Is a helicopter breaking the rules?

Avid Juicys

Maybe your fingers need recalibrating 🙂

How big are your rotors?

Mine’s great. Needed a little TLC recently, mostly because I ran it without any maintenance (clean & lube) for over a year.

Haven’t tried Shoe Goo. I have tried Freesole and it’s great.

Jungle are the importers/suppliers. They also link to two service centres Flotec and South Coast Suspension.

They should all be able to sell you one.

Could you phone in and ask them to have a phone-in for cyclists who’ve been nearly killed by gobshite motorists on Monday morning? Then we can all phone in and discuss how we’ve nearly been killed on a daily basis for the outrageous idea of going to work.

How heavy is it? With good surface prep I can’t imagine that a decent 2-part epoxy would struggle.

Maybe Dave Hinde was doing a summer placement at the shop.

I’ve just gone from how you have them set up (rotated right together) to i-Spec B. It places them maybe 5-10 degrees further apart – leaving the big paddles rotated round slightly too high for my liking.

I’ve used UK Bike Store in the past but might reconsider that in light of their fickle returns dept!

Maybe send them a pointer in the direction of this thread.

SOGA and credit card cooling off should mean your mate is fine. Worst case, post back, tracked/recorded/signed (so your mate can see a name & signature given on delivery) then claim back form the CC issuer.

Pint numbers on your bins so it’s obvious that these stragglers are not yours?

Alternatively, set up a camera so that you can identify the culprits, then shoot them with a miniature remote GPS transponder, follow them home then you can stalk the zombie maggots and torture them Saw style until they realise the errors of their ways… maybe then they’ll learn..</chewkw>

Interesting post. I don’t agree with all of it, but I don’t disagree entirely either. Couple of points.

Bearings aren’t so great when you’re loading them at the same point over and over (i.e in a shock linkage). They’re better when actually spinning. This evens out the wear over at least one of the races. Bushes are also much more compact therefore easier & simpler to design for, also requiring less material (therefore less weight and cost).

Pinch flats and burping definitely suggest you need more air in your tyres. I know it’s a combination of luck, tyre choice, personal riding style and more luck but for many people, tubeless has resulted in a massive number of punctures when riding in normal and rocky terrain.

My Mrs is working but I can get away. If none of the other Hexham lads are out, I’ll be keen to meet up with a crew who are doing a big day out?

I know they’re shorter but my index fingers are weirdly short and the lever isn’t comfortable

I know this will sound rude, but we all want to see your freaky hands now please 🙂

You’ve got to figure out if you have the weight allowance for a proper bike carrier like the Evoc.

We didn’t, so we went with a lightweight bag (the Ground effect Tardis) and padded it out with foam mats and knee/elbow pads.

Vigilante F&R, TCS, Light carcass (not the Tough version). Absolutely fine. Ploughed in to some rocks during a dicey overtake but didn’t pinch and didn’t go flat.

You’re right though, the Schwalbe Supergravity does only thicken the sidewalls. However I’ve found mine punctureproof in the past.

It meant racing the 3 stages ‘blind’ on Sunday

I just accept that reading terrain and racing blind is one of the skillets being tested in and Enduro event. Likewise the ability race when tired from pedalling round a big loop.

It was probably a bigger advantage if you rode them last year so would have a vague idea at what was coming up!

I had a great run down S1, everything else was ok. Happy enough with my placing, 19:36.

Pretty impressed by the event overall. Only thing really missing was a mid-route feed stop.

Don’t bother. I’m disappointed with my investment and will certainly not be renewing the subscription.

Currently can’t download maps at all, so useless without a good signal. Unless a recent update has added this? My Mrs on Apple can download but only a tiny area at a time.

I have other gripes but that’s the show stopper for me.

Road and 29er only!

Weather actually looks promising SHOCK!

That’s us done for, I’m fitting my Magic Marys tonight.

If it’s gone hard an calloused then it’ll eventually come off or yo’ll end up with a nice hard lump that you can grate off.

If it’s still got a void underneath it’ll eventually just come off.

After 10 days I’d reckon the skin underneath is pretty much well formed so you’ve less risk of infection, so cut/pop away.

I’m not a doctor but I am happy so dish out medical advice on the internet.

I guess I’m lucky in that so far it’s only my Mrs who’s scuppered holiday plans when she crashed off a jump and broke her thumb!

Anyway, your mate is absolutely fine for the holiday plans isn’t he? If your his Missus wants to make issues out of hypothetical what ifs then you need to work on your sympathy gathering techniques.

Tastes like… rice pudding but with a hint of tin can.

I’m gonna heat it up in the microwave and have it with a dollop of jam for the full ’90’s experience.

No live link ta, you don’t need that on a monday evening.

Tin opened. It looks a little separated. Solid towards the middle. Watery around the edges. Quite yellow. Is ambrosia normally this colour?

Smells ok.

There’s loads with a fuller title.

Yeah, but life’s too short to use the Advanced Search

Have you tidied up?

That’s what I am doing right now. Given where I found the tin, it’s probably only 4 years old.

It’s tinned it really will be fine.

That’s what I assumed, but it sounds wrong.

Several clues are not hinted at. Are you finding the location of the puncture each time? Is is the same place? Are you sure?

How fast is the puncture letting the tube go down? If it goes down quickly the damaging object (if there is one) should be fairly prominent.

Check the outside of the tyre for evidence of shards of glass, etc.

Are there any burrs on the rim, the tape, the tyre levers?

Are you putting a new tube in each time? Is it perished? Is it over-stretched?

Put your wife on the bikeability course (maybe even send your daughter, too).

At 16 I did what must have been a 45 mile round trip (to a swimming pool where I went swimming) with my mate. Some A-roads, some B-roads.

To be fair though, I did die and write this from beyond the grave 🙁

Yeah, 3 months of hard riding on the summer will use up your sealant 🙂

Also, the enlarging hole/s will have used up sealant, possibly without you immediately noticing.

Did 100 km off road last weekend if that counts? Would have been fine but the weather was properly nasty.

Thanks for the recommendations, I’ll check them out.

Why non-iron. Just sweaty and still need an iron?????

Takes half the time to iron.

M&S, the cheaper variety. It’s work, not American Psycho

I wear these things 8 hours a day, I want to look good acceptable and be comfortable!

you can either tap on the RHS or swipe to go fwd, tap on LHS or swipe to go back.

I’d rather have a button. Trying to read in sub zero temperatures would be much more comfortable being able to keep a glove on my hand!

Class has nothing to do with it

Helpfully, all SD cards are rated with a “class”, which reflects their performance. There are four standard ratings, which you’ll see advertised as class 2, 4, 6 and 10; these respectively guarantee that the card can sustain a write speed of 2MB/sec, 4MB/sec, 6MB/sec or 10MB/sec.

But otherwise it’s a bit fishy! Can the computer see the file but not open it? Can you copy it off? Is there any meta data in the file? Does the size of the file look appropriate?

/edit – I’d also be very wary/suspicious of the card. Last SD card I bought from 7dayshop was dodgy/corrupt. It might not be the size/capacity it thinks it is.

Similarly vague, I’m looking for a pop-ska song, fairly recent (this year). Heard it on the radio when I was here in Feb.

Go.

Bikes pick up dents and experienced riders know this.

Yes, but a serious rider will still pay less for it 😛

So running the upgrade compatability wizard. It says my version is not compatible. Using windows 7 ultimate n with sp1, on a core i7 with 16Gb of ram.
Would have thought this would be suitable. Grrr

Do you have a video card with no supported driver or anything like that?

I don’t think it actually is but it’s become a commonly accepted ‘rule’ so people get really pissy if they don’t and most places realise it will make them look bad so do it.

I’ve had an argument in a club when they refused to give me water for free, so when I went home I looked it up. Don’t think it was a legal requirement after all.

It is going to affect the sale because it will put some people off, it’s as simple as that.

As for whether it’s a problem or not, that’s a different issue.
