Jack of all trades, master of none.

Also you should not be inconvenienced. Do not accept a repair demand a new one. I fell over on this the other month with a pram, I foolishly accepted a repair and boy did I regret it!!! I should have argued for a replacement which was my right.

You moron. It's evolution of a sport – how do you think mountain biking in general started? Some guys took their bikes off road, adapted them to work better and then the manufacturers started to make bikes that were more suited to it. It's just the same thing again, people are riding different stuff in different ways and then bikes come out that suit their needs. No-one's 'making up a niche'. How the f#ck would you do that anyway?

Blimming 'eck someone got out of bed on the wrong side this morning! It's Friday, it's a bit of lighthearted banter, get over it! Anyway I am way in a niche as I ride with a toaster strapped to my bars, I totally ride xxxxxc toastcore dude!

You mean you wanted to take the p*** out of it?

Don't know what you are on about :lol: The whole lets make up another niche amuses me somewhat. And @ Cookeaa fpmsl. I respect the tricks that they do, but that's what I thought "freeride, xxxxxxxxxxxxxxc, gnarlcore" or whatever was for??

I am v cynical :lol: So what kind of rig do you need for that then? ;)

Yes I do, but I was hoping for some stw esque discussion.

37 and am workin in Asian Adult Entertainment .

Giz a job!!!!!!!

32 Years young :D I've been in the RAF 12 and half years currently geeking (more like trying my best to look like I know what I am on about :lol: )about on Unix and Open vms systems.

use mediamonkey it's way better than itunes for music synching.

I can't come as we've got the inlaws coming on Sat now :( So it will be a short escape out somewhere early on Sat morn for me. I will defo be up for this kind of ride if it's organised again. And a holler out to the rest of the flatland dwellers we need to arrange something too!

I have had nowt but joy from the classifieds too! Long may it reign, but without the messing about idiots and the over priced good peddlars which is highly unlikely :lol:

OT time the A57 has indeed changed through Sheffield I went across snake pass last week and was shocked at how much the roads have changed, you do indeed skirt around the Sheffield centre now.
*waves back at sadexpunk* I am a loner in these here flat parts :lol:

I would deffo be up for another one of these in the future if it was on a Sunday as I would be coming from Linocln way, and the traffic is a 'kin 'mare.

*falls over* Wtf is it with kids these days? My Wife's cousin is getting a laptop and an ipod for Xmas and she's 11!!!! 8O I'm sorry but I think the whole giving kids gadgetry malarkey is wrong! Get them playing outside and using their imagination like they should be doing.

i`d sort of like to work at the airport maybe baggage handler or something like that maybe customs,

Do you like breaking stuff????

But what kind of rig do you need?

I just use a meshed hi-viz cost me a few quid and I cna wear it over whaterver then.

Why use one if you have a router?????

I would hope so, it's just made me chuckle

Never had any issues with them myself. Delivery has always bee nv prompt.

+1 Vote here :)

Raceblades would cause the same issues :( I don't have much clearance between my tyre and the bottom of my carradice bag. Having a guard between the stays will stop all the crap getting flung up.

Pete "all my jokes are the ones I have been using since the mid nineties" Kay no ta :D

The conti verticals it came with are great tyres. I have just bought a set for my hookooekoo as I loves them.

Asking the question after buying lol I like it. I have owned my io for over a year now and it's brilliant real no nonsense riding. As for the weight????? Are you mad? It's not heavy at all. I noticed no massive weight saving through using a carbon post and forks as for changing the BB mine has been no problems at all. Just ride it and love it :D

I have the pro neoprene overshoes and they are jolly good. You just need to get a size bigger.

It's not like the World cup was snatched from them by a hand of God moment is it!

I have on-one hubs with planet x wheels on my pompy. They have threads on both sides for screwing cogs of any variation on.

My mate sold his Focus ST to some guy who flew over from Ireland!!!! He paid cash 8O

My lbs can suck a fat one after ripping me off for £5 for a star fangled nut and to whack it in!!!!! I was desperate so paid it. I love online parts as they don't rip me off.

I would report him. Why should he get benefits and a wage? If he is clearly capable of working?

James Morrison at the end of the month (it's my Mrs who wanted to go) Rammstein in Feb

They'd be better off scrapping the cycle scheme!

To be honest the cycle scheme is a con. I know of numerous folk on with ctw bikes that work at least a 45minute car journey away! So they get their shiny 'spensive weekend bike for buttons :( (Ok I am jealous :lol: )

Brilliant I was looking forward to these next year for our ickle one so my missus could go back to work. Childcare is 'kin ridiculously 'spensive.

I wear one but purely for off bike use. It is quite water resistant and the water beads up on it. If you used it to cycle in you will die as it's 'kin warm.

Foo Fighters at Wembley stadium for me it was immense.

Wigan North Western is ok apart from the toilet which is sometimes interesting to say the least :lol: Bryn station is more similar to a bus stop :lol: Same as Garswood etc

It is good as the burn is a good feeling, but after 15 miles it gets a bit repetetive :lol:

What a commendable and spot on post. I honestly mean that.

Well the short span of cycle path I canuse on my way to work is awful. It's v narrow, is a shared with pedestrians (usually ones with more than one dog) and has junctions every couple of 100meters thus making it a bloody pain in the ass to get anywhere! I will stick to the road ta :)
