    good time with the type of wood 😉
    did you use bolts, screws or a combination?

    Thanks

    thats odd, different people want different things from mtb mags! 😉

    they all have their own styles & interests etc so surely its a case of buying which mirrors your interests as close as poss.

    yeah but they got properly dealt with when they spear tackled BoD and apologised he go hurt and wished him well which was nice & sporting… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsXJyDHFKn0 😉

    In sports such as football and rugby with referees sometimes mistakes & bad calls happen. It’s crap but its part of the sport. Which is why I’m not really too bothered about who wins in the end but the way they played. Its just fun to watch (and probably even funnier when cock-ups are made in very important games) 🙂

    p.s. agree with Bentos 2nd paragraph.

    yep, Wingnut here too. Fit my pump to the frame sometimes or carry a CO2 when being lazy, so no rooting around.

    OP asked where the NHS should stop their services. Thought it meant all their services (including health care), not just taxi’s & translation costs.

    Sorry, will leave you all talking about racism then and I won’t mention translators needed to interpret the hospital staff before I leave then 😉

    for people who do ‘extreme’ sports, like riding fast & jumping bicycles 😉

    Hell, any sports actually. Got friends who are constantly in and out of hospital due to football injuries.

    they do different straps for people under 5’4″ but that’s it other than different sized capacities.
    they do feel odd at first. how does it not fit?

    sweet thanks.

    Just wasn’t too sure about that dongle as it seems to be coming from France and is cheaper than all the other identical looking ones.

    singletracksurfer

    haha, MSP those where my exact same thoughts (too pricey, so thought about a timer plug and slow energy daylight bulb). Might still do that but that Maplin offer looks like a good compromise.

    Good. Consensus seems to be that they work and are worth getting though.

    great thanks. Yep my NAS (hard drive!) is t’internet linked and I believe it’s all compatible.

    So, is the linked item (dongle) all I need then Cougar?

    Thanks.

    just saw a pugsley for sale and wondered…

    oh yeah the grinding & chain suck, that really… sucked 🙂
    no great damage done here, but then I didn’t brake on the descents 😉

    Thanks all. Thats great Z1ppy.

    I want something that isn’t totally over powered by the 872 and creates a tighter spot light.

    nice vid, thanks. It was cold & muddy, but very enjoyable.
    Didn’t bother taking my gopro out on the ride in the end as I thought it was going to be too muddy and wet 🙁
    It’s all boring and dry back down here in the south east 😉

    singletracksurfer

    yeah On One, but don’t buy them all up until I’ve made my mind up 😉
    Half Price 🙂

    Thoughts on them? Can’t find any reviews on-line.

    Running mine as a rigid SS, but it depends where you live.

    Anyone got or rate the RockShox Reba RL Air 100mm 29er Fork (with Poplock) for going on the Swift? Considering getting some as they are going cheap.

    no exactly disposable but cheap and very good http://www.roughrideguide.co.uk/Go-Pro-Camera.html

    Yeah that is too pricey for me too 🙁

    ta. Might be worth a read for me then – thinking of getting a new full sus (possibly a 29’er one too) 🙂

    I use the 1 litre waterproof Ortlieb Mudracer – great bag.
    Lasts well because the zip doesn’t get gummed up with cr@p and break like my other saddle bags have done.

    Thanks. Yeah thought it would/should be the Beast.

    Ah, hadn’t even thought of popping over to Pen. Might have time to do that.

    So The Beast (is basically MBR & Dragons back), so that just leaves the Tawr at Coed. Better to go to Afan then yes?

    am I right in thinking the Nikon D3100 is good for a relative novice?

    To be honest I really don’t enjoy fiddling with knobs, I just like to get down to action 😉

    singletracksurfer

    thanks people, that has helped me not just dive in quickly and get the Samsung before the offer expires. Yeah Nikon was my gut feeling.

    singletracksurfer

    thanks don, thatd what I’m concerned about.

    singletracksurfer
    Full Member

    the reviews look pretty good, but no one ever really talks of samsung for cameras.
    wondering if I’m better staying with something like nikon d3100 without such a ‘deal’ on offer.

    singletracksurfer

    yeah that would be fine. technically is foable.
    wide mettled surface, flat and virtually traffic free apart from road crossings.

    the (ex) mtn high group still do rides.
    can’t think of the website tho but if you have any of their emails try them.

    also http://www.roughrideguide.co.uk do some from and around reading as well, but not so regular.

    Go Pro for sure. Got the HD model myself, but this http://www.roughrideguide.co.uk/Go-Pro-Camera.html is also very good and more than enough for most people.
