went to bedgebury and found its been much improved since last time. new berms put in to help flow and a lot of work in general to help the drainage. Had a go on the new black run too which is fun but not really black run level if you know what i mean.

used to ride flats had no problems keeping my feet on the pedals etc but i much prefer clipless now. i have greatly improved since. once you get over the fears of being clipped in its no different tbh. i have done everything i done on flats on clipless but imo my climbing is improved when clipped in.

my reasoning behing this is when the back end slips on flats there is little you can do to keep momentum and carry on where as when your clipped in you can keep momentum by pulling up.

this is just my opinion and preference though :-)

buy some carbon grip paste will help the stem grip the bars and should stop creaks and squeak's

try biting each end off a twix and using it as a straw then when you taste tea eat it :D

is lovely but no good for the waist line :(

just keep hold of it for afew weeks something for nothing rarely happens so enjoy it :lol:

For the price on-one are selling them for the u-turn in included for nowt lol

i think you will love the revelations mate i have had them on a long travel hardtail frame and i loved them.

only reason i sold them was because they were QR but they still did not feel flexxy then felt like pretty much point and shoot :D

got them from on – one :D

got a set of the 150 revs on the way to me now for my full sus can tell you what the like if you want.

Pretty sure there be fine with a 20mm maxle they will certainly be stiff enough for the job and they love trail riding .

the on one smooth can be brought for tapered steerer or standard 1/8.

very very well :D

coping brilliantly. Not had any major issue's with it at all i have jumped on it done double's on it ( and cocked some up ), crashed on it and it still looks like the day i brought it.

Its a true pleasure to ride and i cannot recommend the frame enough.

Only small gripe is it should have a bb protector plate for when you drop your chain but i have applied some real carbon layer protectors in the area to stop it getting damaged. Even when i did drop the chain under full tension on a hill it barely marked the outer layer let alone the carbon.

Seeems strong enough to me :lol:

A failed abs sensor can throw up problems everywhere as well do you not know any mechanic friend's or know anyone with a diagnostic machine?

If its VAG get it put on a VAG-COM and get a print out of the faults.

on one smoothie mixer? got it on my on one 456 carbon its smooth as yer like :D

how you finding the xct 555 albino?

if you could keep me updated on how much they change the bike that would be great always better to get a user's opinion first. i thought marzocchi were good at 1 point i would never recommend them to anyone now. :?

found the floats for £335 a little bit dearer.

The bike is a KHS xct 555 currently got a 140mm marzocchi 44 tst2 fork and i hate the way it works. i have had rock shox revelations and there 10x better.

The bike is fine and the rear shock ( monarch 3.1 ) is buttery smooth.

The pikes are 454 coil U turn and the bike has a 15mm bolt through axel atm but my other bike has hope hubs so i can run either.

Just not sure on what forks are better the bike currently weighs 32 pound its not lightweight but there is always room for improvement another option is the Magura thor currently on offer for £360…

one 1 456 carbon or whippet?

got mine off Ebay brand new came next day as well.

elixir R's on ebay for £150 a set brand new with rotors and adaptors. got mine off there and they are brilliant.

just get a new 1 off ebay they sell on there for really good prices usually last lot i got were yokohama tyres £200 with free delivery for 4 and they were good tyres aswell.

wish it was closer… dartford to derby is abit far :(

i got the £40 decathlon shorts and tbh there 1 of the best shorts i got i prefer them over my altura mayhem and endura zyme… :o

fibre optic virgin is the best i have ever used i have tried BT,orange,tiscali,Aohell, talktalk and none of them compare.

2.35 panaracer rampage i can spin out on the SS climbing on cold and damp ( not frozen! ) tarmac. compared to cheap shit nevegal/blue groove ( wire bead, OEM, 11 quid a go from wooly hat shop ), i go for the kendas.
you need a man-size 2.35 though

suppose it depends how much tarmac you want to ride on generally i am riding on mud :lol:

ive got the panracer rampage but in the 2.35 variant i have tried nevegals , and maxxis ignitors and i prefer the panracer by miles roll faster on road and grip better on generally everything I highly rate them !

They also got a fair few good reviews :D

Not being funny but it sounds like they are in a worse situation than you they have no 1 in-line who knows what there doing by the sounds of it. Your expected to show the other guy what to do right?

If it was me i would be telling them what i was doing If i was you mate i would go out with the extra money i assume you have earned from all the other time and go and book a 2 week holiday with the family.

Take a copy of the holiday dates to HR hand it to them and say ill be off those dates and walk out.

What can they do fire you? for what? there only going to leave themselves short on staff who have no clue what to do then there buckle under pressure and they will have no 1 :D

dont afew of the oakleys have this?

my mate just got a set halo sas wheels 48 spokes on the back wheel not chance of breaking that 1 :D

I was getting the exact same thing. brought some specialized Gel gloves with the ulnar nerve padding and it has stopped all the tingling.

BBG bashring from usa turned up in 4 days … and costs around £12 and choice of colours :D

recieved fine mate will be posted tomorrow . regards tony.

paypal address is tony18@hotmail.co.uk shall be posted first thing in morning could you please email me your address as well.

regards tony.

all public transport is getting dearer its not alot more now to go in a cab over the bus with the bus fare being £2 but the comfort and the fact that the cab picks you up from your door far outweighs it.

i can do £30 thats over half price then postage will be £5 atleast so ill only get £25 for them anyways :-)

got a carbon ec70 post and its been brilliant. no problems with it at all except it sliding down while riding due to being in a carbon frame but a bit of carbon grip and all is good. feels solid and looks smart.

merlin do chain and cassette deals

pics here. could do with a spin in washing machine due to bedgebury mud but the sole's are like new and they still smell like new inside.

Apology's for being in wrong forum :oops:

how about "less than jake" and if you like abit of random trumpet action "Reel big fish" have some brilliant feel good songs which can also make you laugh. :-)
