I got a new roadie yesterday, Having rode nothing but MTBs, Surprising how fast they are and how quick you knock the miles on. I think i’l have clocked around 25 mile up yesterday, just making sure everything was so so after i built it up.

Would love to get out today but **** me my arse hurts :laugh Might be seeing about getting another charge spoon.

Just used collectmyparcel for a bike, DHL turned out the cheapest through the site! The box was 16kg and it cost £11.95 with insurance,

Happy with that compared to the £35-£40 everywhere else wanted, Would use them again anyway

Drove 2 hours to lee quarry, rode up the hill and joined the red, got round the first corner and saw 3 or 4 black dropoffs witha red round them, cleared two of them and tore my tire open on the 3rd still dropped the 4th mind lol.

Then i arrived back at my car to find a cracked windscreen so have shell out another £80 to get a new one 🙁 expensive day once id noticed my rear shock bushes have gone and my pikes sprung a leak too lol.

what you need is an RS6 + a stainless exhaust and a remap, then your knocking on 7oo hamsters 😉

rohipnol

If it doesn't work use a hammer instead 😉

I got mine off roger Munston, I think the address is wheelpro.com?? Checks every set beforevthey go out and provides a serial number, punished my set with single ply high rollers converted tubeless, never popped it off lost ajr and run truexstill after a years riding!!

Id recommend him, il dig his number out tomorrow and post it up see if he has any in

k'in hate posting off the iPhone

excellent just what i wanted to hear 🙂

I was joking

Just imagining what the dog lovers would have said.

lol, I'm just too slow

I almost mowed some chaps dogs over in the freeride park on the 3 dropoffs

Well obviously you shouldn't have been going off the drop-offs unless you had first checked the landing for dogs running around. All your fault.

Was clear on the walk up!

Headset removal tool consists of a bit of copper pipe cut halfway down and spread in my toolbox lol

Safari on the iphones is good heard about this tapatalk

I did the tube trick to get it seated and left it for half hour so the tyre took shape, popped it off one side removed tube etc. Filled it up with sealent and blew it back up with the compressor, First time too 😀

I'm not sure if this'l work but i'l give it a shot, This is mine just cleaned up after last week in Scotland, Got to say its the longest i've owned a bike, I love it. I've even given it a fresh lick of paint lol

Its ace in the jump parks and seems to take whatever i can throw at it, I'm now looking into having my pikes tuned too to make it even better 🙂 and they have the usual leak that needs rectifying.

Its got the standard rear shock, Float R i think, In the two years i've had it its had a new set of seals when it packed down just after i got it and thats all i've done other than keep it clean and lubed up, Fit and forget 🙂

I've just got a leather pouch made by exspect, £15 @ o2, got a little strap so you can pull your phone out too. I only ended up with it as i knew i was going to mark my phone in Scotland last week!

To the OP, would you have happened to be at GT on Friday late afternoon by anychance? I almost mowed some chaps dogs over in the freeride park on the 3 dropoffs 😳

Got a bit sketchy 😯

I ride in Adio Kenny V2s i think 😕 I've had them a year and now are sadly coming to the end of their life but they are fantastic with V8s 🙂

I have just broke up with someone the same age and i'm as old as you, She realised after 5 years when i started going out with my mates coming home drunk and spending less nights with her something was up. I hung on for 4 months thinking about it and hoping things would change but they didnt so told her how i felt and called it quits before Christmas!

Spent more time with my mates than i ever have, which i've enjoyed a lot as i missed out on my drinking and shaging around years, Now met a new girl and TBH she is awesome in every way i need 🙂 She gets on with my mates as i do with hers which is a big bonus for me.

How do you know the disk hasnt had the lip ground off in the past therefore its another 3mm wear, Unless the disks measured you wont really know! All i'l say is its your life and whoevers you take with you!!

I'm a sad act who has always got the spanners out on my Frenchie 😆 everytime the pads are changed the disks are done too, so i'm looking at every 3 years ish

You must be big Pete that seatpost looks well high 😛

Not dodgy as such, meant to send a message to my mate about a lass i was trying to get fired into 'shes been a real dick mate, how she cant make her mind up if she wats to drive in or be picked up i dont know'

Went down a treat 😆

Got the reply 'loser'

Never spoke much after that oddly 😕

^^ expect to get stick for that, I did last week lol

Etch then straight over with primer, nib it off and base up 🙂

Difficult, Got a head of mashed potato after pulling a work colleague and having a girlfriend oops, Shes about the workshop a lot talking to me since the night 😕

Still she is a stunner and i'm bored so not all bad 😆

Cant say my 182s let me down yeat in two years, Had the belts done 😮 not cheap as above,

They have a tendancy to pop CV boots off too i have found, rear shocks are weak and pop, top mounts knock, I've had a driveshaft on it and i think thats it apart from wear and tear items

They will be fine with a bit of sealent in them, Have a look at the notubes website It gives you an idea of what non tubeless tyres are good for conversions

HTH, Rich

yesh, ditched the car though its stuck on my drive, so i'm biking to work instead, two days so far and no fall 😀

*touch wood*

It'l be fine, Manufacturers powdercoat from the factory, A paint booth goes up to 80 degrees too when done in 2k, Obv there are lower temps you can use round 70s the norm

The orange 66 with 'idrolic' disk brakes on gumtree

PMSL at that description

double disk break (idrolick). perfect condition 19 gears. down hill fawks idrolick.maxistires. down hill crank.gel seat.

its idrolick with down hill fawks innit

Can hit 30mph on my hardtail on a flat road with Pan fires.

and downhill while i was at hamsterly managed to hit 44 on my heckler 😯 Pedalled like a MOFO. I dont think the guy in the Disco at the bottom could quite believe it as i shot past, He was watching me on the way down, whooosh 8)

Last proper downhill fire road before the end!

been wanting to go myself tomorrow, The website says the trails are closed but it contradicts itself with the description??

Please note that Dalby Forest is open as far as the Visitor Centre only, please take extreme caution on the access road. All cycle trails and walking trails are still affected by snow and if you choose to use these please take extra care. Please note that vehicle access through the forest is limited and emergency services would also be affected by this situation.

Doesnt actually quote its closed anymore 8)

Not enjoying it, Want to ride my bike but dont want to break my neck, Instead of going out i've been buying presents for it 😆

Checked the service book on the inside cover?

Mines stamped in tehre along with the chassis numbers etc 🙂

I wondered the same when i got my hoops, I went for the normal ones in the end as it was a new design and i've not heard of many people using them, If the normal hubs are fine why improve?

I've not broke a spoke yet mind *touch wood*

Peugeot astor greys a nice one

Probrably go with about £60-£70 couple of hours to prep and paint it! Didnt take me much longer to paint my heckler, quick sniff of aerosol primer where i'd gone through flatted it off and made a booth in the garage.

Paint came from work all had to naturally dry with a bit of help from the space heater, Took me about 4 hours to do it and it be cured, Left it in the house for a few nights then built it up

I thought it was shut 😮

Might head up now 👿

^^ Thats what i meant as Tea said 😆 got mixed up

If its the same design rear as a Heckler it needs bottom swing, top pull I'd have though all mechs fitted as long as they were the correct swing

High rollers, ran tubless if you can 🙂 Got the 60a 2.3s on my Heckler, I've also ran on Minions in the past so i wouldnt overlook them either

I've had the Panaracers they were ok until i went to Scotland with them then they seemed to be shite
