    He will have the best medical attention available until his dying breadth with his suffering kept to a minimum by some of the best medical care money can buy. While he is in the hospital his wife and flunkies will be able to take time and enjoy the shopping, food and entertainment that a great city like Singapore can provide safe in the knowledge that they will never be asked were all of the money comes from or asked to pay it back.

    I will not regret his death, only the fact there is no hell where his debts can be paid in full.

    If less than 300GBP its best just to get off the peg unless you happen to be in Hong Kong or Thailand, even then some of the more western based tailors (such as Raja Fashions) are getting more expensive than say 2-3 years ago.
    Most of my work gear is bespoke, both Saville Row and local Hong Kong shops, and I have to admit it is difficult to tell the difference as most cloths made on ‘the row’ are in fact put together in China!

    The Man in the High Castle is a good read and if in the mood for PKD I would also recommend The Forever War by Joe Haldeman or Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut. Both are good reads with the storeys being more important than the sci fi element.

    Thanks for the pointers, both camera angle and length of video will be reviewed for the next ride this weekend.
    I will look to bring the next video down to sub 10 minutes if possible and add some music, the final edit will dictate what type of music though.
    Trail is on Lantau Island, Hong Kong and is a nice easy XC ride, next video will be more of an AM/XC mix.

    In the time of chimpanzees I was a monkey – Loser, Beck

    When routine bites hard,
    And ambitions are low,
    And resentment rides high,
    But emotions won’t grow,
    And we’re changing our ways,
    Taking different roads – Love will tear us apart, Joy Division

    She could never ever ever ever ever ever ever get it into her thick head – You fu#@ing Love It, Dirty Pretty Things

    Kobe beef in some small local place, in Kobe.
    Cut and cooked on a hot plate in front of me (had it rare) and served with salt and a glass of wine, best steak ever.

    If you bring it back as excess baggage you should be fine, especially with some wear and tear on it but watch out if you courier it, the last time I bought a bike via Ebay from the States the import duty was around 15%.

    Very eclectic mix here with with Pivot 5.7’s, Ibis Mojos and Orange 5’s being the current fad bike with the bling crowd and the hardtail guys being very partial to Kouta’s. In my usual riding group of 10-15 people not one has an identical bike, its a very mixed bag with Commencal and Titus currently leading the convert stakes.

    Just bought a Go Pro Hero 2, exceptional picture quality and some very good standard camera features but remember, the better the quality video (i.e up to 1080p) the more processing power required to edit the final cut. You may find that you will have to also buy a new PC to to do all this!

    Never used to use one in the UK but since being in HK I find them really usefull as we do not have the space in the UK and hiking is a national pastime out here so trails are congested. However, since a lot of hikers out here like to walk accompanied with music, including some with speakers mounted on their backpack or shoulders (I kid you not) you also need to holler out as well.

    Go retro…Invasion USA

    or on a serious note Pan’s Labyrinth always gets a quite ‘wow’at the end and its a foreign laungauge film so you can appear very metro.

    Cheating a little by cutting out a very large building to the right, but otherwise, its great to have mountains nearby….

    Sadly, the local cable car company will not let me take my bike to the top:(

    205lbs myself and no concerns, as said before it appears to only have been early production models affected and it has a 5 year warranty anyway, enjoy, its a great bike.

    Have 32 TALAS 140 FIT Terralogic forks on my ASR-5 (Alloy) and i never use the 110 setting, I just leave them on 140 even for long climbs, so maybe 140mm 32 Floats would be fine?

    Have a ASR-5, and for my weight (93kg) the manual puts the figure for the RP23 at around 190psi. If you can find your bikes manual on-line you should be able to get the intiial setup info in that, most people will then adjust this to suit their own riding style.
