I’d go with hope as a company that actually tries to make something that works well here in the real world uk deserves sales. Shimano know it’s not up to the Job. But either don’t care or can’t do anything about it.
Besides. Each swapped shimano bob goes into landfill you wasteful buggers!

Ha not even remotely in the right colours for this seasons trail bear!
Sent the email and got a reply about how many they’d sold.
Clearly people are good at just getting on with it leaving them in the position of not knowing where it’s going wrong.
Oddly on the sizing guide on the web site. They don’t even feature a leg length?! Even tall people need to know how long stuff is not just small folk.
Now I’m just baffled as even pearl Izumi have hon bonkers in the arse region or lack of it.
Might be easier to change the wife.

I can vouch too much for Triple S. Our road bike frame coated just fine however it kept the same chips as the painted version. So those chips clearly were not removed with the ‘blasting’ so sadly I can’t recomend.

We thought that and checked, i guess the label could be wrong. The liners are always kidney crushingly over elasticated anyway.

I have my phone synching while on charge wirelessly but it only does it when it’s charging. There was a setting in the phone to allow it. Plugging it in still works though.

I’m just stunned those little cable clips are still in one piece, I’ve had stronger pasties than those bloody things!

If she had a choice of things to try I’d be tempted to let them find out the hard way and say sod em!
But Endura generally are a good firm and I was frankly amazed to see this gaping erm, pouch – something akin to Wallaby.
Just cuts down the choices, finding something in XS is tough enough – Short and Small and Good, pick two.

pictonroad – or should I say me.

Thinking of adding to my skoda one of the dab units from Vw golfs. Double din sized unit same plugs according to work avoidance tinternet.
We got a Philips dab for the camper and it’s ace. Audio does need more antenna than a standard fm am one.
I’d go for it.

So bad they posted twice.

I’ve never wished for something to have been stolen more! If not I have lost fairh with mountain biking and am off to shave my legs and discuss ratios n’ coffee.

Jamie how did your design turn out?

Mojo said they could build a custom one (direct mounted shock type) from the triad and the rp23.
Might, no will have to give them a call.

Shock? I was a touch surprised. I thought I’d pissed me self till I realised it was damper oil.
A Japanese gangster might last longer than one of these though?

Mr porter was doing something but it has gone quiet on that thread.

Right that’s it I guess day 1 of holiday and I’ve splurged me shock juice out of my fox triad shock yet again.
Before I launch this shock at Specialized is there any news on this lovely shock mount? .

Tess; really I might have to give them a call.

Not at the price you pay for them.

Right out of my door in Shipley Many woods about and Baildon moor is only a short drop and climb away. Really should get out and try it.

killing and eating game is poaching, taking home road kill you found for the pot is just called odd.

Uranium filled fox by the look of it, driving at er, 30 ish?

Thanks for going to so much trouble, I knew this wouldn’t be simple. Oh well. I’ll have to formulate a plan over the weekend, thought about three flats of steel jointed together would do the job.
Thanks for doing all the looking. If they come up with anything i’d be delighted. Otherwise thanks very much for trying.

Had all three types, wife kept putting the bike inside the car till I realised she couldn’t reach the roof!
Tow bar so much easier to use generally.

Any news Mr. Slug?

1.4 is the TDI with 80bhp the TSI petrol (lovely engine) is 105bhp! Three cyl is a bit of a concern at tickover it is a bit rattly but did seam to pull in the midrange towards 60.

in the same way as listning to yourself recorded on tape or vide from a few years ago. I’d hate to be stuck with the opnion/view/taste of me when i’d grown up/out of it years later.

Tried the 1.2 petrol HTP version on a test drive, I asume we were driving as it’s possible we were being blown along by a light breeze.
1.4 TDI made more sense and wanted to be driven. Not a super car but quite looking forward to it.
Anyone fitted their own Tow Bar?

Pehaps, It slides inside the frame and holds a wheel. Might be close, smaller better than bigger if possible.

30 cm tops 2.5 3mm thick. so annoyed, torq bolts from now on.

Any news Mr Porter?

Sorry to bring thus one back to life but… Thinking of either the 1.2 or 1.4 petrol engines. I’m mostly in town driving mode. Is 1.2 under powered on longer journeys?

Your right, it was a crossbow. I great idea – direct mount design. Hindered only by a shock that wanted to be something else, like a watering can or an ashtray, but not a shock.

I want this bike, just with more choice.

Takisawa – Stop using all these exciting words or i’m going to have to go and have a lay down! 😯

Great News, not sure Keighley is the image they’ll want for the Tour. Dales would be fantastic for scenery and some cracking hills.
Put me down as a Yes to that one please.

Hows the tinkering coming along?

Thanks all never thought a skoda would be preferred to a fiesta or even a polo but it does appear to be a better motor.
Need to try a few now.

When did you wash your pillor cover last? Or are we blaming the puppy? 😉

More proof, if it were needed, that the Singletrack research tool is more usefull than google.
