There’s a ’98 Subaru forester with 80k on the clock and 12 months MOT round the corner from. Looks well looked after too! Its for sale at £1k, if I was buying now I wouldn’t think twice.

I use gear cable inners in brake outer to reduce drag between cable and outer. (Doesn’t work with old Deore LX v-brake levers though as the nipple pulls through) and it gives a more positive feel and lighter action at the lever. I’ve yet to die in a humungous fireball in 5+ years of testing this set-up

Also found that Blank BMX levers and the road version of BB7’s give a good powerful set-up too (Converted drop bar to flat bar CX)

Oh and anyone got a spare outboard pad adjuster knocking about?

first port of call should always be your local Rights of Way officer. If there’s any history or future plans to the crossing they are likely to know about it.

http://ridewithgps.com/%5B/url%5D is what you seek :-) Added bonus is that you switch between follow roads and just drawing lines midway through a route to take in off-road sections. It snaps to quite a lot of the bridleways and tracks too as it uses OpenStreetMap data.

Only PITA is you can’t change the voicemail number from 905 without rooting :/

Latest kitkat update has improved the camera a bit – it’s as good as my iphone 4 was….

Moto G – can’t fault mine and cheap as chips

Campaign Monitor is fairly easy to use but they ask questions as to how you came by your contacts list so as to avoid spam.

Moto g from Tesco, yet to find its limitations

Running the saguaro tubed and can report that mud and wet grass overwhelm it fairly easily – doesn’t clear the treads too well. Roll well though so would be a good trail centre / summer tyre

If you have a seatstay bridge with a hole in it a caliper brake (long-drop may be required) may be a cheaper way. I couldn’t find a mavic adapter for less than £25 when I looked.

If you’re putting drop bars on it think about top tube length.

Seems to be as good on mine as it was on my Iphone 4

Duster seconded. Been getting 45mpg from my 4×4 diesel on a mix of short and longer runs. SWMBO is a short-arse and loves the driving position too

I have to keep telling myself I don’t need this one (another Edinburgh Bike Company bargain)

Mint but with a lighter desktop, like xfce would get my vote.

There’s a great ride on Ingleborough common starting from Clapham (best to start there so you get to do the tunnels) there’s a couple of bits of cheeky round that way which link with the bridleways to take in all the best bits.

this help?

I use this one[/url] on a client’s site – no need to give access to the back end

thismight help

Trials conversion maybe…..?

Older Pikes

Older Pikes

Running 20mm bolt through Minutes and Nixon’s on 2 different bikes. Nixon’s are non travel adjust and nice and plush and I’ve had no problems with. The Minutes (TPC+) have never felt right from a ride point of view – too soft or too hard despite lots of experimenting with pressures.

I recently broke the bolt through retention part on the lowers. The importer very helpfully sold me a set of new lowers (including seals) at trade price. When swapping the lowers over it was apparent that most of the damping oil had emulsified. With fresh oil they perform as well as a set of Pikes I was running whilst waiting for the new lowers (maybe not quite as stiff under braking).

No problem, my missus has a boardman flat-bar hybrid which she loves and has had no problems with. Quick and sturdy with a decent value spec.

I’m selling a flat bar-commuter in the classifieds here.

It needs a pair of mudguards but £20 would sort that out. I could also supply with a standard flat bar and bar-ends if preferred and I have a few different stem lengths and more road biased tyres if preferred.

Size-wise it would be ok up to 5’9 I think.

Indesign 2 is also available from Adobe if you have a licence (which might be freely available to anyone just by googling it ;-))

Scribus

Crunchbang is fast but not easy for Linux beginners. Mint Debian would be my shout for a first timer

I got one, is it Motorola assist causing the issues?

I run my Pomp 8 with a 32:20 which gets me up everything quite easily but spins out at around 18mph for me – I’m more of a spinner than a stomper. I’m in Barnoldswick if you wanted to try mine, it’s a small frame….

or buy british - Saracen

N+1 of my own that I finished yesterday [/url]

Used this guy for mine

Oh crap! There’s more here

Right you lot pack this in, I’m starting to get an itch that might need scratching, that MZ was the worst one- there’s 2 ETA’s sat in my dad’s garage…
Its bad enough keeping the pushbikes running without finding another money pit!

Damn you all!

(goes off back to page 1 to look at that etz321…..)

Sorry forgot to say the Pompetamine above is for sale too :)

Got a Pompetamine 8 in small (I’m 5’7″ everyday and it fits great. It’s got Mary bars on it at present but I have some straight flat bars you could have too. It’s not the lightest but it is quick and has plenty of clearance with 700×35 tyres on it. Pics here[/url]

You can run Inkscape (Vector) and Gimp (Raster) on osx too but you need to read this first if you’re running OSX Lion or later.

Some success has been had using road long drop callipers if you have a hole drilled in your seatstay bridge….

Speak to the PROW officer and ask them to serve notice. Is there a planning application in progress at the property or any development going on.
