Ive got pro2 and 819s, got nothing but praise for them. No experience of the shimanos though.

I read something about "head trauma" for jens today, i wonder if thats linked to that idea that was mentioned in a thread the other day, about the helmets that have two shells allowing the inner one to slide around?

Or you could fit one of those trickstuff excentricker (or however you spell it) Basically a retro-fit EBB.

resign.

asap.

Trailmonkey – AGREED.

And i was suffering from the heat :(

Every bit of writing ive seen of Lemonds, he comes across as a bit of a tit.

I see, well it looks great! might have to keep my eye out for one.

Real butterflies?- That'll upset some!!

Its ok, i think theyre dead.

;)

I was about to post this ;) Unbelievable really, will make a lot of money when its auctioned off.

(Thats if Lance doesnt total it)

you Polar Bear killer!

+1

You now need to go and plant at least 50 trees to make up for this indiscretion.

But in all seriousness, it will probably cost you about £400. Sorry to be the one to tell you this.

It's a Charge Duster

With an EBB?? didnt know charge made one with one of them!!

I really want to polish my Msisle, but i dunno if i could put up with the amount of polishing.

This is the exact reason i havent polished a frame, there isnt really an effective overcoat. I think the best way is to simply polish it up with a wax based polish of some sort and re-polish on a regular basis. Got any pics?? Id be interested to see it.

Im getting way too into this race, I watched the whole five hours today :oops:

Great minds think alike ;) I've just been on ebay and im now watching every 27.2 thomson that isnt a buy it now :D

I would say a lack of tire pressue and pie boy riding style leads to that.

I would say thats what happens when you dont ride like a fanny ;)

Ive got 819's, love em. Im pretty skinny but like to blat through rocky trails (the number of dents in the rear wheel show that) and have ridden dirt jumps, 4x tracks, downhill tracks all without worry :D I highly recommend them.

Cheers tinsy!! thats a bargain.

Still tempted to save a bit more and get a thomson :D

I say dayneez, probably monumentally wrong.

It is on ITV4 now :D Pity about all the adverts though.

Who knows what the pedestrian had said to him?? could've been threatening him, just because he's "old" doesnt mean he's harmless!! from that angle it did look a bit mental but sometimes i wish i had the balls to do stuff like that.

No one can complain about that title? it gives nowt away.

thisisnotaspoon wins this round.

winging tarts

Like smee??

;)

I think people were complaining about people putting spoilers actually in the title?

High rollers.

:D The discussion is not stifled, the title is. Stop being spoil sports!!!

Fixies are rad, acting like Nathan Barley is not.

Its not "stifled" in any way!! its no different to when news reporters tell you to look away now if you dont want to know footy results, this is a complete non-issue. Troll.

Doesnt take much effort to type spoiler does it? see i just did it.

Flatboys right.

Looks great!! makes me want to build another bike…

As sad as noticing it though cynic-al? ;)

Ive ridden 100 miles in a day and i'm 19 :D

Oh, and i find your comment on 20 year olds oinly riding trail centres mighty offensive ;) Theres nothing i enjoy more than getting out into the cambrian mountains for some real mountain biking.

I live near to Thetford and know fully well that nowhere within the locality is any form of Mountain Biking. Thank the lord im at university in mid-Wales. I would never enter SITS or similar due to the fact they are just riding round a field, if someone decided to do a SITS in the Dyfi forest however…

You'll be fiiiiiine, anything more than that and you'll be over-biked ;)

Good tyres, bit slidy but not Break-away-with-no-warning slidy. I used them on wet slate, deep mud and all manner of shit.

Was about to mention the Dyfi ssstu ;) Chatel/Les gets Looks like one hell of a place to ride!! and those downhill cart things would be the death of me :D

If thats not a joke im never using a carbon component! :D

LOL@the last few posts.

On the topic of the darkside thing, its called banter. Lighten the **** up.

I've got it :(

Tennant was pretty good tbh, will be interesting how this new one compares.

Girls are brilliant.
