Brilliant service and smudge is an cae guy to deal with
Oh and from £300 you will have alot of change :D

Na “trout” did once

OF make yer bloody mind up :wink:

On the same score look how often I use my Simple last time was when we were at Haldon and I loved it, will I sell it after a ride like that no bloody way.
When will it be used next I dunno but when it gets out will it make me smile hell yes
Thats what its all about :D

I have not done the plastic ones but do a Google search I have seen a how to page or 2

Which one are they ? Plastic or alloy

Specialized storm this time of year

summer time (sigh)

specialized Purgatory front
specialized captain rear

The above combo is the best I have used to date better than a NN RR combination in my opinon

on one framesets cos they work and are far better than they should be considering the price

benslow

I feel your pain

Jag bet yer right about the “gas safe” cartel

If theey ever knock on my door I will have great delight telling em where to go cos there is no gas i my village and we use oil :lol:

na tis black and red I did have a purple and yellow in the late 80’s alas I fell of too often ( some things do not change)and ripped it to bits

OF I bought it oversize 15 years ago and it still fits :o

On this subject folk say it is against the LAW to work on gas appliances Blah Blah
Who enforces this ??
Will the old bill be knocking on yer door???

No just do it

I wanted a soul but bought a trance caught up with the full sus hype

I got a 26er simple to replace my Inbred loved it but found that the Simple rode almost as smooth as the Trance

Sold the trance to go back hardtail but a 456 was £125 and the Soul was £475 no brainer and I bought a 456.

The 456 was a bit harsh in the ride ( bloody good though)

Bit the bullet and got a Soul and I am very very happy now

na I will just ride there the weekend before and the weekend after and save a few quid

bloody hope not I have heard of your sorts

bobsoff I may see you up there cos I am up there with another trail monkey/ bafoon

A lot of folk have a Lactose problem as did my wife so she thought but she found raw milk was not a problem :?

The actual issue is the Homogenization process and she finds unhomogenized milk is also no problem

Our local farmer alas cannot sell milk at the farm gate for human consumption but fortunatly he will sell us “dog milk” :D

Countzero I feel your pain

I worked at Lyneham for 18 years both uniformed and contracting, I drove past there last month and the place was dead and I had a huge lump in my throat with sadness

I thought my fixed rate was steep at £350/annum.
£621 is criminal, which water company is that?

You want to try living in the South West Water catchment area, that would be considered a small bill. Even with a water meter my bills are astronomical.

Yep South West Water bless em our water rates were about £970 a year ( 4 bed house) and that hurt 3 people showering every day eco bogs / washing machine / dishwasher / immaculate bikes / dirty cars

With a meter we are now paying about £110 a quarter

It is a monopoly I can get electricity/gas from tescos etc but water we have no choice

I love you

I am in my second house where i have had the cavity’s done sorry but all is good for me< I have no concerns what so ever

I run a 11/32 9 speed cassette with a triple 22/32/44 chainset

I hardly use the 44 so no problem but in the big ring towards the top of the cassette could be disaterous

To be fair if you are that close and someone has gone to the effort to build it , well it would be rude not to :wink:

ok another way of putting it

How much would you pay for a 4 year old roadrat, Hope Minis are hardly the latest in brakes

A few of us will be up the Q’s next sunday armed with folding saw’s for a bit of trail clearing.

But tomorrow afternoon I think Haldon is a calling

Thanks for the reply folks

I appreciate PP and others comments about the frame being er orrable when loaded but loading up is not something I am contemplating, I will keep the Kaff for that I just want a comfortable road play bike

Alas at 5’8″ as otheres have said I am in between sizes but because I use a medium Simple (26er) and Soul because the Small was too short I will have to wait for the next delivery unless a medium pops up at the right price :wink:

Tis ace stuff

tweeking on the cheap

Panasonic all the way I have 2 of em ( both are working brilliantly Long story ) the important thing is use a good strong flower

For us Waitrose flower is the best but we cannot make a XL loaf because it rises too much and hit’s the lid on baking. Lidl flower is also very good and about £1 cheaper to

Have you got the wheels, and what are your thoughts?

is it a single rcd to protect the whole house

or is it a combined 32a 0.030 / 30ma rcbo

Yes there is a difference if the rcd trips do you loose all power in the house?

please advise so I give the right advice

We have one a 2 seater from ebay sorry I cannot remember the make but it is really well made in my opinion
We do not have a real canoe to compare it to but it is bloody good fun and thats all that matters 2 adults and 2 golden retreviers on board.
We even took it to the dordogne but when we got there we hired a canoe because we had a 10 mile paddle down stream and a bus ride back ( who the hell wants to paddle up stream)

look at second hand I got a set of 130/85 mmm U/turn coil revelations off this forum reciently for £130
Much smoother than my dual air revs

Ok so another dumb ar5e question on the same subject

Are 9sp chainrings/ chainset okay to use or are they too thick or is the chainring spider too thick?
I do appreciate I need
1 10sp rear mech
2 10sp Cassette
3 10sp chain
4 10sp r/h shifter

The Falklands is most miserable, depressing place I have ever been.

In the late 80’s I was there for there winter ( 4 frigging months ) and Winston Dog is right, I could not wait to get back to the UK and I lived in Swinedoom at the time 8O
