External cabling, covered in newspaper with pink highlights. i bet there’s no change from 7k?
Should have gone to Specsavers! :D
And they haven’t even put end caps on the cables! very shoddy…

Stans. Tried Caffee Latex, but found it doesnt like CO2 inflators, which cause it to harden.

Or keep an eye on these :D

Fox Vans 160

Send them to Loco ASP. Cheaper than a second hand set that you don’t know the history of.

He has defined cycling for the last 15+ years, and will no doubt, be the biggest name in cycling this year without even riding his bike! Chapeau Lance :D

I would check the following: Headset correctly adjusted. Callipers securely mounted. Rotors securely mounted. if all that is correct, then check the wheel bearings. Finally, ensure that the wheel is mounted and secured correctly. You can check for play in the headset by pushing the bike forward and applying the front brake. If there is still slight forward movement after the wheel has stopped, then the headset needs tightening. HTH.

If you’ve signed up for next years UCI Downhill series there may be some merit in “bedding in” your pads. If not, just ride them. :D Top tip: ensure you use the correct size rotors for your brakes!

I’ve got the next model up of the Celestron (bought for my 8 year old daughter last Xmas) with a motor drive. It’s great for the moon and closer planets on a clear night. As idlejon says, get a decent star alighnment sight for it, as even centring on the moon can be difficult otherwise. I would recommend a Telrad reflex sight at £50 ish. Makes it a lot more enjoyable.

I think you may be exceeding the max frame weight for a starter? :D Hope you’re not putting them massive Zocchis on it as well? I think this could lead to “Hard core Hard Tail Fail” :D …. see you Sunday amigo.

nice one Bradley :D

Thanks for today Julian. Great ride and company as always!! Nice to do some new trails. Thanks for the lend of the Flat pedals Mr Orange rider! :D

My Remedy. Talas RLC FIT 160s :D

This already exists does it not?? The defining line being everywhere inside the M60 :D

What happened to Riding buddy confidentiality? Epic fail my man. Drinks all round on the 8th. Don’t forget your wallet :evil:

plus one for the MW80s. Go up one size though as they are on the snug side.

Count me in! Will give Sambob a lift if required :D

My Kinesis XC pro 3, which was built with Mrs Popo’s approval for child carrying duties! :D

And just to prove it! in “Child carrying mode!”

Mrs P was holding Juniors helmet (before someone kicks off!)

What size? 142 x 12mm any good??

APOLOGIES! Just checked my fuel Ex and the outside diameter of the seat tube is 36.4mm and the seat clamp (original Bontrager) is stamped “36” on the under side.

Will check now with a vernier calliper.

The fuel ex uses a 34.9mm clamp to accommodate a 31.6mm seat post. HTH :D

Well?? did it ride like a donkey on LSD or lance on EPO? :D

i sold an decent SLX for £55 two weeks ago on here….. :D

Any ideas on when it is “Officially Open”?? :D

I’d say MTFU :D Make the most of it before the “young un” arrives! There’s Nowt so queer as baby’s to disturb your karma! what night for night riding then??? ( we all get a bit off now and again!)
Edit: What thou really needs is a reet nice new bike! Do it now before your broke for the next 21 years :D

There is a very good site here that explains your landlords responsibilities. He must ensure that the property is safe to inhabit.
Electrical safety
You need to read your contract and see if he has any get out clauses.
HTH :D

+1 for the Lumicolours. Downside: Expensive.

I was disappointed that he didn’t say “Chief” or “Hard graft” during the programme :D

We’re you parked on the yellow hatchlings again? Like McDonalds last Saturday? :D

I’m in again, and will be up for the Pub/curry again as well :D

I don’t do scratches or grazes, but if you happen to be suffering from a gunshot wound, I’m a handy chap to have round :D

All the lads and lasses guiding at Trail addiction this summer were riding/raving about the Nukeproof Mega. They were totally sick riders. you won’t be. Buy a Grifter, it will be unique :D

Here you go! Think he’s going to be a very rich man. Looks suprisingly substantial for $20!!!!

Starting from Edale, head up to Hollins cross, Mam nic, Rushup edge, Penine bridleway through Roych clough, Mount famine, drop into Hayfield, quick loop round Middle Moor, (well worth the extra time) Butty at the Cafe, head back up to kinder reservoir and follow the trail up to Edale cross.(its easier riding going via the reservoir)Then smash the descent down Jacobs :D I would allow three and a half to four hours. jacobs will be quiet on a monday, only losers push up Jacobs!!

It depends on the location. If its a permanent defile, like the mad mile in to the newly developed traffic jam at Poynton, then i queue up with the rest of the good natured locals. If its on the Motorway, then use all lanes up to the defile point. Simples. Unless you drive an Audi and consider yourself better than the rest of us…. or a white van :evil:

More importantly, can we now expect a significant price reduction on all Trek Madones??? :D

Junkyard, you’ve got too much time on your hands. I suggest you get a job. Adios :D

Junkyard, you are speaking junk. I’ve never yet met an unemployed family that don’t have sky or virgin media. The normal hardworking person is subsidising the average unemployed scrounger. I know what it’s like to be unemployed, but 90% of the unemployed are better off under the current benefit giveaway system and have no visions of ever seeking employment. The system needs to change and this is a good starting point.

Mine was 2.5K from Royles in the sale, June 2011, plus 400 for the obligatory wheel change to Ksyrium elites. bontrager race lites on a 3k bike! Trek are having a laugh with their component specs for the last two years on all their bike models.
