sorry, mines just a bike

i like that evil sect, whens it due?

rutland cyclesare bt out the way for me but always with driving rather than ordering for decent service and often a discount too.

agreed, its a shame you cant plug it in to something to check the angle like your phone or something. still, at £13 its not that bad really!

i had mine chemical stripped for £40 (frame and swingarm), polished for £40 and clear powdercoated for £50, all by local firms found on tinterweb.

user-removed, i had this t'other day, ended up getting a nice, clear video of my foot going down a hill.

i had a little play with it this morning and found that if you take the mounting bracket without the magnets or the clip, unscrew the little screws that hold the camera clip to the bracket and turn it over so the camera mounts upside down. then mount it on top of your helmet so the camera sits down in to the central front vent with the camera the right way up (if that makes sense)and zip tie it in place its pretty easy to get it at the right angle. ill put a pic up later or tomorrow but im at work now.

if you recommend them to someone on facebook then they send you a 10% voucher. i just got my daughter to post something kiss ass on their wall and ask them to send me a voucher

+1 for coil lyrik, you can pick up 09 ones at very good prices if you look around too. try freeborn for a start.

taking mine out tomorrow, ill ppost something on here if i can work out how to edit it and stuff…

lol :oops:

is that chainring quite big or is it that its cut away that given that impression?

nice simple thrasher, i like!

just got an email from stw saying someone found my above post offensive. apologies to sambob that it didnt come across as intended, you seemed like a decent lad on the last ride and id be more than happy to have you along as im sure would everyone else who has ridden with you before. i was just pulling your leg.

sorry!

im deadly serious sambob. its the eyes.

:P

did your mini camera thing turn up yet? mine came yesterday, probably wont get chance to try it out till tuesday though.

isnt the thinking behind a two piece stem that you can machine more material out without it costing the earth for ridiculously complicated tooling, as opposed to it looking different?

i didnt clean it as a descent last time either! quite a lot of snow on the easy bit had me gracefully dismounting on several occasions

[we've had a word with slowrider about this -mod]

whinstone lee is muddy as owt along the moorland section, otherwise fine really. no snow at all around rowlee, hagg, win hill etc, though plenty to see in the distance

Slowrider means down the beast, push up the footpath then down Potato Alley? (I can't get my head round the logistics of that)

fail :P

i mean down the beast, up hagg farm, turn round and come back down hagg farm, then up pooks secret permissive bridleway.

i only mentioned potato alley as i got confused myself. i though pook had found a way to link the bottom of potato alley up with hope.

i prefer the beast to potato alley

it was muddy but fun on monday hora, not much snow around ladybower and win hill area but could see loads over kinder, cut gate etc.

sorry for yet another route related question pook! when you say the roman road, do you mean potato alley or heading in the opposite directon as in turning left at the top of the beast or turning right?

ta!

si at progressive bikes off here can do about the best prices ive seen, drop him a mail. the only reason i went for my lyriks was the coil+travel adjust which fox dont do (and the silly cheap price).

what you putting them on?

nice one. i use thattrail all the time but thought 30 of us trudging up it on a weekend might be pushing it. if we ar allowed then fair do's!

nice

james, i was thinking that, its a footpath i think but ive seen rangers on there and they have never minded.

pook, i dont know the descent from the roman road to hope, is this on or off road?

something to bear in mind when i get bored of my polished 5…

nice neat job, tempted to have a play with some graphics at some point.

if we are going down the beast pook, what about up and back down the hagg farm descent? those who dont fancy it can use it as a lunch stop or something…

lol swede.

clear powder coat or clear rattle can

as opposed to the plug my site a bit guy :wink:

good luck twang 8O

(seriously, i know his ex!)

becky_kirk43; no such luck with the motor im afraid, as usual the kids have places to be.

mister p, you going my way? :wink:

pook, sounds good. ive done all of that stuff but never in that orde4r, or even on the same ride (i dont think)

becky_kirk43; possibly, im in stapleford so not far away. depends if i can bagsie the car though, otherwise ill be scrounging a lift too!

hora, diddums :P

ive put my name down for some overtime that day.

guess ill have to cancel it :P

orange bike with two top tubes? sooooooo not niche;

Rafeali 07 ftw

i did a bit of jumps and stuff on mine at 100 (well,115) and it felt alright, much more flickable. to be honest though if i wanted a lively flickable xc bike i wouldnt buy a sovereign, no need for something that heavy imo. i reckon give it a proper beasting with a big fork.

is your stem quite long?

get a co2 cannister if you dont have access to a compressor, they do they job fine. also, try putting a luggage strap type thing round the tire after you have pulled the bead in to place as best you can. with a bit of fettling you can get the strap to encourage the tyre to push itself against the rim rather than letting all the air out.

needs flatties tho
