61g fair point the dust on my tyres weigh more

ok I was being a bit daft

perhaps Comps do make alot more sense less fuggin about

Learning are you young sharki 😆

welcome to the old gits club

Too Tall

Sorry I have to dissagree about the multi fuel stove bit. I have a 4kw hunter Hawk stove and it was pants as a multi fuel stove the burning chamber was too small and it burnt through wood realy quickly.

So I converted it to a woodburner only by getting shot of the grate assembly( it is a hunter conversion ) the chamber is now about 40% bigger we get more heat out of it and it can almost burn through the night

IMHO If you are going to burn wood get a wood burner not a multi fuel stove

Baccccccccccccccccccccccon and Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrie

Ah happy days

why we are churning through lives and is the conflict really winnable after the Soviet-lesson?

Good point alas history has taught us ( our politicians that is )nothing

went out with the wife and dog for a good wander this morning

brilliant quality time together

Next week I hope, body self repaired 😀

Nor would mine , hence I have had a realy close relationship with my wood burning stove today

When did we become a militarised society?

Or should you say " when did we become pro British"

I have taken sharki with me does that count???

Say anything bad and you will be branded a racist by the STW sandal wearing do gooders

be warned

at 5'10 I would say a 18 I am 5'8" and I am top end of being ok for a 16 but the 18 is a bit too big for me

I live in devon if you want to try a 16 you are more than welcome

on the same score does that mean the 456 /Summer season is going to be modded to pass the new regs?

RD why the name change?

I thought you lived in Kiddy

at a guess go to the suberbs

er Malvern

ok so thats of no help, so are you moving south or something?? you do not want to leave the Wyre that place has some of the best riding I have ever done ( except the Q's)

I can see it would be a light weight saddle due to the loss of material

it's forked

EIASH

Yer silly sod

How many more bikes does a bloke need

Answer

Just one more

I is crap cos I cannot post pic's

If you cleaned your bike it may be a bit lighter 😉

Hmmmmmmmmm

sorry but the uk will not be able to help due to defence budget cuts

cos we is skint

32 / 17 should be good for most purposes a little low but not hell and earth

32 / 16 and you cannot go wrong

WHAT not a Whyte 😮

nice though

I have a 456 and the build is about 26lbs but it rides light and I have no regrets in getting it (sold my trance to pay for it and I do not look back)

I fell out of favour with my trance after 3 years because the back end always felt like it was holding me back I perservered but had enough

I now ride a 456 and I do not miss the squishy bak end cos when it is rough I stand up and pedal and it just goes up and down with no issues

no more replacing 8 bearing any more life is again easy and alot more fun

just get it down yer chippa 😀

I run 120mm forks on mine and it is sweet on both the climbs and decents, I have no desire to go longer, my mate runs 100mm and he is happy

I know of one guy with a Ti456 and he went from 150mm forks to 100mm forks and prefers it with less travel

Sorry to hear

Please be strong for his lass ( and for him )

UP 😮

are you mad

mind Kingston was there I guess 😉

WTF does our halfwit politicians think we are

A major military power?????

er NOT

I do speak as a ex member of the forces and I am not decrying our forces but the lack investmest in them by the last 20 years of govenment

I have been realy lucky and never lived in a bad place, just places I did not like

TBH there is no such thing as a bad new car on the road nowadays

its just down to personal choice

was it the same river as I found in weacombe???

or a new one

I have reciently built a 456 and had the same issue with my hope hubs

yes there was too much paint

LX ht11 chainset with a surly chainring and a hope BB

used for several years

It works Simple

the lack of uphill wasnt for my benefit but for my unfit mate

that one is logged for future use 😉

looks like a top day out roll on the summer

consider a 456 I paid £125 for mine, I have a Cotic Simple and it's great and I wanted a Soul as well but they cost too much

Bought a 456 instead and I am a happy bunny

I am 5'8" and ride a 16" 456 with a 400 mm seat post because a 350mm post would be too short

the fit is great because the top tube is so long a 18 would of been a mistake for me

do not forget they have a high bb so gonad clearanse could be a issue

in all seriousness have a good break

see ya with a tan soon eh 8)

x 😳

forgot you like running 😉

RUN AWAY 😆
