    A mate used this guy http://www.theseatpostman.com/ to get a properly seized post out of his frame. Speaks highly of the service.

    x 2

    Great service and rescued both the frame and the seat post, now working together as good as new.

    I’d have to ask.
    Why wasn’t it locked on to the roof bars.
    And if it was what shite roof bar/lock was it?
    Another simple cheap lock through the rear wheel and frame would have bought him more time as the scrotes didn’t look to be tooled up

    How do you find the spread of light with the SixPack JohnClimber?

    Perfect for my XC riding, and I do have a Troutie spider eye’s on my helmet.

    Lunem Liberator fan here, but Exposure’s SixPack is brighter with more settings for a longer or brighter light output.
    Sorry Troutie

    Yates in 2nd place in the Tour.

    Cav has won 3 already and Steve Cummings winning the other day.

    Agree’ed, buy it now and take the boys in blue (when they can be bothered)

    If it’s a boy, make sure he mixes with other friendly male dogs in his first year.
    Ours can be a bit snappy with other boy dogs now he’s a grumpy 9 years old, but he’s a hell of a tart with girl dogs.

    Six moon’s Lunar Solo here as well.
    Once you suss out the correct way to pitch it it’s perfect.
    Packs tiny using a Bear Bones carbon pole weighs in at next to nothing and has room to sit up in it as well as having a good porch.

    Jones titanium 3d spaceframe
    From the Merlin USA made batch with the bend in the seatpost tube which Jeff couldn’t do in his shed and as he said it was his ultimate bike.
    It has a Fat forked and has a 4″ fat front option as well as a 29er running 35mm rims front and back.
    Plus I’ve Rohloff’ed it but I have got a single speed rear wheel if I fancy going back to those days.

    Border Terrier here.
    Doesn’t need much striping so I do it myself.
    But don’t believe what you read.
    Border Terriers leave their hair all over your house, made sure you have wooden floors or a really good vacuum.
    They are more than worth this little bit of hassle as they are one he’ll of a great dog.
    Boys may fight (little man syndrome) girls don’t normally so I’ve found

    52mm Hugo rims on my Travers 29er+ tubless with Knards are perfect for me but I’m just over 12 stone and about a foot shorter than you Tony.
    Just fitted it with a Lauf Carbonara for a bit of extra comfort in my old age

    I wish I’d bought that bit from Bike24 last night it’s gone up by £20 this morning and my forks will have gone up by even more.
    £50+ poorer already

    48 years young here, in December 2015 I moved the same direction downwards in salary.
    Now I’m home every night, after 21 years of hotels throughout the week.
    Yes the salary is lower but so is the tax I pay, so what looked like a big drop on paper wasn’t that bad in reality.

    I love my new job, it’s the best one I’ve had in 15 years.

    In your new job just don’t look at XT upgrades when Deore is almost as good.

    Enjoy your life again and get your notice in

    I was IN until I watched and listened carefully to this.

    Not a fad to me.
    Got my first one the original Salsa Mukluk 7 years ago and it’s still going strong with the mate I sold it to.
    My current fat bike is the 5″ Travers Bat Fastard and it’s my go to bike most of the time.
    Just upgraded the tyres for the summer and gone tubless for the first time.
    I’m finding it hard not to take this to Saturday’s Sam Houghton Challenge

    It’s a challenge against yourself not a race.
    Not sure on the camping as I’ll be heading to the hills for a bike bivi afterwards but will need to know about the car parking situation before hand.
