HT every time,

i cant afford to make a FS light enough, so they just feel heavy, i do miss the traction on climbs and bounce on the downs of my anthem though

its easy to share on your facebook page too btw, create a sharethis account then link it to your facebook profile

all the best!!!

havent tralled through the rest of it so sorry if i am duplicating…..

1) it'd be tetanus id be thinking about not rabies, so make sure you are up to date with your shots

2) vets are open 24/7 my local pdsa/vetsavers are, it is not cheap on a weekend/out of hours though

3) the fact that you offered to cover vets bills imediately, (and probably looked earnest…) makes me think she is testing the water to try and see if she can make a quick £100

I wouldnt be paying her, and i am essentially a white shorter version of Ghandi, but its up to you really

me too

i found the climbs were tough, and i bottled a couple of rocky bits, but it was a blinding day out

cheers for the offer duc, but i am designated driver with me and a mate i think, we're aiming to arrive about 10am sat morning

i'll be on an enigma ht with far too much hope colour cordination, say howdi if you see us?

edit

sorry andy! didnt recognise your login, how are you doing? are you taking the softtail?

sam what is that!

one of the simplest beautifulest things i have seen in a long time

bontrager big sweeps are great but really difficult to get hold of

googles says

jesus creepers:

Old looking Leather sandles, often with left over sand in them from previous vacations.

forgot to mention evil tom baker!!!

if you want to drop a load of weight you could do what i did which was to buy a ti bashring off the guy that does them on here, and an nstop

£30 all in, and looks tidier than the other ways imho

i've got one on order, should be here any day this guys has one and it looks ok?

really liking the rc31 ctypes, and 1×9 though i have some sids which go on when my skills run out…

19.04lbs

great vid and fantastic tune too

i rode a perfectly flat bridleway in northamptonshire for two hours today but This is the one by the stone roses suddenly coming on shuffle on my mp3 player made me grin like a madman…

with all the fittings and extra bits it cost flippin £1400

looks like we'll be lucky to get 10% of that back!

not jilted btw, just skint!

i did consider the mascara smeared mince around my local high street, though i dont think id fit in it, the missus might tho

kaesae i respect your tenacity, i havent read the rest of the thread tbh

i know nothing about bearings.

or bottom brackets for that matter.

i need to replace my bb i run a raceface evolve xc crankset (2008/9 ish) with a self extracting allen bolt set up.

some questions

1) what type of bb do i need? is it mega exo or something, is that a generic name or does each manufacturer havetheir own?

2) do you do external cups in the "hope red" colour?

3) which bearings would i need for high mileage low mud conditions, how much are they and how do i buy them?

cheers

tim

timdrayton@live.co.uk

any discount pound shop or hardware shop has them, you can buy packs of multiple sizes for about £2 in my local…

it'll be in Baldock Herts btw

talk talk are an indirect isp, how would they know that you have any malicious programmes on your pc?

(they only resell a BT broadband product)

deffo a scam

uninfect your pc as per the above advice!

TandemJeremy gets angry over what some bloke said on the internet……. again

Hes not the brightest is he?

for a moment he was probably quite illuminating…..

To be honest, If this guy had been killed outright, I could almost see how folk would be a bit black-humoured… But for the sake of nicking a bit of metal he's going to have a lifetime of pain, disfigurement and disablilty, and I really cannie laugh at that.

especially as he'll be facing charges when he recovers, these guys seem to be hardwired for crime, bet it really hertz too…

igmc

anyone up there this sunday?

will be there from 10am, any maps etc would be good as i dont really know where to go?

timdrayton@live.co.uk

Cheers anyone recomend a track pump that is high enough volume but doesn't cost too much compressors seem to start at £99….

Bloody missed a ride this morning, I'd like to be able to sort this out meself without having to go to the lbs….

btw

if you want to sort this out yourself do you need a mini compressor (and if so any recomendations)

or can you use a track pump, if so whats the cheapest one that works?

just done the sink test

the tyre has about 5 v small holes, unseated the tyre and the latex seems to have dried up.

i put another 50ml in then realised my little hand pump wont reinflate it so i'll take it down the garage in the morning.

how much fluid should i put in a 2.1 racing ralph anyone know?

there isnt a rim strip in it? is this a problem?

about a month?

seems to be getting worse not better

I went 1×9 withan nstop and Ti bash ring only cost £30 that saved 1lb

pace rc31 carbon forks (£200) will save you 2lbs

get a kmc x9sl chain somewhere was knocking them out for £25 the other day that'll save a bit too

get a pg990 cassette

got mine down to 19.04 lbs now!

i thought manuelgate was genius, i was one of the 4 people actually listening to radio 2 on a saturday night at 9 pm, and even though i was driving my missus to hospital i was moved to chuckle…..

top man thanks for that!

my father in law popped round to let my dogs out whilst I was down a+e with the missus this weekend, and nicked some plant bulbs from my back garden!

granted not quite the same league but i wish i could set the police on him….

south park made me chuckle last night with the space hopper scrotums

talk to a professional,

its amazing how that helps rationalize and focus your thinking, an outside viewpoint can be very illuminating.

hopefully you will then pinpoint the issue(s) in your life, which will then be easier to resolve.

(unless you are one of those people who subconsciously long to be an amputee, i would imagine there would still be some barriers to your ultimate fulfilment should that prove to be the case.)

i will swap you some chloroform, a hacksaw and a bite guard for that american flag mech and shifters though 🙂

jedi, yhm

futon river crossing if ever i win the lottery i will buy one of those, lovely

cheers all, she had a sinus operation a month ago and is well used to chronic headaches, so tbh it was left later than a normal person would, and this probably didnt help the drs in diagnosing it either.

thank god for the 3rd doctor we saw…

spk to her this morning, and she says she feels slightly better (at least not worse)

fingers crossed, touching wood etc etc

grynch thank you very much for your email, i've responded 🙂
