Totally agree with the added brace….Hideous….I have a 16in and i have thrown it down the worst of our Lake District rock and it reminds me why i have a ti frame!

Awsome. 😛

I have just bought a set of these at a really cheap price off e-bay.

http://www.projektwheels.co.uk/ in tubular form (glue on) I have stripped them down to put my own choice of hubs in. You should be able to compare pics of the 2 different types of rim.

Anyway, basically, a clincher rim has a vertical sidewall with a bead at the top for the tyre to sit in and a tubular (glue on) rim has a defined concave shape and no vertical side to it….

Hope this helps….. 😉

EDIT…. as aa said! 😉

Ah well. its not like we all didnt know who he was….. They will find another Stig to fill his boots! 😆

I bought a Ridley Dean costing $2200 ish and then got stung a whopping £279 over here 😥

Still, overall i paid £1700 and they retail @ £2600 over here 😯

I too have a LL and ride with Gav….mine`s been hosed down after wet muddy rides so no worries there. You could almost drive a car with mine on full bat (it has 3 settings kindly upgraded by troutie) 😛

Disclaimer ❗

I have`nt actually tried it and would not advise anyone to 8) i was merly stating how awsomly bright it is……

Go on you know you want to 😉

Thanks for that ntb… but when i said a long time ago , it was in the mid 90s. They were the origional M frames with the seperate hinged arms, It was the cetre frame that snapped and the lens was fine…. (which i still have the arms and placed on the bay for 99p, but there were no takers from 4 watchers) 😥

I will however bear that in mind as i still have M frames and a set of Radars! 😉

A very long time ago i was out on the darkside bike and it was starting to get dark so i took my Oakley M frames off and put them in my jersey rear pocket. Got home no problem, put the bike away, went in the house and sat down on the sofa…… 8)

Crunch ❗ One broke pair of sunnies! 😥

The Blue Iridium lens was OK though and i was able to buy another set with a clear lens…….

Also very nearly cross threaded a rear mech on the hanger on my Greg Lemond carbon road frame. Again, a very long time ago but managed to salvage it before it had gone too far on…… 😳

I also ride them…… (i ride with Gavgas on Tuesdays….) I have been using them for years and find them very good. I have never had a mis-shift and as for compatible grips….. I have a set of 90mm grips on. I think they are ODI (but it is worth checking).

Go on… you know you want to…. 😉

Extravagent and only ridden twice this year….. 😳

Only got it built in August and the season is now done!!!! 😛

Taken a little while ago, Mcmoab….

Gav and me on a very icy hill….again on the old bike…. 😉

Single speed UP the graveyard on Castle Crag 😯

and back down to Seatoller…..steeper than it looks as the camera is turned…..

Heading up Seat How…(in the middle ring) 8)

Have`nt you heard the old saying… Red n Green should not be seen without a colour inbetween! 🙄

Loose the red panaracers!!! With black tyres it will look just fine 😛

Should be on the "Lets see your green bikes" thread as well 😉

A couple of years ago, kids playing in the back garden…and the rabbit was out as well…….So kids are going round the edge path and one of them stops and says Rabbit poo on the path!!!!!…..That`s ok i said, just go round it…… 😛

Yip…they literally ran round it in a circle with me and Mrs stoney folded giggleing 🙄

Burley Bee!

Gary M……

I have last years LL and Troutie had to fix the lumi connector as is wasnt great and while he had it he upgraded it with the Boost. So it now has 3 settings and a flash mode if you want. You press and hold through a flash mode to switch off.
The Boost is brighter than your current high and it does make a difference but not to be used all the time as your battery won`t last long. I however get 2 winter night rides on a charge but i do use the lower one for road and a mixture off road…

Quality light though! 😛

American Flyers ❗

😳

I know it`s MTB… but a slash of colour does the job! IMO of course 8)

Would`nt last 5 minuites where i live 😉

But i do love carbon on a road bike….

see 😉

Im currently selling a campag road chainset with bb on the bay…..

Just under 1 day left!

Too much black… needs a splash of colour imo!! 😕

Hey Lowey,

Send the wife n kids round the Altura Blue. It`s still a nice challenge for kids….My 2 eldest do it quite well now and they are 9 and 7…..

Have a good one! 😛

We also leave the pedlar Sat or Sun afternoon, usually around 2.30 cause Mark owns a BnB, again for some techy fun…. 😉

I would have assumed this happens to everyone 10 times a year. 😉

Especially round the Keswick area!!!!! 😉
