From my point of view as long as the title says TDF (or other sports event) you shouldn't have to put spoiler, its obvious what the thread is about, don't go there if you don't want to. Some fanny will always click and get upset cause it didn't say spoiler though!

agreed

Thats a 1st, someone from bristol asking to ride a bike, they usually just take them down there, don't they? :D

new bike or five?

this is the weather forecast for where i live this week :D

sorry

I can't get the image of a police officer saying 'yippee' out of my head :lol:

Mavic Deetraks, factory wheels with normal spokes, not super light but good solid set of wheels and not too expensive either.

I biked to work this morning and it was 18 degrees at 7.30, up to 20 now and its 8.56(am) :lol: should be mid to high twenties for my ride home :lol:

A few years back while doing the selkirk merida, my mate says he needs a shit so goes off into the bushes just before the last big climb, so we leave him to it and proceed up the climb, while eating our grub at the top, he comes up over the hill all red faced and tells us he just farted for five minutes, still makes me laugh today and i though my stomach muscles were going to cramp up with laughter at the time.

bigyinn takes the win i think

is it not something along the lines of, if you've used up all your energy, your body will start to break down your muscles for energy so when your done you take some carbs to stop that happening and then a bit of protein to help the muscles too.

well that's them fitted, the 2.5 909 i got for the front looks mean as f***! like a big moto tyre, the 2.5 world cup for the rear not quite so mean but looks like it will roll better, looking forward to trying them out in anger :D

Uh oh! I'm waiting on the fedex man delivering some 2.5 909's and world cups, bought on the cheap from jenson, 20 dollars each. I'll give them a go, it was too much of a bargain not to but will await the wobblyness.

this actually looks pretty nice, better than i was expecting.

not a bad way to go!

I would say general clothes are a bit cheaper, for example i bought a pair of volcom jeans here before xmas, no sale or anything for 70 bucks then paid 40 for a pair of next jeans back home, hmmmm, but bike stuff is much the same and often the best deals here are still on chain reaction.

probably just as well using steptoes, the prices you will see for here will be less tax too.

are you saying you posted a spoiler about drug abuse? jeez! do people really watch the TDF waiting for stories of drug abuse now then get upset if the read it on the internet first?

I don't like my helmet, its a bit too big and wobbles about a bit, getting a smaller one soon which should be a better fit :D

and if your using google chrome, click the spanner then 'options' then 'under the hood' then 'show cookies' and you can search for the singletrack cookies there and delete them, panic over :D

I still don’t get what you’ve got against people that work from home :D

I knew before opening this post that TJ would be in there saying you don’t need them with a balanced diet. For what its worth, i’ve taken them and never noticed any difference but maybe they help out on the inside somewhere you don’t really feel it.

two wheel drifts are where its at these days :D

doesn’t the CEN testing just require the front end to be beefed up, therefore you can have a big floppy rear if you like.

setavento can build you a sort of Titanium Alpine

ahh! good excuse :D

Yeah, still riding it exactly as in the pic, don’t think there will be any chnages for a while… and yep still enjoying the riding here, duh! :D

how do you say 2th, is is secondth or twoth? all looks rollable in the vid.

DB Alpine

hope you’ve got thick socks cause you could still take a chunk out your leg wearing them surely.

RF Rally DH’s

FC, you only gave up for five minutes :lol:

Not sure you’ll find any that don’t make you sweat but my race face pads are very comfy.

trout, please go and juice some grass and report back :D

i thought it was so we had somewhere to rest our bits on :D

on a related note, how does AC affect fuel consumption? never understood that, it runs of the battery surely :?

Do you know how much CT fraud is going on?

You can help reduce this by paying the money your housemates are due :D You’ll be doing society a favour and get to feel all good about yourself.

rs- I’m a woman, which means I’m usually multi-tasking, so can’t always check what I write

So you’re saying women can’t multitask without making mistakes? :lol:

trying to buy True Lies on DVD!

:lol:
