    Sam Pilgrim rides them so why would all the 16 year olds not want one too?

    I once got pulled aside for further bag checks due to a strange object on the scanner.

    They looked worried when I said I packed it myself and  could not offer an explenation as to what they were seeing/describing.

    Open the bag and it was a pack of waffles stuck to a granola bar and my phone was resting on top.

    To be fair it did look like some kind of weird device when they pulled up the image for me to see.

    Mine is on all the time purely because I have pets so keep it at a comfy 21 degrees.

    Before they were purchased I only had it come on in the mornings and evenings, about 2 hours before I came home from work or woke up.

    I would regard XC as a bike with 100mm forks a long seat post and a rider wearing Lycra aboard said bike. They are the guys most likely to religiously check the weight of every component and stress over the strength to weight ratio conundrum on every new cross country wheelset that gets released. Oh and XC is more about climbing and speed, so kind of the roadies of the dirt world.

    Ask the local museum see if they want it.

    Sounds strange but I know our local museum is lacking what we probably consider newer stuff in their collections like early 2000’s clothing and tech and are actually wanting this stuff to store for future exhibitions.

    Got my one implant done in Berlin, I went to a University Hospital and got it done by a Dental tutor. It just meant that student dentists got to take a look and do some of the prep work, take photos etc. But it also meant it only cost me about 1800 euros.

    These students are in their final year so they are going to be let loose into the world of dentistry within a few months so I was not worried about them working on my teeth. They got their credit and I got some dental work that is way better than aything I could have got in the U.K.

    Worst that can happen is the bids go up and up and it goes for crazy money.

    And you are the winning bidder.

    I echo the above, I have the trail sports set and love them, so much so I got some MT5’s for the hardtail. Another great feature that has not been mentioned is the magnetic pad retention system, it means that for the first time ever I have not had to carefully adjust the calipers on a brake set so they dont rub. You just fit and forget and the brakes are fantastic.

    It can be a full time job, must be for a large consumer company?

    Yeah, it was an agency so I looked after multiple accounts for businesses who wanted to outsource the process.

    It used to be my primary job role for a few years but since I left the position about two years ago the layout has changed a lot, if the general principal is the same I may be able to help though. Like MOAB says depends what you want to know.

    I used to work for a company called Moviepilot in Berlin so got to attend the annual film festival Berlinale.

    Met a lot of Hollywood people

    Ethan Hawke is quite ugly in real life.

    Matt Damon was really nice

    Grace Jones comes across as a nutter.

    And my claim to fame is that I am one of the probably 100s of voices chanting in the stadium when Bane steps onto the football pitch in the dark night rises. I had to do the chant over the phone and I felt weird doing it so they better have used it.

    Are Diamondbacks so not the best brand out there but they are 15″ and carbon and most importantly very cheap.

    The time I made pancakes and wanted to put a little cinnamon on them, instead I grabbed ground nutmeg, being the same colour and not knowing I had any, and the top fell off coating them in it. Fine I thought I will just brush the excess off, and then I took a bite, always checked the bottle after that.

    I have had a Hope with adaptor which worked well but the praxis one i have has been flawless and was very well priced around £30.

    My rats don’t set mine off, it might be a different story if they are loose around the house but just generally hanging out in the cage they don’t.

    Oh and you will probably find a hole in that tea towel later, they love to turn fabrics into bedding material.

    Peatys sealant was absolutely useless for me, washed it out with a hose pipe.

    Stuck some Orange seal in and has been fine, I really think it also depends on the tyre and wheel combo just as much as the sealant.

    I was using the urinals at sherwood pines and from one of the toilet stalls I hear a kid say “that’s a big willy daddy” and repeated it about three times trying to get the attention of the dad,  until the dad said come on lets go wash our hands.

    Completely ignoring the statement and equally trying to change the subject.

    No seatpost = no refund, why should you be out of pocket and without the original item?

    I am having similar issues with a guy who bought a Rear mech and shifter off me on Pinkbike.

    He is in Denmark and postage has been about ten days now and still no got there he admitted something from Germany took 3 weeks.

    He is pestering me constantly for updates which he has access too since I gave him the code, now he says it was for his wifes bike and he wanted it finished by the end of next week, so is there any way of cancelling it and getting a refund.

    Erm no since it is literally somewhere between the UK and Denmark and he got them for a great price, maybe if he wanted them quicker he should not have ordered from someone in the UK.

    These people seem to think pinkbike classifieds is like buying from a shop, you get all the benefits of returns, gurantees etc but is way cheaper.

    Bought a Giant Faith BITD when freeriding and hucking was the thing to do.

    Never saw a drop off in the three years I had it, it was a great bike thoough really plush like riding a settee everywhere.

    I am pretty sure Di2 stuff will sit in a warehouse over winter which are usually about as cold if not colder than your average garage/shed.

    I f they could not withstand a bit of cold then they would not be able to sell them.

    Could his wife be having an affair with the scrap man?

    Here he is trying to bait the guy into a confrontation and he has to fend off every other man and his dog from taking off with said bait. No wonder he is annoyed.

    I had this before, turns out he guy lives in a flat and one of his neighbours signed for it and did not tell him. I sent him the signature proof that was on the Royal mail website and he apologised and knew who it was who took delivery of it immediately.

    Write scrapman on 2 pieces of cardboard and fix it to your car. Put on a baseball cap and a fake moustache and go pick it up. Fred will be none the wiser and you can even scour the rest of the village for unwanted stuff.

    I have the Rift Zone 3 fantastic bike that I had no intention of buying when I did a demo ride for work with Marin. I fell for it hard and bought one a week later.

    I thnk you are confusing not able to get a box with can’t be bothered to box a bike up.

    We have all done it, think it will be a 15 minute job but usually takes around 30 mins plus without the 400 metres of tape, raiding the cupboards for packing material and getting the tools out to remove rear mechs, pedals etc.

    So I can kind of see why they can’t be bothered.

    In regards to the emergency contraception thing.

    If they managed to get themselves in the situation to need it, then they should be mature enough to deal with asking for it from a male.

    I remember, but like I say it was a choice between the telephone or the internet. I was limited to 1 hour a night as a kid incase someone was trying to ring us.

    Of course my sister wasted 30 mins of that hour on MSN chat.
