The bikes I have now thorn xtc (had it 10 years) and rocky mountain element(7 years),both perfect for what I want to do.Though if I wasn’t skint I wouldn’t need much encouragement to update the mountain bike :-)
I bought a tenn waterproof jacket for £25 from a thread on here in fact,wore it in about 5 hours rain today and it coped really well and if fits great and seems well made,i,m going to take a chance on their waterproof shorts from their ebay store for £20 aswell .Happy to pay for gore etc when I have the cash but atm I haven’t and this tenn stuff seems decent for the money.
I fell for the hype on this stuff,found it to be pretty crap,you need to set up an iv drip on the bike to make it last longer than 5 minutes.Think I,ll stick with a wet lube and clean and look after my chain/drivetrain ,I use my bikes daily and my stuff lasts ages but I guess I was looking for that holy grail of lubes that work and are clean,it doesn’t exist.
Looks like we’re seeing what a few years in the incredibly tough rugby championship can do for a team,that win in south Africa seems to have pushed the pumas confidence up a level.
Bloody All Blacks,what do they feed these crazy men on!!! and that’s not a sly are they on drugs comment,more a can someone check they are not all half terminators comment :-)
So the French are having their kicks charged down and missing easy kicks,that means they will either fall apart or do something ridiculous and win.Who knows which one that will be.
Be interesting to see if the all blacks can step it up after cruising and looking very scrappy by their standards,but I guess the best teams save their best for the championship rounds,but you never know,if you had to pick a team upset them then france certainly have history in doing it.
Agree about NZ aa,i think N.Z. go into any game with wales knowing that even if the score is really close after 70 mins Wales will make a knock on or drop a pass at a vital game winning moment and then they will capitalise and its same old same old,but even that can’t last forever(well it can but hey who knows :-))
Good points from Namaste,the aussies play week in week out at a much higher level of competition ,they are always going to start with a 70/30 chance of beating any of the 6 nations teams(in competitive matches where it matters)
Its weird wanting the aussies to win,but that’s only because I can’t see us beating them if England do,if these two teams weren’t in the same group as Wales I would be happy to watch the aussies get a kicking,but that’s not going to happen tonight.
I know hardly anything about cars and the closest I’ve been to engines is taking apart various lambrettas and vespas when I was younger but I seem to always watch this if its one I haven’t seen,quite like watching him fix up cars,maybe it helps if you don’t know if he’s doing a crap job or not.
I,m a Swansea fan and I’ve probably watched a few hundred games in my lifetime mostly in the lower leagues with the odd big cup or play off game throw in and even though I haven’t got the money to go nowadays(even if I could get a ticket) it’s great to see what a brilliantly well run club they are.
And it was bizarre to hear van gaal saying monk changing the shape of the swans team threw his team and they couldn’t cope,he’s the manager its his job to solve those problems,strange comment really.
