We won’t go anywhere near it, we are skint, we wouldn’t be in Afghan if it wasn’t for our promise and contract.

Find the dana hotel. Upstairs bar called 49ers, on a saturday evening. Will be an eye opener for you

Working on tornado I can say the designer of the thing was a crackpot, sorry for the loss brant

This really annoys me about planet x/on one, I love the product and I love the way Brant, comes here holds his hands up and tries to sort things out. But why isn’t the rest of the staff being so accommodating?

Strava? Surely

In classic stw tradition, I’m goingto recommended what I have, but hear me out. Giant anthem, but running 120mm fork, short stem wide bars, 1×10 and recently fitted a dropper. Ace on xc as designed for, extra weight added? Can’t really tell, very good on the descents, ridden the beast in the peaks no bother, only time i felt under biked was on an uplift day at bringewood, and that was when I was running the fork at 100mm and long stem

Bare mindw With an uneven garden a push along cylinder variant as being recommended will be awful. Any bumps and it will bottom out and be a pig to use, I learnt the hard way

Nope no hole

Same bike same year, I have no hole

Good lad! Junkyard stop being a holierthanthou arse

Well blow medown, turns out I’m too trusting, and to the op, not just Ribble sell them, I mean any other place, you could buy from, you’re always taking a risk when buying second hand

Some people take this internet buying too far, very small amount of scammers out there really, I concur with bradleys comment to be perfectly honest, if you can’t take a risk for half the price buy elsewhere

Leave as is, Monday and Tuesday read all, Wednesday skim read, Thursday read the title, Friday delete all, job jobbed

Fir the love of god, won’t someone answer the mans question!

Top work! Impressive effort

Update please? How’s the stomach? Always a mess of the ablutions after some scrumpy drinking

Don’t even worry about it. I challenge you!!

Drink it all, enjoy it, don’t worry about tomorrow, it never comes (unlike the babysitter)

Send me the paper please, love to see how a hard material in a soft one will increase strength in a ‘pulling force’

Just a thought how many people with torque Wrench’s or soltorks, know how often these things should be serviced,and then have them done?

Your torque wrench has been dropped/mishandled and is under reading. Get it on an analyser and see what’s what

I have said time and time again if you can’t guage 10nm torque by experience you should probably not use a torque wrench (whether calibrated or not) as you are not cut out for tools.

And a torque wrench certifaction means sod all, time and time again I have seen Wrench’s (with in cal stickers) not making correct torques.
Unless you check them each time they are as useful as my calibrated arm, 3 white knuckles, or whatever you use.

For pinch blots you must have strippedheads for it to be over right. Don’t worry!

Heli coils are not stronger as Larry suggests. They add a variable into the mix, yes steel bolt/screw into a steel helicoil into ALU, maybe but you still have the less hard ALU holding the helicoil

Gunk is the best

I had a very good session last summer, woke up with a stinking hangover, huge cut on my elbow and gravel rash all up my arm. Looks out of the front window, to see my FS laid in the middle of the lane, where I had abandoned it. Good job I live on a very quiet lane.

What’s wrong with some nice flip flops, rather than just giving up on life and wearing crocs

Five and drive!!

Agree with molgrips on the local free paper ads. My best hunting ground is on facebook. Find a page for cheap cars in your area, there are loads around.

Easily, last car was a Volvo v70 bought for £350, from e bay, unseen. Did a years happy motoring, covering 12k miles, coming up to mot time, thought it would cost a few quid, so sold it for scrap for £200.
Found myself a little, fabia estate, again with 12 months not, high mileage, but impressive condition an service history. Covered nearly 4k miles in it, no bother, and it returns 47ish mpg. All for the staggering sum of £450. It can be done, if you know where to look.

Smart water. And etch/stamp/mark all your tools up with name and address?

I had 4 weeks this year with a broken collar bone. So was useless at work (aircraft techy) on the other hand my old man had a week off with broken ribs, which I wound him up about calling him a work shy slacker. He then informed me its the longest time off work since he was 16, he was 61 at the time. I said, what about the time you got your leg ran over and broken. He went on to add that he had the pot put on his leg, one day off, and had it taken off six weeks later. The doc said, congratulations mr 170 you can go back to work. The old man said, good I have my wagon parked round the corner and have been driving for 6 weeks. A bloody lorry driver with a leg in pot?!? Mind boggles.
Then again, and the point to this post is, of you’re on the government sick pay. People cannot afford to not work. Awesome if you have an employer like me that tlets you have so much time on sick full pay

Agree with hora on this one. Best bet is take it for a test drive and give it a proper pasting. Clutches will be your downfall. Any hint of slip. Unless its cheap walk away. Then again my old man bought an old escort diesel that needed a clutch. But with carefull driving got 30k before it needed a new one.
Basically you’re buying on condition and using common sense. Read some ford forums.

I have done the one. Brilliant really. Was knackered my dinner time. Desending all day takes it out of you. Plus you aint hitting the same trail all day. Somewhere like bringewood there is 3 or 4 runs per section and 3 sections so mix and match. Or find one run and keep trying it so you look like stevie smith

Have you seen the athertons front yard. That but bigger

As in imp sport in lincoln?

5 years with mine. We both work full time. We both do what we want, rarely do I we turn friends down to do things, yet we still have plenty of time for each other. The old cliché of being best friends. But we really are.
Even when we spend months away with work. She is archaeologist, and im RAF, never really find any issues. How the hell some people I know stay with their other halves I dont know.

The steel will look cool as fooooook. But for racing……

Roots and rain is bloody brilliant. Learnt that my mate had been on average all season 2.4%slower than his mate all 13 season.

Ladybower loop. Weather was fantastic and im riding well on the downs again. Shame I could climb anything well today. Too much beer recently I think

Cheers guys. Waterproof trousers it is
