cool – a trip to boots is now planned!

Dear Mark, another day and nothing. I’ve been buying STW since day 1 and have been a subscriber since about issue 10. That, I know, doesn’t give me any special rights, but it does indicate my loyalty to the mag.
Over the last year or so the subscriber delivery dates have slipped behind the shop availability dates (well they bloody have with mine) but this issues non appearance has become beyond all excuse. Ban me if you want for bad language, but I’m **** sick of reading excuses and apologies, when is my magazine going to arrive?

hey lazlo53 – your dummy and teddy bear are still on the floor and you’ve still haven’t got a copy of your beloved mag!

its RM you should really be complaining to – or is it the weather, or maybe the xmas shoppers, no, maybe thatcher…

ah! now he explains it…

Take the uppers and internals from some 2011 Sektor U-turn (150mm model) and run them in some 2010 Rev Dual Air (150mm) lowers?

Then put the other parts back together, and have two sets of working forks?

wouldn’t leaving the sektor bits with the sekor lowers and the same with the rev’s = two sets of forks as well 😉

get her to suck on some Jakemans Throat & Chest menthol sweets, these help with my dry cough

and look out for expectorant products with guaifenesin in them, it helps thin the mucus

leave the house?

open the windows?

that is….. not pretty

soz, but i speak from the heart

and i thought this was going to be a rant about some manc garden nursery

i’ll never understand why people have children, then ship them off to nursery FT (don’t know if spawnofhora is FT though) when they are still babies

Triple S in bingley?

first round voting results were:

England 2
Netherlands/Belgium 4
Spain/Portugal 7
Russia 9

prior to this England had been rated as having the best commercial and best technical bid – so what was the point when it comes down to some random fifa officials to vote?

congrats to russia….

england didn’t get past round one… <shakes head>

so much for the 8/13 odds reported on tv earlier today, they could not have been more wrong – does that mean spain/portugal beat england in the first round? if so fifa stinks…

ps i’d of preferred going to spain/portugal to watch the world cup than anfield tbh

makes me want to buy a sniper rifle

my question is this…

what the hell has this to do with mountain biking?

why didn’t the redneck use the hacksaw on the metal bar? or the handcuffs..? d’oh!

and its february 2011 as the anticipated due date for the trail pedals as well! february!

also an early august orderer here as well

not sure about design problems though – as they are being sold in the states and other places around the world

i just wonder actually how many pre-orders have been made with CRC?

and why they appear to have trouble securing any, same goes for some of the 20mm revs

ta!

like rocking horse poo then!

ratzilla!

got a ten year old hotpoint which at the time cost £330, still running fine, gets hammered with biking crap, no maintenance, no breakdowns, no ten year warranty

thats 63p a week

are the x-firm springs available for the coi u turn version yet?

order has been split now, but December delivery for the Reverb WTF!

can the fittest one in sales be female please?

stupidly i ordered one on the CRC website a couple of weeks ago along with 2011 revelation fork – due date was yesterday..

now they are listed out of stock with no eta :/ and my order is in limbo (processing) with the fork in stock and the seatpost out of stock…. argghh!

ditto khani – too many excuses, when they cocked it up themselves

ex LBS in chester – suspension bearings installed with the wrong threadlock, we'll have to drill them out – my reply "it was your mechanic that installed them!"

ex. LBS in manchester – you've cross threaded the cover on the middleburn self extracting crank bolts – my reply "it was your mechanic that installed them!"

tend to try and do it myself now, at least if i **** it up i know exactly why

arse! i'm not in chester tomorrow…..

good luck pete, now that you are further down south the wifi should be more plentiful

no way marks for the singletrack, the fireroads do have signs though

you have to get lost to find the best bits though, there is loads of singletrack, the difficult bit is linking them together

this thread should really be entitled…

"TOO LOW PRESSURE IN TYRES – NO NO NO"

PSA – if you want to pre-order an event T-shirt from Morvelo for pick up on the weekend; today is the last day to do so…

just noticed this on the website

princes sandwich spreads worked for mine

its really not going to make much difference – but i'd stick on a 60a

cheers all

tried a 19" dialled before and it was fine on the climbs even at 140mm (pikes)

got spare talas 36 and just wondered if they would be too long and make it too slack – say 69degree with a pike, then 67.5degree with a 36

the alpine doesn't have enough reach for me

the cameraman was probably getting worried at that point as well…

Conservative x10…

just to annoy the liberal front that is STW

Bump

awwww…

<pedant mode> stick it in the chat section, don't really give two hoots <pedant mode off>

Transition Trans Am?
