today is going to be bad, superbowl tonight so will be dominos pizza.

Dirt King

Actually 4130soul, not ever bike will take his weight. If he were to buy a 6inch trial bike with a 2 inch stroke shock, running a dhx rc4 it wouldn't take his weight because there is not a hard enough spring to get the required sag.

But hey what do I know…… You should listen to soul and buy any bike you want.

TBH with a leverage ratio of 3:1 then I would stay away from air shocks

Yup, I'll be watching, should be a good un. Though I want colts to win since Vikings arn't there, stupid Farve…..

right, well I think if you can re-use some partw on your old bike, you could afford a nicolai. 3 grand would get you a frame, fork shock, headset seatpost and pleanty more, then just use you drive train wheels and brakes from your old bike untill you can afford new stuff.

Nicolai make really strong bikes, you won't notice any flex and it won't brake. (if it does, then they fix it pretty much with no problem)

ignore me, its a cracking bike for the little money its going to cost you

Well http://howtoloose11st.blogspot.com/2010/02/another-week-another.html

Weigh in tomorrow, I'm not feeling confident.

mikey74 thats my alpine flashheart posted. its nice bike, was slightly to small so sold it and got a prince albert instead

I have one word to say:

Thompson

I'd choose hope tech v2s with the vented discs, I'm hevier then 2 normal people and they stop me great

90mm

They are warrentied to 140, I have 150 2010 revs, with a 10mm travel reducer fitted

18bikes?

Nope, deffinatly not wrong.

wk 1 – 183.7kg
wk 2 – 180.2kg

It was 177.6 kg after I had been to the gym, but that was unfair

Ok guys so to help me along the way I've started a blog. If some of you want to follow it it would be good. [/url]

nice, just thinking about doing a 20 week beginners course at the local adult education centre, not to expensive and seems worth a punt

yes please

I'm going to go to the hospital and see if they have any elephant scales. If not i'll go to the zoo

Mudshark, my sister has just passed her test, and is now driving my old focus estate. she seems to be ok with the size as its easier to park then the hatch because the rear screen is the back of the car. If your worried, just get her two lessons with the aa because they use focuses.

The green is wrong on the hopes. however I don't want the hopes on my normal bike, as the pro11 sound bugs the **** out of me.

GW, I won't be riding dh on them, these are going to be my lkightweight wheel set. However your are right, as (nearly 😉 ) always.

18.5 st doesn't quite cover me. 🙄

And I can't take you seriously gw since you reccomended 5.1 😆 However I don't see why it would be a problem, why won't you touch them, I might get ck wheels from america, however the f and r hubs don't match and that bugs me

yeah if i do get the straight pull i'll buy 1/2 a wheels worth of spare spokes. the spokes are expensive to

That i have not decided, I want the quick engaugement, however the straight pull spokes do look nice

you need a nicolai road bike

gervaise phinn – head over heals in teh dales, very very very funny

I waited 10 months for my Nicolai! And it was worth the wait.

10 months, mine was only 3, just about to order my 3rd so we will see how long that takes.

I need to find some scales which will actually weigh me!!! Might go to the zoo! I'm starting on friday after just coming back from my holiday

Yes there is a massive differece, I have 729s on one bike which are about 600-700g each the 819s on another which are about 460, the difference is quite noticable. however a 819 built well shohuld be strong enough, I have not bent one and I weigh in excess of 164kg

well got back froom egypt yesterday, so heading to the gym tomorrow for my first official weigh in so ill find out where i stand tomorrow, though thanks to finishing uni, moving, and starting my career i've let my exercise go to pot, so now i am the heaviest and most unfot i have ever been. only up from here

i'll bring my whip

me, i've just come back from 2 weeks in egypt though, lovely weather out there, 30 degrees.

by the way i run a helius st, in 160mm travel mode a dhx rc4 with a 700lb spring and some 888 world cup air forks. put up with 2 weeks in the als and lots of other rubbish without moaning at all

ok i'm up for that, snowdon twice in a week, as i'm doing it the weekend after too.

big pete, 26 actually

I'm up for a bigg lads push up up snowdon, though i'll make you all look small. Ill bring my nicolai too

18Bikes, why don't you have the main prise for the biggest loser their choice of any bike at trade price if your suppliers don't go for it. That means we save lots but it cost you nothing

i'm starting to lose my hair
