can i get a copy too please?

back in summer…

used to use finish line wet, but now using green oil[/url] on everything. not quite as tenacious as finish line, but doesn't appear to pick up quite so much crap.

this week: punk ipa by brew dog.
next week: my own brew. an ipa currently conditioning in the bike room. it's a very, very nervous wait.

i'm a few hundred miles into a set which replaced "classic" looks with red cleats. less creaky than the old ones (so far) and cleats a little easier to walk in.

less float than mtb pedals, but not causing me any problems (so far).

another vote for hendersons.

Hmm! Basque cyclist, Madrid laboratory, maybe I'm just too suspicious.
yeah! like take that ETA! you put two of our policeman in the morgue. we, er, take a tour stage from you!

that's not a camel toe…
indeed. i believe the correct term is "moose knuckle".

i'm in the scottish races scenes. orange top, blue helmet (non-period bike and SIS bottles).

i was awesome in it. still happy to sign dvds. £10 to you chief.

pretty tough going. quite boggy in bits, particularly at the head of the loch just when you think it must get better. 3 hours from where you meet the loch to tarmac IIRC.

fine if you like being "out there", less so if you're expecting peachy singletrack.

a well timed question – just been looking at these.

what's the difference between the versions of the mtx rack?

thinking of one for this:

only needs to carry sleeping/bivy/thermrest – couple of kg(?).

you don't really understand it if you think it doesn't
or just watch the itv4 highlights…

would have been much funnier as:
hey pistolero, there is no "i" in "team", but there is a "u" in "cun*".

🙂

i agree. always important to start with clean ears.

Obviously these guys in the tour are fit and healthy (fittest and healthiest might be more apt) but is it doing them any long term damage?
i have a vague memory of reading that the life expectancy of a pro cyclist is significantly lower than the general population (low 50s?). but can't remember/find a source for this (so may be pish).

corrour>loch trieg is fine. loch trieg>blackwater is a carry up into the glen, then very nice singletrack. boggy sections if you take the direct route to the reservoir after the bothy. not ridden the higher route shown on the OS map.

There's currently no penalty for missing a drugs test in football.
um, i'd imagine Rio Ferdinand would disagree with you there…

FIFA are signed up to WADA now aren't they?

not long had one done by hendersons[/url] in edinburgh (london/portobello/willobrae road junction). quick, £50 and seems to be good quality.

Bontrager (built by DT Swiss?), but no one seems to have too much to say about these
I had one that came off a GF Rig. It wasn't very good. The more expensive Bontrager wheels use/d DT hubs, almost certain these weren't DTs.

what samuri said.

lance has been speaking to me personally via twitter:
lancearmstrong Just heard from Frank Schleck that Jens is doing ok. Good news.

not enough information!
?

more pics please!
that's all my decent ones.

Show me some pics from the race, please!

bialetti for car camping.

MSR mugmate for more adventurous stuff:

from http://www.backpackinglight.co.uk/product135.asp (or an outdoor shop near you (i got mine from nevisport))

i started using soap (and brush) a month or so back. nothing fancy, just what they had in boots. better shave than any of the foams and gels i've tried recently (after noxzema menthol got hard to get).

I mostly watch it for the challenges.
surely you mean "challenges".

disappeared up it's own arse a while back and has outstayed it's welcome

mail me. address in profile.

standby.

morning!

sorry, not got any of the TSPC ones left, but have SSWC stickers / wristbands / openers / posters and a few XL tees left. i've asked the other two if they have any TSPC stickers left.

thanks, this is for a road bike. XX has priced me out of a hobby. 🙂

Strange how the press isn’t all over this one ….
it’s on the BBC website and featuring in their sports reports (on radio). what do you want – a newsnight special? 😉

you’re in luck – the Scottish XC series is on at the awesome Badaguish on 6th September. see SXC website for details.

go to Bothy Bikes[/url] and pick up some Bike Maps.

great fun. well done and thanks to those that made it happen.

duck!
