yep,just use an old socket that nearly fits on and hammer it on. before it is nearly unscrewed, waggle it to remove it.

i have to admit i still nip up my mcguards this way after losing they tool as im too lazy to buy 4 plain bolts for the winter wheels.

yep, you have invoked the wrath of my aunty. she recons you should sell all but one. ;o)

If you have the money and love the watches then its up to you what you do.Everyone on here has something or other kicking about that they dont need that they choose to keep.

you should change your name to jeph.

p.h. for professional hoarder!

E.T.

as said before, they rode on dirt with 20" wheels and no suspension better than a lot of folk do on mtbs today!

good find with that pic. its nearly 30 years old and to this day theres not many folk that could do what dave is popping off there! its unreal for the time. R.I.P vanderspek.

i had to edit this.. just check out the height of that tabletopped bunnyhop. w..t…f !

Dirtynap.. some folk above have a few of those functions in their watches.aviemorons breitling has a few.

The thing is, he didnt buy the watch.. he was awarded it.Doing something that you or your parents might have benefited from a long time ago.

Then again.. its also 2 hours 20 mins from Thurso east here as well. ;O)

Ive got skye 1.5 hours from here.. torridon about 1 hour 20 mins.lots of 20+ min descents but i would rather be down there.

getting sun stroke in Newquay a few decades ago wont keep me away.I remember the south end of Fistral beach with no buildings on the hill above it. The last pic i saw it was built up a bit since then. maybe the way its turned out would peeve me off. Has Newquay gone quiet for the end of summer yet or is it still silly busy?

ellsworth epiphany.. although i havent done it all on my one yet. still need to experience the breakage.

the birdie song.

no,wait for the depressing bit half way through!

"Heather Bash – Member

Snigger…"

They remind me of drunks swaying about in town but some folk might consider this type the coolest thing ever.they do my head in!

I thought James Brown might have cropped up.not sure if he was the coolest though.

were you shrieking and clawing fek out of yer cheeks?

I dont know many but i would agree on Prince and zach de la rocha. what about John Squire?

therapist and saleem on here both have nice watches..

cmon.. post pics!

one thing i notice with most expensive watches is the screw heads not tightening to the exact position to keep everything looking perfect.

theres no arguement.. if they can make the internals so precise then theres no reason why they cant go the whole hog and show their perfection by making a selection of fixings with the heads slotted in diffrent directions that they can choose from to complete the look of the watch.

I know someone with a nicer B&R than the one above but my wrists arent chunky enough.. wallet aint chunky enough either.

Once you finish a lap,how far do you ride on the road to get back onto the final section for another blast?

the pic above doesnt show what they were actually riding on stage. did any of the makeshift bicycles fold and break during any shows?

Lol. You make that site sound like a car browsing experience down at Arnold Clarks.

once you go above £7500 with Alliance & leicester you get a better rate. check out what they offer over the likes of 2 years.. or 3.See if they will be happy to do it for you without payment protection because blah blah (explain to them why yer going to be one of their easiest ever customers to deal with ;O) ) and hopefully they will give you what you want.

maybe have a look at martin lewis/money saving expert.com or whatever he calls his website. the list had A&L as quite a good option. Ive had a few loans with them in the past 12 years and the deals without payment protection were very good.

I noticed theres a few square tapers taking part this year.

sounds about right. crazylegs has said it all so i dont need to bother. shops can bleed a brake and bleed a brake only but they wont sleep at night (at least the ones who care when closing times comes around) if its still not working right. this means cleaning pistons or replacing them along with seals.

epic.. i asked steve to put a bb7 on order for my next bike(just going to run one rear brake!)
with quality cables and the right levers they can blow some hydro brakes away.hassle free.

Just what is it that you want to do?
We wanna be free
We wanna be free to do what we wanna do
And we wanna get loaded
And we wanna have a good time
That's what we're gonna do
No way baby lets go
We're gonna have a good time
We're gonna have a party

bonty.. like sv said, go buy an mmmbop frame from crc to cheer yourself up!

Its worth exactly £154 more than her in vietnam.

aye.. but it makes up for it in other ways.

thanks. i got a pair locally to keep me going.i tried tawse tyres in Inverurie but what they had for 60 quid was awful.I got 45quid a corner hankooks. (they went on the back)

fingers crossed!

i like the look of the norco up there. the lines flow real nice on it. great proof that you dont need a niche bike brand to have a really nice looking bike. no offence. just a pity i didnt see that when the nicest bike thread was on the go the other day!

my greenie at the top of the na baaaa. http://photos-by-martin.digimig.co.uk/p54706360.html

the power,build,the lines.. it has to be good for under 8k! although the reason they go so cheap is because of all the teasing bmw drivers get on forums like these ;O)

"306 GTIs are overrated IMO. "

I cant believe folk are putting peugeots up against a bmw of all things. what a kick in the teeth.bmws have always been and always will be far better.

heres a video to prove it. just watch it get 2nd place.. :wink:

clarkson "and its just… ammmmmazingly good fun to drive"

spend a few grand.. buy a few nice bikes with the changeeee!

nice looking z4 though.

is it the 258hp version/engine?

lol.

so you risked losing yer teeth over yer balls,steve? what a dilemma!

518mm for the pike and the gryphon rigid fork i want to try is 445mm.i liked the pike set about 125mm and with sag it looks like the rigid fork will be too short.

so if i ran a 29er wheel up front the 40mm or so diff would all add up nicely eh?

oh dear.. a marin rocky ridge 69er is on the cards.

thanks for finding that pdf.. its really handy.

have you ever been up above loch einich,sanny? sgor gaoith/no4 and 5 butresses? or the argyll stone?

coire gorm looks steep.take yer body armour for that one!

"nothing you choose to say will make a diffrence."

try a four letter word beginning with C and get back to us!

aye, and drop yer J in loch too ;Op

::runs::

good luck with it, any pics from yesterday?

Ive had heaps of frames (for customers) replaced due to marks on the edges of welds exactly like this.

considering where this mark is,i wouldnt ride it.

good day for it eh? i walked down to the carpark on the path you talked about a few months ago and compared to what i rode down about 10 years ago, its changed a lot since then.its probably quicker to ride down but not as gnarly (did i use gnarly on stw ? shame!) just like how the descent down from rothie lodge has been man handled and spoilt over the years.

not sure about where you want to go though, ask dave in bb. he was on about a descent over the back of gorm towards ryvoan or something. said it was good.

this week i might head up the track you started on, around the great slab/alladins couloir and push it up to cairngorm then decend down the back track to the ptarmigan and over to the ridge that takes you down the ciste on creagan dubh. finishing up with a ride up the mountain road. still havent done this.

well if you have a bit of money about you.. start up a company making steel ones.

millionaire in a year!

If a pig headset nearly went all the way into a headtube then why would it stop before butting up nicely? do specialized recon grease is the answer to this problem? hardly.
yes, a 1.5 cup can be a bit of a mare to press into some frames but its most likely to be a cup with a non square edge thru design (quite often you will find a round in headsets in this area where a square edge would be a bit handier – especially if you have to go about chamfering the internal edge of a ti frame headtube – GRRR!)

is he wearing goggles riding down the street?

ex bmxer cullinan wins. i was going to post a thread last week asking what hes been upto after getting a new valve fitted in his heart? or was it something else he had done? he could pop into one footed table tops using spds.. remember that!?

ffs.. now i am chanting "comparee my meree gearrr.commm" in my head.
