    The anticipation of the oof is unbearable.

    I’d also be interested to see a list of claims that were rejected by the regulators. The Bill Butler one still strikes me as a shining example of these MP’s mindset.

    So true. But the “wives” must resolve the other half, not expect the “husbands” to fill the time for them.
    I don’t understand what you mean?

    I had this early on. The Mrs sort of resented the fact that because I had a ‘hobby’ to fill my free time & she didn’t that it was sort of unfair on her. I always said she could do whatever she wanted but it was her decision not to do anything with her spare time which she eventually accepted.

    Yep, you’ve answered your own question.

    A decent set of lights can be your best accessory.

    I used to ride very early or very late to keep riding time up but then my Mrs likes watching shite TV weeknights. Weekends has always been a bit trickier but now Jr is riding a bit himself I can get away with a 2/3 hour blast as long as I then take him out for a trundle after. It’s an ideal ‘warm down’ if you believe in that kind of thing & great father/son time. Just need to convince him that hooning off of everything isn’t compulsory and that being able to land properly is more important than taking off. :?

    second post to big up RRR (who bigs up IWH)? The cynic in me says this guy has more personalities than I’ve had hot dinners

    It’s like a scammer daisy chain

    So anyone who’s not in your little ‘groovy gang’ is either a troll, an imposter or a scammer? Nice, bet you’ve not got enough room in your house for all the Christmas cards you must get.

    How much are you out of pocket to IWH?

    knock knock….

    Why?

    Are they really? – they always look really baggy to me.

    They’re nowhere near as baggy as the humvees.

    Then return the air shock (which may or may not be owned by an insurance company anyway), tell him to stick it and demand either a nice Ti coil or your money back.

    Hand it across the bedroom with your lefthand into your righthand?

    *slow claps*

    Having met RRR I can tell you that you are about as far from being right on that as you could imagine.

    Tell me again, what/how much have you lost to this IWH fella then?

    Not sure how long it’d take you get to Edale. Cheap & reasonable campsite (Coopers I think) which has a cafe & shop and the pub over the road does good beer & food and doesn’t care how muddy you are when you arrive.

    Local riding’s excellent with plenty of route options.

    LPG is favourite. it’s a trick used by mobile tyre fitters to get truck or heavy plant tyres seated properly out on site. Seriously dangerous but cool to see it work. Some want it banned as it’s killed a few folk over recent years.

    Recently having been tempted to the dark side I was called a “two-wheeled c**t” on my second ride out.

    I may have been offended if the ‘c0ck au van’ wasn’t smoking & talking on the phone at the same time and I hadn’t been in a marked cycle lane.

    On-One smoothie+5 headset has a lower stack height of 20.1mm. Works well too.

    Do Truths still snap if you look at them strangely?

    I hope not. That’d mean dealing with Freeborn which is the main reason I’d not have one! :wink:

    well the ellsworth truth is 5.6lbs in medium

    Blimey that’s a pound heavier than the ASR. :wink:

    There are some issues (allegedly) with the basic Shimano ones but the XT’s work fine and are much, much cheaper than XTR.

    So I’m guessing it’s all still quiet on the South-Western front or have any goods/refunds been received?

    I had a similar situation a few years back & was advised at the time that right of access means exectly that – you are only entitled to use the designated route for access to/from your property.

    We had been storing our wheelie bin in an alley we used – it didn’t block it and we were the only people that needed to pass it – but the owners of the house next door had us remove it as they didn’t want it there when prospective buyers came round. God knows why ’cause you couldn’t even see it from their property.

    Somewhere on the side walls you’ll find a directional arrow showing which goes which way – they’ll not be the way you’d expect them to from looking at the tread pattern. The Nics are the same & I’ve come across more than one rider who didn’t like their front end grip but had the tyre on the wrong way round.

    Bandwagon’s still rolling then?

    Fingers crossed then mrman.

    I’m still waiting on something posted to me on Tuesday too (from someone else) so perhaps the P.O. are on a go slow this week?!

    I’ve just finished reading this thread and am amazed that some people seem to be giving this guy a wide birth.

    I’m guessing you meant ‘benefit of the doubt’? Well I, for one, have not had a problem in dealings with IWH & there seem to be more on here that fall into the same camp than those that have. It is strange that both the currently aggrieved parties have not refuted any of the details he has provided and I would be interested to hear from either as to whether they do now have their proof of posting?

    There’s also the case of lungman who says the same guy did the same thing to him last year. I’d have thought that would’ve been all over the forum & made folk wary but have no recollection of it being raised before this thread. I may be wrong but that’s my understanding.

    Surely we should wait for the end result, not buy anything advertised by this member & hope that those that are owed get their goods or cash back?

    I use Park ps10. Very stable and simple to use. Fairly heavy though as it’s solidly built.

    Same here.

    Assos if possible but also keep a look out for “S Series”. They are actually Assos but ‘old technology’ according to them. I picked some up last autumn and have to say they feel & perform just like my 3 yr old Assos ones but were only £30ish.

    Mmm long running thread, had a similar thing with a certain ‘Will J C’ before Christmas, he got over 1k from a bunch of singletrackworlders, this guy seems like scammer. If he’s reported his visits to the police he must have an incident number I presume, reckon he’s got in too deep and is now shi**ing it

    So proof of posting to each of the two unhappy buyers has been provided, plenty of satisfied dealings mentioned, neither has refuted that they were offered refunds & you still post inflamatory crap like that?

    How about questioning the sanity & actions of the retards that have paid his mother a visit. Sanctimonious muppet, let’s hope your life never has any personal upset so that like minded folk can’t rip into you on a public forum.

    Round up the posse, the bandwagon’s back in town.

    nobby, im not that type of person to be honest but i kind of have exhausted all the options. Its just like that southpark episode!

    I understand that mrman and, whilst you are far from the agressor here, there are some that take things too far with their ‘internet hard’ personas. To abuse or threaten someone in virtual land is a criminal offence but it seems that it is perfectly acceptable to a few.

    I really hope you get matters sorted and understand your frustration but it may be best to take it off forum for now.

    If you’re not involved or directly affected by the situation then lay off – all you’re doing is making it worse for those that are.

    hows that then?

    By making the seller look & feel like sh*t & the buyers feel like they’ve definitely been ripped off. It’s between those parties only unless you intend on buying something from him yourself.

    Sad that it needed explaining really…

    Cheesy feet, as I said before look at his Bikemagic account there are numerous pictures of him working in a LBS full of gear. See my link on page 3.

    And if you look closely at those pictures you will see prices in $ and the name of the shop is Trailhead Bikes which is far from Plymouth.

    Jees, it’s like a witch hunt & conspiracy theory all wrapped into one. I’ve had dealings with IWH in the past & not had a problem. If I did, I certainly wouldn’t be looking to an internet forum to whip up such a frenzy of hate, at least until I had all the facts and had exhausted all possible solutions.

    yep, rather than bleating away on here why not get all the outstanding stuff picked up from your house by couriers, send everyone their tracking numbers and refund those that want their cash?

    you seem to be on the end of some shit – do you really think YOU are the victim?

    Reign it in! On the basis that his last post stated that a) he was on a public PC and b) he was simply responding because of a text he received from RRR then clearly he’s not at home to do either.

    If you’re not involved or directly affected by the situation then lay off – all you’re doing is making it worse for those that are.
