brilliant thanks

That was fun 😀

Where will photos and results be posted please?

set your boss up into the position whereby something he was expecting you to do, that he should have done himself, blows up in his face big time, and you can’t be blamed for it.

THIS!

id say roughly 2.35 minion = 2.25 ardent = 2.2 xr4

ring the rangers and forest cycle hire in the morining……

Good choice sir, my preferred choice (over ardents/high rollers etc).
2.35 front, 2.2 rear….love the grip, love the low weight!

However…the 2.35 i bought new (good price at evans) had a number of pin holes in the sidewall from new…one ripped larger after a few rides and would no longer seal. Sure its just an unlucky batch!
Needless to say evans were faultless with returns (1 year bontrager warranty) and my replacement is in the post!

Both come up wide (2.2 is wider than a maxxis ‘2.35’)

It’s 2 step air if that helps 🙂

Because it’s the only thing I actually wear everyday I went for it and bought one of these….

needless to say I am very excited…and avoiding all other sale shopping 😀

strictly is sooooooo lame

Evans have a few left…TLR versions just sold out

keep em coming 😀

Is there good place to buy such a watch?
or just the usual google shopping…

tony, now you’re talking!

Cannot recommend Osprey rucksacks enough!
Have a Talon 22 and now a Exos 46 and they are superb, excellent back venting system and comfy. Lifetime warranty!

and 15% off from cotswold: AF-CTC-M7

I love cider (Henry Weston Vintage Reserve….yum), but have recently found a love for proper alcoholic ginger beer 😀

wish i wasnt working!!

will they be strong enough? will the wood compress and allow play in the headset?
would look cool though 😀

foamy it is…cheers 🙂

resulting wanted add 😀

get one of those ‘stick yer beer caps on’ ones…superstar?

cafishsalesco…yes please my man, il drop you a mail and sort it out in the morning.
Do you have any bearings spare too?

silicon spray shouldnt have done any harm unless it was a mix of something?

Yeah reasonably weight orientated but if the high roller grips way better for a few more gramsk?

Thank you Sir! I owe you a beer, really appreciate it.

latex gloves under any old pair…. ghetto

Be very careful trying to swap or trim without bleeding, make sure you have no air leaking in or else next time you flip your bike upside down the bubbles will move and ul be off to the LBS

Small gift just as a stocking filler then some time away travelling?

Or a miniature pig…

Take it to a shop, its not always a case of just giving every spoke the same ‘quarter turn’ etc.
Or have a go and get them to check tensions etc after

Google Sheldon Brown’s wheel building guide, excellent read

OP- good on you for speaking out, too many people just let these scum get away with stuff like this. If everyone actually grew a backbone and spoke up they wouldn’t be able do it.
Makes me so angry when I see them passing on bad behaviour to their kids.

I ask people to step out of the shop until they have calmed down now, in front of kids/shoppers no problem…It is not our responsibility to deal with the asshats.

Marcus- leave it out, a jobs a job.

….wow you folks must be bored! Very impressed with the duck related humour 😛

Thanks yeah starter motor makes sense I will take it off and have a clean, much appreciated, have to duck out now lots of chicks to pick up in my sweeet ride 😀

If you have replaced chain/cassette then it wi slip on worn teeth up front.
You will need to take the cranks off to change the middle ring.

I would say it is well worth popping to your LBS for a quick chat, they should be able to tell straight away if your rings are worn, or quickly have a peek in your free hub.

Agreed sounds like middle ring slippage over teeth as allowed to between rings?

I see thank you! Easy to fix or replace starter motor?
Guessing it will eventually knacker the starter?

Bah…..funny men 😀
Any real mechanics?

Haldon has a lot to offer 🙂
Pop into the bike hire shed and talk to the tall lad if you need any trail advice

Oh and if its not raining, come in the morning! Much much quieter 8)
