looks cool….for a fixie!! 😛

i had the same problem with my hfx9s – i just let a bit of fluid out. just unscrew the beeld nipple and force the pads in, and a bit of fluid will dribble out.

should sort it.

if not your pads are faaaaaaaar too wide

TM thats a great pic!

clubber – i like it, im gonna use that one!

ha ha a good way to start the day

copter tape came off my anodized frame. p1ssed me right off!

mad as a box of frogs.

i like the re-enacting biblical scenes bit too – very good

‘because that’s just a dangerously insane fairy story’.

lol, thats a great quote!

wynatts pass – castleton. FACT

ive been chased by dogs quite a few times ont bike – most of them were collies come to think about it! all i do (if ive got time) is jump off and whip the seat/seatpost out – raise it threateningly and shout. 99% buggered off at this point but evry so often you get one determined sod that gets a good whack.

if the owners get arsey then they can get bent – should keep nasty dogs on a lead, its simple as that.

i love dogs too – but ive got no probs with protecting myself against them

i had a pair of their alu bars – good quality and good price, i liked them apart from the bend/sweep didnt suit me that much

wd40 and a cloth

meeeee that elete stuff is very good for stopping cramp, i used it all through last summer

tomato soup with some salt after the ride, and pleanty of council pop to wash it down.

but i make me own drink which is

half litre water , half litre fresh orange/apple juice and 1/4 tbsp of salt – 1/4 tbsp of sugar. job done

Correct DBW, just wear whatever you normally wear –

you cant get lost, its not that big really. i always found my way round – and that really is saying something!

totally agree firestarter. ive got no sympathy for them at all,

if you play with feathers, you’ll get your 4rse tickled

i really like it. very technical & good fun – not typical trail centre style riding though!

ive always had excellent customer service from orange, but give em a ring if you need to – dont bother with email

beechams never does anything for me other than make me feel like puking, so i’ll give it a miss

so…is it a bad idea to train with a cold then?

enfht – hmmmm interesting suggestion, if i dont get any better by tomoro it may be my only option!

ha ha cheers Olly, im not normally ill – 2 days of work ill in 2 years – but this bout of man flu has hit me hard and fast, it just came out of nowhere!

and yes i will try and MTFU!

theres an odd ball that wont touch door handles at our place, think he has ocd or something, a proper germ freak.

it just really bugs me – i dont know why though!

yeah i think it might do actually, my main issue was that they pinch flatted very very easily

my MK’s were dog sh1t – i’d recommend aything by wtd (currently using motoraptors = very good), or maxxis advantage, or specialized enduro pro tyres were very good too.

im a peak district rider by the way – so gives you an idea of terrain im used to

yep – that is nice, well done!

Me!

ive got a 52 plate ‘C’ 1.8 club, had for 18 months, love it – great car. reliable, fairly economical and very comfy.

and yes you’ll get a lot of car for your budget!

i found the hex more comfy than the xen – and its a great helmet. i might even be a tart and by the 09 one just because i can!

i like – looks proper beefy!

i looked at this, nice looking – but maybe a bit small/cramped for all day riding. especially as im quite tall

ha ha funny as ****. love the last pic!

whats disco black like? is it metal flake?

pure soap flakes? thats what i use on my WP riding gear

nice. im a big fan or 5’s, might add one to my shed in a few months

footstomper – definately sounds like my native yorkshire – you must ive near the border!

stick a pic up mate

thats a shar pei not a mastiff, much more agile for pullin 360s on 😀
