    Should be an app you can get from your service provider to track data usage.

    It will, but it will use wireless preferencially. You can tell it no to use 3g if you want.

    Boneshakers crew ride Arials on their night rides, they like them, but I think they come in heavy.

    Stayed here once, was OK, new set up then and flawed in many ways and owners seemed a bit ignorant to what bunkhousers/mtbers wanted, but I heard recently they’ve changed/upgraded some things. They had some really firm looking bike storage.

    My mother would have said alcohol was necassary to get through many of my Primary School events. But she sat in the naughty row at the back sniggering with the other naughty mums.

    I thought it was going to be some Snowman themed Xmas trip on a charter train pulled by the fully restored Flying Scotsman Locomotive…

    That butterwouldntmeltinmymouth look on their faces led me to believe that another dog was sneaking in and making the mess

    Angus used to get shouder deep in the bin sometimes, so much so I could sneak in right up behind him without him hearing me. Then Yell REALLY LOUD “WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU’RE DOING?” and watch him leap back, bump into me, realise the bin lid is stuck on his shoulders, send the bin flying, try to run out of the kitchen only to find the gap between the dishwasher and the cooker is too narrow for the bin lid and only then as a desperate last resort try to look totally innocent as if the bin attacked him.

    Thing is the look on his face as he realised that even his looks of innocence weren’t enough always cracks me into laughter so I can’t stay angry at him.

    Maybe comparing 26″ 650b and 29ers, kill the debate once and for all.

    Last year it went from aweful to something with real promise very quickly when you consider how fast it was thrown together, so I have some real hope. For structure alone, TG is a great example. They have 5 sections pretty much, and “The News”. That works well, allows an amount of deapth but if its not something you personally care about then its only 8 minutes or so. I wouldn’t try to turn it into TG< but a few challange type segments might be good. Coast2Coast is a great idea as that’s something alot of people, even none cyclists, do.

    We got one a while ago, not one instance of doggie squits since. He was obviously getting in much more than we realised.

    Speaking of, I’d like to see a bit more Top Geariness on The Bike Show. How about 3 guys spend max 250 on ‘mountain bikes’ and try and get round a trail centre on them etc?

    Then have a proper bike shop assess the damage at the end of the ride.

    New Airline marketing ploy – This flight hasn’t sold out, leak it that Snowden’s on board, BOOM!

    Don’t be scared to go into detail, its a show for people who like cycling, so odds on we know some stuff already, and if we don’t we can find out. So how to put a helmet on your head etc can be skipped for more detailed helmet/kit reviews. If you want to provide full info for utter novices provide a glossary or something on your website.

    Also, we generally have an attention span, so segments can be more than 5 minutes long, the world won’t end 😉

    Depends what they’re doing to him… but no, i doubt they’re that organised, cunning to be honest.

    Given that no-one knows where he is I’m wondering if they’ve already got him.

    Trolling isn’t edgy anymore, once the BBC started running reports about the phenomena it suddenly looked like a lazy attempt to recreate Beadle’s About.

    No, the BBC reports ARE a massive troll, as they misuse the word and I’m always 4 paragraphs into a massive rant before I realise what’s happened. They use to describe online bullying/stalking. Troll is aimed at a community, not an individual. The moment you start to target an individual you step outside trolling. Richard Bacon doesn’t ‘have’ a troll, this perpetuated ignorance just because the word sounds good – AHHHHH… nope its happened again hasn’t it.

    Yeah Glass and CAP V. Expensive, and treated as semi confidential info. Best way is to know someone in the trace, who can cap your car so you know what the deal is.*

    I think he would suit a 29er though.

    Ah, bit like that is he? beardy, sandles? 😉

    But seriously, wait a few months for the new on-one.

    Yeah FSRs come in aluminium, the Evo is base model. I’d look at Meta SLs though, some bargainous prices on CRC last time I looked as everyones getting AM/SXs.

    Meta SLs will be on offer from crc soon, as with AMs (which are awesome!).

    I’ve only seen the first one, but it bored me and I didn’t finish watching it.

    In the CGI-Pixar type stakes, the Incredibles has yet to be beaten, but UP was pretty close.

    from chain reaction

    This is what will happen.

    If you send it back to them at your own costs they will take it. So they may do you a deal to save the bother. Ring them, not email, email guys tend not to take on board the nuance of the situation.

    I did a similar thing last year, bought the Meta frameset in the sale, then the next day they massively reduced the VIP Factory Frame Kit (as above Plus reverb, saddle, fork, bars, stem, headset etc). So I bought that despite it being too late to cancel the frame. I was all ready to send back the first frame, when I opened the second one to find it had the wrong frame in… In the end they let me send back the wrong frame (a Supreme DH), and keep the meta AM. But I had to call and explain to a dude, emailing just got me a stock answer that missed the point.
