I have being sharing one with a mate for approx 3 years and it doesnt seem any worse than other brands friends have used.
The plastic runners underneath snapped fairly quickly and a few scuffs on the bottom corners appeared after about 6 trips but I wouldnt hesitate to buy another.
One good tip is to pack the sides with sheets of cardboard, this helped it keep a better shape while dragging it around the airport etc

When were you thinking of going?
The Malaga area gets extremely hot in the summer.

I have been there in March and April several times and the weather is like a nice summers day back in the UK

Perhaps they have something ending on Ebay a few days later and will be using the payment from that to pay you?
I know iv done that in the past but have told whoever im buying from.

A relative of mine is in the Armed Response and when they arnt eating donuts they do occasionally follow security vans around, they also double as traffic cops.

Trimix, someone on Dave Gormans show suggested we start eating rare or nearly extinct animals like Pandas, as he thought the supermarkets would soon catch on and start breeding them! Genius, well I thought so :lol:

A few more things to consider there guys, thanks

Ill send him down to the local brokers this afternoon, his instructor mentioned pass plus so we will look into that too.
I have read the stats too and he was fully prepared to pay £1500ish, with my help, but these quotes are taking the michael!

My own insurance has gone up too Martyn, £238 to £385 and i haven’t made any claims either!

will this one do instead?

Its a friends grandson :lol:

I highly recommend sierra cyclings routes, a friend lives in Feungirola and we had an uplift to the TV/ radio masts on the mountain behind Mijas, rode all the way back to the beach, it was awesome!!!

Ah school reunions! It’s just a great time for nostalgia. Remembering all the sneaky cigarettes and fingering the girls behind the bike sheds. Oh yes, that caretaker’s job was the best I ever had

Ha ha nice one charlie!

I went to my 25 yr one by accident a few months ago, I dont do facebook where the invite came from and happened to be in the same pub that night!
It was OK but some of the guys were really bigging themselves up about what they did job wise, some of the girls still looked nice though.

This site is great

Right on the doorstep of Innerleithen and a few good pubs in the town.

Wouldnt recommend Rosetta these days, the guy in charge was a right miserable, unreasonable **** last time I stayed there!

Slight Hijack
If Hainman doesnt want them, i could be interested if the price is right!
I had ordered and paid for a pair from Ribble then got an email telling me they were out of stock!

I tried mine with Fox 36s and while it felt brilliant going down it was awfull on climbs.
I went for Pikes too and it feels great!

Theres nothing there at all!

Thanks Shep, too far away for me then, im in the grim north!

Ive never seen it before!
Flat pedals too! On a road bike, cool 8)
Anybody know where the slap at approx 2.30 mins is? That looks really steep!!

I rode that a few weeks ago on a night ride, its absolute pants and not worth bothering with! 8)

spanishbarry – you are only struggling to breath because you need to lose a few kilos in weight :lol:

If its death trap tandem time heres mine!

Push/ walk up it like we all have in the past? :wink:

Ha ha ha thanks for the nice comments guys, the "future star" is Boltys grandson.
His little strop in the middle made me smile!

I buy all my bearings off this guy on ebay and have no problem with them at all, very quick delivery usually too!

Its not mine but this is a good price
Ebay

Is the family route still open?
That used to be OK for children if you added some of the red.

Or just take him to Stainburn :lol:

What about Gisburn Forest? I took my kids there at that age and did the red, that was before all the recent work though.

Renton

when i do the "jump" i seem to be going off at an angle and landing funny which is pitching me off the bike!!

are your pedals level when you take off?
Apologies if thats already been pointed out, i only skim read the other posts.

I bought one of those from Merlin in Feb when they had a £5 twatter discount
Its fine!

Where abouts is it in Cragg Vale, ill go and try it later today and report back.

They moved about 2 years ago to where they are now.

EDIT. Bolty said no they are NOT moving, unless John aint told him ha ha ha

Dont do the White House route then, it could finish you off :?

I would go with the Peckett Well option, there are two good routes down that you could do over and over, increasing speed each time maybe ha ha ha

Yep you should really MTFU but
Ive had my wife drop me off for two good rides, only because of the children riding with me you understand :oops:
First one is from the White House at Blackstone Edge and do the Resevoir circuit followed by The Rock Garden to Stoodley Pike then drop down to HB to meet her
The other is up Keighley Road to where the bus turns around and push up the hill to Limers Gate and drop into the Luddenden Valley to be collected from Jerusalem Farm
or are you looking for short descents only?

Try pulling it like your pulling the milkman off your mother :lol:

try here dude

After using V8s and V12s for years i would recommend………
Kona Wah Wahs, just put a pair on and they feel much better than the DMRs!
Slimmer and prob a plus for you as they have a bigger platform.

They were a good price too, 50 quid off absolute cycles on Ebay with free postage!!

Ha ha I forgot about the digital dash!
Yep the 2.0 16V was really quick.

I cant believe all these posts and no mention of the MK 11 Astra GTE
Those things were fast!

Yep hes one of those types!
But somebody going too fast on a bike had a near miss with a small child down there, im not sure it was his but he seems to have taken it upon himself to waste his life make it difficult to ride!

The guy making the descent much more interesting actually lives in one of the OLD terrace houses across the road, so massive fail there Hora :lol:

My stepfather looked a little worried after a visit to the doctors to have his back passage checked.
The doc said im just going to insert a finger, my stepdad was convinced he had both hands on his shoulders as he did it!

Try getting a quote from the same insurance co that you use, my daughter got a good discount as a two car family from Churchill and put either yourself or wife/ partner on as a named driver and as mentioned above go for a massive excess.
