How you instantly tell the metal of the man is how he reacts to having the piss taken, and you lot failed at the first hurdle.

that’s all very well in the world of yer happy go lucky jack the lad types..
but for some folk it’s a bum or be bummed world…
I’ve had to bum five people today just to put dinner on the table..

best post ever!

Why can’t everyone play nice on here ?

G.R.F – so you’re a travelling downhiller/mtb enthusiast/only just heard about dropper posts/ bigoted troll… as you were.

i don’t post as much as i used to, to many threads turn into a bitchfest.

there’s a lot of good people on here and only a few cocks! but they seem to post a lot! maybe they crave the attention?
tj is very opinionated/passionate (i don’t always agree) but never comes across as rude or abusive. (stubborn tho :D ) if more people behaved like him we could have some great discussions/arguments without the childish name calling!
sorry to single you out tj.

love my dropper, doesn’t suit everyone but i guess it depends what and where you ride.
was surprised how often i use it.

yes a little extra fettling but there’s **** all on the telly…

“rarely even drop the seat for mega steep stuff….its way more fun and challenging and slower”

fify

minion front, high roller rear. since 2004

have tried other tyres but always end up back on this set up for the summer/most of the winter. use swampthings when it gets really wet.

if the fella on the phone had said the above, they wouldn’t of lost a sale.

thanks for your replies

thanks wwaswas,” the might be refundable” put me off.

so the deposit is refundable, maybe the fella should of said that instead of might.

anywhere else to buy a specialized in london?
maybe i should wait for the concept store to open in covent garden…

Though it sounds like basically it was the mentions of the shop that motivated him to do the right thing :shrug:

i’m guessing the shop owner has made him do the right thing?

do the right thing! give Buttscratcher his money back or pay to make it right!

unfortunately Freetown Sports, Hull have had there name tarnished by your bad selling practices.
why because you work for them…

i’ve been looking for the same thing, with out much luck.
found lots of industrial shot blasters, i want to leave it raw so am a little concerned about how it’ll will effect the aluminum finish.
had a steel frame shot blasted and it left a very fine rough finish on the frame. this didn’t matter as i was getting the frame power coated and gave a good surface for the pc to stick to.

i’ve nitromosed a frame but would like to avoid doing it again… :cry:

i prefer this

oh great another pissing contest :roll:

Do you think he deserves it?

yes he was on a road bike! hope they booed everyone else as well!

i’m sure if it had been ianpinder waiting for scunny to make things right, the pitch forks would already be sharpened…

will try to get there, look out for me!

you can do the dcg mod to the rp23 (look for the thread on the turner forum). it increases compression, stops it bottoming out/blowing through its travel as much…
2011 5spots have a similar mod as standard.

for me the rp23 was crap, better after the mod but not great. the rp23 was my first air shock so may explain why i thought it was crap. putting the ccdb on transformed the bike and i didn’t notice the extra weight, only the feeling of extra traction…

i have the opposite opinion to sanny. i had an old rfx hl and prefer the dw link

running the rear shock on the soft side can cause the rear triangle to interact with the seat tube apparently

Someone I know is awaiting a new warranted frame for this very reason

i checked clearance (bottomed out no spring) when i fitted the shock and again when i fitted the offset shock bushing. (offset bushing moves the rear triangle closer to the seat tube)
no clearance issues.

never heard of this issue on the turner forum? pics?

£60-£70 and should be available very soon?

:roll:

1 1/8 offset headsets are available now and more coming soon from cane creek and works components.

as for the 5spot, not perfect but very,very good!
with a 160 fork and one offset shock bushing ha=67 bb 13.8/9
when i can get a offset headset, ill drop the fork to 140 (525 a to c) it should keep the ha about the same
but lower the bb a little…

name calling, have a touched a nerve…

cos deep down you know road bikes are shit

and their must be road forums you could use? or are you afraid of embarrassing yourself in front of real roadies…

pastcaring – another fatty with jealousy probs??

funny, riding my mountain bike stops me from getting fat! if it was a nice mountain bike a may of been a little jealous…

think it says it all at the top of the page,

singletrack MOUNTAIN BIKE magazine!

maybe find a road forum?

looks shit! just like every other road bike!

good choice Goz

@ susie

was paddy looking after you? good lad but he’d be the first to admit he wasn’t a cook.

we did a season the year before in papy (sp) the girl we had was a terrible cook, and wouldn’t take any advice
on how to feed us something edible. you were lucky you got paddy.

as for AE never again!
you’d be better off with http://www.jollygood.com/Morzine/S_Home.html

crap name, good people

get yourself one of these,

then everyone stops visiting!

such an obvious troll, didn’t think anyone would be dumb enough to reply!

oh wait i forgot where i was…

Do i need

a road forum?

silverpish suck

http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/turner-09-for-2010-prices

funny how they unloaded all their supposed 2010 frames to crc/merlin a month later!?

seems a top notch forum.

you gotta be kidding right?

I have a medium 2010 and I live on the south coast. I get into London pretty regular
I’m in the peak district this weekend but could probably arrange something next week?
Email me if I can help

Looks like stw made this bed by reopening this thread!

I can only guess this thread was reopened to **** with GRF business. Same as posting the ban on twatter.
What ever he wrote in a private emails is exactly that private.
This thread is 100 times worse than the original spd/gay thread!

Double standards….?

But I’m sure stw are happy with the response!

the hate on this forum never ceases to amaze me!

he’s name not greg french is it? the worst payer i’ve ever had the misfortune to work for…

he put the company under owing me a lot of money, and than rang me the next day to see if i wanted to work for the new firm he started that day!

there are always people out there that will get your money for a price.

good luck! hope you get what your owed.

What are we, southerners…?

you wished! :D

you have my sympathies! never good not getting paid.

i hate it when everyone is screaming when i’m trying to shit myself quietly!

the last couple look real scary…

Sod the “rules”. It’s about treating people as you’d expect to be treated. Get out there and ride where you like, when you like, with who you like. Treat everyone you meet along the way well and help fellow outdoor users get used to the fact that its really not a problem.
Most of ’em under retirement age never seem to think there is any issue with us being there anyway. They expect and accept it.

Don’t hide away under cover of darkness, start working on their expectations and normalising our presence.

ride where you want to, if you get told to leave don’t be an arse about it, just be polite and go.

i had a land owner come up to me really pissed that i was on his land. i was very polite and not an arse!
he calmed down and we chatted for a bit, turned out the last lot of bikers he tried to talk to just abused him! if they hadn’t been arses maybe he’d have been a little more open to letting bikes through his wood!
