    The more I move the better it feels but it doesn't last long. My bollox knees mean running is out of the question. I might have to do a [gulp]….

    Considering Stock wasn't supposed to get a single flake today it's really going for it out there. Looks perty.

    An old X7 mech decided to wrap itself around my cogs when a stick went through the spokes. It was right at the top of the first climb on a Moel Famau epic. I stopped before the whole thing ripped off at the bolt. Amazingly we managed to bend it back into place and it survived the downhill back to the carpark.
    Arsed up what should have been an all day-er. The other brave souls carried on without me.

    Before I arrived the company had done a chrimbo in Paris, a chrimbo in a big house in the lakes somewhere. When I joined we did a weekend in Amsterdam…noooice Then we did Oasis one chrimbo with our sposes invited as well. Then we did go karting followed by some pottery, (both fun when drunk).
    Recently we've done flip all exciting and it's been getting worse and worse.

    What stilltortise said. I was heading there yesterday but 3 flats on the canal path forced me to bail early 🙁

    still miffed I didn't even make it to the lumpy stuff 🙁

    The 'gayness' for folks who were wondering is the fact that despite having a go anywhere bike I was completely halted in my tracks by a dead plant on a canal path.

    I find this incredibly gay.

    I'm 6'2", 14 stone and ride the Peaks. I've got an '05 Nicolai Helius FR with a coil shock. I wouldn't use anything else.

    bearing in mind you can get a new Cube for £450ish, I'd say slightly less. I'd split.

    me, I can endo and skid my Elixir R's with my little fingers. Absolutely true. My Hope C2's could do it as well, just.

    no pics but goes something like:
    wheel in bike, vernier, lolly pop stick, lacky band, nipple tool

    not the greatest idea but it does take the worst of the knocks out

    sorry Steve, I'd say that's the riders fault. I believe the correct name for riding up the outside is filtering and it's perfectly legal. If I was coming up behind two big vehicles then I'd tip toe round like a seal in a shark tank, especially if I couldn't see what was infront of them.
    I have a similar problem coming down Greek St of a morn. I filter down the outside so I can turn right onto the A6. There's a keep clear junction just before the bus stop and I always approach with caution.

    I can recommend Elixir R brakes, by christ they're good.

    good god no!!! I was introduced to one in the Northern quarter. Flash assured me it was the best beverage in the whole Belgian Bar. The stiffled laugh from him and the barkeep should have sounded an alarm in my head but alas no. My judgement was impeaded by Hoegaarden, Liefmans framboozen and an Anchormens peach beer.
    I was presented with the chemistry set above.

    Tasted like shite.

    I use it more at night to scare owls. By day I use it as a start point for much longer rides.

    Tis the way I do it 🙂
    It makes a good night route as well.

    edit: to compound the issue I bought some over trousers as well but I thinks it's too crap even for them.

    HT1 is the future. I fleeted with HT2, didn't last a second. Utter crud.
    Keep the bearings on the inside and they'll last longer, and won't knacker your BB threads either.

    I can also reccommend a Fett Set for the ultimate headset.
