cheers, going to use it as an all rounder really, i have a daily commute of 40miles with 2 killer hills so need something that will make that easier

cheers guys….. ive also ordered a pair of leather jeans, 3 sizes too small for that ‘slash’ look…. mid life crisis anyone :)

icebreaker pureplus ‘jetter’ of ‘aspiring hood’.. very classy, supa practical and no one has them :)

Ive since been carrying the ol co2 around with me… yep those Lezyne look the biz and the reviews back up the looks with performance…. now then, carbon or alloy :)

cheers folks,

Cant email some of you as no address in profiles. can you drop me a pm with details pls

one_spgATyahooDOTcoDOTuk

cheers

mine is quite ‘draggy’ and not as smooths as expected (its had minimal use) – sometimes i need to pedal backwards a little to get it to engage

new icebreaker list on its way to me so iainc i’ll keep you posted (the real fleece kit is wicked)

liking the rainlegs

my commute is a 30miler round trip with 2 nasty hills so breathability is main driver for kit choice

stealth was always a wee bit warm for me…. al;though the stealth lite tights are great

like the look of the montane photon jkt

yep, i get mountain hardwear kit cheap and was thinking of opting for a full on ‘on the hill’ jkt

i’m still using my 800 lupine wilmas which were state of the art 2 yrs ago, dont think i’ll ever change em unless they fail. Like all things there will always be sheep who fall for the ‘next best thing’ hype….its how the world works, actual need does not come into the equation.

anyway, i’m off to completely change my drive train to D12 cause cav uses it and the posters are great, and my 8months old SRAM is now out of flavour

ok, thanks, now can you explain :)

cheers folks,

ok, i’m 5 ft 7 and live in the highlands, we get quite abit of full on snowy weather here for long periods of time hence the keenness on a trailie type bike. Last bike i had was a zzr600 which was fine but i work in a forest so will need something that can handle short sections of forest tracks

no cafe down stairs in the cardigan shop….. lush cafe up the road in an art gallery, nicest meal and coffee we’ve had in years, great staff too… cant remember name though…

well,was i glad i did stop over, for £130 me wife an i got 2 sets of jeans each, i commuter cardigan, 2 nice sets of wifes undies, 3 kiddies tops and 2 pairs of shorts, oh and with the jeans and we both got a set of sample kaizen selvedge jeans for £25 each!!!, and we are average size (me 32, her 12)

defo worth the visit and thanks to Tom in the shop for knocking another 20% of the final price :)

maas van beek… i just wear speedos for that total aerodynamic effect

ahh, arione carbon… no stitching as far as i can see… issue was to front of shorts nowhere near the saddle area….

baggies on a litespeed vortex, are you mad, you’ll be telling me to wear a helmet with a visor next, perhaps a camelbak or even have (dread to think) unshaven legs..NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

33KPH for the 50KM round trip commute (killer of a hill for the last 3Km)..

ribble alway the best prices for assos.

Folks, dont know why peeps freak out over these, we’ll all happily pay £500 + for a set of forks, £300 for brakes etc etc. I’m riding somedays for 5hrs+ and to be honest anything that makes my ar$e more comfy i’ll gladly pay for… BTW, my last set of assos bibs lasted 5yrs so i feel that its a good return on the cash…

oh, when i say ‘short’ version, i mean the normal ones

5ft 7 here with 31 inseam, dont really want to look like an extra from YMCA so may opt of the long version….

proof….. news of the world sport section!!

of all the days i cannot get a babysitter, and i live 20 odd miles away…grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

ah, just had an offer on a SS dura ace rear mech to upgrade… what would be the limitations of doing this…anyone???

105 come in either short or med

so its either a sort cage or medium??

cool

i thought as much. will chech BETD though

so, how about £250 on custom ones form an ebay shop with a trader who has 1 star, buy a purdy (again online) and aim both barrels at me eyes….

I think i may go to highland industrial supplies and buy some bolle work shades for £5

cheers, now can you recomend me a mighty fine wheelsmith who could do the buisness on the rims for me….

both speakers, will check other cable tomorrow…cheers

cheers…now anyone go any to sell??????

cheers… lovin the baffin boots, no stockists here though

OMG… i didnt realise it was so tricky and complicated (1080, 960???) but then its mountain biking, i should have guessed.

Its going to be used as a learning tool for new riders to review
their progression, we use a flip at the mo but i think a helmet / chest cam is better for on the bike stuff.

Will check out all links and footage… cheers all

thanks all

met a girl at renaissance after doing 6 pills (1995 sasha and digweed – them were the days!) got driven back to my mates caravan where we stayed up for another 24hrs bashing it…. fell asleep with her in the main bedroon with candles lit. woke up to a room completly black. The candles had burned both the bedside tables, we were both completely covered in soot, hair, faces, mouths, noses etc etc. Lucky to be alive…..

now let that be a lesson for ya all

5ft 8 in me platforms!!
