May the fourth be with you, then.

Ah, hadn’t seen that Ollie! Cheers!

join this lot, or come for a thursday night ride.

too late for that i think. My favourite bikes where my old steel cindercone and caldera in the late 90’s. Wonder if i can get hold of a cheap 2+2 though, they look luvvverly…

why dont you see if anyone in your area is involved in the Get-On scheme? its basicly a CBT lite to introduce you to riding a bike before commiting to the expense of full CBT. Its free and is an hour. When my school runs them we normaly extend it a little bit, time allowing, to cover some of the more interesting stuff. At the end of it you know if its for you or not.

Last time i drove a starship, this happened!

used to be a tree surgeon, now a motorcycle instructor.

cheers all, i’ll go with clubber and mary in the short term, come pay day I’ll replace them…they are getting a bit old.

Im with the OP, the banana loaf is pure awesomesauce.

my last pair lasted three years.

My school had one on loan ( ’10 ) and it was a lovely bike, comfy and the position good for town work. I found it a little gutless for motorway work, like it ran out of steam around 90. If you’re budget runs to it, try an 800gs…

I find a bell pretty invaluable on a busy southdowns sunday, having said that though, the amount of deaf/inconsiderate/ipod wearing people seems to be on the rise. My pro2 hub does a good job too, folk seem to think angry swarm of wasps is approaching.

that was just what I needed on a dark monday morning, nice one ton.

telling them you dont speak English usually buys you enough time to scarper…

the past two years its fallen on my youngest sons birthday, finghers crossed i’ll make it this year!

Saw Corrosion of Conformity in the Concorde 2 in Brighton around 2006

I was at that gig, it was awesome, especialy the instrumental/jam session thing near the end.

Most recently it was Faithless at the o2 in december, didn know much about them and not a dance music fan but wow, absoloutley incredible; so much energy from the band and crowd. Definatley going to go again if the opportunity arises.

when I lived there I used barretto’s, which is the bike cellar now; dont what they’re like now unfortunatley. They’re next to the fire station on plymstock broadway.

No problems with them what so ever in the 5 years or so we’ve had them, reliably fast where I live.

High poster all the way here…

ooo, nice one.

two hours in the snow as it fell in Stanmer park, Brighton. The heavy snow fall made it feel really magical.

I’m in I reckon.

Did you hear about the Irish jelly fish?

It set.

*bump*

Has the original file been moved or deleted? I had the imperial march as mine but accidentally binned it. It shoes up on iTunes but not on the phone. The only reason I can think of is because the file is missing.

excellent stuff…

Nothing, for bit. Then I guess they’d run out of fuel and just stop…

Unless the zombies managed to do something daft to something important.

Contacts has revolutionised my riding, join us; we have seen the way! ( pun intended )

Tori Amos and Marina and the Diamonds here.

It’s probably got more chance of going ahead if it’s snowing!

ooooh, is that Unicron? Awesome…

are you saying we’re immature ollie? I’ll get hobbz to crash into your wheels again for that :wink:

Another vote for Brighton mtb and the muddy @rsers, both very friendly, although the M@ would be more suitable for newcomer to mtb’ing. I live next to hove park so I’m quite happy to show you some local goodies. I plan on being at spooky’s ride aswell.

Chain tension should be so tight you cant pull it away from the bar.

thats too tight and you’ll risk warping or damaging your bar.

Sounds like a blunt saw and maybe your pinching it a little when you’re cutting? Dont forget to look after your bar too – take it off and file any burrs off the top and sides.

you should have got some files, give it a sharpen and again, dont forget to file the dogs down. ( the little bits infront of the cutting edge ) if they’re too small/big they can affect the cutting.

if all the above is fine, maybe its as suggested and something is blocked somewheres?

Stanmer by night ( wednesday evening when it still fresh )

best ride all year. The sepia light in the woods was bright enough to leave the lights off in some parts.

The obligatory bike shot:

The trip home along the A27 was ” interesting “. The amount of mercedes’ we saw stuck was bonkers.

15 miles or so around findon valley in sussex. My beard froze, then my transmission did likewise…

good ride!

-5 in brighton next sunday, heavy snow the week after that! w00t!
