared to rrp that I near enough paid anyway.

    I’m with wwaswas on this.

    Dunno where wonen part came into it tbh.
    I somehow believe men suffer because of work struggles but wouldn’t go to blame women for that out of an equality viewpoint.

    There are just so many factors involved in mh issues and outcomes/circumstances.

    It would be silly to blame just one area of life as a trigger for mh breakdown.

    Yes who said that.

    To the op the programme does get more insightful and is a great credit to the Stephens image.

    I had a near miss moment of suicidal action early this year to the extent a family member made contact with a crisis team.
    Since then I have quit my work, looking at other options in the pipeline and in entering a new relationship which was much needed.

    I am looking forward to niece and unborn nephew to grow up whilst I am around and to look for new opps and enjoy life more.

    Change does happen even if it’s baby steps from the darkness out into the light.
    Lord knows I’ve been threw the dirty stuff but just dust off over time and get up and rocking again.
    I still have heavy trauma weighing on my mind, so much so that I feel prof green’s words of getting them off your chest before reaching a certain age will determine a great weight lifted off my shoulders.

    We’ll see.
    Apart from that I am 😀 at the moment and trying to live in the present.

    It may be for the small fact it’s a Commencal but that’s just a slight guess as commencals were never really favoured much at all.

    Plus this thread should be deleted.

    Yeah I was a bit miffed when my new ti frame suppose to be 14 my arrived but arrived in a timewarp as a 12 my frame.

    They refunded me £50 but still left feeling gutted as the model I dhould have received came with a ti headtube badge (the main reason I chosethe frame lol).

    Then once built up I noticed a slight imperfection on derailleur hanger like a burrr under hanger, not misaligned mind I hope. LUCKY I’m running it ss so all good.

    Then a ceramic bb I purchased on their say so that it would fit my supposedly new frame did not.
    They refused to send out like for like as too costly gor them to do so.

    Feeling really miffed at this point after ordering a lot of ££££ in 2 seperate orders same day from them.
    They fid however send me £41.99 the cost I had to pay my lbs for the correct bb but now left with an expensive bb30 ceramic bb that I have no use for.

    To top it off they hound my inbox every second of every day.

    So if Wiggle are reading this, please DO ONE with the emails. Not sure tgeir unsubscribe works effectively.

    Mis advertised goods but felt it was the frame I wanted for a while so didn’t kick up a fuss.
