Cheers crusty :) Looks like Gatorskins win!

I'd recommend a pair of Schwable Marathon Plus and a healthy case of MTFU

????? I commute 150 miles over 5days on a fixie so I consider myself manned up ta :D
Mr Bedraggled I will give your tyres a whirl :D Will drop you a mail.

The conti sport contact looks a good compromise

Anyone got any opinions on this?

Aghhhh so much choice :lol: Cheers guys.

How weird. Last night I was thinking how hot the charger gets and that I wasn't happy about leaving it unattended due to the chance of it catching fire :? This isn't good at all will be charging it at work methinks (plus free leccy :lol: )

I have had the moon on a stick but it lacked the Marmitey taste I required.
Ok then a durable fast rolling tyre :D

Doh I meant surly tugnut (I am an idiot :lol: )

The kitchener trail always puts a smile on my face (maybe i'm easily pleased or maybe I just like riding :D ) It's a bit eroded in places which can make your line interesting and there are a few tactical tree stumps :lol: Go forth and enjoy.

I wouldn't bother with them mate. Mine snapped in no time, so I haven't bothered with them. I keep meaning to get a singulator or something similar for mine.

I've gone back to simple candybar phones as I find them more robust and less prone to crashing.

It's good clean family fun. He doesn't need to swear or be vulgar so it's quite pleasant to watch imho.

ffs does it really matter what bike you take??? Jesus H! What happened to just riding? You sound like a bloody women who is getting ready to go out!!! Sod mincing about, man up, grab a bike and go!!
Here endeth my lesson :D

Rab pfffft!! I bought a rab softshell only for it to rip in the armpit after about 3 wears. Mountain Eqpt stuff is the bomb da shizy nizzy! But I have heard nothing but good stuff about Alpkit.

Ooooh good shout on the toastymap site. I wonder if they work with my Etrex Legend (the black and white one)

Stand upto him. Don't let bullies get away with it. Seriously why sohuld this pleb push you out of a job?

I quite like my time freeride zs they give me a warm fluffy feeling in techy bits :D

I moved from North Yorks to Ruskington (not far from Sludgford) and I journey out to Sherwood pines which is good for a blast, but I would prefer some natural stuff. I rode the Cranwell CX the other week on my rigid ss and was **** :lol: 'Twas ridiculous how fast they went!! I would be up for meeting like minded mountain stranded folk

Gem are a treat Iused them for the first time at the weekend tokk less than 40mins from picking up the phone to someone being with me!

DX Magicshine I commute for 15miles on Lincolnshires finest unlit roads and it's blimming bright.

Some good free stuff there guys nice one :)

Fixed on the road ftw!!! I run 48:18 on my pompy it's ace :D

Well I run one of these "cheap bits of rubbish" :roll: Exotic forks on my Genesis io with a 180mm rotor and it's great! I don't understand what the issue is with them? I mean just because it doesn't say White Brothers or Nukeproof it's therefore garbage?? I have rode black routes no probs on my super jey cheap forked rigid ss with no probs. Buy the exotic one and enjoy matey. With regards to the max rotor size I have no idea but I have no issues with a 180mm.

Nice to see schooling isn't wasted these days!

First series was ace 2nd wasn't too bad then it went blimming stupid! You want to watch Generation Kill now that's war my boy :lol:

I had a fun discussion with someone at work, as they were ranting on about how cyclists should be using the cycle path. The cycle path in question is v narrow, is a shared right of way (it's great fun when you meet plebs walking about 6 dogs at once on it) and has oodles of junctions which is just what you need when trying to make progress to work. I tried it once and will never ever do it again it was more lethal than the road :lol:

Which Lumicycle bag is the right one? Is it the one for the elite???

48:16 ftw with smallish hills :D I just get out and pedallllllllll.

Oh God yes!!!! I don't know what it is but I am partial to bit of Dita :) Emily Booth is smoking hot too!!

I heard last week that the Lightning will be flying again. There is a group doing a similar thing to what they did with the Vulcan.

I got an email with a tracking id on it which you could use to see your order state. It took just over a week for mine to arrive. Royal snail did deliver them.

Congrats :) Our little monkey is 2 months old next week. The sleepless nights thing isn't too bad really :lol: I still get to go out and ride so it's all good :D
Enjoy being a Daddy it's ace!!

I usually check how long the have been a member for and what they have posted. I have had no trouble from the classifieds personally.

Yup they are 'spensive but me thinks they will be worth it :D

Wooot Standing in Manc :D
Cannot wait! Was youtubing them at the weekend so 'cited!

It baffles me at times at how little space some drivers give cyclists too
some drivers need to check this out http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/TravelAndTransport/Highwaycode/DG_070314
I look like a mobile lollipop man in all my dayglo and still I get plebs getting ridiculously close. I have ammended my route to avoid a notoriously bad road as it was getting a bit ridicuous. Licolshire drivers are quite possibly the worst I have shared the road with. I regularly see the loons dicing with death when I am in my car I mean is a possible fatality worth 10 minutes??

I am currently hunting for new insurance and direct line should say "we are 'kin more expensive than most"

I was sat with a right mardy lip due to the Mrs having this crap on.

My ickle monster is 7 weeks next tuesday and I know me and the Mrs are going to have some fallouts :lol: . I am in the old school don't pick them up every 5 minutes mind set, as from what i have seen pampered babies turn into right pains in the butt. If they are not in any harm, not hungry, not soiled and are perfectly safe let them cry it's not doing them any harm is it. Pandering to their every need will bite you in the ass at a later date.
That's my 2ps worth

A guy I worked with had one. It is quite a cheeky knock off but it isn't an iphone by any means.

To be fair though the way they slaughter animals in the name of "religion" is **** cruel ( is that a jihad coming my way :lol: )
