drop down through the woods into Rockley at the bottom at the road turn right, at the end of the road go straight across arter 200ft turn right and head up the track towards barbury castle

you could always do it yourself, it is the only way I get my place done to my satisfaction

We looked all over B&Q etc and to be honest for us the bath store were tops for Quality/ price and needless to say there is always a sale on :roll:

sorry I am crap and I am unable to post a pic of my 26er simple

it is down the bottom of this page there are alot of other lights here to dissuade you from hope

I still ride a 12 year old Kaff and I still love it

But if I was in the market now I would look at the new Cotic

the Lidl work stands are brilliant but not for sale this time around

mtbtomo

thanks for the info about rutland cycles a set of 28’s are on there way

I like infact I like alot
I have owned a Pompino and a Kaffandbak for 12 years and they are ace no other road bike has apealed to me till now
My card is a twitching cos my 26er Simple and Soul need company

if you do not mind me asking what sort of price did your plumber give??? I need to do the same soon

I had a Inbred and then 26er cotic simple is the nutts

Would I recommend an inbred hell yes I would happily have another but the simple is a keeper

with reference to the previous post an isolator can be a 13 amp switched socket
A 3kw oven can be safely run from a ring main, wired in 1.5mm 3 core flex connected to a 13amp plug with a 13 amp fuse in it check BS 7671 if you do not believe me sorry I do not have the regs to hand.
An appliance of greater loading than 3kw does require to be hardwired through an independent isolator on its own dedicated supply.
BTW I swapped my cooker connection point (6mm cable 40 amp supply)for a 13amp switched socket and plug my cooker in because it made my life easier. the cooker is protected by a 13a bs1362 fuse and the cable by a 40a type B cb

the planet X RT58 looks interesting

just a thought

I have never seen a alloy spring :wink:

I have upgraded my Gaggia Classic after 6 years to a semi commercial machine because of my love of coffee but the Rancillo Rocky remains buy right buy once, as you have done with the Classic.

Once you have the grinder sorted have a look at this

http://coffeeforums.co.uk/showthread.php?3859-Adjusting-the-OPV-(over-Pressure-Valve)-Gaggia-Classic

As for coffee beans I use http://www.wogancoffee.co.uk/ in Bristol

All I have done with my spd’s was to take the axle out put a load og grease into the pedal body and put the axle back in which forced new grease through the bearings . Simples

Gaggia MM cheap as etc but bloody noisy creates loads of static and the grinds go everywhere. DO NOT BOTHER mine lasted a week before it got sent back for a refund.

Get a Burr grinder check various coffee forums for recommendations, I ended up with a Rancillo Rocky grinder and I have been happily using it for 6 years.

I would advise against a doser grinder get one which you grind as required

yes definatly

I had an inbred s/s and I chopped it in when I had the shout at a cotic Simple 26er it felt undergeared compaired to the inbred with the same gearing, more agile and responsive and it was built with all the kit off the inbred except the headset.

I had a full susser which I hated and I wanted a Soul but could not afford it 456 at £125 v soul at £470 so it was a no brainer. the 456 was always a faster bike than I was a rider and got me into all sorts of trouble ( read injuries) I guess it was a lack of ability on my behalf , but deep down I wanted a soul

Piggy bank raided Soul purchased compaired to the 456 it is smoother, more responsive, more planted and controllable than the 456 and I am a happy bunny.

Bottom line the Inbred / 456 are good bikes do not be mistaken and yes I would have another. But the Cotic Soul / Simple are alot nicer

I have just renovated (2 month of my life i will never get back )my kitchen and the beloved wanted the lights replaced to GU10 spots 11 of them at 550w. As a tight arsed electrician I was not too happy but I lost ( momentarily ) and she hated the light twas too dull.
I tried 3 the screwfix LAP 330lm 7w led lamps and she liked the light now we have 11 in the kitchen and 4 in the utility room and the light is ace.
Here is the big one though we have dropped from total load of 0.75kw to 0.105 kw
that is a good saving and payback will not be too far away especially with the life of 50w gu10’s

by cheap buy twice

I have a gaggia classic still going after 7 years

But I have upgraded to a HX machine which is far superior to the classic but at x5 the price

Hmmmmm

After years of ATAC’s and all the bushes wore out, I have sold out and gone to shimano M540’s at £24 a set with cleats
better no
worse no
cheaper YEP

wogan coffee in brizzoil

Superb people to deal with and I have just last week bought 1kg of there monsoon malibar for £12

They do not sell roast bean they roast them so you know they are fresh the smell through the Cabot Circus shopping centre is superb

I always have my opinel #8 on me yea yea yea it’s a lock knife with a 3.5″ blade etc

But “that’s not a knife” I also own for some silly reason an Opinel #13 8O (try a google search)

I will be up on the Q’s early saturday. Sorry but I do not make a habbit of this but I agree with dibbs =-O

I use Brittany ferries 3 times a year for the last 5 years so I can give an informed answer

I never ever ever pay the cycle rack charge with my picasso because even with the rack it is still under there standard length.

If and a big if there was an issue I would just cough up but it has never happened

I will be winging it again in august as I did in may and I will in october

seconded TRP the mini V’s on my Kaff are unbelievable

I am NOT considering a Disc framset now

Ok £70 sounds a hit but how much is a new frameset and wheels

Stretch the flexi ducting as far as possable to loose as much heat as you can

If it was me I would just isolate it then sort out the leak before next winter

should still work in hot water mode

Give it a go

BTW that TF thing is a crud remover for the central heating

there is a guy on this forum with a stans 29er wheelset on his Rajiin and he still uses tubes FFS
No Names but he is the first reply on this topic :roll:

My 26er Cotic simple comes in at 23lbs on my baggage scales
build:-
easton alloy bars
exotic stem
Hope Mini brakes
Rock shox revs dual air
Hope s/s hub on 717’s
spesh 2.2 puratory and captain with a ghetto tubeless conversion
Lx hollowtec crankset
No Name carbon seatpost with a spoon saddle

It rides great and I feel that there is not alot of weight I can save on this build without spending shed loads of dosh

Alex a good grinder is worth every penny the you know the grind is right

I agree with the recommendation of Brian Wogan the smell that lingers in the area when they are roasting is superb, for me the Monsoon Malibar is superb

But MB do not drop in there because I found the temptation of a new espresso machine too much to bear ( well they are shiny) if the wife ever finds out how much I spent she will go epileptic

I paid about the same with my hdi picasso but I will not pay that again

I have a choice be lazy or get my hands dirty and I will do the latter

Over the full width of a 9 speed cassette this would be a difference of 8 x 0.2mm = 1.6mm.

but if you set the cassette up on the 5th cog at 1st and 9th there is a mere .8mm discrepancy worked perfectly for me :P

A shimano 9 speed cassette / wheel works with a campag 9 speed gear train and it works really well, I used it for 3 years no problems despite what others say. The chainset would not be a problem either

mock not Kaffandbak
