rods save yer money

I use a length of MT2 pvc trunking lid to fish cables with

A Cobra would be just alot too heavy duty

I tried and wasted 4lbs of honey ( good job i have my own hives ) it was a disaster

I have made beer with 50/50 honey and sugar it worked well

But I have just bottled 4 gallons of elderflower wine tastes bloody superb

I too have given into the “noises inside my head” and I emailed smudge yesterday

But to be fair he has alot on his plate at the mo with all the orders

oh bugger sorry just saw this thread and I am in the Poo at work 😮

The reason is I do maintenance in a certain Spanish Bank and I reguarly get my #8 opinel knife out 3.5″ lock knife and none of the staff say a word.

Good job I do not take my #13 opinel with its 23cm blade,

Yes it is an overkill but I wanted one to cut my 50th birthday cake 😀

Phew

All I was after was a yes or no answer 😉

Thanks for digging that out much appreciated, it will be worth giving a go because if I index to the 5th cog the indexing at either end will only be 0.8mm out which hopefully is buggger all 💡

ART

I had the same misshap down weacombe highside off the bike and down the ditch 🙄

2 months off the bike 🙁

So you escaped swinetown then tis beautiful down here

newfoundland Screech

lovely stuff

yep just push em in

where have you been hiding 😉

The center lug in the fitting should be live

Somerton is the tops , smiths is good but a pain to get out of.

Frog combe is a blast

Weacombe is just dodgy as hell especially with the stream on the right ( I need to shake the monkey off my back) 😳

thanks FBK much appreciated she is asleep next to me snoring nicely 🙄

guess I am a bit soft

Don’t really like Internet diagnoses

agreed

She is leaking alot constant trying in vain to clean herself and wimpering which is not her of and by hell she stinks

yes I know about the 24hr service and we have spoke to them and they said ring back at 0800 because it is not realy an emergancy

season = a period for dogs

bruk just tried the cranberry juice she drank a little at 0800 we will be in touch with the vet
Thanks buddie

I had a 96 S/works steel f/f which had been hanging up for 8 years ish, I rebuilt it rode it and hated it ( it hurt my arms and arse, it steered like a barge it was awful)

Get something modern

Sorry

yep they work well for me I have them on both my bikes Purgatory front and Captain rear both tubeless 717’s gettoed and 719 with stans conversion

in ues all year round ( when I can)

ask him anyway you never know

get a V2 off smudge

WCA if you are talking of Polish Spiritus FFS give it a wide birth

Can you put me and the wife on the ticket list she wanted to go after meeting up at the pub on the Quantocks but we were away this year

spchantler – Member
yes, this time round. first one wasn’t, that says it all really

yep same here to, I even sacrifice time on my bike to be with my wife sad but true

Bol sorry buddie but bad news and good news

I have spoken to Paul at Cotic

We’ve been sold out of 54cm in orange for a while now. The next batch of >X< frames in arriving in September, but we’ve swapped orange for green this time for a change.

I wanted a soul a couple of years ago ( to go with my Simple) but £350 ish less I bought a 456 because money talks bullpoo walks, the 456 was good please do not be mistaken the 456 was a very good but I still wanted a Soul.

Needless to say I later on got a soul, is it a nicer bike than the 456 yes is it a better bike than the 456 er maybe the big question is of course is it worth the money YES[/u]

Try one is all I can say

BTW i will be back there end of October hopefully with a snot green X

Grum you missed the night market at Rochechouart last week was a good night loads of food and beer 😀

Alas I drove back on sunday 😕

well not realy but there is a route called “route de cour de lion” which follows the supposed route of Richard the lion heart.
Nice area well I have to say that realy 😉 not pan flat but a gently rolling easy riding area

linky thing

http://www.routerichardcoeurdelion.com/

I have a load of maps of the St Mathieu ( haute Vienne) area if you want to have a look

Daft question realy

Any thing has its limits, how you quantify the limits well there is anothere question

now that looks like a hoot

have a look at this

Brighter than a car fog lamp imho

Got an answer Kaffenbak disc only forks £40

not worth farting about realy me thinks

Thanks for the replies though folks

I looked at argos and I know there workmanship is superb ( they built 2 bikes for me) but tis expensive at £70 plus painting I would be better off buying new forks

mark I would keep the X as it is if that was me just to make me feel good 😉

But

“low end” tubing still rides well

it is not what it is made of it is how well it is put together, look at On Ones they may be made of gas pipes but they ride well

Just because a bike has 853 sticker on the tubes it can still be a dog

well you lot have got me thinking into getting my 20 year old Argos 531c bike back on the road with full campag 9speed all the bits are in my shed

It always handled realy nicely far better than the litespeed that replaced it and got sold on

Any ideas to where I can get some 1″ stronglight roller bearings from

RD me likey a lot

Comfort is a big issue for me

Mark

I use Endomondo and that seems to work ok on the X

Give it a go tis a free app so nothing to loose

my favorite is “Brain Doner”

I have a one X as an upgrade from a HTC Legend

Ok it is a big phone but it is very slim yet solid and feels smaller in the pocket than my old phone

Camera quality is superb I get amazing quality shots with it tis as good as a proper camera

Battery life is ok as good/bad as the old phone about 2 days but I always have an external psu battery pack with me

Ok so it does not have a SD card but for me that is not an issue ( well not as yet)

The download speed on the net is bloody fast

No complaints here

Ok so the S3 is out now would I swap er no the S3 feels a bit fragile to me

Git xxx

yep Taunton area is not bad at all ( after 20 years in Swindon )

But avoid the Devon Villages cos you will always be an outsider large towns are ok

WSM sorry tis a toilet I work there occasionally tis not nice in the town centre

Important things are Quantocks, Dartmoor, Exmoor, Haldon and the mendips are not far away there is alot of superb riding in the area

Ah but ref the forks issue I will be using a set of Project 2’s so that is one issue cured

As for the slow steering issue is it a problem on the road ( I find race bikes too quick steering for my liking )

Digger I appreciate your comments but I still NEED A COTIC X to go with my Simple and Soul

When you say “Slack steering” do you mean slow or not precise?

After 9 years it is time to retire my Kaff

doh repeating myself 😳
