    My Hone cranks flaked and died after a few Peaks rides and managed the flattened the ally threads (yes it was fitted properly). The RaceFace cups had a more sensible length cup and lasted slightly longer. 6months later and a reem’n’sleave I reverted back to octalink. Not touched and not had a problem since. I saw an Octalink crankset and BB on Merlin for £30 so snapped it up. Christ knows when I’ll need it but it was too good to let go.
    Zokes – tiz funny how some peoples HT11 seem to last forever. Maybe it’s shimano quality control issue….?

    A huge engineering step back in my opinion. But it’s a step which will mean customers will keep going back for spares’n’upgrades. I’ve gone back to Octalink,cartridge stuff. Tis marvellous stuff where the seals work and the load is directly over the BB threads and you don’t have to worry about all this ‘facing’ bollocks.

    Last duo cranks I ran were some Coda Experts. **** brill but only if used with TA Specialite rings (29,42). I think I was also running a Ringle antisuck plate as well.

    I wouldn’t bother. But then I run cartridge BB’s 🙂 The bike I had that ran HTII had to be reemed and sleaved after the sloppy arsed shimano cups ate my threads down to nothing. I’ve got a shiney steal insert in there now, it’s ‘ard as nails.

    HTII = bag-o-pooh IMO

    we’ve got a Maclaren MX3 it’s **** ‘A’ and suitable from birth. When TRHjnr was first born we used a Mamas’n’Papas seat thingy which clipped into the car base and also into the buggy. DON’T BUY A TRAVEL SYSTEM. imo they’re too big and the cost doesn’t justify the expense

    maybe the orginal question should have been reworded to summit like: My mate has been caught speeding again (the bellend), I reckon the punishment doesn’t really fit the crime in this case, what do you think?

    or have I misunderstood…..again 🙂

    The fact that the proportionality of the punishment is down to how good his lawyer/blagging skills might be p!sses me off no end.

    Have you told him that everyone thinks he’s a twunt yet?
