STW did a ride out of Rasen in Julyish time. I think it was in Septs issue.

By rights I should be on a small El Mar but I bought a M and it feels right. I reckon just go for the one that feels “right” but looking at the pics, large looks better.

??? How can they close the forest? Or do you meant the car park? If the latter, carry on down to the pub and park there. Ride up the road to the trail and ride, go back to the pub have beer and chips to celebrate!!!

Bum wish I’d known that this morning!,

Needs 650b legs to make… You know the rest 😉

araldite epoxy stuff

Proper araldite is like liquid metal.

Those bloody pebbles are my nemesis 😀

My fave running kit is: montane marathon jacket, omm 3/4 tights and under armour storm beanie.

Crud 29er ones are good (I have recently fitted them).

I’ve never had an issue with any other rim/tyre combo before. The tyres popped on non Stan’s rims fine.

3G would be rather good here. If I stand upside down and wiggle about a bit, I can occasionally get it.

I have a vapour rise and a flux. The flux is a lot warmer.

Listen! If you are not prepared to have that there trail come alive, you shouldn’t even be riding bikes!!!!

Download VLC and transfer the files wirelessly to your iPad 🙂 No need for itunes.

I find it better to try on Montane kit first. Some of their items get interesting in the sizing dept IMHO.

This is a joke. Right?

Yes!! I knew it would come 😀 I do agree with you though!! I have a 4 year old and there is no way I would even contemplate buying him a tablet. He hardly gets near my iPad, even then it’s only for an interactive story book. Maybe I’m a bit old fashioned in my outlook? Buy them 27.5cm dolls to bring their playtime alive.

24/12 is no party its bloody hard work even in a team ! .Just trying to stay warm and fed between laps is hard work there is no time to party.

I roll solo and enjoyed it 😀

Bontrager 24/12. fun, fun, fun!!![/url]

It’s a party with a bike race.

I’m just under 5’8″ and I ride a 16″ Salsa El Mar.

I’ve just ordered some Arch EX 29ers on Pro Evo 2s. They are coming with the 40t hub 🙂

Being good at spelling and grammar, brings the thread alive.

I like the Marin trail, but then I like peddling 😀 the views are ace!! Last few times I did it, I rode from llanwrst up the road to the start (great leg warmer)

I still have a Geax Saguaro up front and an Ignitor on the rear and I have been amazed at how well they have behaved in the gloop.

Wow!!! I’m ready to never see one again after an hour!!!

He’s freewheeling downhill, any idiot can see that! And badgers are really hard, they don’t need helmets!

they don’t use brakes either for teh extra orsumz.

Tea tree and mint Original Source shower gel makes my gentleman parts come alive.

I spent ages going around in circles with tablets. I always came back to the iPad. The retina screen is ace and the device feels premium as opposed to the other plastic stuff. IOS just works and I haven’t plugged it into itunes since first switch on (no need to).

That is rather good.

I always use washing up liquid. It works every time on my Oakley lenses 🙂

Cybicle are you living in a different world to the rest of us??

Bit of a tricky one IMHO. I do think matey boy deserved to get shot but not in an execution like what occurred here. But I think there is more to it. These guys are bound to be in a place mentally, that most of us will never be able to comprehend.

Some of the tree hugging replies here are hilarious. Do you live in the real world?? Essel should pay for a stranger toive in his house? Er no don’t think so unless he’s running a homeless shelter. All those saying he should let him stay, should offer this chap a room in their house if they are so accommodating.
I’ve got to rent my house soon and go into rented accommodation myself, due to having to work in another county that’s in commutable daily (I intend to go back to my home in the future). If some idiot pulls the same thing on me I will be struggling financially. It’s all so clear cut isn’t it!!! Bloody idiots lol.

Good luck getting it sorted mate.

Wahl balding clippers are the best ones I have ever had. They are not cheap but yet are worth it.

I have wide feet and find the arctic Celsius boots ace!! Uber toastie and dry.

My Mrs has just got a Samsung Galaxy S3 (after much raving about it from her Sis and Bro), I have an iPhone 4S. I personally find the Samsung sluggish and Android clunky (switching between apps). I wanted to like Android as well 🙁

It would have bought them lunch for a day and a half, due to cuts in their expenses. 😉

Their eggs Benedict is tasty.

That trance 29er is an abomination.
