    IMO there may be some kind of higher being(s)…but not in the manner that religions would have us believe.

    I respect others beliefs…until they start trying to indoctrinate me, whereupon I get very irate…please also respect the fact I’m a non believer! :roll:

    Anyone got RF NW ring and a works one? Ordered a RF from CRC and they have cancelled my order as its not in stock.

    Heard the RF anodising rubs off quickly…how does the works compare in thus respect?

    Cheers

    Riding cannock myself most of the time and hard pushed to warrant more than my Soul with 120 forks.

    Maybe go with something in between at 140mm rear with the option of 150mm front…so new bandit perhaps?

    I would go Solo if only one of the 2…but then I ain’t doing enduros anytime soon.

    Those are the ones i have but mine are army issue with green instead of blue. Army surplus sell them for as little as a tenner!

    Army issue knee length…quite honestly brilliant. The only part of me that came home wet/muddy at the weekend were my knees!

    Always hear good things about biketart’s tape.

    Pretty sure mine states 5-6cm…but it also depends on your frame. My Cotic states minimum 10cm post insertion required.

    No side to side play in the LEV stanchion…it comes from the seat clamp area IME.

    Utd – van Der Sar

    Got him on a free, hit 40 and arguably the best keeper in the world at the time, yet can’t recall him getting as many plaudits as he should have.

    Quietly went about his job as all pros should…sorely missed.

    Just read all the books (if you haven’t already)…the mind creates far better images IMO.

    Anyone know when the next book is out?

    Teadrinker- The process 134dl has slx everything (bar xt plus mech) and verb for £2999 which i think is pretty good.

    My bandit frame is just begging to be built. Just waiting for a BB and RF NW ring.

    OP – you’ll like the bars. I have the riser version.

    That blue Commi is nice…rather like those forks too.

    Really interested in this too.

    Going 1×10 with XT and RF and wondering if I can do it with double m670 too ?

    I was advised you didnt need a spacer if you’re of average(ish) weight 12stish

    matther01

    I’m going to take the plunge.

    Already got a 11-36 and with a thick thin ring and clutch mech should in theory do the job without the expense of a guide.

    As recommended…I’ll start on 32.

    Thanks folks

    Dont forget Brocton either for some off piste and bits off nice singletrack. Really to figure my way around there as i can never remember to link it all up and get hopelessly lost for hours! Great fun…until my biscuits run out! :D

    Had a shifter get a small bit of grit in somehow and did the same.

    Got a pair of zoom carbon risers…super stiff and pretty impressed considering the weight. They also do half price crash replacement too.

    I looked at some of the previous threads on here and one lad was using them without issue on an orange alpine.

    Not sure why folks dont mention them more. I think the low weight scares people off.

    One slight niggle is that i have ti run my LEV remote with the odi grips as the clamp wont stick to the bar…but KS is partly to blame.

    Even though they maybe bruised or broken and no ‘treatment’ can be given…id still want to find out.

    I took 12 weeks to recover from broken ribs and torn muscles.

    Could only sleep in a sitting position…it was hell!

    Been meaning to get these on DVD for ages…nice reminder.

    Remember having to translate for my gran in Bolton…she was hilarious.

    Will be tying a kite to my bike this weekend…no trees should get in the way considering they’ll have all blown down.

    Tidy lass…although her acting is a wee bit wooden. That blond was utter shite in the 3rd.

    Shia LeBeouf was quite good and had few good one liners.

    Pity no dinobots were in any of the films.

    Gobots next on the bandwagon?!

    The fact you’re getting quite irritated ‘shirley’ means you really want the bike.

    If you choose another wont you always be wondering ‘what if?’

    Sometimes the best things in life are worth waiting for.
