I gave up and bought a new shifter.

Gloucestershire: Cotswold hills, huge beech woods and FOD.

POSTED 13 MINUTES AGO # REPORT-POST

I was waiting for someone to say this so I can pounce on them. I can’t judge as I’ve mainly only ridden cleeve, however I will, because thats how I am.

This place of southern England doesn’t seem to handle rain very well, leading to a clay like substance which you can *ride* on in the winter (I say this as its mostly like rolling a turd through cotton). Meaning you can only ride when it hasn’t been raining. Whats the point in that.

Thanks grahamh, I’ll take that as everyone else I know just chose the closest!

Were you choosing between second hand too? Just thinking what’s the point in paying all that money for non new stuff that I could have to service?

THIS IS REAL? If that reaches just half of us young voters.

Cos its more bling

Haha, perfect!

Thanks wwaswas. So its normal that there is essentially no noise coming from it?

Bestest ever favourite has got to be … Jensen button and the guy who bought his Yeti ARC CX bike.

The guy that bought it was complaining that he had been diddled out of his cash. Everyone goes on the normal manhunt/waiting with biscuits.

Best response was from one member who had been checking out the buyers forum history, then posted “if you ever get it you’ll only end up selling it two weeks later”. Sure enough, dude posted it up for sale once he eventually got his hands on it.

Would Canyon not be the best bang for the buck? Plus someone will surely buy the frame? Whereas the Halfrauds frame might not be an easy sell?

I sold my year old YT Tues for £1250, I’d consider that cheap, you’re not going to break one of those so easily in the UK.

More specifically Gloucester. I’ve sorted out a ride tomorrow in FoD now 🙂 Thanks for all the fish!

Sounds like I should try and stay away from google then!

May well have! Lets see if Beans comes back 🙂

How bimble is bimble? I don’t mind waiting for anyone/riding slowly (when climbing), just don’t wanna hold anyone back!

Thanks Pawsy bear. I’d love to do the enduro route but sadly no I don’t have a GPS, I could do the phone gpx thing but I can see that not working out too well!

They claim a Large will fit a 6’5″ rider, why do they tease me this way? I know if I were to get one it would be the most squeezy fit ever!

@SpongingMachine – that much for 2?! How the… Thanks dude!

What rims and fork did you have on the BFe?
Just buy the equivalent of those.

I have sektors and flows on my BFe. They share the same lowers as the 26rev so I was hoping the 29rev would be for similar purpose. Was thinking of building flows but the best I can find is £60 a rim!

@wobbliscott – thank for the uinput, sounds like its revs for me!

I find the fact that much of humanity doesn’t understand speed restrictions very disappointing, answers a lot of questions tbh.

I’d like to hope that I didn’t portray that o didn’t understand the reason for the speed limit. It was more that it was there for such a long stretch.

Python developer? No, infosec, although I have dabbled with Python in the past. Why?

It was the __need__ and __want__. Thats all 🙂

If only there was some sort of service which people could access from a range of devices, in which people could post information related to the cones, almost like one of those “public billboards” in the park. But accessible from anywhere, much like the cone hotline. 🙂

Maybe somewhere between conageddon and a hand full of rocks would be more appropriate. The 2 year works on the northern M60 to put up some illuminated signs is having a really bad effect on the flow of traffic, would have thought the excessive use of speed limits increases the risk of accidents in the stop start traffic that is created.

I laughed so hard about this, as I moved away as they announced it!

Jeez its almost like we actually care about the lives of other workers over here. Surely we could just kill a few to save 5 minutes of your precious time.

The stereotypical thing to say is “well I’ve never seen anyone working”. and in all honesty, at all of the different times when I’ve done the journey I never have. I’m not fussed about the time, just a curious person.

Must be some crazy reason behind it.. maybe to slow people down so they dont run workmen over or some over safety type nonsense that slows progress by 25%

See I definitely agree with this. However, the sections I’ve seen all seperate the “work site” and the motorway with what is essentially another metal barrier identical to that which separates the two sides of the motorway. Sometimes theres even a 4foot wall of concrete aswell.

Greybeard – Member
The theory goes that 50mph maximises the flow (cars per hour) due to the reduced spacing compared to 70mph, despite the lower speed, so there are fewer jams. Also when everyone is limited to 50mph there’s less lane changing, which is what often triggers the ‘surges’ in heavy traffic that lead to totally stationary traffic 3 miles further back.

This is exactly the answer I wanted! Thanks so much!

I’m not referencing that one specifically but thats what I’m getting at. I understand that they must be doing essential stuff. But I never see anyone doing anything at any time of the day. Its also usually on both bloddy sides of the motorway!

Jade Goody. Sorry if its been done or if I’ve offended anyone. Yes she died – that doesn’t mean she wasn’t famous for no reason.

(unrelated) Are you a python developer?

I’m in the same boat! 26″ hardtail, wondering whether I move to fashion wheel size and rear suspension. Thing is is that I enjoy riding it.

Definitely either my mate Gulson or Ali Clarkson!

Been through this because the codeines too small for me :(. How about the Spesh Enduro Comp 29?

The problem with the commencal AM 29ers is that they can’t be that good! Otherwise why would they stop doing them?

Are you talking a room in a house, where the landlord lives?

Or your own flat? Or shared house with other tennants?

Shared house with other tennants, so theres a chance of being dobbed in!

And then after all that he bloody sold it a week later!

I’m sure Jensen will send you that Yeti Arc X soon…

Recent grad here: I work doing essentially what I call ‘typing’ in a cushty office for 35 hours a week for that.

There are better jobs, but they will all expect you to work for a pittance unless you get on a grad scheme with a big company.

I’ve gone through a temp agency, with the plan of being kept on, ask him to try that.

Nice to know that yours was successful. As if you were back on the bike in a week! I think after breaking it I’m being rather cautious with it until it’s fixed

I like the sound of the 172. I’ve had a look and they really dont seem bad for the money! £1100 is the best I’ve got on a quote for one so far though.
Head to Cliosport.net for all the info you could ever need, also a good place to pick one up from

Thanks legend! Have gone and signed up.

I’ve tried to get a quote for the vRS (130bhp), less power than the clio, but they wont even give me a quote…

He had a bloody 944 when he was my age. You lot ruined it for us all!
