GNARGNAR second after chuck norris apparently

No

for this respect, the switchblade was an amazing lid.
Not a full face, but for “engaged XC/enduro” (read mtb with plenty of rocks) it was just great.

What bread maker though??

There are for roadies real men use their hands 😉

“You dont ride in the kerb you are a bad cycilst”…
It’s very hard to get me speechless… This one did

Give it a try as said buy a nice frame with amech hanger and convert it as single speed.

Mine will have to get back to geared now as I live in a very very hilly region of the world 🙁 and I know I will miss it a lot.

STW poster in no knowledge of foreign language shocker 😉

that

There is something amazing in the simplicity of such minimalism

Last time I was passing through Lyon it looked like a hole

That is probably due to the fact that the town is right at the bottom of a couple of valleys 😉

yeah yeah yeah
picture are rubbish I know but that is because I rather spend my money on fish than DC 😉 so phone will have to do.
Jojo is indeed a very clever fish she keep saying her own name 😉
strato it’s pond water so no octapus 🙁 mind you I am sure the fecker will eat jojo claire and all
I was looking for a bubble eye but could find any 🙁

A fixy cyclocross down fort william and beat Sam Hill.

One handed…

Why rudeboy’s answer is not a surprise 😉

What about the “newspaper never lies you defend earlier 😉 ”

what traildog says. Art is a bit like culture. There is no purpose to any of them, so basically it can be anything.
Is it meant to shock? To makes you react? To show the labour of the artist? Is banksy art? Is it not? Is engineering art too?
Is physics and math culture?

See you can’t really have a straight answer to any of this question. To summarise you can say that anything that is related to the creation/creativity is art, whether it’s during the making or during the exhibition.

does anti-bacterial stuff kill viruses then?

Depends on the antibacteria stuff.
Bleach will work for both for example.

Dezb we can swap places anytime you want

while I have you around my elbow peter have you talk to mrs poddy about coming down with the motorbikes?

Peter probably offering her a ticket to the BBB 😉

WCA redundancy
good news: maybe I’ll get to see a schedule of the BBB very soon
Bad news: He still hasn’t sold his car and buy something normal.

jimmer 20 kg is heavy. With a 15/16 kg bike you can still do an epic ride and have some fun on DH days.
I use to have 2 pair of wheels for my switch. A light one I kepts for epics on saturndays, and an heavy pair, pushing the weight of the biek to 17.5 kg perfect for one hour climbs and uplift days.
As other have confirmed, makes sure you know what you want to do with you bike, it’s easy to get hook up my marketing niche.
As said gnar ganr can probably go down fort william on is fully rigid carbon bikes faster than steve peat does, but that does not apply to mere mortals. And I concurs the stinky is a very good bike that would be able to handle DH day without problems.

what is wrong with the stinky

Yes I kick ass at baking brownies… Baking is the topic of this thread isn’t it?

people know me as the brownie master

you will need a shocked pump.
Give a ring to windwave they may be able to help you

It’s like everything though, she needs to go out and try loads on.

Oh I do understand some things better now 🙁

yum yum very good bikes…

Ash If i can escape from family duties yes
that would be good…
anyway YGM

Red on sospel pah that’s for the kids 😉 ash.
Are you around friday? It’s bank holiday do you fancy a ride but you’ll have to be gentle with me it will be my firrst ride in France since I am back (well save the usual mont chauve on the SS).

you rock dude 😀

bloody northener 😉

Juan, you once had a coffee at Waterloo station. You are hardly qualified to comment.

Really,
Well I stayed with a girl 6 month in london during which we went to various place around town. Then I went during week end on regular basis to meet people, to vote or on conferences, and each time I tried to go and have lunch somewhere new.
Then my mu and my brother went to london on holiday and same, very expensive and fairly average. So I did get more than one coffee in waterloo once…

But, I wear lycra, and have a bottle cage on my bike! [;)]

You’ve spend too much time in France 😉

Oh, she also mentioned that the French tend to get and carry their bikes on the more technical descents!

I would disagree with that 😉 I usually cary mine on uphills ;))

Juan – Who “highly regards” a kona stinky or a RM6/7 ? [:?]

Euh yes what is wrong with that?

But the difference in grading criteria means that it’s quite possible to end up doing a huge, gruelling ride, with little in the way of technical singletrack in return.

Oh you mean like trail centres in UK then.
Can you guys please bear in mind the fact that France is a rather spread country with a lot of different topologies.

What will be graded blue in Nice will probably be graded Black somewhere else. And so and so.

Plus exept some local restriction, you can ride on in footpath in France provided they are located outside “Parc naturels nationaux”.
The FFC-VTT are just guidelines. You should check the local councils or conseils generaux for more informations…

Plus France isn’t the 3rd world you know, there is plenty of MTB forum where you could meet locals who I am sure will be more than happy to show you around.
Hope it helps.

Hi cluke
You have to give us a little bit more information.
Do you want a DH bike or do you want a freeride bike.
Although similar, bikes are going to be very different.
A freeride bike is perfectly able to be ridden uphill (wait for people to shoot me on sight) it will have usually 2 front rings and 9 rear cogs and usually they are going to be “quite” light (around 15-16kg). But don’t get me wrong they are perfectly going to be able to whistand the stress of going down, and might be perfect suitable for some occasional DH practice.
A dh bike wont be able to be ridden up hill as it will only have on big front ring.
The geometry is going to be very different too. DH bikes are going to be a bit longer and have more slack than a FR bike. A DH bike is a very specific tool for a specific job.

Now if you want a FR bike, plenty of bike for this price range, commencal, kona and rocky mountain have some very good bikes for such use. Apparently trek and specialized have some models that would be perfectly suitable for your needs. If I was/were you (sorry I did ask, but no one gave me the rule) I wouldn’t rule out 2nd end bikes. Kona stinky is highly regarded, so is the RM6/7.

For DH bike I only know about the commencal, the kona or the RMX/flatline. But I am sure more DHer on here will be able to help you with that.

Hope it helps

ok I’ll dismantel the pump tonight I kinda get got in a chainof events yesterday so I did not went back home.
I did blow in the tube (brand new and so is the bubble ball) and I there is some air coming on the other end.

I’ll see what I can do tonight

Cheers all

That London’s famous London, for goodness sake!

yup expect to pay twice the standard prices for lower quality

muddy_bum thanks I’ll have a look tonight 😀

Well I shall advice not to use antibiotics if you can avoid it. Bacterias are getting more and more resistant to it. So it might work this time, but be useless the next one.

You can try to bath it in salted water. That would help. And If it does not go in the next couple of days consults your GP as it might be something nasty (sorry).

LOL at rich
no no nemo in my tanks only proper dumbass gold fish.
Plus the air pump is outside the tank.
I can see nemo go all the way through the 2mm diameter pipe 😉

Have you got the one way valve the right way round?

It’s a CFHproof pump just one hole in it.

Kinked air tube?

nope brand new one, but the reminder might get use for kinnky purposes 😉

Show us a picture when you’ve finished!

It’s done I have 3 fishes inside 😀
