I am awaiting delivery of a Creative D80, was recommended by one of my friends.

Bike24.com were good for CXRays, and they seem to have all spokes in all sizes, got stung by my bank for conversion to Euros though.

Jelly babies work on my 7 year old, he will happily pedal/push to the top, as long as I leave a trail for him to follow.
I agree with everyone else, the blue is much more fun for less effort.

Taylorplayer – didn’t work.
Still not got Lubuntu installed, the hash value was incorrect, downloading again

Lubuntu was still downloading last night, so not had a chance to install yet.
Taylorplayer – will give it a try.

Thanks for the Link Stoner, I actually think I read it before, and has been stored in my unconcious until now.

I have Chrome browser, but it doesn’t have the Flash Plug-Ins

Yes its a hexxeh build, will try installing Lubuntu.

I have owned a TVR Vixen for 12 years, its never broke, let me down, Insurance is cheap, tax is free, and its more than doubled in value over the years.
Also have a Lotus Elise, totally different car to the TVR, its also never broke, its cheap to run, depreciation free motoring.

Unfortuneately very little in stock in the John Lewis sale.
I quite like this one

Thats a lot chunkier than my 5

Currently got a Seiko 5 automatic, it doesn’t keep very good time and I often don’t wear a watch for a few days and it stops (obviously), also it looks a bit girly on my man sized wrist. So something chunky and probably divers style.

I have had one since January, no complaints from me.

Not sure if they are the same, but I bought some from ASDA for my kids bikes, and the outers didn’t have an internal liner, which meant that the outer rusted (internally), and I had to replace them.

Are you selling the other Pace?

Measured the X last night, fitted a pair of 26″ wheels (no tyres) and measured the internal clearance of the frame at the outer edge of the rim. So between the rear chain stays its 53mm, 77mm between seat stays, and between the fork blades its 55mm.
The frame is an orange 58cm with carbon forks and looking for £250 + postage.

Will do :-)

It was TNTs, they are uper tight

I will be selling my 58cm Cotic X frame and fork in the near future, I can check if a 26″ fits if you want?

I couldn’t get GEAX tyres on a a Stans Arch, but I might have been trying to fit a tube in as well!

When I was Elise shopping last year, I went to see a £6k Elise, it looked like it had spent the last 6 months in the North Sea! I ended up spending 8K on a good original one, its a great car, reliable (really) and cheap to run.

Has managed to raise £50k in funding

It was last autumn, but the path from hillend to Boghall was barely rideable for the section that runs parallel with the A702, it was chewed up by cows hoofs, and its full of large stepping stones.

Selling my Superstar Wheels as recommended by 100mphplus for £200, they have covered 400 miles.

11-36 works fine with my 9 speed XTR rear mech (long cage), 40T up front as well.

I have a pair of Superstar Alpha wheels, the first rear rim lasted 200 miles, cracks appeared in the rim on every non-drive side spoke hole.
Superstar were great and replaced both rims under warranty, to the latest Alpha rims.
However I have now covered 200 miles on the new rims and I have broken 2 of the non-drive side spokes, going to speak to SS today.
And because there are only 8 spokes on the non-drive side, if one breaks, the wheel goes so far out of alignment that the wheel won’t turn in the frame.

Also got a Carerra Luna 24, great VFM.
Make sure you get a 24″ wheel though, my daughter was 8 and son 6 when they got theirs.

Mindmap3 – just found the sizing guide and I look like a Large, however lots of reviews here seem to suggest they are a bit on the small side, however there is nothing worse than a flapping gilet.

What is the ‘fit’ like of these Scott Gilets, reviews online make them out to be pretty tight for their size.
I am 6ft, 85kg, 42″ chest, 34″ waist, would XL be the best size for me?

I was at GT on Sunday and it was very icy in places, and the fire road to the Buzzards Nest carpark was closed to vehicles.
I ended up going off piste as the main routes were worse where the snow has been compacted.

An original Aston Martin DB2/4 Owners Handbook, which I sold for £200, although was a bit annoyed to see it up for sale at Coys a few months later with a guide price of £1000.
It was part of a motoring book collection I paid £200 for, I sold the books I didn’t want for approx £1000, and kept the rest.

I have been using Mobil 1 0W40 Engine Oil since I used up the last of my Finish Line Lube, I really can’t notice any difference over any of the bike specific lubes.

I reuse 10 speed KMC power links on Shimano and SRAM chains, 4 quid for 2 in Decathlon, they are branded KMC.

The wife is working late tonight, so won’t be able to make this one.

Would be interested if it was a Midlothian ride.

I bought these pliers http://superstar.tibolts.co.uk/product_info.php?cPath=36&products_id=506 and it makes it so easy to open and close 10 speed links, also using the KMC links from Decathlon and they work fine with Shimano and SRAM chains.

I am 6ft with a 58cm, it fits nicely but a 56cm might have been better.

I currently run 1×10 40T on the front and 11-36T on the rear, I don’t race, it just for fun. It can be a bit spinny on the road, but work well most of the time.

I have had an Archos 80 G9 Turbo for 6 months, I don’t have any complaints for the money (£200), its maybe not as slick as an Ipad, but it does everything I need.

Kona Blast 24″ for my 6 year old son, and Kona Luna 24″ for my 8 year old daughter, also a bargaintastic £80 and £75 respectively off of Gumtree.
