I think the tension on that caravan cover is a bit uneven.

Nice bike though. 8)

Gave the first play of their new single on Radio1 today. Very good tunes for chilling too.

750mm Funn FullOn on the Prophet, 762mm Azonic on the SXtrail and 685mm easton ea70 on the Specialized P2. The eastons feel stupidly narrow now.

Harry the Spider earlier today

Think that looks a lot better than the 456C actually. Don’t know why, just does.

Hmm, I wonder what angle they’re going for in the marketing?
The “Katy Perry” technique perchance

Except LC have been around a damn site longer than Ms.Perry.
Would have to go with DS’s choices, good taste that man.

If that is genuinely the case, abolish VED and stick it on the cost of fuel. That way you pay for what you actually use. Then its linked directly to emissions, real world fuel use and actual road use.

I love how people get so pedantic about car tax. It still amounts to the same thing. Call it what you like, but its another tax on the motorist to go along with the fuel duty/tax and all the rest of it. Call it Road Fund Lisence or Vehicle Excise Duty or whatever the hell you like, it amounts to the same thing. The change to VED was/is just another attempt to give it a coat of greenwash.
Clarkson is Clarkson, its what he does and if you don’t like it, don’t watch it.

5 and 1/2
1x big bouncy bike
1x not so big bouncy bike
1x jumpy HT
1x nice weather road bike
1x crap weather road bike
1/2x frame, forks, wheels etc for another big bouncy bike lying around. Should get it sold really.
Need a pub/hack bike really. 😉

Saw it at Core, got a quick demo. District rear light is stupidly bright. You will be seen definitely, but I suspect the odd motorist may run you down anyway, as he can’t see anything after being blinded by aforementioned light.
As for the new front one, oh my god, its just ridiculously bright. Football stadia floodlights sprang to mind. Currently only run the top mode for 10 or 15mins anyway and then automatically drops down to 1800(!?!)lumens. I guess because of heat issues, or it’ll flatten the battery in another 15mins. Impressive? Yes. Overkill? Absofrickinglutely.

Think so, caught a stupid cold type bug, so taking a couple of days out the saddle and making sure I get it out the system asap. Back on it tonight though, circuit training.

Steve – I’m entered a 3 of the events, but due to work stuff I can’t control, I can no longer enter the Eastridge event. Is it possible to get my entry moved to the Kielder one instead?

QR is only to provide tension against the frame, wouldn’t worry about a bit of play inside the axle.
The aksium hubs are adjustable tension similar to cup and cone style hubs, even though they have cartridge bearings.

But they always come in those net bags? Can’t recall ever seeing oranges sold by the punnet. 😉

Nice pics. Is there a term for a collection of Fives like that? A flock of Fives perhaps?

I’ve also noticed how much everyone uses ‘epic’ now. When did that start? Worse still, I’ve caught myself doing it! 😳

Vile looking thing, take it away before my eyes melt. please!!

So long as your having fun on it, it doesn’t really matter.

Currently up to 6 personally, but one of those is very much in bits with the full intention of selling it.
Specialized P2
Cannondale Prophet
Specialized SX trail
Santa Cruz VPFree
Trek 1.2
Cannondale CAAD10 ultegra

Just got the CAAD, trek now the winter bike, its a slippery slope.

Thats what you call cutting it fine.

😆
bastid!

Wychwood Goliath followed by the best part of a bottle of McGuigan Merlot. Leaving the JD for another night.

I’m guessing that liability insurance will take up a massive chunk of the fee. Only guessing though.

I’m down for 3 of them, couldn’t really afford to lump out the cash for all 5 in one hit. Hope theres spaces left closer to the time. Went for the ones I think will sell out quickest. Looking forward to them, just need to work on my skills and buy a dropper post.

I’d be up for the Marlborough ride. Count me in for that.

I’ve got the RS Revelations at 150mm on mine. Amazing fork and doesnt make the front end flop over, unlike my mate who has a pair of Fox 36 floats on his. Don’t have any pics at the moment.

I’m guessing its an ongoing study then and as yet no proper conclusion has been yet reached?

For Cod’s Sake in Cheltenham

I agree entirely, the big venues do sound crap – foos at wembley was a prime one – but with a big act, you don’t get much choice anymore.

Never Ending Story? Most of those 80s fantasy films actually.
Can’t believe someone said Stardust, brilliant film I reckon. Course I won’t say it too loudly. Might have to find a copy of TPB, never seen it.

From what I’ve seen, the cost of tickets is reaching a silly level. Are people still prepared to pay? Are all venues sold out?
Seems to me the big gigs are selling out within seconds – however I’ve been to a couple (Oasis/Foo Fighters @ Cardiff springs to mind) where there have been loads of empty seats, but lots of touts outside with handfuls of tickets. So my guess is the touts are artificially increasing prices.

Spectacularly so. Foos at Wembley a prime example, wanted to see KoL last year, but got beaten there on the phones, and the theres a million and one of the things on ebay 10 mins later at vastly inflated rates. The artists/management probably don’t really care as they’ve got a sell out. I won’t pay the stupid prices, but obviously plenty others do else these guys wouldn’t be in business.

Absolutely bugger all! More of a reader than a poster. Like to think I can probably help on some bike related stuff, but other than that………

Six has got good reviews, but as said above what kind of riding. Synapse is definately worth a look.

Good work guys, roll on spring.

Sounds pretty plain simple and straight forward to me.
As you were…..

I was going to vote:

C – don’t care…

… Until naerdowells post suggesting that the posted pic was somehow inappropriate.

So, B, for the sake of common sense.

The latest Virgin ad is more racey….
Amen – B +1

Pearce Uplift at Hopton, brilliant fun. Looking forward to the next one.

Just the one if driving. 4 is probably my limit on the bike, get a bit wobbly after that. Having said that visited a beer festival last summer and had something in the region of 8. Took a very long time to get back. 😆

putting the kiss of death on it, but Prior is up to 66, reckon he might go further, don’t think Bresnan will get a good score but looks like he could be there a while. We’ll pass 540. I’m happy with it. Will be interesting to see how far the aussies get by the end of the day.
