I have used XTR for 5 years covering thousands of miles with just the odd service but what puts me off from purcahsing them again is that if you buy QR hubs then you are stuck with QR, they cant be converted…

Another vote for tacx ceramic here been using them for 3 years…

Our dogs sizeable 30kg + and eats about £40 of food a month.. Hes been insured since we got him and had 2 ops that costing over £5k that the insurance paid out on.

One of the biggest costs is not financial its the time you have to devout to them…

They vary from brand to brand usually in the range of 4 – 6 nm. I do all mine to 4nm and no issues with any slippage

Anyone ?

Another vote for Darren at Strada they are in lancing now..

I did mine 2 years ago, best change you can make. I used to run it with the pro pedal on at setting 3 all the time

They are a harsh ride just try Scott or the Cannondale and you will notice a big difference…

Think stammer has an inherent issue due to the area it’s located in…

Can only comment on the Maxxis Ikon and Ralph. Run both on the rear on the same bike. Used the maxxis for about 500 miles, found it much slower on harder surfaces, less traction in mud and mud does not clear from the tread as easy..

All the diesel ones i have owned last for years so they definately are worth it in the long run. One pair must be over 6 years old and still going string…

Konabunny sorry forgot to say that a normally a partner would charge maybe £200 – £250 in previous insolvencies and liquidations i have come across.

Konabunny arent most now LLP to protect their personal liability ?

Must have posted a few seconds after shorty… 🙂

If you still want one cheapest place i found when buying was here about £173..

Taff you won’t find the trails unless accompanied try the Sussex Mtb site to see if any rides are happening when your about

Had 2 kitchens in my time, last one about 3 years back , look and construction of the doors are good but the carcasses leave a lot to be desired As the slightest bit of moisture was causing the melamine to peel off and also in places where you taking plates etc in and out it the melamine wore quickly if they have addressed that now they would be a good buy

Are formula rotors slightly thinner than some, you may find that they rub a bit more using some of the other brands. Can you not pick up some centre lock 6 bolt adaptors SH and then fit the 6 bolt formulas ?

Tried one of the 9 speed recon ones lasted about 1500 miles in mainly dry conditions you can get the xx cassettes cheap at http://www.bike-discount.de…

Cant comment on the quality but if you know a tradesman who regulary uses Howdens they get 60 – 70% off the list price that they advertise

Banks the financial experts lending money left right and centre, what a bunch of cocks, supposedly masters in their field bailed out out by Jo Public. They are leeches.

I have a Scott Scale Carbon 29er ( soon to be sold as new bike arrives) and thats a nice comfy ride for a hardtail. Had a quick spin on a Niner and thats very stiff and unforgiving at the rear

Hmm salivating all over my iPad, may have to let the spicy go !

Northwind, if only you had learnt about oral sex aged 10 your early sex life may have been greatly enhanced 😀

Crikey do you like anal apparently you have very little choice in the matter 🙂

I am not sure about the kind of early sexual experiences you have had Northwind…. At the end of the day we will all differ in the way we want to bring our children up and how we want them to learn about sex and relationships. It should not be up to the BBC to dictate to us through poor programming how, when or where we choose to do this….

Of course he will, but at the end of the day it is our right as parents to be able to choose when and where is appropriate for the conversation to be had, not have it forced on us by a 15second advert on the BBC.

Crikey, thank you for your sexual education advice. My wife is a doctor and has worked for a number of years in sexual health, and in fact she has already had the conversation about sex with our son. She feels very strongly that children and young teenagers should have adequate, early sex education, but learning about reproduction is not the same as learning about oral sex- maybe we should be teaching our children about anal sex?Yes probably, but aged 10??

Not watching wife was channel flicking then went to sort out washing leaving it on that channel can’t see how anyone can justify informing minors about oral sex at that time of night

Are the joys of sex not better explained by the parents at an appropriate time and at an appropriate age depending on the child?

No kids Jamie ?

No comment flip

Thanks for spotting that ! 🙂

I have used 9mm QR Sid RLT ti 2011 model and the same years fox 120mm fit ones on my spark and I have kept hold of the foxes as they just seem to be that bit plusher even without the kashmina coating…

Scott scale carbon in large. Put on lighter wheelset bor rims on am classic hubs, SIDS, old xtr in 2 x 9 set up, formula r1 brakes and a few other bits comes out at 19.5lbs with race tyres on..

Thanks have just raised the dispute, thats hopefully good to know as this a first in probably 6 years of Ebay / Paypal

Be careful with the USA one, with postage and perhaps paying VAT Duty and clearance charges that cog could end up nearer £50

You can get a 36 tooth ring here, a bit pricey though for one cog.. Not seen them anywhere else..

On problem tyre rim combinations and I’ve tried many I inflate and seat the tyre with co2 leave it for a few minutes deflate slowly so tyre bead still seats and then remove valve core and insert sealant through valve. Put core back in and inflate never failed for me..
