Very nice……

Not sure what the difference is betwen by "standard" Blur and a superlight, anyone help?

as pauly said… there's no linkage on a SL. Just simplicity.

Aside from it being a bike, I'm so sure that the bar ends, middleburn? cranks, mudguards, wierd looking old saddle don't ruin it ..

Barends – for enduro comfort and climbing and are Carbon ergo stubbies.
Middleburn – what's wrong there, I fail to see an issue ??
Mudguards – The rear one prevents the Joplin from seizing up and the front one stops me getting sheep shit in my mouth.
Saddle – Flite Ti, which I've had on 4 bikes and is the most comfortable saddle for me.

Good choice man…. looks sexy like mine…

A present rather than a parcel I'd think….

ditto.

Luddites……

I think my weight actually went up…. 😉 and i've been riding hard this week…. 40 miles of commuting in the snow and cold should have done something 😥

My Endura's have suffered the same fate after barely 10 rides. The problem is I bought them in the spring and can't find the receipt. Do you think a letter to Endura with the offending overshoes may result in a new pair ??

Motorway without a doubt… or train as trickpsyclist said ^

Sent email yesterday…hope I made the cut..

a good 6-7 inches….. oh snow…. 😳

a couple but barely that here on the welsh coast 🙁

Snow's ace… it's the Ice that's the bugger for me….

Dan – if you're 67th in waiting I think you might be lucky. There was lots of activity in the "transfer market" on the run up to the event last year

I got in luckily… but none of my fellow riders…. 🙁

981st late last night……

Hopefully it'll be as good as last year. Superlight this year instead of Cross bike. I learnt my lesson 😉

See you all in April…

Spelling's terrible……

My front 717 has been going for 4 years too. It's built onto a Hope xc hub and has been spot on…. I run 2.3 tyres, ride Natural routes, Trail centres and enduros and am 16 stone…..

The key to a good wheel is the build. Often your LBS might be the best choice…. depends what your LBS is like though…

Cheap ass FSA road triple cranks on my commuter, with UN53 square taper BB.. works like a peach

Racing Ralphs F&R

Slidey…. living on the edge man……. 😉

Bike – Santa Cruz SL
Front – Speedking 2.3 supersonic
Rear – Mountain King 2.2 UST

Bike – Giant Commute
Front/Rear- Sports contact 1.6's

Infact my tyres are the same now as they were all summer…. I might put the big tyres on my SL, this week….

Front – Nobby Nick 2.4
Rear – Mountain King 2.4

I don't mind wearing lycra, and do every day on the commute (usually under waterproofs)

I tend to wear baggies over te top at trail centres and when out with group, as I don't like people staring at my infeasibly large package

Rob what size ? how much ? Email as above….

Why has no one emailed me to sell their sealskins ?? I am disappointed…..

A thought….. does anyone have any sealskins they want to sell ??

No seriously… with this many unhappy users I should be able to get a few pairs off've here…….

email – teeceround at btinternet dot com

Sealskins are fine you just have to wear them as part of a who;e winter set up….. I use sealskins and they're fine aslong as I wear them with bib longs over the top, then MW80 boots then if it's really cold and wet, my endura overshoes……

You can't just wear sealskin socks and shorts as the water runs down into them like a drainpipe…..

Aslong as you take measures to cover the top then they work just fine…

Waders are fine for fishing but if the water gets over the top then they're useless 🙄

I agree with Matthew_h…. after watching countryfile on sunday, most of their assessors are probably busy in the cocker valley..

Ideal for putting Action Men in…….. with Barbies…

We bth have our own accounts and pay or own share of the bills…. happy after 7 years… don't think it's going to change any time soon…

UN54….. best £1 for £1 Square taper BB imo…

It's got to be Nestle in General….. I think they've killed more people than any other serial killer….

Don't keep telling everyone… it reduces the odds of me winning 😉

EPO…. dear

6'3" and I use 175's on my MTB and 172.5's on my commuter and road bike.

UN52's only…. they stopped making the UN72 a couple of years ago…

I changed my BB to a UN52 18 months ago and it's still running as clean as a whistle on my Superlight.

I never swapped over. I have Middleburn on my Superlight. FSA square taper on my SS commute and My Pinarello has square taper as well….

"If it's not broken, don't fix it"

Edwin = The Don when it comes to Selvedge denim….. rainbow selvedge tape IIRC…. V.V Nice…

For me it's Carhartt all the way…. They just last and last and last…. V.good value for money and a great fit to boot…… 🙂

Plus Swiss-stop brake pads are good to use as well…… IMO

I've got Tektro Short canti's with Sora Levers and set up properly they're spot on. Since changing from a shimano canti wire set up to a more old school straddle wire and yoke the improvement in performance has been ten fold…

I brought these to make them work properly…..

Simples…. 😉

I had a look at b r's and that's exactly how mine looks as I use a 120mm stem (6'3")

Rob – no problem with mud, water, dirt or grime off the front tyre. It was my main reason for buying one as I don't like riding in shades in the winter..
