another 29er

Yes I do.

I currently have an option either for a 1.77 fixed for 2 years or 2.8 fixed for 5 year with Santander. Amazingly that’s for a part capital (25%) part interest only (75%)

Tempted to go 5 year fixed. Ltv is 25%

Everyone thinks they have the prettiest wife at home…..

delighted for Lewis, well done chap.

haters will hate, no point trying to justify anything…..

One thing…. I thought the commentators said yesterday that Lewis didn’t have his family in AbDrab! Nicole and Anthony are there (unless im seeing things!)

The funny thing is that people are watching it, calling it rubbish and posting on here, still watching it. Why waste your life watching something you hate? Go do something else, ride a bike, clean the house, have a w***!

Only run rons, the best tyre for my type of riding, mainly XC

My old Philips died a horrible death so I briefly looked at some replacement options in John Lewis and the 42in version of the LG was the slimmest, non intrusive and best picture quality so, after 4 minutes, it’s was on its way home. Great tele, web os is brilliant and it has apps n everything, Great.

To the original OP – we are not in a recession, we in the UK are booming!

Very good

im looking forward to doing this with my little lad – hes only 2 and the most amazing little person in the whole world!

Most of my kit is now Rapha too, lasts well and if bought through sales, cracking value
Also find the resale value is excellent

yep, I have transferred real OS maps onto my garmin – from an SD card a straight lift onto the 1000 built in mem.

the funny hing is despite all the hate….. it is still watched.

I copied my OS Maps onto the 1000 drive with no problems. Battery life is not as good as the 800 but I can squeeze 8 hours from mine.

blimey b2b – you feeling ok? :wink:

thanks

You have to feel for Nico, he is getting a proper beating – Butoon did say a while back that Lewis will come good, he has.

Ricciardo is a very special driver, love to see him and Lewis together one day.

That’s good to know sillyoldman – have you got medium cage rear, if so where did you buy it from?

Should be ok with medium, I think you only need long if going triple – however do check and double check as I don’t have a lot of knowledge of new xtr

I have the cassette and shifter, just waiting for a medium cage rear mech. Can’t wait for a touch more range than my 1×10

Oh, my P11D cost is nearly 3k! Has been even before the last got sick, but that is for all mod cons!

I have it through work for the family, initially through BUPA and now AXA. Wife had breast cancer last year and treated at the parkside in Wimbledon. Her initial diagnosis was via the NHS and that was super stressful. After surgery to remove the lump, the oncologist said no need for chemo as small lump with no lymph node involvement. BUPA however insisted she has the oncotype DX test, in the US to look further into the biological makeup of the lump. The test is not available on the NHS. Results came back as high risk of recurrence and she needed chemo.

The lesson here is that NHS is reactive, it fixes people at minimum cost and does not focus on prevention / cure. The private sector cannot afford to do that, as reccurrnces cost far more in the long term.

We will always have private, as long as it’s available to us.

Both will be fine – some cracking riding around there – drop me an email and I’ll sendvyou some routes

I am currently running xx1 front ring on hollowgram with XX cassette and XTR rear mech – 1×10
Looking forward to having a bit more range with XTR M9000

Oh dear, could be riding a new and unfamiliar bike – also remember the head angle on XC bikes is a tad steeper, resulting in faster steering.

I have xtr m9000 on order from CrC just waiting for delivery – I’m running cannondale hollowgram and hoping that running xx1 front ring won’t be an issue,

From what I have read, Shimano are not using thick thin rings hence my nervousness!

Come on CrC where is my mech, cassette and shifter

the commentator is a legend

good ad for carbon – agreed, that was great!

They are trying to sell a bike, whats wrong with that?

Lovely ride today, the MTBO did make it busy but in a nice way, great to see people out enjoying the trails. :D

drop me an email, I have a very similar route to njee if you want a gox

Damn it, im gonna buy one again as I miss mine a lot.

American Classic or DT Swiss. Nothing else comes close for value / weight / durability.

Yep the parktool does the job in seconds, everything else is just a faff
Cheapest place for the parktool is fatbirds

Leon same thing happened to me last week when replacing the bb on my supersix – the sram pf30 bearing are set inboard as opposed to the wmfg bb. I have gone back to sram pf30.

I had one for 18 months and loved every minute of riding it. – superb bike, miss it even though I ride a scalpel 29er.

i thought it was ok.
