    You’ll be fine.
    I’ve done everyone so far and survived. There were a few problems a couple of years go, but last year was super slick. They even managed to find another massive OR climb before the Waltenburg.
    And what’s all this talk pushing. if I can ride up it……..

    Good jacket. I’ve had one for a couple of years for general outdoor stuff. They are not pack light material. But a robust gortex they will take some abuse. You wouldn’t roll one up and stuff it in your jersey pocket. But you could get one in a descent sized camelbac

    Went to the address listed on the company letter head. They “were” a architectural practice. Got there and the office wasn’t built.
    Pretty big clue there….. keep walking.

    Had some pretty dire interviews where the job had been filled and just going through the motions.

    “You may find that in accepting a settlement (replacement of bike and clothing as declared at the time) that the driver isn’t obliged to cough up any more on terms of compensation…”

    No you won’t. Unless he came up a some kind of full and final settlement contract for you to then he is still liable.

    I’d have a chat with him, if it goes through the insurance you can always pay him re the bike.

    Anyways, heal well and have a merry winter solstice.

    Are the mk3’s a big improvement?
    Yes.
    Just take your time setting them up. I added some extra Velcro under the fork bridge to stop the front from sagging.

    Are the Scott Marathons any good – yes. Good routes, an easy way to spend a weekend.
    The Hope round is an easy drive from Worcester, the rest are on your doorstep.

    “I’m intrigued by the vague suggestions that PACE is rubbish with warranty support. Only one is first hand, and even that is vague.
    So, tell us more detail, preferably first hand.

    Probably because we’ve said it all before, and its a bit old.
    Loved my 303, but it cracked and I was treated like I was trying to defraud the carters personally when I made a warranty claim. I was just starting legal against them when everyone else’s 303 started cracking (that’s not true- just the med and larges.)
    they then relented and it seemed I wasn’t a liar.

    Before that I had some fairly off hand experiences try to get some forks sorted under warranty, remember the fork seal issues where the forks would stick down forming a vacuum?

    “As I said its rotor size and shape but with a bit missing out of the circle say from 12 o clock to two o clock. “

    That’s the really come version, which is a shame. If you that Ltd Ed Pro’s only version that is worth money, that has the cut out 10 and 12.

    I genuinely hope he is ok, but 2 days late in PNG is about 10 minutes European.

    Bear Grills wouldn’t be late, unless the valet parking was slow.

    This
    “That is disputed, she was doing times no other rider on the program now can match. The evidence for poor performance still has not been produced by BC. The failure to qualify for world champs is more down to the selection of younger riders, similar policy that’s blighted the mtb xc”

    As for high maintenance, I’ve spoken to her dad a few times, and he doesn’t strike me as the kind of person who would stand for any of that.
