Im in, got everything with me in work :)

My wheels came and despite saying they are boost they aren’t 😐😐😐😐

In the long run the best bet is to get a top end pair of Astro boots, leather, not plastic, Adidas Mundial or similar that also come in half sizes.

mess about with the format & it all falls apart, get it back to mtbs for next week i say :)

Good ride, good upper body work out also :) much appreciated Dunc, true Gent!

always nice to see a few familar faces and a few new, i plan on being out more in coming weeks (maybe not next weeks road ride) so see you all again soon

Lets put the hammer down & do a great hill decent back into WC :)

Hoping to be there

I recently relocated to Bolton from merseyside due to the love for a women, so i know what you mean about meeting new people.

I don’t get to the MNPR much due to working in Liverpool until 6 or 7pm, but they are a good group, you should join them!

If its sold out (because such a small amount were ordered) its not an option is it i guess?

bit like xl soul back in the day…

Pay day is today… another ocassion cotics lack of options for a big man leave me going elsewhere as i dont like those other colours, not for £600 anyway.

No dark metal XL? Is that until next year?

Sadly work won’t finish in time today :(

I’ve just had an Asgard x7 Bike Shed installed, Whilst I’m happy with the product so far, the customer service from Asgard was absolutely atrocious, enough for me to know I will never order from them again.

Twice my shed build was not completed because they had the wrong panels, at no point in the 20 days between original build date & me receiving the final piece did anyone as Asgard contact me other than replying to my emails when I threatened to contact my credit card Company.

When I enquired, No compensation offered for the delay & to add insult they sent out the final piece for me to install myself despite the fact I had paid £200 for installation, hours & days wasted of my time.

Whilst I sympathize with some of their staff, they clearly have a flawed system & the installers were quick to tell me this is an all to regular problem.

So not just me…

Hoping to attend (as always), will plan to come straight from work i think :)

Any bolton lot cycling there?

Dj Sakin & Friends 🤙🏻

Half size up or full size with a footbed

Sadly work slowed me down again! Hope to be out again soon!

Had it last night!? What the score??

Have a small group ride then 👍🏻

Ive just changed from a f30 M Sport with M Sport suspension to a f31 M Sport with SE suspension, its the only option for the specific car.

Id say the SE suspension is obviously softer and makes for a nicer day to day drive, however the increased body roll is noticable on twisty bits. Im sure the greater weight contributes but its enough for me to be considering the ACS upgrade widely documented.

No bike until Tuesday unless any long legs have a loaner

I have a Fiat Panda 100hp as a second car that my dad uses mainly alongside his van. In fact i don’t think Ive driven it this year

Few bits that are well documented online that you should look at…

Drivers seat, Foam prone to giving way & the medal frame coming through the sides, also the base & back are prone to wear.

Steering wheel, prone to creasing.

Gearstick Gaitor, prone to tearing, cheap material.

Plastics in general are cheap & switches / vents know to crack, fail.

Bumpstops, known to lose them & dampers prone to leaks, check under rear end.

Syncro in 3rd as mentioned above

Rear brakes prone to sticking on, reversing & braking hard tends to reset them

The car in general prefers regular use.

Also note if tall the steering wheel isn’t adjustable & you have to rev it hard for it to ‘Come Alive’ 4000-6000+ rpm’ which isn’t normal driving.

Sport button weights steering nicely but makes accelerator pedal to sharp for normal driving.

The car wheel spins & understeers easily also.

As mentioned by many above, the ride is what it is, for me, the novelty wore off pretty quick, its great on the right A roads, for me unrefined & noisy above 60mph on the motorway.

For the missus first car with a £4000 budget id really struggle to recommend it myself, its simply a toy for me & i wouldn’t want it as a daily, id be looking at a Suzuki Swift Sport or maybe something more refined such as a polo, thats totally up to you.

Whatever you do, have an extended test drive!

x6 Sheep / Lambs killed by Pet Dogs in White Coppice area in May 2018 to add some balance

Im hoping to come, car is loaded up, just depends how i get on with my DIY this evening.

Dunn will text if I’m coming so you know to wait for me :)

Should look at the Giant XTC 29er I’m selling for £300…

Let’s add some context here, someone probably boozed up threw a bottle at a slow moving bus, shattering the window, as it’s designed to do, terrible behaviour, sadly not un common in any large town or city these days, happens to public transport daily.

What has happened is its given everyone an alternative headline to run with… Especially those who can’t show the goals.

regarding English clubs being banned, there is a reason it was English clubs and not just Liverpool, that is because violence was an epidemic in the English game back then, heysel was the final high profile straw.

My eldest is nearly 15 and really struggling since we moved to France Last year.

Is he French?

Where do you live? sounds like he needs a change

I rode these two bikes back to back a couple of times at a local demo day last year.

I loved both and in the end went for a Four simply because it put a bigger smile on my face that day, maybe the extra nimbleness helped & in my mind at the time suited my riding more, on reflection now, i don’t feel i could have gone wrong with either.

Im 186cm with long legs & ride an XL Four.

Im very keen to Demo a Stage Four / Five though :)

Composing this thread will have used the same amount of time as clearing snow from your back window by hand for a ten year period.

Where are you?

Hoping to be home from work in time to make it, reason i missed last week!

Will know at 730 & will text dunk if I’m on my way :)

keep it close to original starting point & do rivi for ease?

Ill struggle to make belmont or brinscall on time

Do we have a leader?

Im in :)

Drop me an email

But is it a million miles away from a Titus Fireline frame you can get for £600?

Maybe not a million miles but quite different to say the least! Ti probably the closest thing!

Liverpool game Monday night so I’m 50/50
