Is it really an issue if they pay for it?

If your "propa 'ard" why not just run it? Hitec Silver shadows are £20 on Fleabay! 😉

How far away is work?

I recently moved to a diet based on the Primal Blueprint dead easy, to follow, lots of meat, fish, fruit and vegetables, mixed with nuts and seeds.

You mean eating a health diet then? 😉

as I've played MW2 to death what would people recommend

Presuming you've played on-line?

What does Google know?

Google knows everything, everything i say!

Mwahahaha 😈

If you type 'does a headset come with a crown race' into google and select UK only, this thread is only third on the list.

If you type "Probably a stupid headset question" it comes out top!

Keep at it chaps/chapettes – We will rule the world one day 😀

You decide 😉

Cant bear to pay £20 for genuine shimano ones!

Should have thought about that when you bought them 😉

They are the same as the XT. SSC stock them, if you can bear the shame of using "value" components in your high end brakes that is! 😆

Anyone wanting a bit of fitness or want to ride with an organised group. There's the last Reliability trial of 2010 leaving Eddlesborough this Sunday 65 or 100K good mixed route and virtually all lanes.

Waymarked and sets off in estimated finishing time groups

With people you can't trust on descents? No one waits if you get a puncture? Attacking on hills, when your eating a banana or having a wee?

Just like a club run then, count me in 😉

Are we on page 14 yet?

I never needed it in 1984 and don't need it now!!

What happened in 1984? 😯

Buzzlightyear – You want to ask for a refund there, they've got holes in them 😉

At this time of night?!
Gives you nightmares.

I'm scared enough being up here on the dizzy heights of page 13, so a bit of cheese wont do any harm!

Cheese anyone?

I only know of a few people who can start one without the string. *obviously* I can.

Obviuosly 😉

I think it's time for some willy waving on this post. So, your best RPM ladies (if you have a willy to wave) and gents!

8200 RPM for me, must try harder 😥

Yep, other boy/man seperator. Who can start a powerball without the string?

What string? Just flick and spin, So to speak.

shave my shaft

😯

There is a surprisingly large amount of decent* riding to be had around Hertford if you know where to look. It’s Classic XC – field/bridleway riding with a few tricky singletrack sections in the woods. Most is best saved for the summer though; as it's rather muddy out there at the moment!

I'm looking to set up a casual mountain bike ride on Sundays starting from Hertford North Station if I get enough interest. Email in profile.

*Yes I know it's not the Peaks, Quantocks, Highlands or Llandegla but it makes me smile.

I will be leaving on 1/4/10 and this letter is to give the required 4 weeks notice of my intention to quit finish working for you.

That should do the trick. Plus add a sentence about your holiday entitlement, perhaps also a line about how you have enjoyed working for your current employer (without sounding like a bottom feeder of course).

Keep working effectively until the day you leave. You never know who is watching and remembers a good egg.

you wont need them to be fast.

run what you brung

Set up a single 32 ring on the front and a 11-34 block on the back.

Stop him learning bad habbits early in life – Dropping onto the granny is a VERY bad habbit 😉

Job done.

1×9? Or is your Son spinning out the 44×11? 😯

What Bristolbiker says

About the same as its been for a while, seems to have fallen out of favour a little with the creation of other trails in North Wales.

That's why it's so good. Roll on spring! 😀

Try anything you feel happy riding down a rocking singletrack at speed with 😉

The best magazine was the one the boys gave away free* at SITS back in the day(TM). There was an article about shoes, which i think set the trend for the magazines future!

*Free stuff is always the best – FACT 😉

apart from the cracked headtube is in fantastic condition

😯

You could have done an hours training session in the time you have been posting here 😉

This is England, winter breaks bikes and bodies. Crack on fella!

Original from 70's surfspeak – to describe waves that are violently breaking without the form that would render them more rideable.

Can also describe less than ideal females.

"I'm bailing on this session-waves are too gnarly"

"I had to ditch her friend, she was lookin' gnarly"

I'm going to use the second version when next out on a friday night!

How "gnar" are you expecting to get when snowplowing down a blue? 😉

No problems here.

User error perhaps? 😉

Looking for opinions on best trail or XC bike that can take the trails fast.

Attacks hard, but rides light and picks great lines, rather than bashing over everything.

The bike or the rider? 🙄

Are you ****ing us?

Do you think he works for MBR? 😆

Eat well, drink plenty of water and sleep lots.

Minimize stress on your body so it can use all energy to recover.

Oh, MTFU while your at it 😉

I don't camp, just wait for people to come to me, kill them and move around the corner. 9 times out of 10 they'll come back and look where I was before. I then kill them again and move on. Repeat til end.
Unfortunatley I'm not good enough to kill people by finding them.

Thats what all the true campers say!

I'm the other 1 out of 10.

You hear that "tink tink pop" noise? That’s a stun grenade. You can't see any more can you? What a shame, you’re dead now.

😆

Stealth approach will get your K/D ratio going in the right direction.

Bloody campers 😉

If it wasn't for fashion, all handlebars would be flat.

Try telling RaceFace or Easton that 😉

The differance is massive the descents are so much better because i used to still be recovering from the ascents on the descents if you know what i mean

Not really but carry on 😉

If i worked on a cheese counter at Tesco i would pass the time by f**king with customers as well.

Pretending to be an idiot was one of my few escapes when i worked at the big T while studying. It was great winding the "customers" up.

i mean its about bikes. who cares if someone is 10 stone or 20 stone as long as they enjoy what they do

Well put, I agree.

Though for some people being 10 stone instead of 20 will mean they enjoy there riding more. As beerbelly pointed out.

Try riding Mont Ventoux with a 20Kg rucksack. Then do it again (after a couple of days rest and/or a dose of EPO) without and tell me which was more fun 😉
