jeez, that footage of his mate falling was awful!

Who Dan Osman ? That was a controlled fall, the one he died in wasnt filmed to my knowledge.

I thought this was going to be thread about Microsoft Word going bonkers, most disappointed !!

Well FWIW i really like the Mondaine's, not too pricey but nice looking methinks:

The Look:

Hmm, i have a Tadpole, its been through 2 sets of poles and got flattened once in some serious wind….good luck !!

There is only 4 weeks between a bad haircut and a good haircut

these dont look very toned down to me !!

Is there any sort of a fix for stripped threads 'cos I cant afford any new cranks. At all.

You might be able to get an engineering company to Helicoil them but will cost you as much as some second hand cranks off Ebay i would have thought

Due to the fact i can get Conti's or pretty much anything else mainstream onto my Campag rims i went for Schwalbe Blizzrds, i run them all year round with no problems and really like them.

I think you have been ripped off, as already stated the license is non transferable and no amount of calls to MS will sort it

If you got the Laptop for a good price then put it down to experience uninstall it an buy Office Basic\Standard or download OpenOffice

Oh and it's me who failed and ian owned by 1969

:lol: :wink:

Giro's just done fit me, they seem to be to small front to back.

I really like the Bells, the Sweep R is my fave

Hmmm some interesting options cropping up, quite why you would even consider paying £150 and upwards for a headtorch for running when the frankly more than suitable Petzl Myo Xp is £50 i dont know, but hey you pays your money and all that……..

Petzl Myo Xp:

Be careful with the Amazon Sennheisers, there was heaps of fake ones being punted by their sellers, google Fake Senheisser to see what i mean.

Eh ?

Just grind the back of the pins off, or pay £4 for a single sprocket of ebay !!

Sounds like a real bodge job to me, oh and make your mind up !!

Couldn't say if it's much faster/lighter

Why not? Also, more comfort, faster, lighter.

Guess I'll have to see if Charlie the bike monger has any.

I got a Salsa 32T one from Charlie, looks good, fits well, cant fault it for £25.

Never used Shure but was tempted a few years back, i have been using these for a few years now and think they are pretty awesome:

If i had the cash i would buy one of those Spot Longboard's today, i dont think i have ever seen a better looking Belt Drive, SS, 29er !!

well I yesterday recieved a set of Reba SL's from Merlin – OEM, yes, £224 :P, in a sturdy box, with bubble wrap etc. steerer was rough cut to around 230mm with a sfn in it. serial no. intact and manual, reducers, pushloc. total bargain on a fork that retails well over £300 (full rrp £370

Ahhh yes but the question is can you change them to 120mm !!??!! :wink:

I think she looks good, am with mrmichael on Kat Von D too, something about her, dont know what it is though !!

i would almost certainly bet you will need a new cassette too

You can spot the pompous climbers in this thread from a mile away. The guy just asked a question…

And the guy has had several good answers, your point is ?

Yeah it is but you have to consider the consequences of a slip while riding, you aint going to be wearing crampons and carrying an axe while you are riding so the chances of self arresting are slightly diminished !!

Bit foolhardy IMHO, but hey, sounds like and adventure non the less

Have a read of this for some of the potential problems:

I'm a chav

:lol: I thought you might be, didnt want to bring that up though !! :wink:

Another vote for fisherground.

Cant understand what it is with fisherground, i have never found it to be anything but terribly overcrowded and usually full of chavs, as for fires they are a major headache on campsites, you tent stinks of smoke and is usually covered in ash after one night !!

Only a few miles away try this one, its a 30 second walk to a great pub too:

Depends where the slot is ?

I have one of these sat on my desk, running dual off my laptop, we also use these on our CAD systems, they are spot on, only 1680×1050 though so if you need 1900×1200 you will have to spend a little bit more:

just divided between the ME tent and coughing up for a hilleberg nallo

There is some discussions on various forums that Hillberg seem to be trading on thier name rather than the quality of the tents, i would go ME between the 2, good after sales and a good reputation for good quality kit

That said i have about 5 tents, of various makes, ranging from £150 cheapies to £450 mountain tents, my favourite and most reliable…. a vango, dont overlook them, they have been in the game along time.

Ahhhhhh after re-reading your post i see you are a Windows hater, thats fair enough !!

Unfortunately, that would make a less reliable, secure, louder, more expensive solution than the ready NAS box.

Erm, OK, what do you think a NAS is exactly ?

Its essentially a stripped down PC with a stripped down O\S, still has fans CPU, MB, HDD etc. etc. and is therefore still as reliable as any PC ?

smbla won't do you much good in france.

I dont think there is much that will do you any good in France apart from a French guiding qualification, then again i may be wrong !!

Get a cheap PC, stick 2x1TB Drive in on RAID1, buy copy of Windows Home Server, sorted

On that note, how are Mountain Kings?

I asked a similar question a while back, pretty horrible in the wet by all accounts was the answer

Could i still Waxoyl it if its got a bit of rust and damp in there ?
