    dumb chav…say no more.

    and yes sorry for the kid as its exactly what he/she will become in twenty years time…

    But we all want the best deal on things and sadly society is going this way (admittedly this is extreame example) no one is happy to pay top whack to local shops any more and thats what ("kind of") fuel all this..

    Oh dear i can feel the rant building in me too, better go and sit in the darkened room for a while………

    imho
    a flimzy article based on a tiny bit of truth, like everyother article in our country's pathetic press. all this does is create anguish and ill founded hate against ordinary decent people.
    most trail damage, be it 4×4 dirt bike or mountain bike or even horse is doen by thick idiots who have no care for the land or the others who use it, and what happens all the "good" people bare the brunt with bans and closures. then what happens? the same people who didnt care continue to use the trails on the sly. problem still exists and contiunes but the majority loose out due to the minority.

    more education of trail awareness and respect for other users would do a hundred times more good than this hollow story everwill.

    loved the 4×4's in car parks line too – what exactly is that trying to say, you have a 4×4 therefore you are a bad person?? ( and i dont drive a 4×4 byw )

    oh it makes me so angry, i cant see that anything in that piece will ever bring any good to the sport or even those who appose the sport.

    and she rides an mtb but write such an ill informed piece??

    (rant over) 😉

    Keep it up and add comments like, god thats so bad! there must be a serious problem somewhere etc etc,

    Confessing just wastes so much potential mileage

    guy i knew started a new job years ago and was bored, so kept borrowing tools from the grumpy old men he worked with, then returning them to the wrong people (all when they wer not around).he then sat back and enjoyed the fireworks as the accusations and threats were dished out to various "thieves"as they were discovered :-)!

    rest and get it sorted asap via doctor's referal to the hospital.
    i injured mine and left it for years as the swelling slowly went down and i did the "im alright now" thing.
    every time ive been in to be seen by anyone the main question they ask is
    "is it giving way?" if yours is you will get seen asap as this must mean something bad.when i used to say no, then they wernt so botherd.

    well its a sweat based question i suppose.i want to be dry as poss, from sweat and rain.i dont mind a bit of rain.recently its been nice but in a few months being wet in summer clothes will be cold.frien has a thin waterproof gilet and thought that was a good idea.heat and sweat can get out the arm holes and keeps your torso dryish.
    lots of people talk about waterproof shorts (baggies) are these good?
    also if your wearing bib tights later in the year, say november do you notice much temperature change when they are wet as the are quite thin?

    warning tho steve,thetford is very sandy and when its wet (shurly it wont be wet this weekend-its summertime!) theres a ton of puddles.water and sand eqauls a wonderful grinding paste all thru your drivetrain-enjoy!
    the blue (easy-family) run crosses the main road to the west.on the west side of the road is lots of unmapped stuff that is often used for racing if you fancy a look/explore.

    lead is thecnically better, but there is a knack to doing it.other thing is rust will nevercome through lead…..but it can come round it. It only really exists as before plastic isopon type filler was invented that was used for everything.
    if you want a good repair you have to remove ALL rust! if you do this it doesnt matter what you put in as there is no rust left an as long as it is protected from the atmosphere you will never have a problem again.
    in short lead isnt a wonder fix, its an old school fix.

    get someone who knows there stuff to weld/braze some onto the frame of your choice??
    im sure its obvious but i guess you would remove any manufacturers stickers and paint it an unapealling colour like matt black to stop thieves?

    I have one!! I love it! and it does creat more conversation than almost anyother bike around. So many people just cant get over the shop it came out of regardless of the spec.people in my local club look and go…oh its actually not bad is it! cracking spec and i thought the frame would be heavy.id love to strip it and weight it but the tappy tap test tell s me the top tube and down tube are paperthing in the middle thats for sure. tripple butted. only negatives are saddle is very firm and the conti speed kings are a bit thin, otherwise i love it.light to.blew away a guy on a lightspeed whilst climbing last week.
    The only problem you will find is getting one.demmand is outstriping supply.
