    Running a Saracen urban Hack 2 here with those promax discs, they’re no worse than bb5’s and use Shimano pads.

    Will need p clips for front guard but loads of clearance, Tiagra 10 speed for less than £700!

    If not then you will need access to your hosting cpanel (control panel) so that you can change the entries in the database for users and passwords

    Have you been hacked? Do you still have access to the ftp and database?

    Oh and delete the standard admin user after creating a differently named admin user.

    Yahoo is playing nicely as IMAP with Thunnderbird on my laptop, K-9 Mail on my Nexus 7 and the iPhone mail app for me.

    Dhb from wiggle are hard wearing and comfy for my broad feet. Very well ventilated though so thick socks or overshoes in winter.

    I’ve had a sit on a crossrip and bear in mind the front end is quite high, should be good for off-road control.

    I’ve just bought one of these]these which doesn’t have quite as high a front end but stills feel like it should be fairly relaxed on the rough stuff, not had chance to ride it in anger yet though.

    I’ve been running Alivio chainsets on un-26 bottom brackets off-road for years without issues. Chainrings are Deore quality, last well and shift fine too

    Itunes puts me in a bad mood as I don’t have a Windows or a MAC – Linux only here :-)

    I’ve never had to do a reinstall of any other Linux based OS due to bloat out crud build up so what have apple managed to do to their version?

    Itunes you say, not if I don’t really want to get in a bad mood. I guess I’m just all out of love for iOS and I’m ready for a change, now come on Google (or Motorola-would love a droid mini actually!)

    It’s so slow on my 4 that I’m off to Android as soon as Google let’s us know what’s going on with their next phone.
    If it wasn’t suitable for the 4 they should never have released it for it without offering a way of going back to 6.

    If you like Clitheroe, you might like Barnoldswick too, we have a twice weekly market now so can officially qualify as a market town.

    Just don’t tell the locals they’re in Lancashire – they still think they’re in Yorkshire :-)

    Specialized Boroughs come in 700 x 42. I’m running them on my monstercross which does mainly road work and yes they roll slower than a 700 x 25 but they are plenty tough enough for most green lanes / tracks / towpath type stuff.

    And the UX guy we use for bigger projects told me to read this so we can tackle the smaller ones ourselves.

    I use Airdroid[/url]for file transfers which admittedly needs another device to mount the storage but works well.

    Not had the whole slowing down thing here either, is it only on your home wi-fi network or does it happen on others too?

    Had a Nexus 7 for a year and it can do all you ask but if I was editing documents on a regular basis I’d go for a 10″ one instead.

    Google drive & docs works well, can’t comment on any other office type apps.

    Another vote for Hayes Carll here, – I started with ‘K.M.A.G.Y.O.Y.O and other stories’ and soon bought the other 2 albums.
    Funny lyrics, good writing and a unique voice :-)

    I’m running Lyra road discs with Sora 8 speed sti and OK they aren’t BB7’s but if set up with care are at least as good as BB5’s.

    Schwalbe cx comps come in 35 are cheap and grip well off road too. Not had huge amounts of punctures, 1 or 2 but only when seriously off-road.

    Kenda Small block 8 come in 35 too…

    Their latest scam is when booking car rental through Hertz with them they ask that the car is returned with an empty tank and they charge you for a full tank however much fuel is left in!

    Of course they will be charging top rate for the fuel (about 10p / litre more than supermarket price).

    It was a damn site easier and cheaper returning a car with a full tank

    Had a 2.4 Maxxis Advantage without clearance issues in mine, 2.4 Ardent would fit easy too but then again you won’t want a Maxxis tyre anyway if you ride in a stony area on account of the flimsy sidewalls

    Self-hosted WordPress is what I would recommend. Take your time picking a suitable theme, think about what you want the site to do and what content you are going to put on it.

    From what little I’ve read tabs in Chrome on Android don’t support Chromecast and you are limited to Apps – not many at the moment and no iplayer app yet.

    I would hope it won’t be too long before that changes though.

    Also I don’t think Google Play will play music that hasn’t been bought from the Google Store.

    Specialized borough go up to 45c I think – I’ve got some 40’s.

    I’ve got some alloy rigid forks from a Canondale Bad Boy in the shed, black 1″ 1/8 – would have to measure steerer – yours for £10+postage if you like.

    There was a psa for 26″ SKS chromoplastics on here not long ago – I got a set for £7-8 I think. I run my retro mtb 26″ commuter with them and there is very little clearance left with a Schwalbe city jet 1.95″ tyre in there.

    Unknown – Have you had bikes in the back yet? If so was it front wheels off back seats down to get 2 in?

    have a look on youtube – someone makes a suspension kit to increase ground clearance – the Romanians have been off-roading them for a few years now

    Ordered a Duster mid spec diesel 4×4 a few weeks back – delivery due in October!

    Test drove a top spec one and found all of the faux piano black trimmings and colour coded gubbins just didn’t suit. Only reason to get a top spec one for me would be if you were desperate for air-con.

    Residual values are pretty strong too.

    Thanks mickolas but I’ve had a good look through and they only have qr versions of the 2008 lowers in stock for 26’ers.

    Hotlines don’t hany either. I thought I had found some 2013 lowers yesterday but they are now showing out of stock – looks like a new set of forks time :x

    Bump for the Monday morning crowd – the chemical metal fix didn’t work :?

    sockets in skirting in our house still in some rooms. Initial investigations found wiring as old as the sockets – i.e. perished and brittle, some fittings have no earth connections either!

    So we have risk of fire from bad wiring and lots of trips to the fuseboard. We’re in the lengthy and expensive process of putting that right.

    Minutes even with the 20mm axle are not all that stiff – (I’m comparing to a RS Tora QR version and a Marz MX Comp QR.)

    The Nixons with a 20mm are very stiff but bob alot without a lockout.
