Black respro stuff has been on my commuter, used all year and left outside since 06, no peeling at all.

Lidl jaffa cakes are far superior to mcvities.

Don’t lose Geralds tiny o ring.

Sorry, damping oil is separate on fox :oops:

Fox 7wt is Torco RSF Medium.

I have read of folk using sae 80 gear oil instead of float fluid. I just used the fork oil as its definitely better than dry foam rings.

stuartanicholson, heavier oil will mess up the damping.

I prefer High Rollers to Nevegals, better in the wet, no more draggy, super tackys last longer than stick-es, sidewalls don’t tear as easily, fewer punctures.

A 2.35 Nevegal is as fat as a 2.5 high roller.

I lived north of Aberdeen for years (near the meikle partans funnily enough), horrible place, windswept, barren treeless boredom.

70mm on a a large here. I’m 6’3″. If i was doing long xc rides, i may put a 90mm on sometimes.

mboy, they get louder as time goes on, quieten down again when you regrease. No stupid pawls or tiny springs to lose when you do take them to bits. Agree about the rrp, crazy!

Having had pro II, bulbs and a nukeproof, i wish they still made bulbs.

Nukeproof freehub body seems even more cheeselike than a pro II, Rode 10 days of whistler bike park and a hammer was needed to get the cassette off, and filing burrs to get one back on.

Nukeproof makes a similar horrid din to a pro II.

DT440 are a bit quieter.

Changing the transmission isn’t going to make you faster or braver.

Getting the suspension right is well worth doing.

Maybe blow some cash on a skills training day, Dirtschool gets my vote.

Having said all that, i’ve put new Saint transmission on my Glory just because i could. I’m still crap.

Take them to bits, clean and reassemble, you may get a bit more life out of them.

Can’t make it any worse.

A useful addition to a multi tool,

Vosh fails in Whistler[/url]

Noob double fail at Laggan

Me failing to judge the depth of a burn.

As others have said, Auris is rubbish.

Poor seats. Center console hits your left knee all the time, understeers, stupid lights come on telling you to change up, ugly ++

Windscreen pillar is pretty annoyingly large on a Corsa, massively underpowered too.

Old fiestas are great fun in corners. Takes 2 blokes, bikes and kit just!

In Glasgow we get recycling bins for each block, you can put plastic bottles, cans and paper in it. Bottle recycling is about 500m away. It’s always full.

It was still a good trip!

Every time i’ve entrusted my bike to those morons they have lost it. Waiting for 8 days of a 3 week holiday in New Zealand really made me angry.

There is no “this”. How very bizarre.

All 07 spesh mtbs use the same hanger iirc.

Sebo x4 here. Great vacuum cleaner. But at over 200 sheets i won’t be chucking it down any stairs.

Check the inlet filter on the hose at the botton of the tank, mine got blocked after filling it from a manky outside tap.

Piccy no worky.

SX is hard work up hills.

First to offer payment that day and emails gets the goods from me.

>then the **** sends the payment to you and makes you pay charges.

If i was accepting a paypal payment, i wouldn’t expect the payer to send it as a gift waiving any possibility of a dispute. Is that what you mean Lanesra?

I would usually email a seller to tell them i had got the item.

As long as the cups are not rough and pitted you should get a bit more life out of it.

BA finally gave me back my bike.

Baggage handlers deserve better wages might work?

You will probably be fine as long as you pack properly.

I could ride one handed immediately. 4 weeks for two hands taking it very easy, OK by 8 weeks. Do your exercises to build your muscles back up.

If i had a bike with a rack and panniers, and 30 miles each day, i would use the panniers.

Messenger bags are great for short runs, or if you are getting stuff in and out of the bag all the time.

You could have a clio 172 for that money.

Polo and Pug are a bit lukewarm.

I’ve got a pair, half price. Nicest jeans i have owned.

Waves to the haters.

Because folks are willing to pay thst much. Simple.

about being rodgered by large coloured gentlemen i suspect.

Be prepared for all weathers. Might be icy, might be dusty. I suspect soggy is the most likely.

Super tackys do that. Its the price you pay fro such a soft compound.

>It probably only goes on for about 2-3 hours max and is only during the day at the weekends.

I don’t think that’s too bad to be honest. I’d just put up with it.

£170 on two days with Dirtschool made far more difference to my riding than any of the far more expensive bike upgrades i have purchased.

My deores on the commuter have not been affected whatsoever. I will concede my commute sn’t the most gruelling test of brakes.

Cold things generally shrink.
