they’re not air, just air preload, i’ve thought about these too but am wary of 08/09 marzocchi’s.

your going to start charging for advice, good luck with that :lol:

OMG times a million!!!!!!!!

tried it with no device at first, fine for commuting but chain kept falling off proper mountain biking, have a gamut chain guide now and no problems so far.

Think there are so many factors, I struggle to do my 6 mile commute 5 days a week, my trip to work is easy and takes around 23 mins almost all downhill and a drop of 370m, my trip home takes around 50 minutes and I then have to climb back up that 370m, I generally try and take it easy as even one day would break me if i forced it. If those 6 miles were flat I would have no issue doing it every day.

When i had a stiffee it was just a medium stiffee, not had a stiffee in about 18 months though.

ps AmyYoung’s profile says Occupation: Dancer/Actress, I’m thinking more the exotic kind.

8O what do you do?

I don’t like greasing my post either :oops: attracts dirt if you do raise and lower it a bit and generally just looks messy as ****.

I read that revs will be up to 150mm next year, i seriously wouldn’t bother changing just now, just not worth it.

Put that top tube any lower or the stays any higher and that’ll look like one of those girls bikes. Forks look like very low in the travel department too.

Add some free weights on your rest days and stay active liek washing the car and hoover/mow the lawn etc.

You hoover your lawn? 8O

Get on the bike lots, whether its fast slow or whatever, try and cut out any shite you eat, especially after your dinner.

yep, if its a specialized it’ll be 34.9.

you need this website[/url]

I bought a cheap one from halfords years ago, still going strong.

I thought you were going to say you’d been riding all evening with a stiffee :oops:

If its the GF paying, just go 203/203

justification – i know i’ve got the maximum braking power I can have.

Why does it need to be justified though, its not like i spent $4k on some ridiculous full sus bike that i don’t really need, I spent 20 quid an end and got bigger rotors and better braking.

Your shorts and shoes might well get dirty too.

8O No sale!

oh! and i have 203’s front and rear, just because i can.

Jamie, that pic makes me want to go and clean my bike, you could eat your dinner off those tires.

Brant, if I run a single ring setup, will that mean the nice chainstay brace thingy gets all dirty?

Lyriks at max travel would be funner!

would you ask for a pint of peachy beer at a bar?

Different rules for food, Your still wrong :P

because its beer, if you want a peach or cherry or whatever fruit flavour drink then drink **** alcopops!

8O beer should not taste of fruit :roll:

Would you believe it! Intergalactic by the beastie boys just came on my iPod, i’m destined for greatness :lol:

Olympic gold? Pffft! I want my intergalactic gold medal for cheese boat sailing and I want it NOW! My HRM says after 5 minutes of internet surfing i’m now i’m in the cheese sailing stallion zone!

how did this end http://tonysphotos.fotopic.net/p57511043.html

I’d like to sail to the moon on a boat made of cheese :D What are my chances?

will be fine

I’m enjoying my running just now too. Did my first 10k on friday, not a race just a loop around a lake that happens to be 10k, did it in just over an hour so i’ve now got to beat that. I live at the top of a big hill so my local loop (5k) involves running to the bottom and as far up as i can, only ever made it half way back up but my times are getting quicker there too. Not sure it does much for the cycling fitness mind, I feel i’m progressing quicker at the running but still slow as **** riding up on my bike.

Braaap.

:lol:

Here’s a fresh one of mine

wow! just caught up on this thread, amazed at the incompetence and now wondering which company as I have worked for a couple of engineering companies with offices in Glasgow, understandable that it hasn’t been named though. Best of luck sticking it to them though.

Carrot?

drama queen

took me a couple of hours to build up my bike from nothing, its really not that hard especially when you have the right tools lying around, its mostly just screwing a bunch of stuff together.

So we’re all riding on bikes that are going to fall apart? I thought all these cotic’s, on-one’s and dialled’s were tough as old boots. Its seems like most will have to be beefed up to meet the new standards.
