    1 lever that operates a dropper and the shock………..that’s the dream.

    Yep, middle ring option on an xtr triple.

    Lines up with the old mrp top guide perfectly (bb mounted in stead of spacer).

    Just closer than I thought it’d be.

    Done it 4 times.

    2.35 dual ply minion. Mounted tubeless to flow rims. Front.

    Dual ply 2.35 Larsen TT. Again tubeless. Rear.

    Granted, the Larsen is a hard find now (i bought a couple spare a while back)
    .

    Faultless. Faster rolling rear (a must) but enough grip in the turns. Classic front.

    1.

    Same bike, twice. 6yrs apart after a 5yr absence the 1st time.

    Wasn’t meant to be.

    unfortunately when it comes to GP’s, chiros and physios I have had bad experiences

    If you are having this many bad experiences of a variety of health workers is it not possible that the common link is at fault in some way?

    Your expectations perhaps?

    I have one. I’d buy another. Bolt through rear though as I can make the tyres rub on my QR one whilst cornering. Not an issue but I don’t like hearing it.

    Works here, either a 4.5 day week or a 4 day week option. I tailor them to suit the time of year. Long days winter means a Wednesday off for some daylight and then short days and a half day in the summer for maximising the evenings.

    Works well as my role is basically split into 30minute slots all day, everyday.

    If it is the previously mentioned rider then, looking at the link to facebook above, Kona would be taking action.

    Surely they would already be aware of this? Regardless of any official channels surely as an industry insider they would have heard rumours?

    Had it a few times on a QR dune with a 10mm axle.

    Unfortunately it was during descents at the mega so a touch worrying to find a rear wheel loose enough to fall out.

    Interestingly, it also happens when done up super tight and a zip tie over the lever to keep it closed.

    Hi,

    Thanks again for all the info.

    I had considered, and have gone ahead with, making enquires regarding a physio role in the regulars. I’ve been told that there is nothing till at least 2014.

    I’ve also been told that there is no role for TA physio at this time.

    I could obviously make use of my medical training by looking at this area of the TA but I think I’d rather do something completely different. Either way would be a benifit to any future FT applications if they were made.

    Luke I said, I’m off down to farnham tonight so will see how that pans out.

    Thanks all.

    Some great advice. Particularly the news about increasing commitments.

    I’m heading to the local head quarters tomorrow night to speak to the chap in charge and fill in medical forms.

    Any advice on things to ask/know so not to look a clown?

    Also not sure about the five-year minimum term in the RAuxAF; AFAIK RFA96 allows you to resign with no notice (as, for various complicated legal reasons related to lack of pension etc, volunteer reservists are classed as casual labour).

    Hmmm, this sounds like something I need to look at further – just a touch difficult to get a firm 100% answer from recruiters etc when asking more obscure questions.

    For the thread hijacker……the SABRE website has alot of useful employer info.

    My employer allows an extra week annual leave and a week unpaid for the 2 week training per year. We also have a large full time military staff number working as Drs etc so the trust are fully behind it.

    Too tall – when you mention ‘a full commitment’ do you mean the stated days and eventually mobilisation or is there a minimum service I’ve missed?

    Like I said, not specifically planning to leave but it needs to be an option.

    plumslikerocks – that’s what started me thinking. I’ve no commitments and have been a touch bored since starting work here. Prior to this I was a raft guide in Austria. UK physio doesnt quite keep me as entertained.

    Thanks for the reply so far guys.

    I once saw a little t shirt, for maybe an 8yr old girl, it said ‘its better to look good than feel good’.

    No lie. The girlfriend nearly burst with fury.

    He’s fast as hell still, won an ixs this year with some big names present.

    It was his design.

    Popped some Hans Damps on now and its ace.

    30.6 lbs.

    A bit more with a dual ply larsen tt/minion combo – the only alps changes.

    Do everything but 4x on it. Xc runs at swinley (flat), the mega, DH.

    I read somewhere that 2 of the other guys fights ended with him knocking his opponents out. Plus shot 4 times in the back and prison time for assualt.

    Sounds a bit rowdy and definitely not someone I’d wanna fight, whatever his conditioning.

    Good on him.

    So, you stole an alley bike in the end?

    Pop it on gumtree and see if the owner notices it?

    Hart tail and whatever saddle she likes – my misses prefers an older wtb over all the lady ones we tried.

    Also, if she’s anything like mine (who has only been out to the woods about 6 times) if she gets a go on a full suss she will, as on Saturday afternoon, learn to jump tables and jump.step downs better than the group of lads in full facers that were giving it the big one.

    Proud. But apprehensive she will be better than me if I let her use my Dune again!

    If the single lumen C&B seen 1200 T6s are a bit narrow/hot spotty in the beam…..what would be a good pairing for on the bars if the t6 was used on the helmet?

    Oh, also, a 2001 VW transporter bought for £587 whilst super drunk. Didn’t even recall it in the morning. Took 2 days before I checked my emails.

    Ex plumbers van. Grotty inside. But a little clean, some paint inside and a nifty bed in the back meant it was used to live in over 10 months kayaking in Austria.

    Massive bargain

    1 year old Norco team DH. Brand new warranty replaced rear end. Barely used.

    £560

    The guy had sold it a few weeks before for over £1500 but the chap messed him around. He relisted and went in holiday. I pounced. Couldn’t pick it up and get outta there quick enough..he wasn’t entirely happy but did the right thing anyway.

    2 weeks later my warranty replacement front end arrived from Norco 2nd to the frame recall they were doing! Brand new Norco team DH it is then.

    I think you said it yourself early on……you want to try but she loves someone else and doesn’t want to try and love you.

    As hard, and painful, as this is, it is the root of why it should end cleanly now. Anything you put in to sorting this out, and it’ll be a lot, will be stripped from you as it’ll be a one sided effort. I wouldn’t wish that feeling on anyone.

    My parents divorced when I was young, maybe 4. My siblings were 2 and another a few months. Growing up with 2 happy individuals in my life, as opposed to an arguing, untrusting, couple, has done me zero harm and has left me with much fonder memories of childhood than some of my friends whose parents went the other way.

    It’s hard, will make you feel sick I’d imagine, but in my opinion (for what that is worth) you should ask her to politly find another place to stay whilst you both begin to seperate. There is no reason you should be the one to leave by the way – my dad raised us.
