    Rosetta used to be great but last time I stayed there it was been run by a real miserable b*****d and the guy in the bar wasnt any better!
    I stayed at the one down the road in Innerleithen last year, much much better all round, clean and the women in reception was great.

    try here, the service guide is near the botom of the page in a PDF and there are videos on youtube!
    Its really easy to do, dont bother with different weights of oil, just use 15 wt top and bottom.

    Shameless plug here, if shes a size 5,5 and wants bailey buttons i have a pair on Ebay ending in 3hrs currently at £50!
    And yes you should leave her.

    As organic said avoid any of those sites, my daughter bought these from Uggs of london and they sent the wrong size then refused to accept them back!
    looks like she is going to lose money on them, silly girl :roll:

    Silverfish have offered a crash replacement, but its quite a bit of money! I think a loved 2nd hand one will have to do.
    Surely frames are made with thicker tubes on the driveside to allow for chainsuck! Or dont they think of us blokes that ride all year in calderdales gloop 8)
    Shepleg- Dont scare me, my other bike is a Hustler!

    Most of our customers consider trousers without a PTU(permanant turn up)
    are not proper trousers, especially on corduroys.
    Cheap plug :lol:

    What about, part way up Ragley then take the Zig zags to Popples, along to Heptonstall, down all of the Blue Pig, up to the House of Shit, back along the road to Pecket and down to Hardcastle Crags?

    If your not local call in Blazing Saddles.

    Stumpyjon has it right!
    Its not far if you go over flower scar.
    Come out of the station in Tod and follow the road from the car park, dont go into the centre but under the railway arch and follow Doghouse Lane up!
    Keep on this road for about 2 miles and you will cross a cattle grid, then about 200yds take the dirt track up the big hill follow this to the end then coast down the main road, there is also a track that runs parallel into bacup, have a look on the map for this
    Todmorden

    Edit if you zoom in on the map its called Todmorden Old Road

    This is my Stiffee, oh er, best hardtail ive owned
    [/URL]
    Also got a Hustler which is built up fairly burly, it climbs OK, even better if i remember to lock the shock out and it flies downhill, try one before you buy though as both are a bit overpriced new!

    It all depends on the volume you send.
    We looked into it at work and was too complicated, we are a small mail order company and they wanted us to send 500+ letters a day!
    Some days we do but others we might only send half a dozen.

    UK Mail had similar regs, we tried them and they are rubbish, only called when the driver could be bothered and im convinced they never sent the letters, as we got no response from a 5000 item mailshot we sent with them, not even a go away im on the MPS!

    We stuck with Royal Mail, give them a call they have all sorts of new systems to save money!

    I used to have one, very similar geometry to an Inbred but with much better paint!
    I ran it rigid as a commuter and couldnt fault it and only sold it as allegedly 3 bikes is too many!
    Think i have a pic somewhere ill see if i can find it for you.

    Ive just got a pair of these
    http://www.merlincycles.co.uk/cycle-clothing/cycle-gloves/chiba-drystar-ii-gloves.html
    Horrid colour but look at the price!!
    They are quite thick but still feel comfy.

    rumbledethumps, i wasnt very clear,sorry, what i meant was i drilled the stops out so the outer cable fits through.

    ahwillys – i tried a Kona dawg before i got the Hustler and it felt horrid and im far from a bike snob, i onced owned a Planet x Armadildo :D

    I have an 05 medium bought 2nd hand and yes the cable routing can be a pain!
    I dremelled the cable stops out and run full length outers, problem solved!
    It climbs really well and descends even better and as suggested build it burlyish!
    I have 140mm Pikes on mine which feel about right,
    Would buy another tomorrow without a doubt.

    I have just had two cards done, somebody tried to move £1400 from my Tesco CC to a bank and bought a Vodafone top up on my Visa, both were spotted and new cards issued!
    Im guessing they were taken via my PC as both get used infrequently!

    as Mr frosty said the others you list might not be any better
    I sold an 853 Inbred and replaced it with a Cove Handjob and boy do i regret it!
    The Inbred was so much better, the riding position on the Handjob just didnt feel right and didnt seem to handle well at all, could be all in my head though ;-)
    I tried different forks, bars stems and all manner of set ups and hated it.
    If you decide to sell and its a geared medium/ 18" please let me know!

    I ran mine with a set of Orange F8s, they didnt seem as heavy as the On Ones they replaced.

    thisisnotaspoon – Not on a high horse at all, the area where the pumptrack has been built is near a quarry that has been used by trials bikes for decades and isnt the best looking bit of land, i wonder if the guys on motorbikes didnt have clue what they were riding over, just seemed a bit OTT to call the police
    And yes i have been involved with digging a trail so do know how hard it is!

    As far as i know its never been legal to ride there, but nobody seemed to bother if you did,
    Dont leave your bike lying around next time :wink:

    You really rang the police?!
    Why not try and speak to the guys on the motorbikes and explain what they had wrecked?
    Hope you always ride your bike on bridleways and never on a footpath!!!
