Count me in please NBT! New baby arrived last friday, so should be allowed a day out by then!

Come on then! £120.00 from me.

RIP Andrew, we will remember them. Heartfelt condolences to you and the family, i know they will be devastated. Quis Separabit.

And they're only £93.99 each!! Bargain! :lol: No doubt they make you faster than a fast man on "Es and wizz"

You may have bought a Braze on Mech. Can't tell you without pictures though.

On Ebay, size 42 to 48.

carbon Troy Lee! Vas Costen Bitte!!!!!

Yes, full on over the bars down the "Beast" in the peak on the last sharp right hander. I still suffered a bruise to the left hand side of my face where a rock had protruded past the length of the chin guard. The chin guard took the weight of me and the bike (i was still clipped in) and is still intact! The only reason i don't wear it all the time is that it's a bit warm in the summer and lets face it, you look a bit of a tit riding normal trails with a FF on!!

It's just a rumour! i've had my Met Parachute for two years and i wear it during the winter when riding solo in the Peak. i've had a few over the bar crashes with it and it has saved me from a number of trips to A & E and dentist bills. It does what it's designed to do. (Awaits TJ)

The Met parachute is ok, but the chin bar is quite high if you,ve got a long chin (like me). The new "urge" helmets (Google it at urgebike.com) provide more protection around the side of the head in their Enduro version but i don't think they have a UK distributor yet.

DT78 is correct. The cap preloads the headset bearings and must be tightened first, then the stem should be alighned with the front wheel and the stem bolts tightened.

Thanks Jules & Chris for a great ride on Saturday. I've just about sobered up now. Top photo of me there Pook, but the one of me on the ground would have looked even better no doubt! Great ride in fantastic company. Can't wait for the next one.

The "Manx Missile" breezes it again!

Hi guys. I'm coming out to play but will have to shoot off at 1 'o' clock. It's my birthday tomorrow so bring me lots of cake please! (only 42 years young before you ask!)

+1 for the camelbak lobo. Two decent sized pockets and you can fit a pump in with the bladder. Good ventilation on the back and a waist and chest strap. i ditched the waist strap as i found the chest strap sufficient. i paid £54.00 for mine.

They should be posted on Flickr tomorrow. Search "mtbpix" and look for the no fuss events photostream (10 under the Ben are there at the moment). There should also be a link to them on the No Fuss home page at some stage. Great event as usual! Well done to The boys and girls from the Manx Mountain Bike club for a great result in harsh conditions yesterday. 8)

Hands up those that voted labour for the last 13 years! (Rushes off to spend this months pension on nice new shiny bike bits!!)

IHN, remember: "if we do a good job tell everyone else, if your not happy with our service tell us!" I'm sure the good chaps at Eighteen bikes would like to hear your constructive criticism. What aren't you happy about?

The only reason for pushing up jacobs ladder is to turn around at the top and ride straight down it! Don't do it. They won't thank you!!

i've just got a set Of RR's and am running them tubeless. they are not very confidence inspiring on the loose stuff, but there is a noticeable difference in rolling resistance. But there should be at £45.00 A THROW. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Ha Ha, Poor troll. Move up north you shandy drinking puffs!

I bought a very nice stainless steel Hope BB on saturday to replace an original FSA BB that only lasted 6 months. Comes in a range of colours as well. silky smooth but a tad expensive at £69.00 from Royles in Wilmslow. The good thing is that the bearings can be replaced.

I have the same wheelset and all you need is some valves (about £6 a piece) Tubeless tyres! and a bottle of stans sealant. The best tip i can give you is to rub some fairy liquid around the rim edges prior to inflating. This helps the tyres to seal on the rims. I use a standard track pump to inflate them. There is a bit of a technique to it but persevere and you'll reap the benefits! i've had one puncture in the last year which was caused by hitting a stone step head on causing a massive burp which was easily re-inflated. Make sure you carry a CO2 inflator with you and a couple of gas cartridges too.

I own a LHD 3 series BMW that i brought back from Germany 3 years ago. I've owned it for 10 years. Driving it over here is a real pain on B roads as you can't see to overtake and it costs more to insure as well (twice as much as my 2 year old 1.8 Zetec Focus. I only use it at weekends to take the mountain bike out on, but i couldn't bear to part with it, or scrap it!!

My wife has just had her 20 week scan and we are expecting a boy on the 5th of October, so i'm following this thread with great interest! I've got a friend who called his daughter "Twinkle Star". she is now affectionately known as "Twinks", poor soul!

north america on Cut gate to langsett. Fast and swoopy!

I had one with kium rails. It was like sitting on a house brick. i gave it to my brother and went back to my charge spoon TI.

I've had a set since xmas. swapped them over from candy Sl's. i like the larger platform which gives me better stability on the descents. Just hope the bearings are a bit better than the SL's.

Pook, thanks again for a great days riding and thanks to everyone else for the great company (and Hora!) :lol:

Sambob, send me an email (address in my profile) with your details and i'll pick you up.

Pook, i've got a HT BB for sam and i'll throw the Cranks in as well (SLX). I'll be there at half 9 mate.

Juan, are the new Urge helmets available in the UK yet??

Try some Phamie Gow, a multi talented musician. i especially like her piano composures. Very relaxing.

Four hour ride from Mam Tor today. Beautiful weather and fantastic scenery. I really felt alive.

Bling it up mate! it's nearly summer and you don't want people pointing and laughing at you!(look at that Gypo with his Deore cranks, Snigger,snigger) get a new set of SLX or,if your feeling flush, some nice XTs. Sod it! get out the credit card and get some nice carbon FSA numbers, the girls will love em! Go straight to the bike shop in the morning, you know you want to!!

Nonclists

The M1 (North bound) :lol:

Hmmm, check out my new "P". Obviously a Trek Fuel Ex 8. (has to be in black , white and gold, not the new polished aluminium) Then spend all, and i mean All your spare cash on it and it will have cost you twice as much as it's worth 8O ( like mine)
