This thread title should have read bi carbon curious.

Ah forget it! I been at the bar all day… Badoomtish!

I found all Easton bars to be far too stiff especially the ec90 monkeylite riser causing me pins and needles and numb hands/wrist ache.

I seem to gel massively with Deity bars whom also do carbon models.

I personally don’t trust anymore that is carbon for bars as it’s a primary contact point that area takes a lot of abuse.
I split my easton ec70 flat bars at the ends where previous owner had carefully fitted stubby bar ends, does that count…

It just aint worth it to save weight.
I would honestly say go for the most comfortable alloy bars in rise, upsweep and backsweep in whatever length you want.

Tbh I’d just cancel the contract early, they’re worthless cretins, whim like mentioned above strive to ripp off their only hope of income.

Tbh it’s not worth the saving over BT and the like, as you get what you pay for imo.

Sounds to me like they’ve left your account to future abuse of their own doing.

Please consider leaving them asap. Perhaps come to an agreement about cancellation costs with their CEO.

That’s if anyone could hear wtf christian bale was actually saying.

Screw ’em for all their worth!
Before more budget cuts!

Honestly though, I reckon your best bet is to count your lucky stars they did not cause any real damage, THEN things would be different.

A good analogy to this would be never to be a consumer of apple products due to the shocking enlightenment of the way they treat their employees not to mention their profit figures make me physically sick.

Oh drat, I’ve just realised I dropped my steak burger all over my ipad!

😛 😆

Celophane perhaps, get kinky with your rubber!

Urinate on them like taxi drivers, leadt you won’t get arrested if in a public place.

Just get the bike you want, it’s all just superficial nonsense anyway.

Buy a carbon Bronson then hire a super model to snort coke off.
Everyones a winner, be the envy of your mates.

Lol, waits in bushes to shout at njee – your a very bad naughty person for not checking your chain wear before/during/after a ride

I found that the fsa chain rings shift better than Shimano tooif that helps your decision.

I personally want a Ghost, the Wraith looks alright too but when it comes to it, I’ll probably just end up with an imported Chevy pickup for the type of use I would prefer to use it as.

Rolls royces, atleast to buy one, would be a pure moment of madness impulse buy although for cruising motorways then yeah great stuff.

Sram shifting on their own cassettes I have found to be so much slicker.

I wish I had kept my LE Sram X.0 kit now as XT is clunky in comparison.

Have had 2 sets of mtb versions and not once did the pedal insert come loose.

The ceramic bbs that come with them are superbly smooth.

But a lottery ticket

Wonders why you do not put in as much effort when buying a mtb… Lol

Seriously envious of your choice, I gave up on KTMs in the end after buying a faulty one so a Ducati looks like, well the one you are picking up atleast to be without niggles and proper jobby!

Will await a ride review sometime

This thread should lead onto a “how to stop neighbours dogs from chasing and mating with our cat” thread.

Things just got weird 🙂

I’ve heard houns you love a bit’a’tuna!

Or is that a bite of the tuna…

Apparently I learnt something new from the interweb other day which is not to leave a bowl of water for them near their food as they prefer it that way.

I had a Rescue cat who lived until 20 or so and had a whole family of them larger than my own.

I now have recently inherited 2 Tonkinese brothers who by very nature have traits of being chilled out whilst becoming lively at a moments notice.
Great lads!

One of them seems to like me far too much as he jumps up and suckles my ear lobe and kisses me a lot.
I of course tell him where to go if I’ve seen him just lick his stinky pinky hehe.

Seeing as this is a blatant sales tactic, I’ll offer a slap round your chops but not your loin & possibly a used rubber although has been stored in a clean BP fuel bin bag so may be reuseable.

Seriously though go phone Orange Bikes and get their opinion, hell they’re the ones who know how to competitively price them ;-d lol

There was me sure in thinking you were gonna be asking about recumbants whilst telling online how $#!t£ you’re feeling again… 🙄

😛

It is not noncesense but you are sympathising as a nonce. Ever thought about that ay yer slimey …

That’s an old wives tail btw.

If she’s 26 and your 39, tbh that is still slimey.
If she were 32 odd and bothof you shared openly your secrets laid out on the table from the word go then… Possibly a goer.

I personally wouldn’t as it would never sit right with me.
Is she foreign as don’t let that cloud your desires?

Think that Thomas Cromwell and Anne Boleyn actors are very much the dogs!
As for Henry, his performance skills are pitiful.

All round a good watch for those brushing up on what they forgot from school ;-d

That pic is seriously freaky!

Deffo 31.6mm post as all Intenses are especially of this era onwards.

Interesting…

And the mystery continues…

Jamj – that’s as far as my info intake I could take after becoming overloaded with jargon so far.

😆

Could it be that kiddy called Craig who was prosecuted for scamming lots of peopleon here and PinkBike!?

He also came lived in Bournemouth iirc.

If you haven’t been fully refunded yet, I would advise contacting both site mods to give their evidence and hand it to the authorities still.

Audi screams to$$er and VW Campers the old ones atleast scream attention whores plus the beards and orange single pivots = SPECIALLLLLL.

;-d

Rather than post this op, I reckon you should have awaited an outcome first.

This thread reminds me of a time when I walked into Newton Abbot’s finest ” cider bar ” where you literally think you’ve just stepped onto a pirate ship.

I casually ordered two steak and ale pies and two pints of strong cider and was presented with a plank of wood to perch on which was all very basic but man that pint and pie did the job!
I actually quite liked ths experience as a teenager as it felt ” proper jobby ” in a historic kindaway.

If I went further south and found this place then inbreds would deffo be found.

Tbh I can’t stand going to my local nowadays or in past as it’s unfortunately full of inbreaded toffs and rich so called ” farmers “.

So I have now found a great ph on the canal with great scenery and countryside walks whilst topping up on black dragon cider ( is a must try ).

Rev James is a really good cask ale but I have to go into town to get it. Sigh lol

Other than that I usually pick up some Stella on route back from work, mmmmmm lovely jubbly.

Awareness of your thought process is important to then correct and feel a weight lifted bit by bit.

Sounds odd at first but is a cery simple technique I found to talk a negative if it arised to a positive.

Think of your mind as a weighted scales, your wanting to balance if not outweighthe negatives.

Spotted that a while back but took away the silly profiteering price tag RS forks away as no doubt theh will perform pretty shitely.

Have seen one in the shop, theh look bad ass bikes with flare but essentially a standard carbon lay up frame.
I would it only if it were £1800 rrp.

Don’t be a sucka to RS overpricing and hype.

Try contacting an NLP consultant and see if you click then if you can find the energy to work with it consistently practising excercises, that should help balance the negative thought process that inevitably is caused by being “down”.

Build and strengthen positive neuro pathways – synapses.

Hopefully this will aid you through the rough patches and outweigh the negatives of depression.
It literally works quick but be prepared to open up to a degree and dedicate as much concentration to doing excercises.
It should be and will be tailored to your individual needs.

Stick with it if you do go for Neuro Linguistic Programming as this will be an excellent coping strategy(s) method(s) to use.

All the best! 🙂

Chapaking may want to actually try a set of X-Fusions before slating them!

They are simply the best vfm and are infinitely more reliable than RS offerings every time.

Have a look over at PB for their massive article on them.
Plus a chap on what was southerndownhillforum had a set.

Personally have not tried them but have tried manitou. I would of thought they are excellent for no stiction or very low stiction compared to the rest i.e. RS, Fox even.

They come standard on a £1700 Cube Stereo 2015 model if you agree with the puke green colour scheme then please, be my guest ;-d
