pikes for £485 – yikes –

I don’t need new forks
i don’t need new forks
i don’t need new forks

Cheers all will drop loco a mail

I watched some YouTube vids and it looks ok but worried I’d miss any faults like you say. Northwind – do I remember that you service forks for money? Apologies if I got that wrong (:

This ram is clearly a fan – or he has 5 legs
Wills looks like he’s going to lamp him 🙂

added 120 in positive and negative chambers and the spring feels about right. The forks seems as rough as badgers bottom though so think it’s time for a service. LBS sends forks off so might as well do that bit myself.

What will me burping do to help? That’ll just annoy my family 🙂

To be honest I last set these up 6 months ago and they have been very tidy up to now (they are over a year old). Pretty sure that I put ~100 psi in both +ve and -ve chambers when I set them up so you might have a point. How can air get betwixt the two chambers? Is it a known fault?

Going to have a mess about with them now….

jebus – after watching that vid I posted again I realise I had forgotten just how good he is

As a Spurs fan – is it wrong to enjoy watching the video of Bale and George Clooney’s honeymoon antics? 😳

Love this video

lacondeguy was robbed (actually I think the non POV shows his run better but will post this anyway)

take him to LeMans? (June-ish)
beer, cars, bbq, no sleep and tents

oh and some quality time together

aha – I was wondering if that blue cable was going to a router or wifi access point for exactly that reason
please don’t tell me it’s for something as tedious as beer electricity

how do you make one of those fridges with beer taps please? – I need that in my life

good, let them rot painfully away for the rest of their lives

be nice if tony bliar got brought to account also but can’t see that happening any time soon

which drawer do you keep the jazz mags in?

cheers all – some useful comments here

I love the flat so don’t want out – will start with projects 6 point plan.

fair point

my main grumble is with the “improvements” why add a stair lift when there is an elevator? The flats have been there for 40 years without a stairlift why do we need one now? Why make an entrance hall bigger?

🙂

oh and one of the things to consider is what surface you will use. We went for grass underneath but it’s a pita to mow around it – i’d probably use some sleepers and bark chips to make a play area if I did it again

we went for one of these which are pretty good as you can mix and match modules to make up what you want

action climbing frames

we spent a lot on it but the kids get loads of use out of it and i’ve banned trampolines so felt guilted into spending the $

trouble is the residents committee is a bunch of old fogies who run it like a closed shop and elect each other to the committee – i reckon I’d never get elected as i’d say about 20% of the residents are under 60 and only 10% under 40 (me)

🙂 now your talking

(actually I don’t even know the code to get in the door and make my deposit)

DH bike – adrenalin hit, fun
trail bike – fun, cover good distance off road
road bike – cover good distance on road, fun

common theme: fun
all bikes are good

thanks

I did have a google but couldn’t really see a clear way forward – one option seemed to be a leaseholder valuation tribunal but that seems to cost £300+

Good point about the caretaker, I knew it would add to the charge but didn’t really think how much. If the caretaker costs £30k per year, that would amount to ~£60 per flat per month.

as far as I can see an equivalent service charge on other developments is ~£120. Add £60 for the caretaker and we get near the £200 pcm we currently pay.

I’m still a bit peeved how I am having to pay for a lift i’ve never seen or communal areas I will never use (because we have our own front door outside the communal area).

I forking love hot dogs – you have changed my dinner plans and I thank you

1 x jumbo hot dog + onions + soft roll + mustard + ketchup X 4

that zesty looks loads better now

Here’s mine – I love this bike

krypton, all you posts are about yourself, your fitness, your diet and beer…..how dreary…

Sounds like someone else needs to blow the cobwebs away with a wee beer 🙂

I appear to be engaged.

Congratulations! That’s a bit of an extreme way of getting out of buying a card and flowers mind.

“everything in moderation, especially moderation”

I like a binge every once in a while and this is nice justification

thanks – pretty amazing really after that fall.

I suspect that Q isn’t aimed at me but fwiw I don’t know who it is or if they were ‘OK’

Wish I hadn’t posted this now and feel bad for watching (and laughing at) other peoples misfortune – even if most of them were dunderheads

Hmm – I hadn’t actually spotted that one at 0:43. Must have looked at elsewhere for a few seconds while that was on. I agree – not nice – sorry about that I can’t report my own post but feel free to do it for me.

I amazed the mobile networks came out of this squeaky clean – it was so ridiculously easy to do this that it’s not really ‘hacking’

go with the flow

people who deviate from the general flow of the traffic, too fast or too slow, are the ones that generally trigger accidents, imo

great thread! Love that clip from True Romance

Take your pick from any of these! All Tarrantino films seem to have great dialogue

Hob Nob – Cheers for the info about the dampers

OW – i’d go for a large at 6ft with a stubby stem to speed up the steering

Even at £1800 for the Bikescene frames, it seems a lot for a Specialized frame. If it was a Santa Cruz or some fancy boutique frame I could understand but in my head a Specialized shouldn’t cost nearly that much. Maybe I’ve just lost touch with the price of stuff. My Stumpy FSR carbon bike cost me £2800 new in 2012

Not saying there is anything wrong with Spesh – I think they make awesome bikes but I’d thought with mass market status they’d make them a bit cheaper / better specced.

Was very keen on this bike but I really don’t like how Spesh specced Pike RC rather than RCT3 on the Carbon model. That feels a bit tight given it’s a very expensive bike.

Apparently the RCT3 is a significantly better fork. Do you think it would be better to try and build one up from a frame and pick the exact components I want?

scampi and lemon nik naks

camo fat bike with hunting attachment niche?!

Like anything I think the key is moderation

for me it’s everything in moderation, including moderation. A binge is good to blow away cobwebs once in a while.
