Dunno if this is still available but I think mine is great http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/psa-berghaus-paclite-jacket-for-43-great-for-biking

My Mary bars are flipped on my Pomp. I think I may try them the correct way round though as I can’t quite make my mind up whether I like it or not :)

Allonby is probably the best in the area and it run for several miles towards Silloth. Fantastic views over the Solway Firth.

+1 We stopped in Allonby over New Year, beach in the early morn and then the lakes for the rest of the day bliss :)

Apparently the system went kaput when I ordered. A v nice lady on the phone is posting mine out today :D

Still not received mine :( Gonna give them a call.

Ok stupid question time! Do time cleats fit on these shoes???

Got mine today and I does like the green colour (wish I had a Genesis flyer to match it with :lol: ) Good shout that man!

*spaff*

Put it this way, if it was a black or muslim group that had been holding a conference outside parliament, would it have been acceptable for the BNP to turn up and attack them. Of course not, so why is it acceptable for the reverse to happen.
Fight the BNP, campaign against them, stand as a politician, form your own politcal party etc, but don’t attack people in the street because you don’t agree with them.

My God he speaketh total sense!!!!! Groups like UAF are no better in my opinion (dons flame suit) They seem to oppress anyone who doesnt agree with them.

On One Pompino Fixie = job done :D (well depending on how perverted you are)

Ordered 2xcycling tops mon got them today. Touch wood their service has always been good.

Ordered a smashing green one :) It will do for commuting in.

Needed a new bottle, so other goodies are a bonus :D Good call!

I will soon have a 28mile round commute so I am fearing for the worse as I eat anything in sight when I have been out for a ditance ride or run.

Found their tech support to be staffed by chimps. We had an issue with our broadband with we couldn’t get connected. It was blatently a line problem (turned out to be an rf filter in the master socket), after 8 weeks and god knows how many phone calls I got farked off with their script of have you turned it off and on again etc etc….. I switched to zen (who at the time where only a smidge more pricey) and et voila I got a knowledgeable person and a bt engineer sent round to rectify the fault it took a few days. Best thing is plusnet still expected me to pay for my lack of broadband service and wouldn’t release me from contract even though they couldn’t provide a service (they are responsible to report to BT wholesale for faults) 1 letter to trading standards later…..1 MAC to migrate with!

I run 48:18 on my fixie and it’s shweeeeeeet :D it’s 32:16 on my MTB and it does get a bit spinny, but you mtfu through it and regale in the knowledge you have no gears to faff with.

Well I am about to call the social services. You clearly display all symptoms of being a bad parent. Feeding a child pizza?! How could you!!! I for one am totally appaled and would have you stoned.

*All of the above may be false

If you can do a hope/USE beating product and not be ridiculous on price then I hope the good denizens of STW will support you.

I would be one of the interested.

A bit of respect & understanding for customers would go a long way rather than the often cliquey – club like – attitude

My lbs feels a bit like this. I wouldn’t mind but I bought the bike from them and have taken it back to them for some repairs. When I took my bike in on Fri to get the rear brake sorted as it was weeping, they noticed it was missing a spring retainer clip. When I said I was told it was ok to run it like that the guy laughed?? I wouldn’t mind it was that shop I rang up and asked to see if it would be ok and they said it would be :lol: I dont think I will be going back there!

I rather liked the look of this in the flesh. Had a good old nosey when I was there getting my Pompino the other week.

Get an on one pompino I have had mine a week and I am in love lol. Its got everything you need pannier and guard mount wise, I bloomin fly on the thing fixed is so efficient. Plus with no gears to faff or weigh you down it makes riding simple and fun. Here endeth my fixed sermon lol

I think the old stuff before they “sold out“ is meant to be brilliant as proven above. Spend your cash elsewhere chap.

North face is street wear at best buy Mountain Eqpt, Rab, Paramo or Montane for decent stuff. I have a Mtn Eqpt Ogre jacket and its brill and my Rab vapour rise shell is just the trick too.

Had one about 6months and cant fault it. Its easy to get on and off and is great as u can still use the boot :-) I bought mine as returned stock for 80quid

I am over the moon he made it! The bloke is one of my heroes and is an inspiration a true Brit and a true adventure. He is a great figurehead fo Marie Curie too.

I have only bought one item here and was quite impressed. I checked out the users previous posts to see if they seemed legit or not.

Why not use your clippers without the guard?

Yeah was gonna call them anyway was curious what you guys had done.

YGM again you smashing single speedy chap

YGM and cheers :-)

Thanks for the help guys :) Will get them bled. The front brake is way spongey so could do with bleeding anyway.

Cheers :) Wonder if a bleed would sort it??

I have a superstar carbon post (bargain from the classifieds) on my Genesis io and I have had no probs with it slipping. It is way more comfortable than the original post and I want another one for when I get my Pompino.

Well done mate its always refreshing to hear about justice. Hope the owner gets hooked up soon :-)

It is most infuriating how this brave regiment have been treated. Maybe they should have gone to Calais smuggled themselves onto a lorry and claimed asylum! The UK would be their oyster then :roll: This country is screwed up beyond belief.

I went from a Kona with a SS conversion to a Genesis io and I blimmin love it!!! My Hookooekoo has hardly been used since it came along lol. 32 on the front is normal, I run 32:16 and find it more than capable on the trails. Climbing is a lot harder but it will really improve your fitness. I amused some full suss Santa Cruz folk when I cam scooting past them all fully rigid and pedalling like a loon lol(I am by no means and nowhere near a cycling God by the way!!)

I am not seeing any negatives in this at all. Time to start shopping.

Mike you pervert lol. Get some carbon forks and rid your mind of this boingyness nonsense.

Wow this thread is a God send! We are expecting our first baby in July :) We have been going round in circles with what pram to get. I think the out n about nipper looks great value and gets good reviews, I can’t believe we have never come across them before. We could get that for outdoorsy stuff and a lightweight McClaren type one for the shops jobs a good ‘un.

I tried FS albeit many years ago and I prefer the ride of a hardtail. You generally do have to think a lot more riding them. They can be quicker than fs in isome circumstances eg I beat my missus uncle on a run down as there was stuff could roll over fast that his suspension slowed him down on absorbing. At the end of the day it’s personal preference. I love riding a fully rigid singlespeed off road as well as my geared front susser, but that’s hell to some folk.
