I’m in the same boat having used rims trips for the last year on my old hoops (old ones with dt swiss ex 5.1). I’ve been looking at flow ex and made a few posts about questions on here. The best tip i got was about tubeless ready spec tyres. Do a search on my login.

I’ll buy some in the next few weeks. They’ll be used here and the alps.

Digger90 – funny mine just did that. Does it clear if you put the machine on in steam mode, but turn both buttons on to make hot water not steam. it’s meant to prime the system.

Thanks, wasn’t sure if I needed sealant. Tubeless ready.. makes the mist a bit clearer.

I would recommend a gaggia brera @£300, it’s the only machine we have had at work that lasts, that includes machines @1.5k. The internals are similar to my gaggia classic I have at home. I work in an office @30 people and the previous gaggia titanium and several juras were terrible.

The brera we got off ebay from italy. Avoid milk containers and things that go wrong/smell.

Less is more we have found

nope

nope

get a runners world training plan, free to download e.g. 5/10k/half training plan. start slow but often. don’t start by running b*lls out for 50 mins and then assume it is your trainers that makes your knees hurt ;-)

thanks for your helpful replies.

You seem to be able to buy bb30 or gxp, no mention of pf30 / bb92 on the main seller’s web site, hmmm

thanks

if the hr2.4 are too big and heavy, stick with 60a hr1, much lighter.

5 spot?

@granny_ring what type are you fitting on your spot? I was considering doing the same.

Is apple not bringing out a new rival to dropbox, or was that google?

Got some totems on the glory. When new, the seals failed, replaced in Whistler under warranty and have been great since. A whole lotta fork…

I often see folks with loads of headset spacers under their stems, I’d suggest you ride them low.

mint, if a boarder…

Richie, thanks for the reply.

no answer so far :-(

cheers

the local trails, South Wales :(

Didn’t say I liked the FF, *spit* offered back ;-) was just a comparison

Liked the music, they (Kurt) was terrible on 2 of the 3 times I saw them. First he was smacked up, second was drunk, third was late and only did three songs.

I was younger then, so I was less irate. These days if you pay to see a band I want somet for my money. Being able to say I saw them three times to ‘grommets with kurt t-shirts born post 1990’ is all I can add. Fast forward to seeing the Foo fighters at the first t in the park, huge improvement in performance ;-)

Still like nevermind… where’s my docs and long hair gone?

Out of interest, as a 2005 spot owner, what's the new one like in comparison?

They've been great in the alps / whistler, even better than my juicy carbons.

(I use ss organics pads)

My old 5spot creaks if any of the main linkage bolts are not tight enough. Use a torque wrench to check. Once in a while I checked them.

Other sources of creaks, external bb, bash ring bolts and crank bolts. Usually a bit of grease and threadlock sort it out.

stick we the estate, like you I looked at the plus. Didn't seem as useful as the longer estate.

I ended up going passat estate (too big for my needs) > golf estate > octavia estate (not in your finance plan I guess)

Likewise, I went there a year ago just after it opened. I remember having some overpriced martinis in a very posh cocktail bar upstairs. Good as a one off. Good to go on your birthday and get someone else to pay ;-)

I can't access any bbc media/videos at the minute on my work laptop or macbook, but I can get the radio. I wonder if they are turned off due to high load on their site due to people checking weather. So might not be a real javascript error, try later.

Have a read of the rolling stone article the series came from too. I think the Wikipedia article links to it.

Octavia scout with all season tyres will be just grand. Make sure the tyres aren't stupidly wide also.

or as the previous guy said – the wildcat :p

tried clearing cache, tried a google suggestion of wget to lloydtsb. no joy. drats.

Clear browser cache?

If not, if you go to gmail down at the bottom you have a link 'details', maybe clicking that and logging out all sessions may help.

If that don't work? can you log in but click the shared computer link as you log in?

thanks guys, I was after an order or magnitude, or a guestimate.

TJ – I hear you…This is no substitute for proper professional advice.

Radial, that was it. It's not broken anything off, just fractured. I think that is non-displaced, I'm no expert – hence my request for advice ;-)

I rode my coil 09 totems in Whistler for four hours before I had to change the seals. Grrrr, they spewed oil like no-ones business. When I saw the old seals, they had been poorly fitted, that's all. I have since had them tf'd and they are grand. Great forks ;-)

I have a tf'd van r, fit and forget. It's really good.

For what it's worth here's my experiences. I used to run @10 years ago, back when I were a youngun in durham and I never had any ITBS, then after I starting biking and returning to running, whack I had ITBS. I suffered really badly for one marathon, then two great north runs.

I'm now ok. What's changed? I dropped my saddle, stopped wearing firm riding shoes, ride mostly in flats, moved my saddle further forward, so my knees are further forward. I have been told by several physio it's mostly caused by over development of one glute(sp) over the other. I think I needed to build up the poorer muscle, stretch more, that helped most. It may also mean your gait is slightly out and you will just learn to deal with it. I doubt how much the ice and physio work actually helped in the long run. They seemed very good at taking my cash though. Buy a good stretching book, I work with an ex physio who lends me one. Let me know if you want the title etc…

I used ss pads in Whistler, the organics were fine.

The current golf estate is really just a facelift on the old golf hatchback version (unless i'm wrong). There's a new version of the golf estate coming out soon-ish.

I would recommend an octavia estate as they are bigger, cheaper, wiser buy. They finally got the VAG common rail diesel versions. 1.6 for example.
