I don’t even know where my socks are from. They’re socks, they go on your feet, you throw them away when they’re knackered. Do people really think about this stuff?

Aye that’s a good point – although it’s quite important that the site doesn’t look awful, as long as the mechanics work you should be ok. Sites like ebay, CRC etc don’t look great but they do work.

No man between the ages of 21 and 70 should wear a hat

yeah 42a or slow reezy’s tend to die very quickly, the 3C ones are great though

Snowcard or Dogtag

I use the 3c HR dual ply in France usually and they are great; this year I will start off on rubber queen 2.2s though; I wonder if I will die, they are about half the weight.

5’10 here 16″ perfect

Really? I’m 5’11” and tried both, 16″ felt very cramped.

Mmm possibly a little on steep climbs but I’m a fat shit so I’m usually walking by then. Flat / down it’s spot on.

I had a set of flows for a while on my DH bike, taco’d one rim and stuck ex721s on instead. Might just have been unlucky though, they were really good trail wheels.

hah look at those selfish ****, some people

Hey good stuff, we should agree to disagree

No at risk of being hit by a motorised vehicle while attached to a pushbike on the road. You do realise that a bike / bike trailer is not a car right?

Look I don’t really give a shit about your kids, I find it odd that you don’t seem to though.

I find it amazing that people are willing to put their children at risk like that – each to their own I guess

Do you people ride on the roads with your babies in tow?

You know what happens to an adult when they fall off or are knocked off a bike. Imagine what happens to a baby. Some **** people

Sell it and give the money to charity

Wait what, so youtube, BBC, countless other content providers are wrong?

I’ll be at Erlestoke 12 next Saturday and I’ll be aiming to reach 65km/h down that long chalk track on a hardtail 29er. I’ll post the GPS evidence here afterwards. I challenge anyone, on any bike, to post evidence that they went faster.

I need to meet this guy

OP try one, buy one. FS bikes are better than hardtails in every conceivable way, you’d be crazy not to. There’s a lot of gibberish spouted by HT nerds all over the internet, ignore these ‘sperglords though.

Before this thread descends into a hardtail jihad, here are a few myths and truths to get you started:

Myths:
– HT teaches you rad gnar skillz, FS makes you lazy.
– FS makes things “too easy” (har, yeah ok if you’re Steve Peat maybe)
– FS will “roll over anything” (It’s a pushbike, not a range rover)
– FS are a lot of hassle to keep running.
– You should “learn to ride properly” (whatever this means) on a HT first
– A HT can turn an overweight IT consultant from Reading into a biking hard man (extra gnar awarded for lack of gears and boutique brands from Northern England. Blokes on fully rigid 29ers are so masculine they manage to impregnate women at 500 yards)

Truths:
– FS is faster than HT downhill.
– FS is more comfortable.
– FS allows you to attempt more rad gnar things because it’s better offroad than HT, because it has suspension both ends.
– Bike nerds are easy to wind up.

Be careful; it’s very likely that your employers own the information in your inbox. Doesn’t hurt to ask the friendly local IT bod.

Yes you can do this, I think the card is £20 from SKY. You can’t record anything though unless you pay them £10 /month.

RJ – you enjoy the view of Turkish lads washing your car?!

Yup they’re really fit, too young for me though

Get some Turkish lads round to do it for you; sit back and relax with a beer, enjoy the view 🙂

Junkyard, genuinely interested to know why this is such a thing for you.

If you drive a German car then theres a good chance you’re a cock I’m jealous of you so I call you a cock to gloss over the aching sense of inferiority you give me.

NZCol – there’s nothing like a nice car to bring out the green eyed monster in other people. If I see someone driving a nice car I usually think “nice car”, not “what a t**t”.

Our first line drooling windows monkeys earn that

Pretty much all high end German and Italian when I go in to the office. There are a couple of Maybachs too *puke*

A search of the London Fixed-gear and Single-speed forum (LFGSS), home to more than 24,000 cyclists from all over the UK and beyond, shows that attacks like this are more common than we would like to think.

So roady SS/Fixie Londoners are getting beaten up. Come on, we’ve all thought about it 🙂

I got rid of my hardtail last year, wasn’t riding it any more, FS bikes do everything better IMO.

Christ there are some bitter people on here with economic nous learned, I can only assume, via The Sun.

Like it or loathe it London does have an incredible buzz about it. I lived there for years, I drive in a couple of times a month now for work. I wouldn’t really want to live there again, it’s too busy and now I’m used to clean air and countryside.

Say what you like about London and the people in it, and bankers and what have you, but The City generates huge amounts of tax revenue and is a massive contributor to the nation’s GDP. These TAX THE RICH people don’t understand business, or tax.

We’ve seen all of this before with TV shows like 90210 and The OC. As much as I confess to enjoying the voyeurism, I wish this show would stop focusing on the rich and successful members of Scottish society and highlight the issues faced by those who aren’t quite so fortunate.

I recently went up to 780mm but my arms and back started to ache, so I think I’ll be going back to 750mm
