The black things are discarded bags of rusty old bearings.

The kanji are the symbols for the numbers 6-10-6, but they probably mean something different put together.

So it probably just says "66" then?

If I were to fire an aeroplane from a suitable gun,

Go on then…

Kaesae – forget the bearings now. Nobody cares. When we need new bearings we'll just buy some (not from you, obviously).

Please feel free to start an amusing thread on a different topic though.

This is like another Kaesae thread, only not as funny.

Bring back Kaesae!!

I wear one like this every day. Nothing special.

It's all to do with the quality of your bearings. If you don't believe me just ask Kaesae.

Bushings here too. Kaesae proof.

How much honey do you get through??! Does Winnie the Pooh live with you?

Kaesae's song

you sell bearings

He doesn't, he only gives them away.

I wouldn't go near a BBQ with bevvy on the go if I where you either!

Maybe if you BBQ'd the pig you could use some of its fat to grease your bearings with. Just a thought.

We want PROOF of the improved performance though. None of this "it's better cos I say it is" crap.

Got any theories about bearings you want to talk about while he's not here?

Where's he gone? I'm getting worried…

I have another idiotic idea that I would like to voice who wants to hear it?

Hell yes!!

How about we get an arse and an elbow. Then get kaesae to tell us which is which.

Kaesae will know. He's an expert.

Nope all Vanillas are black.

I had Hope ones (new style) and they were always coming loose. Same with the seatpost QR I had. I know other people who have had the same problem.

Is it a Hope skewer??

Oh no – you've asked a question about bearings!

Next time you change your bearings remember these words.

Kaesae is a mentalist.

LBS: "Yeah, it's better than the standard stuff."

Me: "How's that then?"

LBS: "You'll have to go and find out for yourself."

…and don't bother coming back with evidence that proves me wrong because I'll argue with you FOR EVER!!

Not only am I colourful a superb bike mechanic and an expert at getting the job done. I also have loads of stuff to give away, like the bolts and chain device and gear cable I forked out earlier, as well as three hours of free work.

What the smeg has that got to do with ANYTHING?!

You're weird.

I've got some 09 Vanillas for sale (RLC, QR15) :wink:

…my mate

Don't believe you.

I will be using the Kona full sus to do a demonstration DVD to show people how to service their Kona's.

You've already got a dodgy Kona frame for doing vids with though, remember??!

(No apostrophe in Konas)

Best get them off yer mum's kitchen floor before they get hoovered up though.

Kaesae – I think we've exhausted this topic now. Will you start another thread please?

(And this time make it wacky will yer?)

No thanks!! I prefer gingers. Like Kael :D

Come on Kael – bed time now.

That's "wear".
