Jesus spongebob what a vitriolic spouting of hate.

I suggest if you think bankers are paid too well for what they do that you join the industry to compete their wages down and do a better job than they do.

I will however leave the short supply of people who actually know what their doing to continue earning me returns on my pension

in terms of blaming one set of firms for inflation you can stick that theory back into the abyss of ill informed puss from whence it came 🙂

See my earlier response:

I went for a Hone in a similar position but cant remember how much it was or if you can still get them!

Probly best not be displaying even part of your address kaesae….

the lake house, really nice little place if you can get in

very impressed with a recent stay at ‘the lake house’. Didnt check out their bike facilities and might be a bit too nice if your after a boys weekend vibe!

Anyone here using 2010??

anyony looked into power pivot? just done a training course and it looks really good for local reporting 🙂

Reminds me of this

p.s. (been done already)

It does say in the comments….

Want 😀

Nice one mate, getting into the Hills really does wonders for the smileometer 🙂
Slightly mad for going on alone but all credit to u!

I love how helpful STW is these days….

but i have no other advice! id be looking at genesis personally get an I/O and some forks?

nice one mate, i took my mates out for a lunchtime drive and ended up getting on the motorway by accident, nearly shat my pants…

Aaaahhhhhhh good days………

Dont know but had a browse when they came up on the thread earlier, looks friendly and impressive and just down the road from the hogs back brewery. hummmm four pint ale tour…. its worth the trip just for that 🙂

I expect my problems will mostly be sorted out by the recent flouncing…

Stiffness refers to the lateral movement in the frame rather than the vertical movement which adds to comfort.

It is generally a good thing because it allows you to corner more accuratly and confidently. It makes the bike feel more solid and confident and holds a line a bit better. There is no need to worry too much unless you actually ride towards the limit of the bike.

Stiffest ive tried has probly been a demo 9 but a turner 5 sport DW comes close. However i chose the ibis instead because although its slightly flexier it was much lighter. Its sometimes a trade off unless the designer gets it spot on

can you measure her current top tube length and compare it to some mens bikes, my GF is on a mens Giant small which suits her very well

Basically investment with access to lots of complicated financial instruments which pretty much knowone fully understands. Therefore anyone who does understand and manages to make lots of money for their clients is very rare so can comand a lot of money.
If you think its easy get into the industry and try and compete their wages down…. good luck

Ive got the Alfa Mito 135 BHP and that take two bike with the back seats down no problems.

Oh how I wish I could have got the cloverleaf 🙁

ok ill bite…

Inflation is a sign that demand is higher than supply in an economy, this means more people are competing to buy fewer goods therefore prices rise. This can be refered to as an economy ‘overheating’

By putting interest rates up you reduce the amount of money people have in their pockets and therefore reduce demand which in turn helps prices come down again.

Unfortunalty the current bout of inflation is not really being caused by a traditional overheating economy. (how many people to you know splashing money about atm) therefore raising bank rates would actually make little difference. the current causality is more along the lines of rising world food prices (population growth, drought etc) and the increased competition for goods from the newly developed world.

This state where inflation is High but growth is low is sometimes known as stagflation and its what Japan had through the 90’s and is pretty bad.

hope that makes sense, its the first use ive found for my economics degree so far…

Watched the whole thing, makes me sooo annoyed….. Im not getting to go this year 🙁

Really good vid and even as a skiier makes me want to get out there

hehe reminds me of many a train journey, although not quite to that extent!

In my experiannce they do not deserve that rep and the quality of the damping has always been the best out there (appart from bos, Cane creek etc)

The servicing they recommend is simple to do but I just clean teh seals off before each ride and they will last for as long as you could ask. What gets me is the people who complain about stantion wear but their bike always had massive piles of mud stacked between the arch and the stantion, what do u expect?

Anyone recommend a good online retailer, Im after a new E-SKY CP2 Lipoly and Heliguy and buzzflyer are out of stock.

Well the fox F120 QR 15 is superb, light and stiff.
The damping is way better than any RS forks ive ever tried and the servicing stuff is the same on almost all of them anyway.

No idea what tyres it will run though and they can be quite ££££

Suits my Cotic perfectly 🙂

http://www.boots.com/en/Buttercup-Cough-Syrup-150ml_851352/

I got them for £150 a while back but looks like they have changed the range slightly since then. the lower end shures such as the 115 mentioned above are well worth a look though.

Fourbanger- I would actually aggree that they are not the best available if your music taste is dance or heavy metal but I really like the sound profile they have as it suits my music taste (more acoustic)

Shure e420’s from play (or a step or two down the range if thats too much), are amazing and better than the BOSE hype

anyone who hasnt already got an ipod has lived in a cave for the last 15 years, of course they are worth it

Just for god sake buy some decent headphones not the crap u get with them (shure are good)

Anything thats been used in an MTB film, always brings images of the film back. Rise against is good 🙂

good stuff in this area to both sides of the ridge

11am
loads of other rides through the week check:
http://www.nirvanacycles.com

Parklife

BnB

its a free for all so tag along, its got more ‘jumpy’ over the past few years but you get a warning about anything worth looking at and its still well worth going if your not into that

If you have found telegraph (lane) then you should be able to find parklife (up the fireroad near the top observation point and barry knows best/ golden birdies which is down the fireroads from the top observation point in the direction of peaslake, just over the road from a fenced off area with loads of cut logs

find someone to lead you? can be a bit of a labarinth

Nirvana cycles rides on sunday morn is a good way of seeing the best bits

otherwise there is a ride up in the trail guide bit up there ..

the shame in front of 10 year olds would put me off

interested but doing family stuff over easter as i expect alot of people would be

p.s. what on earth is mamil i nearly missed the thread

i had the 2007 ones and they were god awful , no idea about newer ones

Faults:
Flexy side to side
Flexy under braking
Poor damping
Not as plush as id expected
faulty ATA that wound itself down and went back three times without being rectified

all i can say is i hope the new ones are better, they couldnt have been worse

Ive also got an omnia 7 and am really happy with it, it just works, outlook is particularly nice.
Id second the limited selection of apps/games but theres enough for the basics.
Also get reminders/next appointments on the front screen which is good

Are you an aggressive rider who can feel the limitations of an air shock?
are you a well built chap?
It strikes me that the litespeed is more of a mile muncher than an aggressive decender and it might not suit you and the bike.

I would be careful, its supposed to be an incredible bit of kit but it takes a bit of tuning and its only really going to be a game changer for you if you are feeling the limits of your rp23.

its really easy to have a go yourself

Use your finger/ a pencil to fudge a truing stand

(or you can ignore the detail and just tighten the spokes by screwing in the spoke nipple)
