I prefer to have my palms greased…

No not me, i have occasionally gone with that combo for long descents (snowdon etc), but with aviator style googles, not DH type ones…

Wearing Full Face + goggles at Stainburn any UK non DH trail centre.

EDIT: and then mincing round the features…

In fairness we do say “clip in” – as in “Argh crap I can’t clip in!!!” when starting on a rocky down. A problem toe clips would likely solve now I think about it… Oh no, they’d just be upside down and snag really wouldn’t they. Scrap that, silly idea…

Yeah, i ticked flats, as more riding time on flats, but I do have spd fitted bike, and spd pedals for other bikes for when the mood takes me…

“No sir they are on the top of your head”

You can wait a lifetime for a moment like that. I hope you were staggering deadpan in your delivery.

I get it bad when walking, greasing up like a minty monkey is the way to go.

No, but I always imagine you’d need to be this guy to get it all perfect. If you find one post feedback. What is the frame, its something I’ve love to know the secrets of.

Oh I wish I hadn’t seen this thread… #hides wallet#

Well I’m starting down this path right now, it did ok today, got pretty rough, skipped to diff sprocket at the back I think, but I didn’t lose it. My chain is one link too long at present as well.

Bike is a Meta AM btw

I found one ripe for the picking! I got 5th last week when I stopped, went back, did a bit again, then trundled down the loose rocking road of discomfort on my hard tail. 5th!!!

Bitch gonna be mine I thought. Today, game face, bouncer, high speed compression off, go faster sunglasses. Pinned it. Hit all my lines. Felt sure I 2nd at least. Nearly checked at the bottom but though no, this will not change how i ride [much], got home, STRAVA NOT RUNNING!!!

Turns out if you minimise it while it’s still ‘locating’, it doesn’t play…

well now I know.

Heading out after work this evening, hopefully all the tourists will have done one abd I’ve have the trails to myself.

Either way, Cheers – found one on ebay, and now know its worth seeing if I can force it (chain should be one link shorter in ideal world) with the S/R pliers.

Cheap tool off ebay or cheap tool that’s cheap to make if you have the metal working tools?

If the latter then giving it the 🙄 seems a little unnecassary.

Wouldn’t necassarily be through the night, avoid rush hours would leave the middle of the day available for inner city deliveries. staff would be available to receive them etc…

But the important thing is the government is shown that there is support and a real demand for things to change.

Not a bad piece all in all, not great but ok, but the letters they will get…

Cider? The punishment for excessive drinking on a young system will come all on its own. Be very happy to see him the next day, with sudden movements and loudness.

Also, no way this is the first time. just to burst that bubble for you.

New car park, cafe and skills loop. Not been yet but hear good things.

You will LOVE those brakes btw.

Well COCK!

That explains that then. Should have read the instructions. Was a **** to fit, assumed I had a dud. That was why I had LBS get me a sram over shimano… thought I was being forward thinking and everything… thanks guys.

the LAST techy bit on Rangers pass, I still claim my line was good, but not enough commit, front too far down not far enough forward, weigh far enough forward, supermanned, well more Usain Bolted, one arm out infornt, severe bruising, but no more. both lucky and unlucky.

Nothing, I went to a bike shop and bought stuff. I feel good, helps that I have an awesome local[ish] bike shop in Boneshakers of Harrogate.

Zee cranks, x9 10sp on the rear end and a fibre flare rear light (very impressed with)

For me it was about 23… 😳

No visible wild gesticulation or alarm in the signal box…

Are you the only one in your office who doesn’t read the Daily Wail. When that was me I just gave up – Yeah fine, spanish pigmy lesbians are coming to steal your babies… what ever. Can you pass me the stapler?

Yeah I took the intentional decision to remove mine, on a rcoky decent, in the wet… and just an allen key too. All the really cool people don’t have the adjuster any more… 😳

The bit about the helmet is equally frustrating / moronic / ridiculous.

Its irrelevent, she may, or may not have been wearing knickers. Doesn’t change the fact she was run down and killed. Oh I’m all cross again now, I’d calmed down.

June I think, if you check the thread on the New Pike LoCo rang up the importer and checked.

“Mrs Fyffe wasn’t to blame in any way for the accident.

“However, she was not wearing a safety helmet and that in my view contributed to her death.”

ALL

MY

RAGE.

EDIT, no, they still last elections results up…

Given this was last time round, I don’t see us having any huge surprises. Fatty boy tory returned as usual.

I had some air pikes which I killed the remote for, learned to live with it. If I’m riding with friends the pace tends to be slower so rarely lock out, if on my own I might be giving it a bit more, and like you say, descending on road.

I’m putting all my money into canned food and shotguns.

Ah, when I bought a kit it was only lowers stuff, so less space for confusion. 😆

Website tells me they have expanded their range.

1) not as such, but I doubt the TF stuff is 5w if its from their lowers kit, thicker stuff keeps everything better coated – which is all the stuff in the lowers does so-

2) Nothing (other than waste oil), as above its just to cover everything in oil. The bike radar is for old Rev (dated 2010), so go with the rockshox advice for your fork.

*unklehomer is not in anyway a prof. fork fettler, just a keen enthusiast.

Didn’t stop the BBC airing it on HIGNFY… south park on the N****r Guy episode* – or With Appologies to Jessie Jackson.

*I wasn’t going to sensor myself but I got all scared and confused. 😐

It’s available online and affiliation comes in different levels (I imagine), ours doesn’t include the mag ;-P

Did we get a free pen?

But yes, it gives them weight increases the proportion of MTB aphiliates. Also they have been good for STA, and are the best bet atm IMO.

I joined as I fancy writing emails asking them to do more, and they will have more wieght if I’m a member.

The water provides a soft landing, and the swimming is good for elderly joints. That’s some considerate thinking there actually.

Annoys the vindictive … cyclists who are too cool ….

I have spokey dokies on my wheels for that.

I wrote this rather long-winded blog post:

That’s you! That was good, liked that alot.
