take that winstanleys price with a pinch of salt. they gave me a right runaround when i tried to buy them. despite ringing up to confirm they had them in stock, they took my money and the forks didnt appear.

just bought a 55cr. great fork. all the marz attributes ie plush strong non-divey. gold look is a bit ott but thats the only negative.

^ that 5000000 sold each week cant be right. i know it says so on the pack but..

29er – cheese – big, round and rolls well down mountains

26er – peas – small, round and roll well round smaller areas like plates

650b – cheeseypeas – shite

withnail and i – id rather drink catspiss than watch more than the 20 minutes I once saw of it.

cheers – i’ll try a vice

the equivalent is 7.5k according to pace. worked great when i did mine.

wtf is all that about?

He didnt fix it for me to fly in the millenium falcon – guilty as charged!

Now sold

Id be interested in what they say. Would like to reduce exm150 to 130. As they sell an exm 130 it would be good to know if it was just a spacer difference.

Driving up on Sunday from cardiff. if any locals can babysit a ford focus for the evening it would be much appreciated. Terrahawk ok to pm u?

I can sleep now cheers.

£10??? Seriously, do you have trouble wiping your arse each day?

Have you looked at the afr service threads on MTBR forums?I found the shock worked really well after doing it. Quite simple to do once you have the bits.

There’s a ride every Wednesday. Leaves the lewis arms in tongwynlais at 7.30ish.

Hutchinson toro are v good.

Mine – 2009 with angleset, 150mm fork, now flat bars – great bike.

Exm 150 here – great forks. Has anyone got a link to somewhere I can buy the “pin-spanner” I think it’s callled in the service video?

My kids were given a box of after 8s by one house. Not sure if it was a trick or treat.

Cheers mboy.

Is it the same course as previous bikefests – need help deciding – 5spot or cannondale hardtail with 80mm headshock for solo rider?

There’s usually a tester pack of stuff like that in my B&Q. They kindly open a pack and let you take one.

Improved access to information must count for some of this. I remember trawling books in a library for hours for coursework / revision etc. Its a 5 minute job nowadays.

Used one as my only light (off road) for a few years. More than enough for me.

Our ASDA had a trial where if anyone parked in a disabled space, this dirty great klaxxon would sound so everyone could look round and see the perfectly able person get out of their car.

I just drive round in one of these. No one is any the wiser.

I on the other hand am happy, have a house in a tiny village in the peak district, a great partner, a fantastic daughter, and earn over £40k a year. I also actually ride my bikes quite a lot, ergo i win!

You’re the Man!

Cheers for that.

This months dirt has a 2 page spread advertising different holiday operators – Finale looks v good.

Is Glyncorrwg cafe open? Brechfa is about 40 minutes on from Port Talbot.

what about dropping a PhD? – getting overlooked time and again for non-research lab job despite having the lab experience.

Going to install a Works Components on my 5 spot – HIJACK sorry – How was the slacker 5 Spot JP Capel – improvement?

that’s the type you need. 2 minute mod. Great bikes btw

another for John Carpenter – Escape from New York

Awful – the colour isn’t very nice either ;).

I’m going to dig mine out now – asterix the gladiator was my fave. Great education in geography, history, fighting and feasting

How bad is champix for side effects? I’ve been trying to quit off and on for years and anything really effective would be a bonus

bit of nausea – mental dreams.

Same here – still on the champix and after 6 weeks off the cigs (15 a day)I feel sluggish and lethargic, which I put down to weight I’ve put on since stopping. My breathing is definitely better, at the top of a climb I can hold a conversation now. Just feel a lot slower.

5’10.5 – Large DW 2009, not too large to feel cumbersome. Agree with the headtube comment though.
