Chocolate and peanut butter (Snickers). That’s what worked best with Marvin the mouse in my kitchen! He’d not touch everything else that I tried for the first couple of days. Put the Snickers out and hey presto, gone in an hour!

Put a drop of oil on them and see if it makes any difference. Also check the B/B and freehub.

Yup, Square taper crank bolts are usually M8 (I think) and isis is usually M12 or M15.

+1 Exotic carbon.
Been using mine for 3 years now and love ’em.

24 Bicycles Butterfly pedals or Wellgo MG1’s on a budget.

Most recently… Hobo with a shotgun. OMG, what a pile of sh*t.

Squirrel fritters with peanut sauce… ooh the irony!

Sean Bean?

It looks strange, in a stealth bomber kind of way. I like it though!

🙂 I haven’t fettled in a while. Feeling kinda frustrated… Any advice?

Ok… Daniel Day Lewis.

Jason Statham as Vimes?!!

He’s supposed to be intelligent!

He’s an actor. Maybe he could act intelligent?
Or maybe he really is intelligent and excels at acting not so intelligent?
😉

Jason Statham as Vimes?!!

Yup me too. Although I’ve also had the same thing with other posts. A quick clean in all the usual areas was all that was needed.

BTW, if you buy from Tesco, at the moment you’ll get a free Samsung blu ray player (I didn’t as I bought mine some months back).

Recently bought a Samsung LE40C530 for £400 and it does everything I need it too. Picture looks great on both sky and xbox.
I was dubious about the quality considering my previous TV was a £1600 Panasonic, but glad I plumped for the Samsung 🙂

Have you checked there’s petrol in it? 😉

I met a spoilt brat that was used to getting her own way and had hissy fits when she didn’t get what she wanted.
Her mother had taken her away from her father at a young age and used her as a tool against him. Proper nasty little madam she was.
Problem is, I met her when she was an adult and she did all the same things to me, that her mother did to her father.
Piece of advice for anybody looking to date a “I want” type of girl… Check the mother first 🙂

I have a spare half chain guide going if anyone’s interested?
All you’ll need to buy is a front mech clamp and M6 Barrel nut.
Payment by paypal, £6.50 posted.

Gusset Tribal R £25

1×9 here too.
After experimenting with different ratios, I eventually settled for a 40t chainring, 11-25 Shimano cassette & short cage road mech, and a SRAM chain.
I’ve used Gusset and raceface DH rings and both have lasted for ages with good performance.
Currently using this Raceface ring and it’s still running well after 3 years of use.

Jagwire.
I only ever use these!

Here

Good quality, works well, but heavier than most and expensive.

I made my own, here.

You won’t be disappointed! What colour did you go for?

Home made

I gotta get me one of these

Cheapest I can find is here. £60 + £2 p+p

Wellgo MG1’s are a very good pedal especially in their price range. Smooth cartridge bearings, grippy and light, but the paint finish chips and scratches easily. Non-important if you’re not fussy.

The B54’s are a steal for £20 Bit heavier than the MG1’s but well made and less costly.

I’ve used both and liked both (as well as more costly pedals) No point in spending more than you have to tbh…

+1 M520’s

Weight saving and they don’t corrode.
I swapped my torx rotor bolts for allen head instead!

crème fraîche, wholegrain mustard and white wine. Usually use parsley and onion too!

BB7 here too.
Had them and loved them as much as my Hopes. Then one day a thieving scummer stole my bike 🙁
Easy to set up, work like a dream and adjustment is done in seconds by turning a dial on the caliper… Simples!
Would definitely use them again.

start with some valve lights 😛

PeterPoddy; where did you get the top cap from and how much was it please?

My girlfriend and I visited a few bike shops, so she could see what type of bike she’d get for her money if we bought one new from a shop.
Unimpressed with the options available, we bought a secondhand 15″ frame which was in new condition, and all other components were bought new.
Over the course of 4 months, we compared a lot of components and I explained the differences in function, weight and value etc… Final cost £605 and she’s real pleased with it.
Only thing I’ve had to change is the height/angle of the saddle 🙂

Madison might have them?!!
Send them an email…

Debauch

Raleigh Mustang (pink one) about 18 years ago.
How bikes have changed since then!

4 months since creation and it’s still holding up 😉
