You better hope that has seven layers of paint on it, because that's how many layers you have rubbed through.

It doesn't matter what the shop or Trek says, that is unacceptable wear, and if they provide frame stickers because they know there is a wear issue it is their job to fit them, not yours, not unless they gave you a discount to fit them yourself.

if you bought the bike built, it's their responsibility to make sure it's fit for purpose and cables wearing through a frame is not fit. It wouldn't be fit on an HGV or an Aeroplane and it aint fit here.

guy up the road from my parents has an old 500SL, 70's old, with the number plate DR X. Kiddy opposite my school originally owned WOW11OT (wow hot)which is on some famous Dodge now, and 5BEAN is owned by Sean Bean on his cheap ass TT.

Isn't that the same as expecting the next stones album to be a great one?

My Y plate 1.8 has 165k on it, apart from a the sump pan, coil pack and PS pump it's had nothing but consumables done to it.

There used to be a proper pen shop/jewellers just up from the Crucible. Walk up towards the town hall and turn right at the junction after the Halfax.

hl browns, just saw other thread.

Get latex tubes and get use to topping them up every 3-4 days, I haven't flatted in years, XC or downhill and laugh at Ghetto tubeless.

I live at the top of Sheffield, Ecclesall road side and the snow is melting away. Was out last night and it was good, but it was a lot colder. If the temps go up it's going to be muddy and very wet this weekend, find some stony paths.

For what use?

it's because you pull all the time and never push.

You can churn the M1 section around Nottingham at 60 quite happily.

Just throw some paintstripper over her boot and be done with it, her insurance will cover that. Then pay up for the excess…. conscience clear..

troutlight?

If you fold it in half and bungee it, and put the passenger seat forward, yes.

Did it two weeks ago,.

I ended up doing A Levels I wasn't really interested in and two years of a degree before I through in the towel and went back to art and design. Not really wasted years by any means, but they could have been spent better.

Just support whatever choices she want's to make, instinctively she knows where she want's to be, we all do. Better a change now than a tedious career and dissatisfaction for years and years later..

Can you ping the box?

If not he probably needs to 'spoof' the pc's ip on the router, it's the quickest way to access. basically the router is good to the web, but not to the pc, and the pc is ok, so log into the admin page for the router and reset to the pc's ip and subnet. ( WTF use the same ip for both of them? YUP)

open a command window/cmd.exe and type

ipconfig/all

reset the router to match and restart.

The quick option is to set-up the ip of the router to match the laptop.

A Kennel next door to a sandpaper factory.

It was dog rough.

That first Akido guy is so good he must have mastered the higher level of online invisibility!

KT, if they did this, then they obviously did it often, no doubt the sales guy was 'hired' back again the sec you were out the door.

They want to blow them up just before landing because that has the highest chance of being filmed/photographed.

I've used the Tenne's for years and years and years.. Washing machine proof, cheap to resole at Feet-First and good enough for the pub.

Nice song, would make a funny xmas number 1.

Way better than a cover from the loins of Billy-ray Cyrus's first born…

flick them: they sound different up the length.

p7 torch and a spare battery for the ride.

Finish line wet if i can't be arsed washing every ride, finish line dry teflon if i can.

Big Earl 2.3 wets on my Demo, time for the Tioga Muds methinks.

Bonty Mud x 1.8's on the Blur LT.

juan dont mix up Uk indoor grades with true outdoor grades, some setters and somewhat optimistic in how hard stuff is indoors.

All you need.

Apart from tendons like steel, fingers made from titanium, hips made from Plasticine and a dislike of pies and beer.

i think it's a great idea if correctly managed. Pretty big if. Who knows you could get to the bottom of the age old question- WTF do stolen bikes end up.

2nd Enigma…

They owe you a new watch…..

If I ran a junction or pulled out in front of a car with my headphones on then i deserve to be run over, it's my own fault. I seldom ride in rush hour town traffic, but use headphones at all other times on my bike.

Cyclists who rush lights and don't look over their shoulders when pulling out are going to get run over, headphones or no headphones. I can't hear traffic approaching when in my car, why should I feel disadvantaged by wearing headphones on my bike?

I kite-surf and Paraglide, both pretty dangerous in terms of participant to death ratio. However I can swim, I cannot fly.

Not even a little bit….

Selvedge is just a way of looping back the warp at the edge of the fabric to produce a self-finished fabric that needs no closing stitch. go look at curtain fabric on the roll in your local John Lewis, that's all selvedge.

Typically it only comes in yarn dyed fabric, not post dyed, as you wouldn't see it. In yarn dyed fabric the lighter coloured/white warp fibre is used to form the selvedge and gives it the characteristic tape edge look and feel.

Don't mistake selvedge for overlocked finished denim, the effect is similar, stiff flat seam, but one will fray the other cannot.

There a little Jap brand that does selvedge on both inseam and outseams, which means they weave the fabric in the shape of the finished garment- that's hardcore, imagine how time consuming that is, they can only make one panel at a time so have to reload the loom four times for each pair of jeans as opposed to rattling off huge long sheets 1 pair of jeans wide.

All the new warehouse in the world makes no difference if the product isn't in stock, pull the same trick a couple of times on a customer and you have lost them.

This is most basic stuff guys, you aren't winning custom by charging someone's card, you are losing future sales by not having stock.

coming back up the hill from the Fox house, just over the top past the T junction, hop the wall and into the forest on your right, and keep heading right on the way down where possible. Lovely little cheeky.

35 in 2.2s and 45 in 1.9s.

Captain Jacks Gay?

Get away, he never is. You'll be telling me that lovely George Michael likes the cock next.

It gives you the strength/durability in the lower race of a 1.5" with the stem choice of a 1" 1/8. But really all they did it for was to add another new standard.

New standards drive the industry and spawn product churn, simple marketing.
