Blue pig, 456, Bfe, Pipedream, Dialled PA,
choose the colour you like and go for that one 😀

I would get down the osteopath sharpish. These things don’t heal, the body works around them

I think 140 would be perfect for most riding. 120 for more XC type stuff

Very nice, I’d be scared to ride that in case I crashed it (which I would)

Looks nice! I’m going for a blast after work on my newly built “bitsa”

Is that a 456 or a regular inbred?

I have Bell air and a spoon. Prefer the spoon and will be getting the Ti version for my Bfe

I have, didn’t notice the difference at all

Because I’m stupid and have just been eating salmon omlettes and tins of tuna with salad…..

[/url]dogs in snow[/url] by Roblilly[/url], on FlickrSee if that works….

No cramps for me either. I have lost 3kg in 2 weeks!

I think I possibly drink too much water. I have suffered pretty badly with shakes after a 2 hrs ride after not getting enough carbs.

@ Cougar you are totally correct in your definition, but emotionally it might be hard for someone to remain impassive, so my suggest was to avoid any possibility of that.

I was warned about confronting my wifes stalker a while ago as there is always the risk they could be mentally unstable. I would try and get a picture to identify him then let the cops pay him a visit, that should do the trick

I’m “faster” (its all relative) on my full sus bike but actually enjoy riding trail centres more on a HT. I don’t want to use all the cliches about connecting with the trails etc, it just feels more fun. I also think that if I crashed my FS at full bore I’m going to get really hurt as you travelling that much faster!!

I already run a cromo spoon. I will have to get a TI one as well as tubless then.

Thanks all

I will have a look at some ghetto tubless options then because I like my wheels and I’m tight!

I’m running 2.35 minnions on my FS bike. Think that would do the job then if I lower the pressure a bit?

Good job on the build. Now go ride it and report back!

I would go with the 175s then, ground clearance not an issue

What bike are you putting them on so we can get an idea of the type of riding you are doing.
I will honestly say that in 16 years riding bikes I have never felt the cranks “flex” maybe I’m not hardcore enough!

Its nothing naughty. I have a few people working for me overseas who are prone to bribery….

Can you feel the give in the TI post? It looks really good to me, nice mix of parts

I have lost some weight the first week in. Its less easy when you are travelling (work)in China….

I want to do the final round at Afan. Waiting to see responses to the first round before I commit. I’m sure if the first round goes well they will have loads signing up. I’m not sure if I will race on my commencal or the Bfe (that I should be getting soon) I will do a recce to Afan later in the year when I hope there will be more information on what stages will be used

That looks really nice. Weight?

I think that looks lovely and you have obviously put a lot of thought into it. Now go ride the crap out of it!!

Is that a genuine “George foreman” grill or an immitator?

Really nice photos, I’m stuck in smoggy China and love to see clear day shots like this!

it goes diet > resistance training > cardio

Jamie, really? I thought cardio was first! too much growth hormone in my brain…

Can I get a copy of the diet? I have piled up to 95kg (5’9″)played rugby for years (hooker) so have always lifted a lot of weights. I know I need to do more cardio/reps but it seems to be taking for ever to lose anything. I have stopped drinking protein shakes etc etc
Thanks

Thanks! don’t want one now, You have just saved me money!!

I really fancy an Airstream! tell me I’m crazy…..

I have got 661 Kyle straits and they are great. I know they are there, which I think is a good thing!

Yep, I have some of their “Fat Cyclist” stuff!

You planning to post a ride report tomorrow?

Ahh I understand now. Imagine that, people go to a country to claim of their benefits system without contributing, thats pretty low.

Thanks for all the info

Explain the difference between the two please?

Cheers!

Looks great!
