Tbh as far as the original post title – this could relate to most bits if bike kit and associated apparel

Glad I watched that, I just need an Audi and Orange 5 now…..

Think he paid with PayPal though

Yep, no problems ordering etc – took a few days to come, no worse than crc of late

I was out in shorts yesterday on the south coast and didn’t even get wet!

Not even a splash

Amazing

I agree – spineless

Nothing like a bit of reinforced self loathing to start the day

Bike-discount.de sell Radon and a mate bought one recently (29’er) and he’s ecstatic with it

Simply awesome, this has the making of a great STW thread

Lies, particularly in full commute mode – it would also be red rag to a bull territory, asking for full p*** take

My wife shed few tears when our second popped out

I will put the key back through the door

…….really? Is that some kind of euphemism?

Try the OneFGear guys as well- nice and friendly even though they ride weird bikes 😀

Look out for traffic, and it’s also a bit slippy

Try south downs way – all close by

Lordswood in Southampton – google maps has a trail map on it somewhere

Try Rotate DH

Try Chichester bridleways – Loads of great stuff

Was there not a thread about a squirrel a while back?

To answer the op’s question – when they sold out to the venture capitalists and it just became about profits

Buy the trail map from the visitors centre (its £2.50) and you will be able to work out all the boring bits of fireroad climbs

Onza – beat me to it

Any of the Stans ZTR range

Try here – can get PDF’s of all the trails

I’m assuming the op was after some genuine advice and what I can add that IMHO there is one major issue that needs some attention. Ir is that the rider in question is riding without any gloves or similar hand protection. If the rider in question was to have a tumble or fall he could scratch his hands, and this along with the associated blood loss could lead to a significant injury. I think what this demonstrates is that there are some riders out there who don’t take their health and well being seriously enough. In addition, un-gloved hands could cause injury to other riders in the event of the “friend” having any riding buddies of the same standard to ride with and if there was any kind of coming together or altercation. I hope this demonstrates the need to take health and safety seriously – remember it’s tough out there

Uh………Cheeko time?

IGMC

Wonder which tyres he’s using? …..

Problem is they roll exceptionally well…….in black!

Went to the zoo the other day, saw a chameleon……

Crap chameleon

How else are they going to fund new trail development?

Try crossing the Swiss – riding on designated foot paths on mountains give them the right hump!

There is the dirt bmx track behind Scotthall at the top of the hill – pm me if you want precise location. There is a concrete bmx track there as well

No tables on workmanship afaik

Thought the tables at the sports centre were unfinished?

What do you call a man with a spade on his head?

No problems for me, in fact quite the opposite – in stock, cheap(er) than UK, branded good, good delivery and packing. Not sure what else to add….oh, in Germany they are mahoooooosive (aka CRC)

My go: –
.
456 Steel – good long travel HT, robust, sturdy and comfy – suits a longer fork
456 Carbon – good long travel HT, robust, sturdy, comy – suits a longer fork and really stiff / light – flies with summer tyres on.
Inbred – good steel HT, suits 100mm fork – mines currently my race bike
Summer season – don’t know
Sandal – don’t know

Get one, anyone, as I am sure they are all awesome

Incomplete, irascible reply and comment

FWIW

Could you give a high level of stars and then say everything you need to in the narrative?

Urge is hot when I ride with it, feels good on and is quite light even when compared to full XC lid. It’s just hot…………VERY!!!

I’ve not done the mega, but have ridden a bit in the alps on a Pitch with air shock and 36 Van 160mm coils and found it perfect. Split between chuck-able and pedal-able perfectly. Get one, you won’t be disappointed

I might bid – looks a bargain!!!!!
