True story……Parlee Z1 frame in the shop at £6700 hung on the wall (VERY securely) with nice sign (or 2) saying ‘do not touch,please ask for assistance’.I look up from the workshop to see a customer wrestling with it.Just as I get halfway there the mount gives way and he heaves the frame up,straight into the chainring of the complete Z2 mounted above it.FML.

Nearly as good as the bloke who knocked over the 4 bike stand…..with 4 carbon Cannondales on it.

How differently do people view this of you replace “dog” with “child”?

Good point…..if it was child,I’d not bother the emergency services.Teach the little bugger a lesson.

First ride of the year……Grade 2 dislocated shoulder and fractured glenoid..FML.

The happy bits.

With no more EU funding (thanks Brexit) on the horizon it has to start paying for itself (and future expansion).And they ain’t cheap to run.

On the plus side.Revolution is still only £33 (but you’ll need to bring your big boy pants) and Antur is £34.50.

Either you type r e e a a a l y slowly or it was 2000 words long ;o)

(Could’nt be 2000 words….there’s no driving thread-currently).

So MTB  is the new golf!

It’s actually the new T6 SWB (204bhp) T32 Sportline (optional 19″ rims).

I don’t want to interrupt all this moaning, but I’ve just had a thought – what if this charge actually reflects the cost of providing the service?

Don’t be coming on here with your rational thought.It’s price gouging gone mad I tell thee….they’re all driving round in platinum plated Bentleys.How the hell am I going to afford a £300 cassette and upgrade to 2019 Fox 36’s at £1000 a pop if I have to pay £6 more?
(Does suck a bit for the locals tbh,which is a shame.Because there’s barely anywhere else to ride down there).

You wait until you only have to book a month in advance instead of 3….that’ll teach them.

Where would that ‘lost’ energy be ‘giving back’ to exactly?

I find your lack of hashtags disturbing.#needtotryharder

Being a *@~# IS a hobby.

Turned up that they filled their pockets by trousering the profits and are on the fly.

After 257 hard km no one knows what they have left in their legs. Even very good sprinters have got to the velodrome and stood on the pedals to find they have nothing left

Ask Tom B and Matty Haymen about it!

I’ve lost count of the number of tracks I’ve pinched off Sprung soundtracks!

I’ve had a cup of tea with Cerys Matthews…….and biscuits.True story.

What colour IS your cat?

‘I have a black cat…….Therefore all cats are black’

2nd Gedge.

All  droppers bar Command posts and cheapo KS ones (Inline= <10mm).

You basically sat on the rear axle of my Yelli….it was a HOOT!!

That’d be true if most FS bikes did’nt have offset seat tubes meaning although the effective seat angle is steep the actual seat angle is much slacker.

You’re right….that talentless chancer Johnny Marr owes everything to Morrissey.

They are going to be manufactured using the Dunning Kruger method.

No way!!!

J Mascis IS Chris from Family Guy.
I think Lou Barlow has finally forgiven him (and we got Sebadoh out of it).

It’s simply a by product of increasing reach and needing to maintain a reasonable seat to handlebar distance. A side effect is shifting body weight forward which helps keep the front wheel down when climbing.This has been inflated as meaning ‘better climbing’ like suddenly it creates 50watts more power.

loads of bikes are too slack (plus coming with a layback post) to actually allow you to setup in the correct position for pedaling efficiency

Funny how roadbikes (where pedaling efficiency seems to be quite important) have seat angles of 72/73degrees and mostly use setback seatposts (TT/Tri bikes are a different matter as its more linked to aerodynamics/utilizing a different muscle group).
Although I’m not a KOPS subscriber (it’s more happenstance than scientific fact)  it does seem widely accepted as a starting point for good pedaling dynamics.

Are tinfoil hats technically hollow?

I thunked front centre was bb to front axle.

Them pair offa TOWIE?

jca….Not yet I’m not.

Trainspotting.

Edit….Mis-read that

I’m with Ol Blue Eyes.
