yeah have seen that just not sure if its proper size space or bike wheel space

had alfine as commuter, all good but you do lose power in higher gears feels like its flexing now have 1×9

changing tyre can be a faff with alfine

cheers guys

yeah had checked weenies and google just pulls up ccc and hotlines

take a last minute biking holiday booked with her credit card, she’ll be home before realising she has paid for it

nice flow personally, bit different to most rappers

dont laugh but a mate bought me a model of one of those bikes years ago as a birthday present, no he doesnt ride or know anything about bikes as you may have guessed

i have m&s / axa home insurance with items away from home cover which covers items up to 4k £38 a month all in , bikes etc all covered

hmmm cheers mate might mail njee20

apparently fire brigade have to breakdown doors if no one answers

but very irrisponsible if not amusing to see end result

maybe oli and liam will take their road bikes to make it harder

go for a ride, went friday and a bit disapointed even though i got a road bike this year. dont remember much(if any) body armour.
bit of poor turnout from the big boys this

they all get paid too much anyway and thats coming from a mate who is a tube driver and loses 250 a day for striking

i couldn’t care if someone doesn’t actually want to buy what i’m selling once they have seen pics but it would be nice to know one way or the other. people soon get annoyed when they think they get gazumped on a item. i always give them a day or so.

manners cost nought where i come from.

a well trained pooch with big teeth normally deters most uninvited guests i’ve heard from various police persons. judges gnerally take owners side if said oik gets bitten in home when uninvited these days as well

maybe he was dropping off bikers like the one dropping of the surfers in apocalypse now, less bullets flying though and colder

would be obvious as 1.5 inch is a lot bigger a tape measure would tell

presume subarus wont float if he gets it wrong

serious piece of kit, driving not bad either

inject laxatives into the fruit??

hmm cheers guys

must be a wind up

if your worried about giving out bank details set up a savings account then no one can setup direct debits/standing orders etc on that account without alerting the bank. thats what i do now.

whatever your views of riding on footpaths what if a kid stepped/fell on it

tossers

cheers guys am placing order now

sounds like winner, they are going on a cove hummer with 140 revs so should stop on a dime

that is my general thinking

i was thinking of getting middle ring only(as i spend most time in that) but wasn't sure if it would feel odd running 2 types of rings on same chainset if you see what i mean. i've started running a 28t cassette and have noticed one knee aching a bit etc

thats about right as you would have sag with suspension forks anyway

should have been faster , wouldn't have got caught then. but no i dont agree with jumping reds

winstanleys were doing exposure maxx for 240 quid!! i bought one yet to try off road but its very smart

so it dont get smashed as bad when you come off, its knows when an off is coming you know

true mineral not as hydroscopic as dot

from what i know from a mate who runs an old school road boy shop in london most of the money made is repairs as repairs dont require loads of money to be tied up waiting to be sold. he has always said there is money to be made in having a repair only shop with just consumables for sale especially if your any good at the repair side.

you may want to look at the city in guilds certificate (bike doctor i think run it) as i have heard it may become recognised as a more professional qualification as it is government affiliated/regulated i believe.

if you are basically saying that pumping lever a couple of times makes brakes work better then it is prob air trapped / seals in lever damaged or worn so they are not pushing fluid correctly to activate pistons. non returning pistons can also be air trapped as there will be less vacuum effect to pull back pistons.

one test is to take wheel out put large screwdriver between pads pull lever and hold. if you can push pads back with screwdriver to any extent while holding brake on then prob air.

make sure you use fluid that isnt too old and should be left to stand for a few hours so no air bubbles in it.

cheers mate

was wondering about either of those but never seen in flesh. is the nokon not that smooth then?

where did you get the mrp??? no one seems to have stock yet in uk

rapid rise all the way much more positive shifting and you can change up quicker

hmm cheers billyboy you sound like me always tweaking for perfection if its ever to be found??? one day and many frames later i'll get there.

i think i'll prob. try for a 2nd hand ti 456 to start with (and money wise) to dip toe in titanium water if i like it then move up if i need to or go back to steel which is fave at mo in my book. but i'll change my mind by the morning, well it is a mountain bikers prerogative after all.
