    Jesus Christ, dont buy an extra phone line. Connect to your mobile phone hot spot. Yes they are good, I have two. Only downside is the app market is a bit shiit but you can side load them.on anyways.

    The best way to get more money is buy showing them how much more money you making them.

    I usually just check online prices of the shops on the net, go to the shop that gives the best service and say ‘store X is selling product A for this price, I’d rather buy from you guys, if you’ll match the price I’ll buy it from you now.’ Never had a no, always had a discount and I get to use the shop I like. I only do this on higher value items or it’s scabby imo.

    How the hell do you stop a water bottle falling out on a. mountain bike doing single track?

    I had my ctd tuned and larger volume spacers fitted. The standard ctd shock was the only thing I disliked about the bike. Pikes and a rear shock tune and I love it. The standard builds suck, I bought the Frame and built it up, cheaper.

    I prefer the purgatory too. I didn’t like the smorg till about the third ride due to being cautious at first I found it lost a lot of grip when breaking. It’s not a bad tyre by anymeans I’d buy another for the summer.
    My favourites.
    purgatory
    high roller
    Hans dampf
    smorg
    in that order. The smorg will outlast the high roller and the Hans dampf twice over.
    the purgatory last longer than all of them with almost the same grip as a highroller, I’ve never had a tyre last so long.

    Ahh wrong one. The calipers fouled the 2014 with 30s. The discs shouldn’t have that issue.Giant Defy Advanced Test Ride & Review.: http://youtu.be/XsVawU__jZM

    You can fit 28s on. It will take 30s just not without changing the breaks for long reach calipers. I love the new defy 2015 range

    Just got back, I’ve been a few times and the river boat cruise evening dinner on a glass panoramic boat is amazing. Upgrade 130 Euro each for better seats. The best night I’ve had in Paris.

    I’ve got a five and totally see why if you can’t go hard on the downs you want a bike that’s more forgiving on the climbs. If I were to sell mine for something short travel it would be replaced with a yeti sb5, a Santa Cruz solo or a giant anthem x1.

    The thing that gives it a bad rep is the abuse and the ‘I’ll take more I’ll get bigger attitude’. When you consider that with the right genetics you can look like a men’s health cover on less than 1000mgs of anabolics it’s mad to think there are guys who will never win a show on 5000mgs of anabolics, 15-30iu of hgh, and large doses of insulin that will make them diabetic for life, bald, distended stomach, kidney failure, carpel tunnel ect….. It’s like comparing a junkie to someone who did ecstasy once at a party.

    One thing that’s not been said though is the importance of having low body fat before starting, less than 12%. The first time I took steroids the results where great, second time while 17% body fat I looked like a big red chipmonk.
    The hormone oestrogen is stored in fat and will convert most of the test and that’s where you will get side effects and they will be much less effective. You will look like a big puffy version of yourself. Diet right down first and then eat lots but eat clean while on.
    Test enanthate you can inject less often, once a week even but you will hold more water.
    Other test you will need to inject every third day.
    Deca with test will make you grow quick but again it’s bloat.

    I haven’t taken anything in a long time but if I were to do it again it would be short ester test, primabolan (if you can get it legitimately) low dose tren and 5iu of pharma grade hgh a day.
    I wouldn’t take as low as 250mgs of test as was suggested, it will work great for 8-12weeks but after that your natural test will totally shut down, the gear won’t work and you will be a hormonal hitch.
    All that said, don’t ask on the internet or gym rats, bodybuilders are among the biggest liars on the planet. Find a competitive body builder you know and trust and ask him.

    You need to check the wheel bearings spin with your fingers, then the washer is fitted on the spindle, then insert the free hub,push the seal in, check the free hub spins by hand, insert the end caps, then the casette, the cassette lockring (do not over tighten). If all that is right I have no idea how it could jam.

    Yep your missing the washer, when you pull off the free hub body there is a washer that usually comes off with it, you don’t want that to come off, it a washer that sits in between the sealed bearing of the wheel, then the washer, then the free hub body, it’s only as wide as the inner race of the bearing and allows the wheel to spin independently of the free hub.
    If you still don’t know what I mean I’ll find you a video or take a picture of mine.

    Try:
    Washer between the wheel hub and free hub body is missing
    the seal is popped out of the free hub.

    Sounds like the washer to me though
