For winter I only use gore stuff and in summer I get my kits off monton….yes monton

Flame and citron

We need win at lords or this counts for nothing

We’ve done this in the last 2 series and let the back in

My god though I did enjoy seeing them squirm

The Quo, what ever you want….

Ahh but do VW T5 owners wave at you……….ha haa got you there…………..sorry

Jeez I’d like mark my logs and weight um, I use a little moisture tester and it seems to work fine

BTW I’ve had a Firefox for a couple of years now and have no complaints

Aggghh it’s a mountain bike

We had the same with my little one a couple of years ago, wouldn’t sleep, massive temperature blotchy skin! took her to our local drop in centre and they rushed us by ambulance to the infirmary, she was treated for meningitis with antibiotics on a drip and did 4-5 days in hospital (wasn’t easy with my wife heavily pregnant with our second) but doctors were pretty sure it is a virus that mimics meningitis and scares them half to death aswel as us.

Never use a sharp axe

I wish mine wouldn’t, it’d save me a fortune

I used to work at a coach garage that took in a stray jack Russell and called it Bolllocks, which was more amusing when one of the fitters decided to take him home one weekend, he got into next doors garden and his wife had to go out and shout for bollocks.

Meyt n prater on a barm joe

I have a a set of look delta pedals with cleats you can have for nowt if you want them, you’d need road shoes to match

And I’m only on Hindley if you want to pick them up (btw your username really does offend me)

Email in profile if you want them

I have a nice set for sale, brand new

If your waiting for Wigan to pick up, don’t it looks like we are doomed, the entire club is in turmoil

When you say on the street I presume you mean you went for just a quick ride and in that case you may feel jittery, you need to get some speed up on the open road, but you will need proper clothing in this weather on a road bike, as said before, everything needs to be windproof. If your on a budget I’d try the stuff aldi sell I don’t particularly get on with it but plenty do, plenty I ride with do. Oh and yes you’ll need guards.

As far as hand position goes, general riding on the hoods (top of levers), climbing hoods or flat of bar and descending on the drops.

I use craft Siberian gloves and put a thin pair of roubaix gloves underneath when it gets around freezing especially on the road bike

+2 for the montain morph although the larger Lenzyne are good

Disney frozen castle done…….

Mine aren’t here yet, but I will be like an automated message in an hours time ,”get out of the kitchen”

As long as you stick with a hand biuld you can’t really go wrong, if you run shimano the 105 open pro combo seems prefect, I’ve had centuar hubs with opens pro rims for years and years and they weren’t new when I bought them, mine are heavy but in winter I’d trade realibility for weight and speed anyday, especially if you like me you ride at night on unlit roads.

I’d just steer clear of factory built wheels as if you ding a rim they can be hard to find straight away and can be a fortune to replace.

A lot of the lads I ride with seem to like ambrosio hubs with open pro rims, I think they’re be my next wheels for my winter bike

Ooo that doesn’t look right at all, I’ve had bother with schwalbe road tyres recently……seems they have gone shite

Spinach?

You must be a bloddy southerner

I’ve used conti ultra sport on my winter bike for years, they don’t roll fantastic but they are really grippy and cheap

Welcome…….it’s the future

I just gave up with mine and stuck a 10 speed one on I had

I’ve had a Firefox 8 in for a year now and I’m really impressed with it

Apart from the cooked tomato (just wrong) and spider’s leg on the egg, that is picture perfection.

No it isn’t where’s the black pudding?

Try Atlantic boulevard at bury

The only thing we can garantee is the that it won’t be their fault

I have a Firefox and it’s been really good

Sewing machine oil on mine, works as good as anything else I’ve tried and I get it free from work

I’m 5-8 and a small handjob is bang on for me

I’ve had 3 of the things I like them that much, I prefare it to a cotic soul I had.

The only thing you’ll understand….. is that you’ll never understand them

Yeah forgot about tri comps, I liked mine and they lasted ages

Conti 400s are good I just don’t like the look of them, ultremos aren’t good as they were and michelins pro race have never been any good

You can’t can’t beat sidis and there are home cracking deals on at the mo

At 5-8 a 56 will be like riding a garden gate, you need to get measured up properly at a proper roadie shop

Just get the best framset you can and replace the other bits gradually over time, there will loads of sales on roadie bits soon anyway
