i wouldn’t bother +1

thanks for the info ash, my friends family live in mulhouse may have to say hello.
i’ve saved your email, i’ll give you a heads up if i make it to the black forest…

@ mamadirt, you do know that you can take the stickers off? :D

@ sheps, not really my thing, but very good work.

i’ve wondered what the black forest was like for riding. any more info on where to ride and stay?

cheers

oh yeah landy, did you miss my smilie on the post you quoted?

That loose = irresponsible in public places

go on then why irresponsible?

do you know how i bring my dogs up? do you know what breed it is? if yes, do you know the breeds traits?
my dog doesn’t **** off chasing rabbits or bound up to people, it walks next to or behind me. he does this naturally, because he was bread to, and knows his place.
my last dog was a pit i guess you’d tar him with the same brush to? although he changed a lot of peoples perceptions of what a pitbull are really like!

no pretty colours but i like it

i hope so? but that dog is a monster!

although going by my dogs parents/family weights he’ll weigh about 90k/200lbs ish.
he’s 6 months and 95 lbs

WTF is that thing??

a bear!

Loose dogs are a PITA Fact

A cleat in the dogs eye socket helps ease the pain unless your paying the vet bill in my experience.

i think my dog would see that as sport! i have one of the dogs above :lol:

thanks geoff1 that really made me laugh.

you were lucky it wasn’t one of these…

But if you enjoy more steep, quicker, technical rides … then bad weather can make a big difference.

the only difference is it will make you a better rider!

yes handling charge is added at the end, 10/15 pounds ish.

i should of read your name before posting :D

fork + shipping + 17.5% tax + 6% duty

i think i have written this at least once a month for the last 5 months…

very unlikely it’s rusted through.
when the frame was painted/powder coated, it was probably not cleaned off properly, leaving contaminants. i had a frame which was clear coated. there was what looked like a thumb print on the down tube. it went rusty and started lifting the clear coat.

Ah whoops. They weren’t stolen…they got moved during a clean up and noone realised as they were in a box. And the shed door got broken without anyone realising. The police were quite understanding…!

thanks for coming clean, made me smile…

3rd time this week…

magura brakes are excellent. but a few more £ than the shimano. loved my louise fr but ended up with xt on the last build and very happy with them to.

Aye, small amount for lubrication,and a shock-shaft virtually full of it for damping duties.

but separate from the air chamber.no?

I’m no expert…
it’s an air shock…

So it is. Do air shocks require zero lubrication then? News to me and I wonder why my soon to be servoced air shock has oil coming out of it.

there is a small amount of oil for lubrication. not enough to make a difference…

the more i look at the hellius ac/am the more i like them! but then all the bikes i like are all a bit industrial
brooklyn, turner, ventena, nicolia

i’m alright going downhill, but I AM the slow mate going up!
maybe an incentive to try harder on the climes?

looks like i’ll have to get a gun :lol:

Date : 26 January, 2009, 2-30pm. Location : Battle Abbey near Powdermill Woods, Battle, East Sussex. A driver saw a big black cat the size of a retriever dog in a field on the Battle Abbey Estate. The driver then took his dog for a walk in Powdermill Woods and was approached by 2 schoolboys on a track from their school at Battle. They were scared, they said they had just seen a big black cat jump across the track. Source = sussexbigcatwatch.

thanks busydog,

i’ve seen a few black bears in whistler and up state new york/new jersey (scary big ****) but have never rode anywhere with lions! i think the plan is to camp for at least one night. hope i’m not the slowest rider/runner 8O

I always carried a Kimber .45-caliber semi-auto in my Camelback when night-riding alone in the mountains, since the locations were almost always out of cell phone reach.

mtn lions and bears!!! **** that i wouldn’t ride in the daytime :lol:

any mtn lions in moab? american friends are planning a trip and very tempted to go.

i take off all the stickers (i would like to be under 12 :() from fork/frame/wheels almost straight away (although still haven’t done my wheels yet :oops:) imo looks cleaner?

I’m no expert…

it’s an air shock…

I save that for the **** on here!

of which you are king…

don’t get mugged at gun point! although amsterdam has changed a lot since then…

looks like a great trip! very jealous.

turner dw 5 spot, it goes down it goes up.

have only had one bike for the last four years. i don’t dj or dh anymore so no need for more than one bike.
although i would like a hardtail…

(joke) i can see why you don’t need a backpack (joke)

where did you start, finish go in-between ? some great pics

+1 khani

deal with turner direct.

Brooklyn did a bike with a Teflon coating. Just like a frying pan!

I have the Latok Alpine and use it for hillwalking in the highlands. Have found it to be excellent so far – well cut and very breathable. Dunno if I’d go to all that expense for a jacket for dog walking though.

everything that is event or paclite is that sort of money. getting wet is getting wet or is the rain wetter in scotland :lol: :lol:

it’s some times cheaper to fly over for a weekend and walk it thru customs. if stopped be prepared to pay the duty if you’re not stopped… not that i have done this or condone it :wink:

i owned a horst link turner and now own a dw link turner, imho the dw is better (evan with the crap air shock)

frame price + shipping + 6% duty + 17.5 vat
