I always reuse packaging from showers and pedestals etc as it makes sense to.

will1 made a valid point about excessive packaging and how we are expected to recycle it.

Less packaging less recycling!

I’d think “Sh*t how am I going to get that through the house and in the shed without being spotted?”

😆

If you are all so into recycling, the next time you change your groupset/forks etc don’t sell them on here in return for some cash. Chuck them in the metal recycle bay at the tip!!

Also if will1’s kids see that excessive packaging is ok, surely that is setting a bad example to them?
According to the majority of you lot it is all about cost!
Surely it is about not wasting things?
If a bike turned up in a bike box 4 times the size it is now, you would think why?

wwaswas – did i say they should be in a jiffy bag?

also if CRC can do it then why not others? i would have gone mad if my frame patches had turned up in a 12″x9″x5″ box.

I think it is odd that you all think it is ok.

Surely to reduce the amount we use/recycle it has to start at source?

So you all agree then that a 12″x9″x5″ box with 12 pencils which are already packed in plastic packaging then put in a box which is stuffed with sheets of brown paper is not excessive packaging?

How come when i ordered some frame patches from CRC they came in a tiny jiffy bag. Surely if it was more cost effective to buy 12″x9″x5″ boxes in bulk and then pack out the box with excessive amounts of brown paper to save costs, CRC would do that? Or are CRC Green for providing the right size packaging for the right size product, so not wasting packaging and then creating excessive recycling!!

I think will1 probably has a valid arguement as if you only get a tiny recyle box then excessive packaging spills over everywhere.
Or do some of you on here get your aupairs to take it out to your 3 bay garage where it is not in the way!

s – how do you know that will1 lives in Todmorden?
Are you a stalker!!! 😉

Maybe he has been teaching his kids sensible online buying techniques in the half term holidays, due to nobody having any money to go anywhere!

Driving to the PENCIL shop is a waste of diesel!!

If you go to a supermarket everything is packed in plastic then packed again, if they clamped down on retailers then there would be less recycling to do, and i suppose in time 3 weekly recycling collections which will in turn stop council tax going up!!

A bit harsh to call him a prat, you PRATS!!!!

give these guys a ring they might be able to help

make sure the e72 is the newer updated model should be an e72-2.
I had my e72 back in 4 times for repair within the 1st 5 months.
The guys at my local t-mobile shop told me the newer ones had been updated.

When i prolapsed a disc in my back last year i was told to lie on my back for a few days to try and let it slip back in. Got very bored but when it started to feel better i started moving around and after 2 weeks i could nearly move properly. 2 months later i was still aware of it.
Physio told me to strengthen my core muscles and not ride a hardtail!
Welcome to the world of glass backs!!!!
Hope you feel better soon mate 8)

Cheers for all your replies. A difficult decision due to not wanting a scar like above again. It really hurt!!!
The consultant i saw said if they are causing me problems then take them out, then if i still have problems when they are out then they would fuse the ankle joint!
When i have my foot on the floor it feels like i can feel them pulling inside(hard to describe).
I think i am going to try and contact the original surgeon as my damage was extensive and i have lost the Pronation and Supination movement of the foot.
Keep your experiences coming though

forgot to say i have a heel plate in there as well, so it wll need to be fully opened

fell about 8 metres!!

I have both an electric shower and taps if you are interested. email in my profile

You could fit bath shower mixer taps instead which would be cheaper as less work involved. Just need to balance the pressure of the hot and cold with a pressure reducing valve. If you have a combi boiler fitted then you will get quite a drenching when you use it, instead of a dribble. 😀

will1 – you love football i've seen you in your burnley shirt! 😉

Watching it tomorrow come near Eccleshall

I do not know you Sharki, but do what you have to do mate!

I do agree with some of what you have said about being part the system, it stinks!

If you need some bike bits or anything else, and i have something you need you are welcome to it (email in my profile).

People have helped me out in the past, so i always help others when i can. 8)

Directline were the cheapest for me for the 1st time in 18 years of trying! By a long way as well. Must be getting old!!

Mrs soops is recovering from an operation, so i am a waiter service today!!

A great view and very close to the Monkey Sanctuary.

When i ride i am always surprised how many other mountain bikers don't say hi! Roadies usually say hi though. A cyclist is a cyclist in my book.

A jewish man walks into Asda and slaps his cock on the counter and says, i bet you can't roll that back!!

Off on the bike now.

Play nicely whilst i am away 😉

obi – i said below the belt, i didn't say it wasn't funny, in a sort of sick twisted way that is!
Keep your hair on!

below the belt obi!!

Fight!!!!!!

I have been using Nobby Nics for 10 months with no problem. They seem to have worn well and are fast rolling. Grip seems ok around Cannock and up in Calderdale. I have been running them at around 30-35psi.
Just bought some Maxxis Larsens for a change. 8)

People who drive on motorways alot drive automatics due to stop/start syndrome. Apparently it stops aching clutch leg.

Looking good will.
Dibs when you come to sell it from lack of use! 😉
