Or that article is not written very well…. 😉

From January 1st there will never ever be any more steel inbreds in its classic state , a beefed up sturdier 2010 CE beating evolution model is coming around April but if its classic springy steel that rocks your boat then nows the last ever, final, never to be produced again to get a STEEL Inbred frame.

I read that as the inbred will no longer be steel…?

LOL, ok lads you win 😆

Uplink – there are numerous articles/evidence that says otherwise to those reports. Dont ask me to find them as i am not a H+S expert, just someone who has heard it first hand on a training course. Better to be safe that sorry though and just not use a phone when filled up eh, you know, just incase…?

What did you say your qualifications were again?

Sorry, i didnt realise i had to be a University lecturer to post an opinion on a MTB forum….

You go ahead and make a call whilst filling up – make sure it's on a still hot summers day…. 😉

Using a mobile on a forecourt is lethal, despite what the average STW online H+S expert might claim otherwise. I occasionally work on a petrol forecourt, as a result have been on various health and safety courses geared towards forecourt dangers. It has been repeated many a time using a mobile is a serious danger, mainly due the risk of a spark been created through increased static electricity (we even wear anti-static clothing/footwear when in close contact with fuel to minimise this risk)

An example of how a mobile phone exposed to fuel vapour can be shown here. Wait until the guy climbs on top of the tanker to lift the lid, whilst at the same time answers an incoming call… 😯

Not trying to be a armchair/online legal expert, but im sure Jedi wont be able to give too much away if someone has been charged and is due in court…..

Nice one!

As far as i know, although i reckon at this rate all lifts and the new Gondola will be out of action tomorrow.

Base camp level update – light sleet. Recent reports above the tree line are all Col's now blocked, and alpine refuge huts cut off until first light.

3-4 months.where do they get made,venus?

Taiwan i would of thought, and to keep costs down they would be sent here via ship – which probably takes a while…. 😉

Vehicle was mis described – a possible criminal offence. Speak to these people, who will advise you on the best course of action to take, and will pass the complaint through to Trading Standards to consider for investigation. BTW – keep all paperwork you have, and make notes of any conversations, etc.

That is typical, i paid £190 for some Recons recently (which are good to be fair) but then these show up for not a lot more.

Looked into this before xmas, and Amazon nearly always come out cheapest. Check on a daily basis as their prices can vary day by day.

The stupidity of the old bill is amazing at times. I once managed to trace somebody (quite easily with a bit of common sense) who had used my credit card – i found their full name, DOB and addresses, etc. Gave all this to the coppers but they didnt give a sh*t, despite them been quite impressed on how i had found the info out.

Fair play to you for persisting and getting this far.

Another option not yet mentioned;

Revenge is a dish best served cold… 😈

I was nearly right about the old bill then…. 🙄

No cheaper steel option on the cards then?

Brant – any plans for a 29er frame?

I have run a 2.2" Bonty tyre on a 717 rim, and found it rolled around a bit with higher pressures. Never came off though.

Cant go wrong with Dell IMO, myself and about 50 people at work have them as laptops and not an issue (famous last words!)

Im using a Inspiron at home which i got on a really good deal here – http://www.dmxdimension.com/

30cm this side of the NW Alps rocketdog – will be making use of the new Col d'Barnt gondalo to access the upper slopes!

Got some OE 351 Recons from Je James recently. Only ridden them a couple of times, but so far feel good, only downside they have a steel steerer which adds a bit of weight.

Merlin are doing them cheap i saw the other day as well;

Used them a couple of times, no worries.

If you are after a dock to put into an amp, look at these;

Much cheaper than buying the official the Apple products, and more functions.

Dont trade the Corsa in, you'll get more for it private sale. Clean it up well and it will sell easily. Unless of course there's something wrong with it and you want rid of it…

Who's 'becham'?

Riding the towpath from Worcs – Brum would a pretty hardcore commute and not that straightforward with a number of tunnels to bypass, etc. Nice in the summer i guess though.

LOL @ the bitter Scots 8)

Snowdonia National Park without doubt.

That train is always rammed – as others have said get the right one that stops at just a couple of stations otherwise it takes an age with it stopping every 5 minutes.

Fair enough TJ, i was genuinely interested how you knew so much compared to the average STW user. In this thread you are pretty much spot on BTW 🙂

Another day on STW, another ill informed consumer rights thread…. 😉

TJ – out of interest – how do you have such a knowledge of consumer rights (some of which is correct, some less so)?

😯

This?

Was that the Wellington by any chance Gary? Great selection of beers but a few dodgy characters in there IME!

Sorry to hear that, i'll keep an eye out in North Worcs.

Where's our very own resident consumer adviser TJ when you need him….? 😉

Reality is the '6 year' rule came about due to case law, however that doesnt mean everything has a 6 year 'warranty', there are far too many other factors to consider on a case by case scenario when making a claim for faulty goods. You could reasonably argue that a TV should last for more than 18 months, and you could demand a full refund/replacement from the retailer you purchased it from under your civil rights as a consumer made under the Sale Of Goods Act. (However, depending on circumstances you may have to give the retailer the opportunity to repair the TV – your contract is with them not LG)

Speak to this lot for more info rather than relying on a group of ill informed MTB'ers on the internet (sorry guys!)

BTW – the actual Trade Descriptions Act no longer exists and wouldnt apply in this instance anyway.

Purchased some forks recently, delivery took about 3 days and i was emailed tracking info, etc – good service IME.

Great when they are working – had a Classic 120gb which lasted about 5 months before constantly freezing. Was about to buy a new 5th gen Nano until a mate bought one and that crashed as well from the outset. Could well be isolated incidents, but kind of left a bad taste for me so im looking to get a Sony instead.
