The Trance is a fine bike for middle aged mincers to potter around on

Cheeky tuuat I’m certainly not middle aged and I don’t potter about on it!! (also ride a SS HT 😀 )

MTFU sugar boobies

How dare you post that up knowing I can’t look at it at work…

I thought you didn’t like gears anyway!

I have nothing against gears 😀

Scandal 29er

Swapouts enable you to run it as either singlespeed or geared.
I am umming and ahhing whether a Scandal will suit my personal riding needs.
I was way impressed by the Scandals I have come across, they are uber light and look sweet.

Personally I would go for the Scandal with swap outs 🙂
I know the Scandal is a sweet bike.

I have stuck the 2.1s on my singlespeed and I love them. They handled gloopy mud just fine and I never had any twitchy bum on roots moments.

Had a look at music radar 🙁 Cheers for the heads up on that site 🙂

Really?? Where from?? Not from here they’re not.

GAK have the C1 at £749 (can’t get the 006 anymore)

Guitar is: Schecter Hellraiser 006 in black cherry finish (looks amazing). It has EMG active pickups (can switch it to single coils via the knob). It is an amazing guitar to play it can scream metal and play laid back too.
Comes with the case bits inside. There is one blemish which it has had from new (tried to capture it with the camera)
Looking for £400 posted.

Amp is a Peavey Blazer 158 15W. Probs £15 + postage

Cheers for the “useful” replies. I keep going round in circles with this!!

I quite like the Panaracer Fire XC Pro.

Shouldn’t you be working, and not surfing the internets!

That is my job 😀

Ahem! Aren’t you off with the aids or something??? 😉 *big brother*

Seriously thinking about hitting the buy button on one of these. Think it may be perfect for soloing at Mayhem.

Get some luminous spray paint and spray around said pot holes.
A. You can spot them easier b. someone may think it needs doing and repair it (this happened to a fella at our work)

White vinegar, lemon and water in a sprayer bottle works a treat!

*watches thread*

Loctite on the drive side is king.

Go for the 4S. You will regret it in the long run!!

After chuckling at one of my riding buddies swearing and hating every moment he had on a 29er at Cannock on Tues, I don’t think 26″ will die.

Text book! I really need a new long sleeve jersey 🙁

Anyone got a link to the “strava cock” someone made?

I need a laugh

What is this???

Strava is bloody gash IMHO.

Squidging around Cannock. It was a smidge nippy.

Carradice SQR FTW!!! Had mine for 3 and half years now. Absolute brilliant bit of kit.

Your bars have been christened.

Cool. Looks quite chilled (if you know what I mean).

Get a micro hdmi lead plug into your tv and boom smart tv!! It’s good for showing pics and watching media. I paid £90 for mine early last year and its great. Part of me wants an iPad but I can’t justify that cost.

I’ve pre registered for the north west one. Should be a laugh.

Spent 4 months down there and never want to go back!! Bleak as a bleak thing.

Cheers! Needed a new saddle. Almost bought another spoon.

This is very true and also a very good idea!! Hospices are one of those things that a lot of people don’t know about. Support your local one, as you will be lost if it went!!

I think it’s all relative, as you don’t have gears to make going up easier lol.

I ride a Trance X2 and an Genesis io singlespeed (HT).
Keilder 100 2011 rode the Trance got cut at the penultimate check due to mechanicals.
Mayhem 2012 solo on my Genesis came in the top 10 solo finishers (wish I had registered as a singlespeeder)
I am riding Mayhem again (if I get in)on my singlespeed and I really would like a 29er rigid singlespeed for Keilder.
I felt fresher on my singlespeed than when I did Keilder on my FS. But that’s me 🙂

Washing up liquid works a treat in my Oakleys.

Use it for commuting insurance.

Don’t take this the wrong way, it’s just my personal experience.
Macmillan were awful with my Dad and my Auntie when they were had terminal cancer. We/they and her immediate family had no support from them. We asked numrous times and received nothing. I am glad others have had success with them, as I am sure they do good work. Unfortuantely for me they have left a bitter taste in my mouth and don’t get a penny.
My money and charity work goes to the local hospice (Wigan & Leigh) and Marie Curie as they are brilliant.

Miele washers come with a 5 year warranty. Ours had been working a treat for 7 1/2 years no dramas until something we washed killed the door glass 🙁

Kona baggies I paid about £25 for in 2002/3. They still look in good nick.

I just cut my hair on the landing and vacum it up. I had cordless clippers and they are cack in comparison to corded ones.

To be fair, they have already authorised payment for the replacement of the 2 kids pram seats (£260!! bloody Baby Jogger).
