correction- i refrained (for a while)
ok price drop, then splitting.
cheers chaps

very funny, thanks for the tag.

Strangely enough this is a serious question i don't want to be wasting your or my time asking for too much, so please pipe up if you have an opinion on the price i should be asking!?

got to love them in orange 😀

defo interested… jhw7@aber.ac.uk pls

get a hope pro II rear hub…saves lives 😀

depends how old the car is?

personally after having a rover 214si as a first car….once the heads gone its time to walk away!
but then a 25 might be different.

paid around £250 for new head/skimming etc

is there anywhere else you can buy a dealextreme P7 light from for a similar price?
gave up waiting for dealextreme after a month

yeah they will cancel no problem….happened when i tried to buy some superbly cheap pikes but just missed out.

get through by phone is impossible generally so just email

not at all helpfull….but you could get a really nice bike!

<optimist> The driver was indeed in a hurry due to an emergency and was shamed by his actions but had no choice </optimist>

<pessimist> He was indeed an (insert insult here) and will get what he deserves one day</pessimist>

you choose, either way it could have been worse ie you are not in a ditch right now 😀

Staying strong is helping your family dude, hang in there buddy!!
Hoping for the best for your Dad and you all, stay strong bud…

lol "chain smoker"….funny that i have never smoked… 😀

have not ridden airs but coils are buttery smooth and take a battering.

Swapping out springs to match weight is an easy job, but obv not as easy as precisly tuning air chambers.

pop me an email too pls
jhw7@aber.ac.uk
cheers

lunch

Alpin- my god thats what i wrote my german a-level on! 😀

lol no pics ye sicko 😀

Correct diagnosis guys, dam you guys are good!

Ah ****.
Yep I'd say its coming from the bottom of my stomach, great news. Thanks for the diagnosis folks!

i am mtfu but its freakin annoying and i know this place is frequented by doctors so thought someone might have an idea.
Is that a serious suggestion about worms? I did drink from a particularly dodgy water source recently…

sweet cheers chaps!

may have it wrong, cheers for the heads up!

just make sure there is biking nearby!
Just about to finsh (graduate maybe) from similar course, jobs out there but you'l have to fight for em. Be different by the time you finish…

buy an orange one 😀

Seriously sweet bike!!! soo much fun, run with pikes and fat tyres. Box chainstays do keep it pretty stiff but its just so responsive and hard wearing.

Best money i ever spent!

Ride it for hours, back is not too much of an issue, probably more due to bag weight/seat height/stem+bar reach etc?

I'm pretty tall so have the xl and its perfect.

Buy one dude, won't regret it!

thats super cheers guys

sounds good to me, love sites where you can just 'chat', resolves problems quickly for free! and you can do it from work or uni.
do it JEJames

tibal- nope i am definately doing it, leaving spring 2011, after finishing uni and raising cash. Just want to get ideas as to how to do it, i dont want to end up coming home after a month and not getting anywhere!

TJ did you do all that on your own?

Well tbh i all i have done in the past is a few family holidays to france etc so dont really have a clue, went to Jordan for research last summer which was amazing and now i want more.
Its got to be different to the UK though, i mean like europe might be a bit 'samey' so id love to get just more east if that makes sense.
This i going to be my first real trip, and having not been anywhere before its hard to just choose the one area to go to, hence the round the world idea 🙂

I was thinking of doing it by van but i definatelky want to be meeting people and getting more of a flavour of the place so maybe hiking/public transport/bike but then again i do actually want to get a long way which im worried hiking/biking might not happen.

Also if i could pick up some work/volunteer work on the way that would be good, i dont mind just working for food.

Yup

38T x 3T rear runinng long cage, looks mint, runs smooth

ahem

yeah dw i am jus gona do it and my own way, but its cool to get that buzz reading about other ppls adventures…cheers for the posts, more pls!

group buy!
i'd go in

google "betd"?

lidl/aldi occasionaly do a £15 one which is surprisingly good

hello,
i stil have a used one from my clearout a while back.
Any good to you?

No. I used to bleed the 'motorcycycle' way but its not as effective in my opinion.

Re-bleed as before but:

as you go, flick the hoses and tap the caliper/lever to move on the air bubbles.

Do you have a hose or something attached at the lever bleed hole?

If yes, push thru fluid till no more bubbles come out, then (with fluid visible in the pipe @ bleed hole) close off the lower bleed nipple (on caliper) and pull on the lever sharply a number of times.
Bubbles will exit the lever.
As the bubbles leave, fluid will need to take its place so either ensure there is still fluid @ the bleed hole or push thru some more from the bottom.

Thats what helped me out anyways.
Let me know how it goes.

p.s also !make sure the pistons in the calliper are pushed back all the way before you start!
