There is only ONE King Kenny, and he ain’t a wendyball player!

^^^^ this.

Yep

I got knocked off my bike a few years back overtaking stationay/slow moving traffic, on the right.

au contraries I was knocked off my bike overtaking stationary traffic on the left using a cycle lane. someone, who had passed me just seconds before, flashed a car coming the opposite way across the front of me into a car park.

FWIW I prefer to pass on the right, and it was only the cycle lane that made me do different.

Having been in hospital* in a ward full of men in their forties with seriously **** one more drink may cause total liver failure and kill you problems I’ve been very wary if drinking to excess.

* in my case not for liver problems

Try 4% carb drink. 8% might be pulling water from your body into your stomach.

here comes the science…

Sorry, wrong thread 😉

Serious question, whats the point, I mean except from looking like a transvestite.

Serious answer, trichophobia. Interesting explaining that one away at the gym.

Small Block 8

there’s reason enough to bin it. never ridden a tyre with so little lateral grip.

climbs are much more fun since I lost a shitload* of weight.

Those Veet reviews are proof that metrosexuals are full of wit.

If hair shorts ate good enough for George Hincapie they’re good enough for most.

Otherwise, up to the HRM.

Keeley Lockey?

I always tend to be quicker on my SS. I suppose its because I become lazy on my geared bike and just drop down the gears when it gets tough, where as on the SS I just go for it.

this

120mm white fork. They suit Maguras. SRAM XO. Silver hubs, rims (optionally white) and finishing kit.

September 1991. GT Karakoram

Ny the time Id finished upgrading only the frame and forks were original, and even the forks had been modified by Dave Yates…

Henrik Djernis?

In the early 90’s people didn’t ride with clogs, they used these. Where did I put those spikes?

Brant was referring to the favoured footwear of myself and Guy Kesteven at NEMBA races in the early 90s. Somewhere there’s a picture of Guy towing me behind a tandem at Eston generating sparks.

Wish I hadn’t lost all my NEMBA results when I left the ex.

Anyway, Will Cogger…

But if you raced in clogs, it didn’t really matter.

I never actually got round to screwing cleats into them!

Eats meat

beef. c_______s

Those paint splattered GTs weighed a ton before you started adding suspension forks and mechanical disk brakes.

Tinker Juarez still rocks for Cannondale no??

Steve would still like his pump back.

Don’t want a family. cant meet women my age who either don’t have one already or are desperate to start one before the change.

Surprised noone has mentioned Karen Van Meerbeck…

Karen Van Bareback

Goes for a long hard think

Darren Tapp once lent me a go on his GT Xizang LE so is alright in my book

Jamie Hibberd?

came 2nd, beaten my an end to end challenge, Pretty happy with my 1000+ miles per month i’m doing just now every month

/waves

it wasn’t a challenge tho

The lad who rode downhill for Fat Chance was never as good as he believed.

I think his first name was Elwyn, but can’t remember his surname. I’m talking 1992. Don’t recall seeing him in 1993, I’d remember the tantrums.

Jason Shackleton was a decent downhiller BITD

The lad who rode downhill for Fat Chance was never as good as he believed.

There was some handy Tim Flooks wurzel riding for GT. Wonder what became of him?

Need to see it next to a Rema Tip Top puncture repair kit before casting judgement on the colour.

mark king

are you trying to put him off ?

Those muscle cramp articles are interesting and would suggest I get less cramp just because I’m fitter.

I can accept that 🙂

You sweat out lots of water and a very small amount of salt.

I hate subjective statements. Some numbers from skratch labs.

400 to 800 mg per litre of sweat. 1 litre of sweat per hour at 150 watts. 2 litres of sweat per hour at 250 watts.

Real food, especially chorizo.

NFT is best enjoyed at speed on hard tail or XC oriented full susser

IME YMMV ect ect

the world is nuanced not black and white. therefore I think it’s silly to say that “all tourniquets are bad m’kay”

none of my first aid kits include a tourniquet

tourniquet trousers were developed by an MD

I never like frames where the seatstays join the seat tube higher than the top tube.

For that reason, I’m out.

Me too. Neutral axis of all tubes should pass through a common point. Failure to observe this rule was observed as the reason for failure during destructive testing of one of my engineering projects many years ago. It has stayed with me ever since.

Tourniquets did not go out with the Boer War, or have I misread ^^^?

Some modern combat trousers (Blackhawk) come with in-built tourniquets.

Who do I trust more, an MD or TJ? Not a tough call.
