their customer service appears to remind me of the highpeak cycles mechanic. was very rude when i took my bike in after a peaks pootle to see if they could sort the front brake. IMO, the bike factory is much better :)

i can, but only about 6 inches max, but i havn't had that much practice.

I've just thought of another one. Guy 1 in my year at school the other day got into an argument, btu walked off trying to shake it off. the other guy then said something about his mum, so guy 1 sprinted towards him, obviously about tosmash his face in. guy 2 dodged out of the way of guy 1s punch, and guy 1 smashed his hand into a hockey goal :lol:

you got a link to it mister p? funniest thing ive ever seen was my brother running into a sliding glass door. He bounced off it and travelled about 2 feet in the air before he landed again! fortunately he didnt go through it :)

okay. email in profile :)

could you email me some pics DrP? could well be interested :)

why not try an carbon ebay special? they were up for roughly £200 about a month ago. njee would be the man to ask on that subject.

could you let me know on this thread if he doesnt? could well be interested :)

CHUCK MORR1S, one of my feet is a ten, one is roughly 10 and a 3rd :lol: why do you ask?

Okay, screw that plan. the shop has size 10 on the drop down bar, but when i selected in it was out of stock :evil:

i know they are relatively unknown, but the cheng shin tyres that came on my merida have been fantastic, from mud all the way through to dusty singletrack. i dont know the name of the tyre, but maxxis use their rubber for their tyres.

the premises is for sale, so they are either moving or disappearing completely. (hopefully the latter of the two).

we went to see him in Buxton. i thought it was fairly amazing, but i was surprised he didn't talk about the bikes a bit more.

thanks for the replies, some more useful than others (jacko and captainflashheart!) i need to go back to gradbach campsite then beause thats were i last had it :lol:

would definitely be worth checking out winter park, great people and great resort. if you do go, try and get to the summit, insane views!

got nick craigs story on his punctures today. he got a slow one, then used a CO2 canister on it, then it didnt seal, so he a put a tube in it :) so he is with tubeless, but only when it works :)

i learnt a few things today.
1: stopping when using SPDs and not being able to trackstand hurts when you cant unclip
2: my dad can clip his right foot into SPDs but not his left for some unknown reason.
3: when washing is wet and it rains, there is no point bringing it in. becase when you put it out again, whilst still wet, but slightly drier, it will rain again.
4: i need to go to bed.

Shimano AM40s are amazing, i use mine with wellgo v8 copies and my feet havn't slipped off in 5 months of using them, and if i washed them they would look as good as new. Your feet only get wet if you actually submerse them, feet almost completely dry otherwise :)

decathlon or halfrauds, but your lbs might be able to do a deal because your buying a fair few :)

if you can afford carbon, then why not get carbon? reduced weight obviously makes climbing easier, but you may have to skimp on components if your budget only just stretches to a carbon frame. if you are getting a complete bike, then go for it. you wont regret it :)

one of my dads fell running friends tattoos. im sure most lakes visitors will recognise it. the tattoo was to commemorate his bob graham round.

my dc radars are pretty good, but nowhere near as good as my AM40's. i have the radar mids, look great and lots of support.

some of the storck bikes are staggering, they did one a few years ago and it was truly incredible. bike did cost 8 grand though :lol: i would love a frame covered in ying&yang symbols :)

you can get the code from scott if you have facebook, but you only need that to watch the mens race, the womens is free iirc.

hehe, thanks. his son sails at the same sailing club so had a good chat about dalby and him winning the first heat of the pickering street race thing and all the pros in a big cloud of dust after wiping out behind him :lol: and boxelder, that is most likely :)

cheers. does it help to know hes nick craig? :P

its Edexcel. the certain mentor/ assessor has level 2 coach,SMBLA leader and will have british cycling thingy by the end of june. he is in the first group to do it, some brand new thing. i dont think he could be anymore qualified, he spent 15 years on the world cup circuit aswell :)

fair enough surf-mat. Not allowed fell shoes, so can anyone reccomend some waterproof aproach/walking shoes? not boots.

mudclaws for trail races? try x talons, 118g lighter and more cushioning. :)

talked to leader today and i should be allowed to wear my adidas swoops fell running shoes and getting some sealskinz socks next week. i do llike the look of the inov-8 boots, especially the 288 boots.

kato – cool runnings by any chance? ;)

will be there by 9, heading up from peaks in the morning :)

can i get up it from stair? have you got a route map i could have? :)

someone must have something?

fold rear seats down if possible, means you can get 2 frames in horizontally easily, then wheels on top with sheet or something between to stop scratching. then stuff can go around bikes.

i found northwave shoes quite wide so may fit quite well for you. shimano spds are difintely fantastic value for money, go on for ever :)

wwaswas, im just northwest of peaks, but is still possible. we would really like to sell it, so will make some sacrifices :) could meet halfway or something like that.

i will admit plugging here, but we have a pearl export series kit for sale for £250, can send you an email if you like. where are you based? would be collection only im afraid.

TJ, i think the :lol: face gives away the fact that ton might be messing around? just a wild guesstimate here. dont take life to seriously, no one makes it out alive anyway :)

i was on a large tesla on sunday and im 5'11" and a bit and that felt perfect in contradiction to ash. i think the bionicon sizing is 17.5 for a medium rather than 18, so a large will probably be the right size for you. but then again maybe not after what ash has said
