Mefty – Can you run calibre along side a normal amazon library?

I prefer my Kindle for ease of use.

I travel by foldy bike and train to work and this makes life a lot easier.

It takes up less space in my bag and it’s easier to slip in to a pocket if i need to move which i frequently do due to the bike.

a good case is essential and the amazon own one is excellent.

The cost of up to date books is horrific though.

I’ve always had good service on the uplift but I agree the lunch time thing makes no sense.

I think that a pump at the top in the hut or by the uplift queue would be great.
there are plenty of companies selling public use pumps now and indeed work stands.

Can’t wait to go back in a couple of weeks.

Just saying….

Try a bit of Mucoff or similar, I dowse the lower parts of my car and the wheels in it before i wash it and the dirt just slides off with the jet wash

for the BPW crew, just leave a bottle by the uplift queue, makes life a lot easier.

Has someone been to FOD when it is dry then?

I thought that was just a myth…

I did it on my previous bike a Lapierre Spicy by copying the location of the model from the following year.

Worked out fine.

Can’t get a drill in to where i want on my latest bike Saracen ariel or i would do this mod to it too.

100% Brisker gloves

In LDN that’s know as a Shotters phone.

Don’t get caught by the MET with one of them.

I think gloves may end up being the solution.

Vibrating snake oil,

It’s fun to watch girls play on them

I recently got an x-tools star nut setter.

Wow, what a truely satisfying tool to use!

If you don’t have one and foresee ever having to fit a new star nut get one!

And a telescopic magnet, them things save your life so many times!

This happened to me and a mate when we were on a stag doo in brighton only we were in the ladies!

i use:

34t Uberbike NW ring

Zee Clutch mech on a wide range 11-36 cassette

Gamut SXR top and taco

This is hands down the best combo for me.

I have an ariel 162 and i like to jump and hit rock gardens etc with abandon and this is a very secure set up.

I tried a nw and clutch only but it kept jumping on rock gardens.

I had a specialized top guide only and that worked well but i got the SXR to add the bash protection.

He is legit i have bought brakes, post, gears etc off him no problems.

It’s worth noting the hours of recommended use when buying the chair.

Had crud racers for a couple of years, they are good, take ten mins to set up but not hard.

Only issue i have is i forget that the rear guard is on there when wheeling the bike about upright.

I would pursue the GP line to get a referral.

They will try to put you off with waiting list times.

It must work as i have had my schedule accelerated in the past and received good quality physio at a time that suited me a few years back when i tore the cartilage while trying to lever down a wishbone on a car to do a shock change.

It clicked for a couple of years but the locking was stopped by the physio.

Now i don’t even consider it an issue.

Be like Andy Dufresne, write a letter a day, they can’t ignore you forever.

look up bikebitz http://www.pinkbike.com/buysell/1657875/

Have a chat and see what he can come up with

how much money do you have?

its janring no space

just tried its not working.

Trinity near the prison is trustworthy.

Had several cars serviced and MOT’d there.

pick up something simple and single speed for ease of maintenance

having used various bikes at the local pump track a decent dj bike is the way to go.

this is mine :)

you will be fine on a standard length one at 5’10”

i’m 6’2″ and have a large or long frame.

Have you considered a Kansi 3twenty?

The 20″ wheels are far more comfortable than the 16″ on the Bromptons.

IF you are riding on typical british roads i would wager that the kansi will be a better ride.

The Kansi is currently £330 from most retailers.

Have you had a saddle fitting?

Get to Corby Adrenaline Alley and enjoy.

I had a Monarch plus debonair on my 2010 spicy was sweet as.

I have had good results with a Chiro as have family members.

A very good friend is an Osteopath, he has also had good results with me and friends.

The Chiro is very immediate relief.

then any workshop bits on top of that like T handle allen keys and chain whips and that.

Its called FOX IRD but i can’t seem to find it on the app search.

I do have it and it does work though!

http://www.ridefox.com/content.php?c=app

Find a dry cleaners close to work and negotiate a deal for regular use.

Thats what i have always done so i can ride in whatever.

I have a Troy lee casual jersey and either madison waterproof shorts or some slim fit chinos to stop chain snags.

made loads of difference to mine.

Wicked vid where were you shooting?

i find they keep their shape better than normal socks so they feel more comfortable than normal socks when its soaking out.

I’ve had the misfortune to stay in the Crown hotel in MT.

Terrible hotel, i had broken furniture, lights which worked depending on how hard and how frequently you flicked the switches.

A corby trouser press with the plug removed but left on the floor.
Two lamps but only one set of sockets

Metal windows which would not shut flush.

The bikes were heavily locked up down stairs.

I would always go 160mm if you plan the uplift days.

Have you considered getting the suspension tuned?

IF you spend most of your time on tame trails it makes sense to have a firm set up with blow through for crazy days.

Then when you are off to the Alps for a concentrated get the bike tuned to suit.

Once you get to know your local suspension guy it will become a much less costly exercise.

I don’t get the random level pull issue but i do get the upside down issue.

If the bike is upside down for a period then the levers will pull to the bar a couple of times.

I need to bleed them properly.
