    Would have been better off saying nothing, going back into your home and try to get some video evidence and/or making a complaint to the old bill.
    I know it’s hard to remain calm when your children are involved, but start displaying anger and you play straight into their hands.
    Good luck!

    Never owned a car and probably never will.
    The walk to school is 2 miles each way and my nearest shop is half a mile away.
    Every job I’ve had, I’ve either biked it or car shared.
    If I need to travel further afield, I use a bus or train. Less expensive, less polution AND I’m still fit as **** (for a 34 year old) 🙂

    All this talk of alcohol has given me a thirst 😛

    Chainline problem?
    As above… you can use a 10spd chain with 9spd.

    2 frames with the same head angle but different length top tubes, would also make them different sizes.

    All tubes make a difference. I’d suggest finding a frame as close to the size and geometry as the one that you already have. Unless you’re planning on using new components such as different travel forks.

    Ah ok I get it now. Skoolshoes, I *think the point is that they can talk about Clarkson, because there is no injunction – this then suggests that the other claims are true, but can’t me mentioned as there really is an injunction.

    That’s what I meant, just testing! 🙂

    Don’t entertain any of her petty games and always try to remain calm.

    My ex ran off with my 2 year old son Harry. 6 weeks after, I found that she’d left me because she’d been sleeping with my supervisor from work.
    I lost everything and even now I don’t get to see my son.

    18 months on, and I can honestly say that I feel better without her in my life. Miss my little boy like crazy, but I know that she’ll make things as hard as possible for me to see him.
    Like you, I don’t have the money for expensive court battles etc and I believe that he’ll come to me when he’s older.

    First port of call is get down to Citizens Advice… and maybe go speak to a solicitor.

    Good luck and keep your chin up.

    I’m too thick too understand the OP.

    Basically somebody leaked an allegation about Clarkson and Khan.
    Due to injunctions, editors can’t say whether it’s true or not because they’re not allowed to talk about it.

    If it gets deleted, then it’s more than likely that it’s true… erm… I think?!!

    Some older bikes have problems converting from cantis to v brakes. The distance between the posts needs to be a bit wider!

    In-ear phones but keep the volume down low?!!
    I gave up on listening to music whilst riding the bike as it distracted me from what’s going on around me.
    Wish the same applied for the twa* that almost caused me to crash yesterday, when he was more concerned about choosing the next track, than watching where he was going 👿

    +1 for Three Fish’s technique.
    I only ever use 2 levers max (usually 1) doing it this way.

    Bin ’em. Tektro V’s are utter s**te. Replace them with Deore or Avid SD7 for a noticeable improvement.

    Just had a look at the description for the new shifters and it says “top cap cable change”. Could be this bit?

    Sorry if it’s different. I don’t actually own any. I’d imagine that there’s a blanking bolt hidden somewhere though?!!

    Remove the plastic blanking bolt, select the highest gear (smallest sprocket on the rear) then you should be able to see the cable. Pull it out and slip new one in, simples 🙂

    Stick the old chain back on, keep the new chain until you’ve got a new ring and cassette.
    I’m running 1×9 aswell and I’m going to run my drivetrain into the ground (3.5 years out of it so far) then replace the lot at the same time. Best way IMO…

    I thought it was established – spds are for puffs, not cheats ?

    Unless you’re a Bi-cyclist 🙂
    It takes a while to gain confidence using SPD’s. I used to unclip everytime that I thought I might have to stop, now I trackstand and rarely have to unclip.
    Jumps, drops etc… all clipped in!

    I’ve switched from flats to SPD’s, then back to flats, and back to SPD’s again. Been using them for the past 3 years and now find flats real uncomfortable.
    SPD all the time for everything! I loves ’em I do 🙂

    I suffer with mild eczema. My GP advised me to use vaseline!

    tk46hal, I almost bought one back in ’98 but went for a Trek Y instead. Wish I’d have gone for the GT. Still love the look of the LTS 😛

    I carry mine with me too. Heavy as a very heavy thing but you get used to it.
    I also have no qr’s anywhere on my bike, everything’s bolted.
    I even have plastic caps in the end of virtually all the bolts on my bike.
    Might not prevent it from being stolen, but it’ll slow down thieves and hopefully deter them.

    Yup providing you’re using normal crank bolts and not the “hollow” octalink bolts, that’d work.

    Since having my pride and joy stolen, I use nothing less than this EVERYWHERE.

    Knock the 5p out from the other side and start again. You don’t need the correct tool, just use a pan head bolt (with the correct diameter head).

    I’m sure it’s a nice ride but looks too plain and boring.
    Get some bling on there. Oh and lose the reflectors 🙂

    I used to have 5 bikes, but now have just the one. Don’t get the time to ride them all nowadays 🙁

    I remember having one of these in the 80’s. BMX scooter or “scootex” as they were known as, back in the day.

    321’s on Hope Big’un hubs. Took all the punishment that I gave them over 5 years and remained true. Wish I still had them 🙁

    Nuke proof, Exotic and White brothers forks all look like they’re the same fork to me!
    I have owned Pace RC32’s too, but much prefer the Exotics.
