Personal highlights are Adam and Joe (6music), Friday night comedy from radio4 and Kermode and Mayo film reviews.

My wife tells me it’s when I stop finding farting funny.
Or is that being mature?

This.

I don’t drink or smoke, feel great and get regular exercise @43.
I have loads i want to do and i think that keeps me perky (baby).

Great film by the way.
The 3d didnt detract from the film at all. I did think the best use was whizzing over Asguard and the whizzing through space portion of the credits.

Oh, and do wait till the end of the credits…..

I’ve just replaced some 959’s after nearly 9 years use and 1 service.
The only reason i’ve got the new xtr is because i wanted a newer pedal.

Also, bear in mind as has been said above, online ‘chat’ is a nightmare and will include homophobic, racist, ignorant comments as well as an awful lot of swearing. Mainly from our colonial cousins it would seem..

The certification of both games is slightly different. Black ops is an 18 certificate, just like a film, whilst Halo reach is a PEGI 16. PEGI is an indicator of the content and the age range it is intended for. It is not a legally enforced certification. Black ops is a certificated 18 title and as such, the content is intended for 18 and over.

I have the joy of dealing with ignorant parents who coldn,t give a damn that their kids want 18 cert games despite not knowing the content or why it is an 18. Most just say their friends also have them and still buy it to keep them quiet. The debate on content and the effect it has will go on, but if parents dont give a crap then the kids wont either.

My daughter is 9, and has watched the odd 12 cert film (after we have checked) but i won’t let her see a 15/18. I guess i’m a little old fashioned.

Pro bolt are much better quality than the tibolt stuff. the tibolt stuff had a rough machined feel, whilst the probolt kit was very nicely made with rolled threads (much better).

A bit more expensive but worth it. They do a nice blue tint option on the Ti as well.

Personally I use Ti for the seatclamp and alloy for everything else, including the chainring bolts for the rear dropouts. Not had a failure yet (hugs wooden desk).

Personally, I’d contact Middleburn and explain the situation.
The cranks come with a lifetime warranty and are modular. i can see no reason why the axel cant be replaced. Shame to replace some fine cranks.

I have the same cranks and have just checked mine are ok.

Buy some notubes sealant.
Job done.

Topeak Alien. Brilliant.

Agree with the add 10% contingency, possibly 15%.

The only thing I’d change would be the budget for the kitchen to £15k.
My wife would like to double that…..

I quite like a bit of Metallica, but that cover was shite.
The Garage Days EP was good though.

Personally, I’d contact the LBS that built the wheel and get them to sort it out. I’ve built wheels for the past 10 years and have never used any threadlocking products. Never had a broken spoke either, but that could be down to coincidence, etc.

You can pretty much do all the stripping/re building yourself, i would say. The only things you couldent do with a multi tool would be the bottom bracket and headset. Could save you enough cash for a shiny bit..

I have been caught/might get caught/might have got away with/feel bad about/etc. What should I do as you judge me from your moral high (dandy)horse?

17- Bloke from Charlatans?

A Biggidy Biggidy Bong means that an awsome radio show will be on, that none of the suits gets, will be cut off in it’s prime afternoon slot and be rememberd as the greatest show on earth. From Manchester.

If it gets really cold, run it with 10wt oil in an open bath stylee.
Works very well and keeps it nicely lubed inside…. (fnar, etc)

I’m in Weymouth! Well, not at the mo’ as I’m at work.

As gonetothehills has said, lots of great riding, especially xc. Puddletown forest is pretty ok for a bit of xc dh.

You haven’t got anything to do with the current road changes going on for the Olympic’s? Ruddy awful. If not, welcome!!

I’ve got an older one, but i run my forks with about 30% sag, and have the rear shock set up fairly firm. A good starting pressure for your rear shock is body weight+kit in lbs= shock pressure. you can add or remove pressure to suit.

With the rebound adjuster, set it to max and then dial down by 3 clicks. Again have a play to see if you prefer it a little faster or slower.

I’ve got a propedal shock but tend to not use it much as the maestro system is very good.

HTH

O Bugger, looks like The Matrix is borked again….

2 people+ 2 bikes in the back with the seat down in my 172cup with a load of kit was never a problem.

“Time for a quick catchprase?”

“Maybe a half…”

“Stop!……………………………….”

:(

so, Dark Matter anyone……?

Babylon 5 was great, if a bit dated now. Storyline over the 5 series was good. Farscape also reccomended. Neverliked the new Battlestar Galactica much.

Curried fish? Blergh..

We have a black granite worktop with very dark grey porcelain floor tiles. Looks great against walnut cabinets.

YGM with reciept, as well. Good luck :D

oooooooooh, B….

I like the fact that as the universe is expanding, the expansion is accelerating faster than the speed of light 8O

And, what are we expanding into…. 8O

Hachi: a dogs tale is much much better than Marley and me.
It has added Richard Gere swooniness for the ladies…

No problems here, with olympic rims and stans tape/fluid.
I did find that it worked best with an extra half measure of sealant and making sure you take time to evenly spread it about the tyre.

^^^^^^ They all lie!

You would vibrate so fast that time would slow down. It would be one of the best episodes of Futurama……

Possibly a bit unconventional, but works for me.
I love them and find the shape much more comfortable for my wrists.

“Son, I want to buy you something nice to remember me with”
“Why’s that Dad?”
“No reason, Son, no reason……”

Seriously, get something nice that maybe you wont use all the time, but when you see it will make you think of your Dad. Not a tankard either :D

Are you turning the forks through 90 degrees to rule out headset/brake/axel movement? Worth a try.

Did you get new seals for the lowers when you changed the uppers?

Jeff?

I think that is quite brilliant. Hats off to the chap.

Some of the comments are quite funny, especially as Graham Obree used old washing machine parts when he built his original bike.

Snowed in, so I’m going to watch the ‘Flying Scotsman’ again this afternoon.
